Our dogs Bertie and Lyle trained with EJ for two weeks in June and July and learned a tremendous amount. It is such a pleasure to walk with them now, and they are a pleasure to be around. Thank you so much for your fantastic work with them! We highly recommend Complete K9 Training. read more

After years of having dogs--including a spirited bull terrier--we thought we were ready for the chaos of two new puppies. Turns out, we were in for a wild ride! It quickly became clear we needed expert guidance, and we're so glad we took a leap of faith with Heidi and Complete K9 Training. I truly can't recommend them enough. Heidi's approach gave our whole family the tools and confidence to handle these adorable bundles of energy and stubbornness. Our girls now know all their commands, and we reinforce them with just 10 minutes of daily practice. The transformation has been incredible--and we feel so much more equipped to raise well-behaved, happy pups. read more

We just picked up our 4-month-old golden retriever puppy and man did he need some manner and obedience training. We both work full time and just didn't have the free time to teach him the basic manners of sitting, down, stay, walking on a leash, heel, etc. I found CK9 by doing some online research and reading all of the great reviews. We could not be happier! EJ trained Odin and really nailed his personality and how to deal with him. He likes to dominate, he is not aggressive, he just thinks he's a prince! It's hilarious really. The training really toned down his dominant attitude without changing his personality. He is still a goofball puppy, but now he is controllable and has manners. Now the work to keep him up to speed on his training. And we will. We could not recommend CK9 enough. It's family owned, and they have the perfect home and acreage to train dogs. read more

I just brought home my 2 German Shepherd pups from spending 12 days with Complete K9 Training. They are 6 month old rescued sisters and had full run of my home. EJ was their trainer and the difference in these pups is so hard to describe. The moment I welcomed them into my home, there was a noticeable difference. They are still my funny pups but better mannered. They actually watch to see if I am going to let them get away with behaviors they know are not allowed. They are so pleasant to be around. I highly recommend Complete K9 Training. You wont be disappointed. read more

It's been almost four years since we've done our dog training with Heidi. We have a very independent Australian cattle dog and a clingy lab-shepherd mix. To this day, our dogs still obey their commands even in public when they are really put to the test. When people walk by they subtly say, "Such well behaved dogs" even if they have their own pups. The best way to make the most of this training is to practice at home when the training is "over" with Heidi. If you don't practice, your dogs will start to gain the advantage. But as I said, four years post-training, and they still listen. CK9TRAINING was well worth the investment and bonding for our family. read more

Heidi and her husband are amazing and are very nice and don't make you feel like you've done anything wrong if your dog may not be the best. I have a 2 1/2 year old Belgian Malinois. If you know the breed, by instinct we are talking too smart, a lot of energy, high drive, and protective by nature. It has been a year since Zoey went to training and she is still so great! Before training she was a terror to walk, pulling and barking aggressively at other dogs or people if they came too close. She did not listen to commands, she knew them all but wouldn't be obedient. She was the dog at training class that got the gold star and A+ and then came home and was like I'm the boss not you. Now enter Heidi. She talked to me multiple times on the phone about training, the layout of the facility and calmed any fears I had about letting my dog go. The facility is amazing and clean and very secure! Zoey has kept almost all of her commands and manners (we lost the sit stay and throw a ball past, that drive!) The manners are great and walking Zoey is amazing now. After all the training she still had her spunky personality so don't be afraid of that. I will bring my future dogs here every time! read more

During quarantine, with all that spare time and having everyone home, we decided it was time to adopt a new puppy (our old, perfect dog had passed at 14 years, last October). So... we adopted an adorable little mutt named Mocha. Well... Instead of a sweet Mocha, this girl was more of a bold, robust, energetic Espresso. The kind that really knocks you down! Her personality was ALL boss. As in... "I'M THE BOSS OF EVERYONE IN THIS HOUSE." She would jump, bite, and bark at everyone. I had been working on her training myself, but I didn't feel like it was working out (she was SUCH a bossy brat, this dog). Since I own a home daycare and have toddlers in my house all the time, I knew it was imperative that I have a dog that follows commands and has manners. Enter EJ and Heidi. From the start, they made the entire process easy (except being away from her for two weeks!). The weekly report cards were great and when I saw, in black and white, that a professional agreed that Mocha just has a bossy personality and can be a bit of a brat (SHE THROWS ACTUAL TANTRUMS!), I have to say I felt a little vindicated. I was thinking I was just a terrible dog person (this is only partially true... I WAS babying her too much and realized when you give this dog an inch, she takes seventy-five miles). The first day back was a little emotional and rough, but the change in her has been pretty miraculous. She's still a cheeky little puppy (she's only 5 months!) and she's definitely still got that bossy streak, but she's no longer jumping and she's so used to the crate she just goes right in. She's just more settled. I *know* that if we keep doing the ten minutes a day of training, and we keep reminding her that she's NOT the boss, she'll grow into a fantastic companion dog. Thank you so much, Heidi and EJ! Especially for making me realize I can LOVE her WITHOUT spoiling her! read more

