It's such great exercise for her and I love it when I can tell her that she's "going to "see her friends". She hears that and runs to the window to wait for him to pick her up and take her on the adventure of a lifetime. She always comes home exhausted and sleeps the entire day afterwards. To top it off, Clayton himself is just the greatest. He's one of my favorite humans! I'm so grateful for him and so is Lucy! I highly recommend contacting him to see if he's available to pick up your pup and go for a run or join the group!

In a moment of desperation I signed the wow-wow up for obedience boot camp with K-9 Connection. After one class with Kelly I realized we had gone all wrong training our first dog. This place has a major emphasis on positive reinforcement. Novel idea training your dog to love his name regardless of how it's said. Our former dog was trained in Boston with an emphasis on tone. Positive tone = good dog, negative tone = bad dog. Yelling for our dogs to come produces completely different results. Each week is progressively structured, building on the previous. Classes are around $25/hour and follow the same general formula: *discuss issues *practice previous learnings *show new *practice new *play with your pooch *show new *practice new *obstacle course fun time The facility is a large open space with two different pens so classes can run simultaneously. The front of the house is excellent at responding to emails and following up with placement and scheduling. We are ready for the next round.

He was in desperate need of "polite in public" training which caused me great stress on walks. He has completely overcome his issues of lunging at people and demand barking.

They also trained me how to train him. It's a great program. The staff was very professional and helpful. Big shoutout to Kathryn and Kerri who had great patience with my little pup!

In trying to cancel the upcoming meeting, not training, one male owner was very rude to me and is charging me 10% cancellation fee ($195) claiming there were expenses crediting my card. Outright lie.

I decided to go forward with the classes and he said I had to do a new contract and still pay the 195. I did not. Kind of a stupid way to treat people. Credit card company said fee was "excessive".

I absolutely recommend Solid K9 Training for anybody who would like to have real communication with…read moretheir dog. When I sent my rescue dog into Solid K9 he was nervous and fearful to a debilitating level. He was great with people, great with dogs, but absolutely horrible with modern technology. The sound of a car door shutting would send him scrambling for the hills. After three weeks in the Board & Train program, his confidence had skyrocketed. He is still a naturally nervous dog, but the team at Solid K9 gave him a base level of confidence which I could simply never have provided him in a very short amount of time. They gave us the tools to work together and communicate. I recently went on vacation and dropped my dog off at the board and play program for the first time since his training. I figured my dog would obviously be nervous and bummed to leave me, but the second he saw the trainers his tail started blasting back and forth like a windshield wiper and he completely forgot who I was. He ran off into the kennel area without even saying goodbye. After that performance my vacation was 100% guilt-free. If you need better communication with your dog, don't hesitate to go with the team at Solid K9.

From their website: In Latin, the gladio is the sword. It was the sword that protected Caesar and defended Rome, and like the sword, the canine has also historically been by man's side not only as his companion but as his protector. Our history with domesticated dogs dates back at least 14,000 years, and to this day dogs have become an integral part of our day to day lives throughout society. Whether it is the family Shih Tzu curled up on our lap, the mixed breed rescue dog that goes on jogs with us, or the K9 unit German Shepherd sniffing out IEDs, our lives as we know them would be vastly different without man's best friend by our side. Owner and trainer Gerald Famiglietti has had a love and passion for dogs his entire life. After graduating with a bachelors degree in International Relations with an intense interest in security and foreign policy, he shifted his focus to one of the indispensable aspects of the day to day security that we take for granted- the role played by our four legged friends who protect our men and women in uniform and sniff out threats in the form of explosives, firearms, and narcotics. After receiving the dog trainer's certification by Animal Behavior College, he spent additional time learning to train police K9s and personal protection dogs at Tarheel Canine in Sanford, North Carolina

I called Ruffin Wranglers bc a friend of mine had used them in the past and only left bc she moved out of the area they serviced. The concept is completely different than any other doggie daycare I know. They come to your home, you have a choice of various time slots, they have a key to your home, and they pull up in a Honda Element with the other dogs in the area they have picked up. Your dog then gets to leave the house for about 2 and a half/ 3 hours to run around in beautiful fields with a lot of other happy pups. The staff encourages your dog to play and get lots of exercise in this timeframe that they need a day or two of sleeping to recoup. I am amazed at the transition my dog has had, she is 11 years old and has the onset of arthritis which caused her leg to shake a little in the past. She is now at the slimmest I have seen her and her leg no longer shakes. This constant exercise has done wonders for her. I can't say enough about how easy it is to work with them, they pick up your dog a minimum of 2 days a week, take her out, feed her when she gets home, and all while I am at work.
