Audax K9 Academy is the most wonderful, compassionate, knowledgeable place you could ever want for your 4 legged best friend! Jason and Kim are amazing! Their kind and calm demeanor is exactly what you didn't know you need in you and your dogs life!
Their understanding of dogs needs and thought processes is next level!!! And their ability to teach us owners how to best work with them, in the ways they need to become the best dog they can be is extraordinary. I had no idea how little I knew about the needs of my dog/s and they have a very nice thoughtful way of teaching you. It is evident how much joy they get out of the teaching process and helping us be better dog owners. It is in everything they do!
We met our newest German Shepherd Purdie when she was 15 months old and fell in love with her laidback, playful, silly self. We thought she was going to be like our previous dogs and after a bit of an adjustment slip right into our family like she was meant to be there! When we got her home we realized quite quickly that was not the case. She was very fearful and had no self confidence. She was scared of so many things including my husband to the point of us almost making the heartbreaking decision to return to where we got her from. We didn't know if she would ever be comfortable in our house with us let alone happy with us! I spent many hours in tears not knowing what to do and how to help her! Thinking that I was going to have to give her back even though I had already fallen in love with her.
In comes the help of Jason and Kim! She did a 5 week board and train AND we were able to work with her twice a week during the board and train at the group sessions, who ever hear of such a thing? No other place that I looked into offers that! That shows their ongoing commitment to the relationship between you and your dog!
It was amazing to see the difference in her from the first to the last visit. She had changed and grown so much in that time.l with their help. She had gained so much self confidence and was having so much fun with the work and training! We still go to group classes weekly to help both her and us! Which is part of the board and train package we chose. Another thing they offer that is unique and special about Audax K9 Academy. She is more confident every day, though she is still a work in progress we work on it daily and with the continued help of Jason and Kim and I know she will continue to grow and work thru her fears.
I truly cannot thank you both enough for helping us and giving us the tools we need to help our girl now and be better dog parents for the rest of our lives. It is because of you that we got to keep our girl and know she is happy with us! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! read more