We took our dog to CK9 training and couldn't be happier with their services. We met and had our consultation, Heidi could not have been more welcoming and understanding of what I wanted with training. I did interview other training facilities, but choose CK9. They train in their home "real life" as opposed to a static commercial building. During his visit their we did receive report cards on the status of his training. This was very nice to receive, we missed our dog and it was nice to hear about how he was doing. During our pick up EJ could not have been any nicer. He took the time (2+hrs) to tell us about our dogs progression. Taught us the commands and the proper techniques in giving commands or corrections. Then it was time to see our Kobe! EJ would show us the commands with Kobe, and then would have us do the commands. If something was done wrong on our part, he would correct us till he felt confident in our command giving. After getting home with Kobe, we could tell a huge improvement. Not chasing our cats as he had done before training. He would just look at them. Yes, we still have to work with him everyday for a short period each day. But, the foundation CK9 has built is amazing and will be easy for us to built upon that foundation. I would highly recommend anyone that wants a well trained dog to CK9. Super pleases and would very appreciative of the gift they have given our family, a well trained dog. read more

Our family decided to get another Golden Retriever puppy to help our 8 year old dog stay active and healthy. What we did not realize is that welcoming JIRO, the 8 week old puppy, would be a TON of work for the WHOLE family! Jiro's main problem is food obsession - the incessant whining and barking coupled with jumping to get to his food. We tried everything to calm him in his witching hours but our efforts failed. He was very demanding that crating him at this time was just impossible. Jiro also could not contain his excitement when playing or when meeting new people. We worried a lot for our senior dog who had spinal pinched nerve from playing with this hyperactive puppy. The other dog's tail instantly became Jiro's favorite chew toy that we had to separate or supervise them more. Watching them play made us nervous wrecks! Our every trip to the vet was an embarrassing scene where Jiro was too wiggly for his shots and he peed on everyone. Finding CK9Training gave us hope! Since they are a family, who have dogs of their own and also seemed established in this business, trusting them with Jiro to learn house manners made perfect sense. Heidi, owner and trainer, was super accommodating and professional. She offered great advices and resources that helped us overcome most of the challenges and endure the wait until Jiro was old enough to receive all required vaccines for training. EJ, owner and Jiro's trainer, was one miracle worker! We would not have gotten close to what he accomplished in only two weeks with Jiro, WOW!! EJ did an awesome job transforming Jiro from a rambunctious willful little Tazmanian devil to this well-mannered, obedient and happy puppy. All of Jiro's issues were resolved without losing Jiro's many endearing qualities. To us, this means CK9Training applied the right amount of discipline and affection which we truly appreciated! More than that, they took the time to know our specific problems and situation, and have customized the obedience commands so we can be consistent with our trained older dog as well. EJ's detailed reports of Jiro's progress gave us confidence that they were tailoring Jiro's training to suit Jiro's personality and our needs without compromising their program. They helped us prepare for when we bring Jiro home. Both Heidi and EJ are so kind and extremely helpful. The consultation, check-in and check-out all went smoothly. They are very organized and responsible. They seemed to have really thought out and planned the process. No time wasted and every information valuable; in fact, their forms also reflect they are serious about the dog's success. Our older dog Rumple approves the fun and better Jiro! We are so excited that Jiro knows everything now and it is up to our family to maintain his excellent behavior. We will definitely use all the tools, resources and guidance CK9Training provided. We are SOOO glad to have found them! Thank you very much to the Ramos family! We look forward to reporting back to you on Jiro's progress. read more

