The entire K9 team is absolutely amazing and clearly love our dogs as much as we do. Play time is the best time, and I always know they've had a blast because they come home completely "dog" tired (the best kind of tired!). Thank you so much for loving and caring for our fur babies like family. We're so grateful! Highly recommend!!!

We have learned so much in this process and have all progressed so much. We're still working on the strategies that were taught. And we see such an improvement. Like the previous reviewer, when Bentley ran out the front door, we were able to get him to stop before taking off for the long haul. Now with the tools we've learned, he will stop when called. Rick's approach is awesome and the dogs really respond to him (as do the people). We recommend him to everyone!

I cannot recommend Stefan highly enough!!. As a new dog owner of a high energy Doberman puppy, I…read morewas pretty (extremely) overwhelmed, but Stefan has been incredibly patient with me throughout the entire process. He is SUPER knowledgeable about dog behavior and helped me successfully navigate the hurdles of crate training. He has been extremely accommodating with my schedule and location, which made everything so much easier working full time. What stands out most is that he is always willing to help with advice even when we don't have a session planned. He is genuinely enjoyable to be around and makes the hard work of training actually fun. If you want a trainer who is as invested in your dog's success as you are, Stefan is the one to call!!

Stefan is super knowledgeable and helps us so much with our dogs training! Thank you Stefan!

Sarah took our dog Kona in for her 3-week stay and train program. Before going with Sarah, our dog…read morewould not walk well on the leash, would not listen when outside the home, and would act aggressive towards delivery people. In short, Sarah fixed all of our issues. Sarah did a fantastic job training our dog and us. While our dog was away with Sarah, she did a fantastic job of sending us updates a few times a week. Sarah's training exceeded our expectations. When working with Sarah, you can tell that she understands dogs and she describes why the dog is acting the way that it is. We would highly recommend this training!

Sarah's training with Kali has been nothing short of incredible. Kali was our "problem" child that…read morewe rescued at 8 months of age from Tijuana; she was reactive towards almost anything and everything. I was uncomfortable bringing Kali out in public for our safety, the safety of others, and simply the embarrassment of having a reactive dog. After a few short weeks with Sarah, Kali came back a different dog. She helped build Kali's confidence, structure, and her obedience is now a 10/10. We understood that in order for this to work, we would need to continue with her training at home to make sure we got the results we wanted. I bring Kali everywhere with me now; walking trails, coffee shops, parks and more. We are still learning from her interactions with other dogs but we wouldn't have been able to do this without Sarah!!

I cannot sing the praises of Michelle enough! When Monty returned from two weeks of Board and…read moreTrain with Michelle, he was a changed dog. He's not just a calmer dog, he's a CALM dog. We've had no out-of-control barking incidents; he can be tethered and remain quiet. He's very good on walks, moving from "heel" to "break" and back to "heel" again. He's very responsive to the "off" command, which we use primarily to keep him off the furniture and out of the kitchen. Last week we had friends over for dinner and after his initial excitement he was a good boy, lying nearby content and chewing on a bone. We even attended the Humane Society Walk for Animals at Kit Carson Park, and with hundreds of dogs and people and non-stop activities, he was again a very well-behaved boy. We are so appreciative of the work that Michelle did with Monty. He is now the dog we always hoped he would be - happy, well-behaved, and living his best life!

One year after Chewie's training with Cosmo K-9 Obedience, it's clear that Chewie has great respect…read morefor his trainer! The moment Chewie saw Chris, he recognized him and greeted him with such joy! Minding his manners of course. He's too smart to behave like a brat in front of his trainer. I recently reached out to Chris for advice on redirecting Chewie when greeting people since he sometimes forgets his manners and has no sense of personal space. Chris took the time to demonstrate effective techniques and offered practical solutions I'll be implementing right away. Chewie and I are incredibly grateful for Chris's continued support and the excellent training from Cosmo K-9 Obedience. Chewie has come a long way. I can't image life without the professional guidance and support from Costco K-9 Obedience.

Wow! Wanted to give a much needed update !…read more Shortly after I wrote my previous review my spouse and I decided to just push forward with training and board as our pup was completely out of control and tried snapping at a family member's hand. Our dog came back calm, orderly, and OBEDIENT! After a month long stay and many many wonderful updates multiple times per week we are confident he has made at least a 90% improvement on his bad behaviors and is able to calmly behave not only around us but his reactivity to other dogs has made a tremendous improvement. Shannon and Sierra are STELLAR! I'd also like to mention they did a home drop off for us (since I'm still heavily pregnant) and spent over an HOUR with my husband and I going over all of the new things he has learned + even took a walk with us in the neighborhood to address another issue we had with reactivity. We were left with a sheet of all his new & enforced behaviors to keep track of along with super chewer toys and treats. Excellent, excellent, excellent experience with this team and I highly recommend anyone who needs this service to pull the trigger and go for it! You will not regret your decision!

When we first got Carl, he was extremely reactive, untrained, and could be aggressive in ways that…read moregenuinely scared me. I loved him immediately, but I felt overwhelmed and unsure how to help him. He had big emotions, big triggers, and no tools to cope with them, and I knew I needed someone experienced and compassionate to guide us. From the very first session, Lana took the time to understand both Carl and me--my concerns, my fears, and my hopes for him. She created a thoughtful and personalized plan that focused on helping Carl feel safe, supported, and more regulated. She also taught me how to read his signals, how to approach training with confidence, and how to create a calmer environment at home. Because of Lana's patience, expertise, and consistency, Carl has made incredible progress. The dog who once felt unpredictable and reactive now shows his sweet, loving, goofy side more and more each day. I'm so grateful for her guidance and would recommend Lana to anyone--especially those who feel scared or overwhelmed and want to help their dog become the best version of themselves.

I took my dog for a walk today when he suddenly stopped and became very alert. He kept glancing…read morebetween me and something ahead, refusing to move forward. That's when I saw it--a baby rattlesnake right in front of us. It hadn't moved yet, but my dog had already sensed it. This is exactly the kind of response he learned during his training with Dustin. As soon as the rattler started to rattle, my dog immediately turned and pulled me away from the danger. Without that training, this situation could have ended very differently. The snake was nearly invisible among the shrubs and rocks on the trail. I'm incredibly grateful for the training--it truly made all the difference today. Dustin's training is truly top-notch--absolutely deserving of 5 stars! I'll definitely be coming back. His rattlesnake avoidance training is as real and effective as it gets. Dustin's professionalism, knowledge, and calm demeanor set him apart. He doesn't just train dogs--he teaches them life-saving skills.
