FirstBarkOur GSD puppy has been at K9 for only 2 days of day care/training so far and she loves it! (And we really love it). I can’t believe how much she has learned in such a short period of time. The trainers are all top notch and I can’t recommend this facility highly enough!

OMG! Ron is a friggin’ dog whisperer! We have a toy poodle puppy who is beyond stubborn and yappy. We are still laughing that we have a NEW PUPPY after just one visit! We cannot wait for our next session to see even more improvement. Ron is gentle, takes his time and explains everything he does with your dog. My only regret is not getting this training for our puppy sooner.
Birdie has been going for several months now and the difference already is night and day. She LOVES going, great customer service, we love the staff!
We adopted Gracie in August 2025 and had no idea what we were in for. Having been used to 2 small dogs, we landed a large lab/dobie/possibly shepherd mix! We went from 0 to 100 overnight!

We adopted Gracie in August 2025 and had no idea what we were in for. Having been used to 2 small dogs, we landed a large lab/dobie/possibly shepherd mix! We went from 0 to 100 overnight! A former trainer who is no longer in business, recommended The K9 Class. Ron, the owner, and his 3 compadres: Hugh, Ronnie, and Anthony, are nothing short of a dedicated, fun, playful, serious when necessary, dog-loving crew! We purchased the Daycare 3 private sessions per day package. Gracie stays all day and gets 3 private training sessions. She's taken on training walks with other dogs, meets other folks in neighboring businesses, and plays with other pups. We also added 5 private lessons. And one of the best features?...We often get "Report Cards" that tell us of Gracie's progress complete with videos to demonstrate training technique. The difference in Gracie is remarkable and has been life-changing! We are most grateful and highly recommend The K9 Class!

I started with the program expecting my puppy to be well-behaved, and I was quite impressed during the first two weeks. I noticed some improvements, and the communication through the portal was good. For the first few weeks, I only received six reports during the program. However, after some weeks, I didn’t see any improvements in my dog. I have a busy schedule at work, which is why I take him to school. Ronny was one of the most helpful during my private classes. But he wasn’t my trainer in the mornings; they said they practiced leash off, but I never received any reports. I spent almost $3,000 at the school, and now I’m getting another trainer to help my puppy become well-trained.
