Signature K9 Training Academy

We adopted Sassy as a puppy in 2021. She is a pitbull mix, very friendly, but strong and hardheaded. After several years of misguided attempts to get her to be calm and obedient, we finally reached out to Signature K-9. She stayed one month in their board and train, with weekends at home. This was a very effective program because it helped train us as her handlers, as well as her. She now manages her energy much better, generally being able to settle herself with a cue from us, even when she is very excited to see our adult son and daughter, her favorite people. She walks calmly through the neighborhood and is generally just much more pleasant to have around. They didn't teach her cute tricks, they taught her how to manage herself, with support and direction from us. I'm glad we invested in this program.

I cannot recommend Signature K9 Academy enough. This is the dog training and behavior modification program that makes others look like a comparative waste of money. We enrolled in a 6 week board and train program and it was worth every penny. The trick here is that it's not a turn-key drop off and you receive a fantastic dog in return. You need to put in the work at home during the weekends, but Daniel and Justin put in so much groundwork and training for both you and your dog that you are absolutely teed up to knock it out of the park. This is not a place that you come to in order to learn tricks, this is a place you come to in order to completely reset your relationship with your dog and learn how to communicate and enforce the boundaries and rules that you want your dog to abide by at home and in public. We came to Daniel & Justin because I have a ‘pandemic puppy’ and was concerned with what the behavior was observing from her limited interactions with other dogs, and my own at-home training was not working anymore. They were able to help contextualize some of the ways that I was attempting to communicate with my dog, and how our miscommunication led to the behaviors that I was observing. Despite the heat we were able to comfortably train inside their purpose built and fully air conditioned training gym, and they were fully proficient and adept at dealing with my dog's unique hygiene needs They developed a program catered to the things my dog needed to work on and we executed on it, simulating the scenarios that she might encounter in her day to day life, and giving me homework to work with my dog on during the weekends. Now my dog respects me as much as I respect her and I’m not concerned with her around children, other dogs, and any other situation that life might throw at us. Thanks to Daniel, Justin & Their Team

We have never been happier with Daniel and Justin from Signature K9 Training Academy. Picture it, Elgin, Tx. 2023. It was a dark and rainy day and we came in at our wits end with out dog Luna. She was over powering our oldest dog, the house and with us. We came in with no idea what to expect from a dog training facility and left there with hope for us and our dogs. Daniel and Justin were so informative, and patient with us and Luna. They explained the process of how to proceed with our LUNA-tic, as it was a challenge to break Luna’s bad habits that we created. We have learned so much from them and were given the tools for our dog to be obedient. Thank you, Daniel and Justin for teaching all of us all how to behave.

Daniel has been exceptional to work with — He has gone above and beyond to work with our dog and create an individualize regiment that was very specific to the issues we have with our dog. His work ethic is obvious in how much time he not only spends with your dog but also you. Our dog has made huge strides of improvement in so many ways. He’s been incredibly helpful, given us peace of mind and hope. I highly recommend!!

From the initial consult, Daniel listened and addressed our concerns with our 3yr old Coonhound Luna. Luna had begun fighting with our older dog and with very little home manners and structure , she was taking over the house. We signed her up for the 6 week B&T and what a difference! Even from the first lesson, we could see a positive change in Luna’s behavior. During that 6 weeks, Daniel was very helpful and available to answer any questions that we had as well as sending us videos and photos of Luna’s progress. Unlike other dog training facilities, where you just drop your dog off without any contact for the duration, we were able to be a part of the 6 weeks of training. We also had 2- one hour lessons a week at Signature k9 with Daniel and Justin as well as being able to take Luna home on the weekend to reinforce her training. Thanks to Justin and Daniel, Luna has learned home manners, obedience and our trust in each other is building and getting restored.
