FirstBarkI have nothing but good things to say about my 1 1/2 year old yellow labs experience with her trainer Taya. My lab had issues listening and controlling impulses, Taya did a great job of helping her with some of her anxiety and being calm in stimulating moments. My lab also greatly improved on heeling and listening to commands! I would recommend Valor K9 to anyone.

Thank you Taya and Valor K9 for such a great training experience! We completed a 6-week obedience private lesson package with trainer Taya, and couldn't be happier! Our dog Taco is full of personality and spice, and Taya helped us redirect some of that energy. He is more confident, comes when called, behaves in public spaces, and has leash manners. We will continue to use Valor K9 and trainer Taya for future lessons and future pups.

I did a 2 week Puppy Board and Train for my Siberian Husky, Luna a while back with one of the trainers and wasn’t too impressed. After finding out that the trainer that trained Luna was fired, Valor K9 reached out to me wanting to make things right. They paid for private lessons to make up for the training that Luna didn’t receive. Taya did an absolutely amazing job! Luna went from constantly talking back, no obedience or manners to a well behaved dog that I now feel comfortable taking out in public. Taya was always there to answer any questions that I had and walked through all the training step by step. After a once negative impression, I am highly impressed with Valor K9 and what the represent. I highly recommend and it is worth every penny!

We did the 3 week board and train for our dog with no regrets! Taya was our trainer and she did an incredible job. He is so well trained now! He is confident in what he has learned and things that he used to get afraid of he is not anymore. I’m am completely amazed by the way she has transformed my dog. He is still playful and fun but is obedient and polite at the same time. I couldn’t be happier with our choice to work with Taya! I’m so thankful for her!

I recently had my 3 year old lab do a Board & Train with Taya and the results have exceeded my expectations! Taya did a phenomenal job with my dog. Ellie had some bad manners that needed cleaning up plus we decided to extend training for service dog work and Ellie is doing very well with her tasks! I could have not done the training on my own. I highly recommend Valor K9 & Taya to anyone who needs help with their dog!
