STK9 provided an outstanding experience for my young, hyper-German short-haired pointer, Tenny. Their professionalism and expertise inspired complete trust from the start. The personalized take-home video showcased Tenny's incredible progress, making training feel effortless. Their positive reinforcement strengthened our bond, creating a well-behaved and off-leash obedient companion. STK9's dedication to tailoring the training to Tenny's needs was evident. I highly recommend STK9 to any dog owner seeking top-notch, practical training with a caring touch. Tenny and I are thrilled with the results!

DJ and Danielle did an amazing job with my two dogs. Training was well worth the investment. Getting my dogs back and being able to just go on nice walks has been life changing for us. My dogs had some leash reactivity issues and now with training they are much less reactive but when something does come up we are able to maneuver though any issues. The trainers communicate their progress very well while they have your dogs. I would recommend their training to anyone 1000%.

Our six month old English Bulldog puppy is a happy, friendly, little terror. Because of this we enrolled our wonderful little terror in STK9 obedience training. We will have to say it felt like Ta Da, a well behaved puppy was returned to us. Our bundle of joy is still the happy little terror, only with manners. After training our puppy was able to follow directions and commands after only a few weeks of training. It has been eight weeks since the training classes ended and our playful puppy still behaves with manners. DJ and Samantha and all the staff possess extensive knowledge of dog behavior including a wide range of training in behavioral situations. The staff is kind and their passion for your dog makes your worries go away. Remember they are teaching your dog obedience and you the handler and owner must also learn and follow through. We have had many successes with our puppy and for that we are truly thankful.
DJ and Samantha and the staff set our puppy and us up for success for that I am truly grateful. Our puppy will continue to train with STK9 as he grows and I am confident he will continue to learn additional exercises and interactions. As English Bulldog owners we know we have a stubborn little one, now we have the behavior skills and knowledge to address the puppy behavior. Thank You STK9 Training Company.

STK9 is absolutely amazing! We sent our 1-year-old girl Poppy to the on-leash and off-leash programs and she is SO well trained now. Before training Poppy rarely listened, she is smart but just didn't care about what we were saying - this training was the best thing for her! We did the day school option for the on-leash program (we had never sent Poppy away for a long period so would've missed her too much with the boarding), but we quickly realized Poppy loved being at school with her trainers more than being at home! For the off-leash program, we decided to board her since she loved being there so much which was great! She learned so much & we can confidently take her to parks off-leash around distractions to let her get all her energy out and fully trust she will come when called. All the trainers & staff were amazing (cannot say enough good things) and they kept us updated on her progress throughout the week. Would highly recommend STK9, seriously blew our expectations out of the water!

I had 2 goals for my poodle mix sibling puppies when I dropped them off at STK9… I wanted to 1) be able to walk them together without them jumping all over each other and 2) learn their manners to become well behaved dogs in public. I am absolutely thrilled with the results of their training! STK9 must’ve made training fun for them because they enjoy doing regular training exercises and I’ve even been able to teach them some new tricks since having them home. When I take them out in public people are amazed at how well behaved they are for only being 8 months. A special thank you to Danielle and DJ!!! All the extra training tips you have given me have not been wasted.
