Summit K9

Prior to working with Alex, my Otto was people reactive. No way would I even consider bringing him anywhere except for our normal walks and 100% controlled environments. I was even scared to death to bring him to the vet when he was due. I told her I wasn't looking for perfection. My #1 goal was for him to be comfortable around people. Since working with Alex, I can take him out in public where there are people without him losing his mind. She gave me the tools I needed to work with him. We are still training and working towards our ever expanding goals. (One step at a time). For example, I can take him to Lowe's and walk him around inside. I was able to bring him to the vet very successfully! I was even able to enroll him in Summit K9's scent detection club and we attend every class. If it weren't for Alex, I have no idea where Otto and I would be. I don't have enough praise for her!!!!

We adopted Remi in February 2021. She is a 3-4(ish) year old golden retriever with significant behavioral challenges and an unknown history. She is insecure, anxious, overstimulated, and has no social skills. We were totally in over our heads with how to manage her behaviors and help her live a stress-free life. We started working with Devan and Summit K9 primarily to address Remi's reactivity to other dogs, and to teach her basic leash manners and obedience. We have seen major progress!!! Devan has shared her invaluable knowledge with us about dog behavior and relationship building. I am finally able to walk with Remi around our neighborhood without her pulling me the entire walk, a major milestone for us. Remi has also recently joined the day camp program where she is able to safely socialize and work with other dogs. She is making new "friends" and learning that dogs aren't so scary after all! I truly cannot thank Devan and the Summit K9 group enough for all they have done, and continue to do for our family. We are all truly living happier and healthier lives the further we travel along our training journey, and we couldn't have done it without them!!!

We have been working with Aubry since July and have seen incredible progress with our pup Remi! She was the ruler of the house and has now learned to listen to commands and understand she doesn’t run the show. We also had a huge issue with leash walking and Aubry helped us be able to comfortably take Remi for walks and actually enjoy it instead of being walked by her. We have learned so much about reading her behavior and learning how to work and train her through working with Aubry. I would highly recommend summit K9 for any training issues you might have!
