Kai's Obedience is a really unique training program and we've had a great experience so far. The…read moreclasses are engaging and actually fun to attend, and Kai does a great job keeping everyone involved while still expecting a lot from both the dogs and their owners. What really stands out is that this isn't just basic puppy training. The program goes far beyond simple commands, and dogs can continue on to earn certifications and develop much more advanced obedience skills. Watching the more experienced dogs walk completely off leash and follow commands with total focus is incredibly impressive. Kai clearly knows what he's doing and the structure of the program helps both dogs and owners stay consistent. If you're looking for a place where your dog can truly learn strong obedience skills and keep progressing over time, Kai's Obedience is a great option.

I can't thank Deb enough for giving me the guidance to correct their behavior w/out strong/aggressive tactics. Bark Busters and Deb specifically are great. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I've used other dog trainers but have found profound issues with how they treated the owner and/or the dogs. Deb treats us all with respect.

He sits when we stop and has become very good at laying down on command. He is a joy to walk, no pulling or side trips while on the leash.
