PLAY! K9 Academy

Nina is the best!! I have grown up with Shepards and finally got one of my own and was scared that I wouldn’t be able to take her everywhere with me. Nina has helped her so much and now she is able to go on multiple walks a day, she is friendly with other dogs, and can go to dinner with me due to her training and guidance. The best part is she loves all of the dogs she trains they like they are her own! She’s the best and very affordable and WORTH IT🤍

We are from Michigan, and found ourselves in a bad situation with our female 1 yr old Giant Schnauzer (Stevie) while in Florida. She was leash reactive, making it miserable to have her out with us, and it was getting worse, not better. We found PLAY! K9 Academy on-line, and I reached out. Nina was very responsive and positive about being able to change her behavior. We made the decision to do a 3 week board and train session. All I can say is WOW!!! We expected results, but Nina's training with Stevie has FAR exceeded our expectations. So much so, that when we return to Florida we are going to have her work with our 2 yr old male giant schnauzer. In addition to being an effective trainer, she truly cares about the dogs and ensures they are happy and healthy. Stevie showed signs of a UTI the day after we dropped her off. Nina kept us up-to-date and got her to the vet the same day for treatment. I really can't say enough good things about Nina and her ability to train dogs and then teach the owners.

Highly recommend! Nina is an excellent trainer and knows her stuff. The dogs absolutely LOVE her too. She genuinely cares about the dogs. She’s super knowledgeable and has helped me and my pup learn together. The group classes are extremely helpful and my dog loves to stay there when I have to go out of town for a few days as well. I can trust that my pup is gonna be taken good care of and have a good time.