All I can say is, I have a completely new dog in all the best ways! WOW. I had struggled to train my little maltipoo, Chip, for about a year and a half. He was always very smart, but VERY defiant. I went through multiple private trainers to help him with on-leash walking, potty training, etc., but nothing worked to correct his defiant behavior. I was hesitant to try Complete K9 because I had already spent so much money on other training that hadn't helped, but I'm so glad I did. It's worth every penny. I almost cried when I saw what Chip had learned in just 2 weeks with Heidi, and how well behaved he was. It's been 3 months since we brought Chip back from training and he's still doing great! Still knows all the commands, listens to me when I give them. He finally walks next to me on (or off) leash where ever I go. And best of all he maintained his super friendly and spunky spirit. He's not a robot, he just listens now. I can't say enough good things about Heidi and her process. The facility is super clean and well maintained. The whole drop-off and pick-up was easy and efficient. 10/10. Money well spent. I wish I would have done it sooner! read more

I had a nine month old American Rottweiler that was becoming hard to manage. Heidi kicked it to me straight with the background of the breed and the difficulties that may ensue once he gets older. Heidi was honest with her opinions pre-training and did not present with any false promises. Thor went to training and Heidi kept me updated on his progress and how she remained optimistic about his behaviors. I learned quite a bit at Thor's exit date. Heidi provided a booklet to keep me reminded of the training Thor received and what I needed to maintain as his owner. She again maintained the honesty in regards to his breed in providing information that is pertinent regarding his potential behaviors. Thor has been home for a week now and we have diligently maintained the training he received from Heidi. read more

I found Complete K9 Training when I was Googling for a trainer. My dog is a small dog, but has shown some aggressive behavior and I knew getting a trainer was my last resort. I knew I was on the right track when I reached out to Heidi on the phone to inquire about her services. Her calming voice and very experienced, knowledgeable insight was very comforting to know that there was help for our situation. I decided to sign up my dog immediately for her 12 night program. The program is very specific and CK9 has a lot of communication during the time our dog was with them. Videos were sent during his training and we were so impressed with what we could see. Pick-up was the most important part of training, as that is where our (my husband and I's) training came into play. I felt well-equipped after we left and our dog has been so AMAZING with his new training. He's not perfect, but my husband and I are just thrilled that he understands our commands and follows through. We certainly recommend CK9 to anyone who needs training for their fur babies. The on-going support from them is also such a nice insurance for us as well. read more

After a lot of hand wringing how to best train the newest member of the family we settled on Heidi and EJ to get a handle on our "dark passenger." From nipping at our young boys to being "taken" for a nightly walk, our 6 month old male boxer was out of control. Heidi has a very calm but firm demeanor and she is not shy about about being very generous with affection, provided your furry friend lives up to his/her end (i.e., obedience). We were "trained" at the end of his two week stay, which was very enlightening. Heidi provided us with the tools to maintain his obedience training as well as being very prompt with help when little behavioral issues pop up. Having been through several dogs and many trainers to this point I cannot recommend Complete K9 training enough! Very professional and the training/obedience skills our dog received was phenomenal. Thank you, Heidi! read more

Hello, I found Heidi on yelp after an extensive search for training for our 6 month old puppy. Josie is a German Sheppard and started showing signs of aggression. The bigger she got I felt like I was loosing control of her and not knowing how to handle it started to scare me. I have two girls under 5 and going anywhere with Josie was very stressful. I felt like I couldn't give my puppy what she needed because I was starting to get nervous. So I contacted Heidi and she was so great! Words cannot express, after picking up Josie she is so much better. Training her and knowing what to expect is 100% satisfying for both Josie and I. The picture is her in a sit command while I took a picture of her. She held it for 1 min. We were so proud. Her aggression is still there but knowing how to fix it she reacts so much better. She's a puppy and knowing her anxiety and protectiveness towards her family is something we will have to deal with. At least we know we can get to a goal of her being ok when I say to be ok. Our walks are 100 % better, she's does not pull at all. If she gets ahead of me we correct her and she comes right back in heel position. I just want to say, Heidi was the best decision my husband and I ever made for Josie and us. Thank you Heidi we greatly appreciate you, your business, your love for dogs and helping us immensely! read more

Our family is so thankful we stumbled across Complete K9 Training. EJ & Heidi were awesome! We got two labrador retriever puppies last December and tried the whole positive reinforcement training. The reality was if we didn't have food or treats, we had no control over our two pups. We recently moved to Dallas from San Diego and were at our last straw with the pups. We even gave serious consideration to re-homing one of them, thinking maybe we could not handle the dogs. We finally decided to enroll our two pups in Complete K9 Training, and it was the best investment ever. Our pups are like whole new dogs. After the two-week crash course, our puppies no longer tug while walking. They sit, stay, come, and are obedient beyond our dreams. They are like little angels now. Thank you, EJ & Heidi! read more

