    Here he is my Tucker boy
    Steven E.

    I originally picked Atlantic canine training based on their reviews, and I really enjoyed talking to Kathleen she was very positive and upbeat. When I first brought my dog to the training facility for the Boot Camp program they said the first week he was not the type of dog that could do be a service dog. But they soon change their mind on the second week he's very intelligent sometimes a little stubborn but he is the perfect perfect gentleman now. At first I did one single lesson with Jenny. I could not get my dog to walk on a leash he was always on guard to make sure I was protected. Jenny was absolutely amazing and one hour my dog was trained to walk on a leash. I was leery of the prong collar at first thinking it would really hurt my baby boy but it's really nothing more than a reminder as his mother would give him. I don't know where to start with Ari. I have never met anyone so knowledgeable about dogs than her. She is super amazing and super nice she treated my dog as if it was her own. She knew that my dog was an Emotional support animal. I wanted him to be my service animal for my mental disabilities he helps me tremendously. I had a follow up lesson with her and we did every command that she had taught us and Tucker. Like before I was leery of the E collar burning my babies neck. She went over the whole thing . we found my dogs threshold for training. My wife and I both felt the so-called shock that comes out of the collar. To tell you the truth we didn't feel anything at all even on the highest threshold. The type of dog I have is a corgi and a pug mix his name is Tucker. I think that he is now the most amazing dog in the world. Soon we are going for our GCT. I can't wait. The next time we need training or even boarding or even a one day play date that is the place I am going. I wish I could give them 1 million stars. Thank you so much Steve

    My dog began behaving aggressively about the time she turned 2. She was a rescue and I do not know much about her history before she came to us at 6 months. I was worried I'd have to keep my dog muzzled and always on a leash because of her behavior which was scaring me and the runners and cyclists she had begun trying to chase and terrify. She has an extremely high energy level and needs to run wild in the woods or beach every day to be happy and good. Anyway I had heard about Kathleen and Atlantic K9 training through two local dog friends and I signed my dog up for 2 weeks of bootcamp with Kathleen. My husband was nervous and upset because of the thought of negative reinforcement scared him. Long story short my dog came home after two weeks happy and under my voice control (after my lesson with Kathleen) . I can walk her easily on leash now and I can let her run free with me keeping her close and under voice control now. I can't tell you how good and friendly she now behaves towards strangers when I'm out and about with her. Kathleen and her trainers saved our dog from a very different kind of life than the one she has now. Thank you Kathleen!

    Beautiful grounds and incredibly professional and knowledgeable trainers. They took our crazy, quirky pandemic puppy and taught her how to listen. And they did so without taking away her quirkiness. They trained Vivi, and they also trained us, which is key. Can't recommend them enough.

    I cannot begin to describe what a rewarding (and fascinating) experience this was for our family…read more We have a 108 lb. "adolescent" Lab/Mastiff rescue who just became too hard for us to manage safely. Sarah gave us the tools and coaching we needed so that we can now once again walk Finn in public, have people come to the door and enter our house without issues, and take Finn to the vet without problems. I can work remotely in peace! I say "rewarding" because at our weekly training sessions it was amazing to see what Finn could do once properly trained and more importantly, how much he wanted to succeed. Above and beyond, we enjoy being with Finn again and I think that he's a happier pup as well . I highly recommend Dog Coach for anyone who is struggling with issues with their pup. I only wish we had started training before it became a problem. Thanks, Sarah, for all your help! I know you are as proud of Finn as we are!

    Sarah started working with us and our Greater Swiss Mountain dog pup when he was 3 months and…read moregaining 5 lbs a week (FYI this breed will weigh in at 150 lbs full grown). So we needed to get him under control and fast. After only 3 sessions with Sarah our pup is a model citizen. It's to the point that we can take him anywhere and he just sits by our side patiently waiting for us to lead the way. He's about 6 months now and i never thought he'd be this well behaved. I can even leave a bag of treats at nose level, OPENED and he wont touch them. Calling her was the best thing we did...besides getting our puppy of course :-)

    I'm sharing my experience to protect other pet owners…read more I boarded my dog, Paisley, and what followed was one of the most distressing experiences I've ever had. On the day of drop-off, I spoke with the owner multiple times that morning and personally dropped Paisley off. Three hours later, I received a call from the owner asking when I planned to drop my dog off--despite her already being in their care. The panic and fear I felt in that moment is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. When Paisley was sent home, she was injured. The details of the injury and the condition she returned in made it clear she had not received proper care. When I attempted to get answers, it took four days for anyone to return my call. When the owner finally responded, the explanation I was given did not align with the timeline or the facts, and I was also given statements that were later contradicted. This was not just a breakdown in communication--it was a failure of care that resulted in my dog being hurt, and then a failure to take accountability for it. I trusted this business with my dog's safety and well-being. That trust was broken. I am not writing this out of anger, but out of concern for the safety of other animals and the transparency of this business. If you are considering boarding your pet here, I strongly encourage you to ask detailed questions about supervision, documentation, and incident reporting. Every pet deserves safety, honesty, and proper care. Unfortunately, that was not the experience we received. - Alisha

Gemma is a 1 year old high energy puppy whom loves to play all day and Bela is a senior lady who would rather nap in the AC. They both seem to absolutely love it there. Kim truly cares for the dogs as if they were her own and she is doing everything possible to make this a wonderful little doggy heaven. There are new improvements each time we go. I feel safe knowing that my dogs have the attention and love they need and it's awesome to be able to watch the dogs play out in the yards.

    I cannot express how grateful I am to have found Nikki's Kinetic K9 Training. I was having a really…read morehard time with my puppy who was starting to show some reactive tendencies, especially around other dogs. I reached out to Nikki's K9 training in a moment of desperation and could not be more glad that I did! Nikki totally renewed my love for my dog and has set my dog up for success at home and in stressful environments. After the first session with Nikki, I had a whole new dog! My puppy was calmer, able walk politely on a leash, knew how to look for leadership, and follow training directions overall. I worked with 3 other trainers (private and group sessions) and a dog socialization program without any progress before I met Nikki. Nikki's program and approach is the only thing that has made a difference in my dog's behavior. On top of the training, Nikki has a wealth of knowledge in canine health and nutrition. She helped design a feeding plan for my puppy that was customized to his breed and size. Nikki has been able to answer every question I've had related to dog ownership with expertise and compassion. Most of all, I appreciate how Nikki really understands my dogs needs. She does not try to train away what makes my puppy special. Instead, she customizes her approach to align the the dog's overall motivation which makes for a much happier puppy! 1,000,000/10

We were blessed enough to work with Nikki, and I am happy to say our dog Saffie is a very different dog. We were able to build her confidence up working with Nikki and her amazing doggie partner Koda. We now have her crate trained and off leash trained! She still doesn't like other dogs or new people, but she's much less reactive now than she was before training with Nikki. If you have a dog that needs a lot of help, or a dog that just needs some fine tuning, then Nikki is your answer. Thanks Nikki, and thanks Koda!
