What people have asked about this business.

Do you board aggressive dogs? He is an Australian Shepard and just gets nervous & scared.

We have an aggressive dog, they boarded him and he did great.

We do and our rate for boarding is $30 per night. We have private kennels and we can let him/her out alone. Thanks, Chris

Question on Google
do you use e collors

Hi Jennifer, yes we use e-collars, leash training, treat training, and verbal praise to teach the dogs boundaries and commands. My program is also based on the dogs having fun during training, while remaining focussed. Thanks for your question.

Someone mentioned a name like Good earth dog training but I can’t seem to find anything listed like that. A gal does individual training, does anyone have any suggestions? thanks

Chris and crew at UK9 are my go to.

I'm unfamiliar, BUT I can tell you that Chris and Universityk9 does great. I did a 2week board and train first my blue heeler puppy who after moving was showing signs of aggression towards and older sickly dog, and was terrible at walking on and off leash. After working with Chris, it was almost like night and day. I highly recommend Universityk9.

Worth every penny! My Drogon made a 180 in his bad habits and mannerisms! Before he would bark very aggressively at all men and now he greets them! Walking use to be a chore for he would pull and never walk by my side - now he walks right next to me and if he does get ahead all I need to do is say his name and he'll wait for my to catch up. Off leash trained now too! He comes to me when called and rarely do I need to call him twice. I am so happy with my decision to go through UniversityK9! Chris is wonderful and is always available to answer my follow up questions/training for Drogon. Thank you for the wonderful work and dedication you do!

Chris is amazing! Both my dogs have received training from him starting in 2016. We followed him to the new location to keep up their socialization and have referred many friends who have difficult dogs with excellent results. I wouldn't be able to take my dogs everywhere with me if it wasn't for him. I'm evacuated due to the fire and my dogs are sound asleep. They listen, adapt to changing environments and know how to handle themselves.

I picked my 2.5 year old German Shepherd (Taco) up from the 2 week board and train program at Universityk9 yesterday. Taco has always been an anxious boy and got distracted/acted out easily and wasn’t the greatest at walking on a leash prior to his training. I noticed Tacos confidence has greatly improved and he now keeps his attention on me - he’s now an exceptional listener since returning home. Something I didn’t think would ever happen - he now walks on a loose leash with ease and I feel comfortable walking him off leash in public places! Today we went on a off leash 2 mile walk on some relatively busy trails with many distractions and Taco stayed right by my side the whole time. What’s even more impressive to me is that I VERY seldomly need to correct him with his new E-Collar (He’s a pretty stubborn guy). I will absolutely be bringing my 8 week old German Shepherd puppy to Chris when she grows up a little and recommend UniversityK9 to friends and family. Thanks again Chris!

My sweet baby girl, Olive is transformed. We just picked her up from being at University K9 for the two week training and she did fantastic. It was so good to see her so genuinely happy. I could tell she enjoyed her time with Chris and the rest of the crew because her tail was SWINGING! She walks like a dream now with no pulling whatsoever. I can't say enough good things are Chris, his crew, and University K9!

Updated review: While UniversityK9 helped with introducing the e-collar and basic commands, I now see they weren't the right place for my dog. My dog had a hard time listening and never walked on a leash without pulling. He is a very anxious dog in general. Craig and his team worked wonders on him. He's still learning and we practice everything every day but we wouldn't have gotten to this point without University K9.