Thanks to our friends Ed and Norman who recommended this amazing Husband & Wife duo. We have a totally different baby girl when she returned. As they taught us, it's all about the re-enforcement of what we learned and it totally worked. In just 12 days, we saw a different baby girl then what we were use to and we love it. With hard work on our family's part and the tools that these amazing trainers have given us, I believe we will be successful. When you love someone as much as we love our family pet, the cost was no object and we feel it was totally worth it. Petsmart training, treats, shock collars and clickers have nothing on these trainers. I would definitely recommend this couple to anyone who wants to get their kiddos in line and obedient. Also, I would definitely return if I have another pet to train. read more

This is the best place ever!!! I took my 7 month old Newfoundland there for a 2 week boarding camp and it was probably the best thing that I have ever done for my puppy. He's a giant dog and I gotta make sure that he's controlled because I don't want him scaring people. When I got him back he's like a new puppy, there's a few more things that we will work together with but he can sit, down, stay, heel, come, place, door crash, and a release word for all commands! In just 2 weeks he learned all these! I am sooo happy with their training!!! Thank you so much Heidi!!!! read more

Complete K9 Training - Happily in place command - Pet Training Near Me

I sent my Shiba here a few weeks ago when he was old enough to attend, and I'm so glad I did! Before he wasn't too bad but it was hard to get his attention, and teach him anything without him being so focused on the treats instead of the commands. Even when he wasn't old enough to attend, I was still able to get some help from Heidi. That helped manage his behavior a bit before he attended training. After training he was still the goofy and friendly guy he was before, but now he also knows the basic commands without having to get his attention with treats. I thought about group training, but considering the circumstances I wanted to be safe about it and decided boarding school would be a better option. The check in and check out appointments are one-on-one so there's no worries about anyone being close to each other or too many people in one room. read more

My family is thrilled with the excellent training our 5 month old American Eskimo puppies received from Heidi at Complete K9 Training. Before they went to training, they were running wild and making life very difficult. They jumped all over us, barked at everything, pulled us on walks, and acted super crazy. We had them living in the kitchen and they were behind a baby gate. While in the kitchen, they ate big parts of our floor baseboards, and they ate their beds and pee pads. When they came home from training with Heidi, they had been crate trained. They will walk into their crates for bedtime and when we leave the house during the day. We can go on pleasant and enjoyable walks with them. They will sit, lay down, stay on their place (bed), and not run out the front door. They still have the same personalities, but are much calmer and happier. They are now much more polite and make daily like enjoyable. Heidi also gave us a manual of what to do once we got home with them. They have been home for over a month and are still doing great. I give Heidi and Complete K9 Training a 10/10! Thank you Heidi! read more

I can not recommend Complete K9 training enough! EJ and Heidi are AMAZING! They are knowledgeable, strong communicators and so easy to work with. The home/training facility is immaculate, structured and well appointed for training. I received weekly progress reports and photos/videos. The training on pick up day for my family was invaluable. EJ spent two hours with us showing us how to maintain all the work. Our precious, Marigold AKA Maggie, was trained beautifully and remains her happy self. I actually think she is more confidant and well adjusted after her training. Don't hesitate to send your dogs to training with EJ and Heidi. I promise you will be grateful for their services and your well behaved dog. read more

I cannot express how much Heidi and EJ did for my idiots! ( my loving expression for my 3 Great Pyrenees and German Shepherd mix) I have had so many issues including their strength that has pulled me down and injuring myself. They laid the foundation and I have continued on with their training daily. Each day they improve more and more with me. I no longer dread putting them on a leash and waking them. I stay standing now. Heidi and EJ treat them with love and understanding for each of their needs. I encourage you to check out their website and instagram. My idiots are proof that their training was well worth it! read more

