Urban K-9 Dog Training

Absolutely love working with Dani and Lulu. Our Doberman puppy, Tiny, is so obsessed with them too. We have done lessons with both trainers and Tiny has done board and train with Dani for 3 weeks and it was amazing- she came back such a well-mannered pup at just 5 months old. Dani was extremely accommodating when arranging for Tiny's boarding which made it significantly less stressful to make preparations. Dani provided daily updates with photos of how Tiny was coming along as well. Overall, an amazing experience, absolutely recommend for anyone looking for training, board and train, or both.

Lulu was absolutely incredible in helping us with Charlie’s separation anxiety. From day one, she was straightforward, honest, and clear about what we needed to work on, which I truly appreciated. She didn’t sugarcoat things, and she was always patient and supportive throughout the entire process. Her knowledge and expertise were obvious in every session. She explained the “why” behind everything we were doing, which gave me so much confidence and clarity. Thanks to Lulu’s guidance, Charlie has made HUGE progress, and I feel so much more equipped going forward to help her gain more confidence. If you’re dealing with separation anxiety (or any training challenges), I can’t recommend Lulu enough. She’s the best!

We called Dani in late April 2025 when my heeler-mix puppy was 12 weeks old and I was seriously in the weeds. Even before we officially started working together, Dani was generous with tips and advice — and I felt hopeful for the first time that I hadn’t totally upended my life with a puppy. Once we began training in May, Dani was consistently kind and encouraging with both us and our dog. She’s great with the dog, and she’s an incredible teacher for the humans in the equation. If you’re able to do the work, she makes “homework” feel doable and empowering. And if life gets busy, she’ll still help remediate the behaviors you want to change and show you how to prevent them going forward. Dani is experienced and meets you where you are, using tools you’re comfortable with. Her approach is compassionate, grounded, and rooted in love and positive reinforcement — I have no doubt she’s seen it all and can manage any issue. She’s the most centered and reasonable dog professional I’ve met. After meeting other trainers on her team, I can also say she runs a tight ship; I’d trust any of them. Dani is responsive whenever I reach out, flexible with scheduling, and clear about timing. She’s helped me create safe, creative experiences to socialize my dog. Boarding with Dani has been a lifesaver for our family — I know my dog is cared for in a home with real love and attention. Dani even sends adorable video updates, and my dog is always happy. Dani is clear, direct, flexible, and psychologically aware of both canine and human behavior. With her guidance and demonstrations, I’m much more confident setting boundaries and teaching my dog what I want. I now have a reliable, adorable companion. We’re incredibly grateful we found Dani. I recommend UrbanK-9 without hesitation. It feels so good to be proud of my dog!