Absolutely incredible! If you are desperately in need of help with your dog, we couldn't recommend Heidi and Complete K9 Training any more! We scheduled our 2-year old Vizsla for training, after months of treat-based training elsewhere that was getting us nowhere. His results are incredible still weeks after working with Heidi. Before Training: - Walks were chaotic with Vinny looking "excited or energetic," but really he was exhibiting a massive amount of anxiety. Walking him left us exhausted, embarrassed and distressed. - Car behavior was terrible - he would cry, whine and bark frantically. Heidi thought this might be a symptom of his anxiety that would go away with the training regime and she was entirely correct. - We were constantly living in a stressed environment - Vinny's anxious behavior was adding a lot of negativity to our daily lives. After Training: - Completely CALM walks with Vinny right next to us and loose leash - this was a dream result for us! It is so clear that he is so much happier and no longer stressed out. - Again, completely CALMNESS in the car. Our boy now knows we are the leaders and he trusts that he can sit back and relax now. - The bonding experience we have had following the training has been incredible. Vinny is SO much happier - he now plays at home more than we have ever seen - his sweet, playful and silly personality has not changed at all. We are able to give him all the positive affirmation and he deserves. Affection between us all is through the roof. THANK YOU to Complete K9 Training! read more

I originally heard about ck9 training from a random fellow labradoodle owner on larchmont street. Her pup was so well trained compared to my wild 8 month old pup, Wilshire. I was convinced then and there and sent him away to the program for 2 weeks. He just finished this past Saturday and it's been a wonder having him at home. On day 2 of being home, he is forgetting some commands, but we are giving him some time to get used to being back again and training him consistently as Heidi, the main trainer at CK9, instructed us. Wilshire is now a pup who my mom can walk because he doesn't pull on the leash and whom I can cuddle with because he doesn't nip or get dominant. In addition, he has so many tricks up his sleeves that makes going out with him so easy. As for the process and the team, Heidi was excellent. I have no kinder words to say than I can't think of anyone else I'd trust my pup with. She listened to our concerns, delivered on her promises, and cared for Wilshire deeply! Plus, while he was away, we got weekly progress reports that were detailed and gave us a good picture of where he was at! She also sends you a video of her working with Wilshire so that we can do the same at home. Everything about her work, the responses, and the program were stellar and professional. If you are looking for a place for training your pup, go to Heidi! read more

I have held off writing this much needed and deserved review to be able to provide some insight on what to expect after the training is complete. First let me start by saying the Heidi is amazing from beginning to end. I corresponded with Heidi for a few months before I decided to go ahead and schedule the training for our pup. When we arrived to drop Sierra, Heidi was very welcoming and provided us a complete overview of the training Sierra would receive, the in-house dog kennel facilities, and the training area. I felt very comfortable leaving Sierra in the care of Heidi for the next two weeks. I took my 9-month Siberian Husky, Sierra, to Heidi in October and all I can say is WOW! Sierra was well behaved prior to the training but wanted to get her to the point of understanding and obeying additional commands. When we received the week 1 update I was amazed at how well Sierra was doing; while she was only half way through her training she was doing very well. Due to a family emergency we had to adjust our pick-up time and Heidi went out of her way to help accommodate us and make sure we were taken care of. When it was time to pick up Sierra, Heidi was very through in her review of the material she was giving us, the training commands Sierra learned and showed us the video of Sierra's training. Heidi took the time to show me, my wife and our friend all the commands that Sierra was trained on and took the time to make sure all three of us were comfortable using the commands with Sierra and that the humans were trained as well as Sierra was. Now two months later I am happy to report that Sierra is still doing amazing. She is very proficient with her commands still, responds well to the correction and you can tell she just wants to do well and make us happy! I am very happy with the results so far and I would recommend Heidi and CK9 Training to all my friends. Any new dog we get from here on out will spend time with CK9 Training! Thank you to Heidi and EJ for their amazing work. read more

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Heidi and EJ! We brought our 2 dogs to be trained by them. We have 2 german shepherds, 2yr female and 3yr male. We initially did some private lessons + group classes with a different trainer/company who used treat based training methods. We honestly feel like we wasted our time and money on this type of training because we got very little improvement after 10+ sessions. Our female GSD was very leash aggressive towards any dog and our male shepherd would kind of join in any time she would have an outburst, which is not something he ever did before we adopted her. It was impossible to walk them and we could never walk them together at the same time. It was embarrassing and frustrating to take them anywhere. They were angels at home and liked other dogs but anytime a leash was involved, they were completely different dogs. My female GSD would lunge, bark, whine, bite our leash, and just completely lose it when she would see another dog out on a walk. We could not control her or even get her attention off the other dog. We were getting nowhere with the treat based training and we were getting very discouraged with the whole process. We were desperate. I found Heidi and EJ through Yelp after a friend suggested we do a board and train. After my dogs completed their 2 weeks of training I was amazed at what I saw. They could both walk on a leash, together, around other dogs without having major outbursts. And when they did get excited or we could sense they might act out, we were able to successfully correct the behavior to where it didn't escalate to an uncontrollable situation. This was months ago, and my dogs are still really well behaved on their leashes. I get compliments on how well they walk. I no longer feel out of control or embarrassed when I take them anywhere. It's still something that we have to work on daily but we went from feeling hopeless, embarrassed and frustrated to feeling hopeful and confident and in control of my dogs. If you are on the fence about their board and training, absolutely do it! I really wish we would have done this a lot sooner and skipped the group classes/private training altogether. 100% worth the money. read more

Heidi is the consummate professional. She is THE dog whisperer in her field . I brought her my little French bulldog rescue who was unable to follow any commands of any kind. I was beside myself since positive reinforcement training with treats were not working whatsoever . In 2 very short weeks , Heidi completely turned my 8 month Frenchie into a well behaved happy dog that enjoys going on walks , listens to me and overall has been transformed into the dog of my dreams . My Frenchie and I work together to maintain Heidi's training for about 15 minutes a day - this is very important as it helps maintain consistent behavioral traits . I would 101% recommend her services . read more

We enrolled our 18 month old husky, Kenai, in Complete K9 Training's total immersive course. We rescued Kenai six months ago, and Complete K9 owner, Heidi, described him as a train wreck, which he was. We are senior citizens, and although Kenai is our 3rd husky, he was very stubborn, strong and hard to control. Fast forward 12 days, and the new Kenai is nothing short of a miracle! I'm very cognizant of working with Kenai on his skills about 10 minutes a day, plus our daily 30 minute walk. The transformation is amazing, and has improved our lives enormously. Thank you, Heidi and EJ! Wayne and Colleen, 12 year residents of Canyon Crest, Riverside. read more

They did an amazing job! My baby is not a puppy and a rescue so I wasn't sure how she would take to training. Heidi was amazing. She walking me through the process before hand and helped me identify any specific behaviors I wanted to work on that wasn't already a part of the program. On check-out day she took me through everything we talked about before and how my baby did during her 2 weeks. They even gave me a video of her following the commands for reference if I needed it later. She helped me understand what to expect and how I could continue to help my dog master her new skills. She even took me through the process with my dog as well to help talk me through any minute details or habits I seemed inclined to do. She was absolutely wonderful and answered all my questions (and I do tend to talk a lot lol). Since I've had my baby back I can definitely say there has been a massive improvement. We are still working on consistency, but honestly even with where she is now it was worth every penny!! read more

I was in a transition period with my dogs, I knew we would be losing my oldest and I didn't want my 2 year old Frenchie to be alone after she was gone. We got a puppy, Mini Schnauzer. My two year old is your typical Pandemic Puppy AND Frenchie..he was spoiled and bad. He's still spoiled but now he's selectively bad. In the best possible way. They laid an incredible foundation for his reactive nature and lack of socialization and real world experience due to the pandemic. I sent the puppy to Heidi and EJ two weeks after picking my Frenchie up and holy smokes. They laid the perfect foundation to build on and we work every day to reframe the older dogs life and to build the proper balanced world for the puppy and the difference in my quality of life is worth everything. My dogs were the embarrassing dogs on the block...no more. read more

I brought my pit bull puppy here. Before the training he refused to walk on leash, would bite the leash, would plant on the ground and refuse to move or budge. I could hardly get him to follow my sit command, much less down or stay. For me, I knew my new pup needed some training. I decided to go with CK9 based on their yelp reviews. They kept my dog for the 2 weeks he stayed at their house for the duration of the training. Halfway through, they emailed me a detailed progress report on how he was doing with specific commands, and also how he got along with the other dogs, etc. About a few days before check out, they sent out another progress report . When I picked up my pit, I amazed and how well he listened to sit, stay, heel, stay in place, and door crashing. Believe me, as I've owned a pit before, my boy is wild. I was actually a little doubtful that a pit like mine would turn out the way he did after the training. The trainer EJ, walked me through all the commands and taught me that my dog must always listen to me. They'll also talk to you extensively about your dog and what to look out for, and do it about it. This whole process took about an hour and a half. They sent me a video of my dog doing the commands. They also send you home with a supplemental guide containing all the information they went over with you. Bringing my Odin to CK9 training was the decision I could've made for my new pup. If you're thinking about bringing your dog here, I would say do it! Your dog will be in the right hands, with very good people. I will not be sharing how much it cost out of respect for CK9 training. If you're serious just email them and inquire as I did myself. read more
