She wasn't just teaching Tanner was was teaching me how to train Tanner, which is great because now I know how to correct him properly. Ali was very professional, on time and knew her stuff. I feel like I almost didn't pay her enough. 10 times better the Petsmart because she comes to you and helps the dog feel comfortable in there space.

We took our almost 6 month old Whoodle Petey to be trained at CK9. The entire place was spotless…read moreand Heidi welcomed him and explained the training process to us. During the first week there Heidi drew a bead on his intelligence and stubborn nature and let us know that he would need a firm but affectionate hand. She did not let him get away with his reluctance to submit even though he was pouty about it. When we picked him up, we were amazed! He followed our commands during our training session and retained much of what he learned. We had to go out of town for a funeral and then a few days later he was neutered, so he had a disruptive week but has gone back to obeying most of his commands. He even stops at doorways though I forget he is supposed to do it. Petey does have a larcenous side and is a stealthy counter surfer. He needs to be watched carefully and we are trying to tame the bandit in him. Otherwise he is delightful and fun to be around We had a house full of company last weekend and Petey did great with everyone, including two boys aged 10 and 12. Everybody fell in love with our sweet, smart, well behaved boy! We are so grateful to Heidi and EJ for giving us our darling, smart and obedient Petey. We give CK9 the highest praise and would recommend them to anyone who wants a well-mannered, well-trained canine companion. Yay!

I can't say enough good things about Complete K-9 Training and especially Heidi! We have three…read moreBoston Terriers -- Rosie, Charlie and Lola -- and anyone who has Bostons knows they come with BIG personalities! Each of our three is completely different, and Heidi took the time to understand each of them individually. Rosie needed help with her anxiety, while Charlie and Lola had their own personalities and behaviors to work through. Heidi knew exactly how to approach each one and, just as importantly, taught us how to be better, more confident owners. The difference in our three dogs has been incredible. We have more control, better communication, and a much better understanding of what they need from us. Having three dogs with different personalities isn't always easy, and Heidi gave us practical tools that actually work in everyday life. What I love most is how much Heidi genuinely cares. She doesn't just train your dogs and send them home -- she wants the entire family to succeed. We are SO thankful for Heidi and Complete K-9 Training. If you're looking for a trainer, especially if you have multiple dogs or challenging behaviors, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. Heidi is the BEST! Rosie, Charlie & Lola give her 15 stars -- 5 each!

Great teacher my dog loved him. He was very nice and my dog learned a lot. I would recommend him.read more

A few months ago I decided to board and train my dog Penny(3yrs old)to Gallardo's k-9 for a five…read moreweek basic obedience/on leash train and behavior modification. I was referred to Anthony by a couple of people and after reading his reviews I decided to hire Anthony. Through the process, Anthony kept in communication with me on Penny's progress. Five days prior to her training completion Anthony sent a message via text informing me that Penny possibly sprained her paw/ankle jumping off one of the obstacles courses he had her on. I was set back at first because agility training wasn't agreed upon or part of Penny's program. My understanding is that the obstacle courses are used for agility training which was not part of her 5 week course. He informed me that she was putting a little bit of pressure on it, but because she was not crying and still eating and drinking he believed it was a good sign. He advised me how the same thing happened to his dog and it was ok after a week and that was why he suspected it was just a sprain and didn't think she needed to go to the vet. As an experienced trainer I trusted his judgment because I was not physically there in person to see her behavior. Upon arriving to pick her up; as he brought her out she wasn't putting any pressure on her back right leg at all, only when he asked her to sit. Due to her injury Anthony thought it would be best if we did her last two hour sessions another day. He informed me that we would go over the training he completed with Penny once she got better. Upon leaving Anthony due to the injury and pain I can see on Penny's face I didn't feel right driving six hours back home without getting her examined so I decided to take her to a near by emergency vet. Penny was diagnosed with a dislocated hip and fracture. The vet informed me that if he had brought her in the day of the incident, they could have popped her hip back in. Given that time had passed they had to perform two procedures and now her recovery is to be crated/confined and heavily medicated with little to no activity for 8-12 weeks hoping the procedure is successful. After 8 weeks of recovery, the vet will examine her by X-ray to rule out having to perform a total hip replacement. When I updated Anthony on Penny's condition after her first vet visit, he responded.. "Poor penny I didn't think it would be her hip. I'm so sorry this happened I've never had a dog get hurt before" Afters Penny's procedure, I sent Anthony an update and informed him what was completed and what Penny had to go through. I also asked if he could possibly refund me for the training because in my mind I thought it was the right thing to do since it was only a fraction of the total costs of vet visits and her surgery. He never responded, called or text. This all happened within the week of picking up penny on May 27, 2023 and the last I heard from him was on June 13th. Penny's next appointment in August will determine if she needs a hip replacement. It has been almost two months since the first procedure and her behavior has worsened. She is now more anxious, timid and afraid of being left alone. The vet bills alone have already exceeded the price of training. Due to her pain and suffering she did not retain any of her training. The reason for my review is to warn others of the kind of trainer you will be working with. I would have at least expected a return call or text from Anthony. I never expected a full refund but I did expect him to be professional and at least offer a solution instead he turned his back and disregarded us. Definitely not a trainer I would recommend to anyone.

Don was very friendly and he covered everything from beginning to end. And he made sure we…read moreunderstood everything and asked to make sure we did. He could tell I had so much tension I been stressing out about my dog and he made sure to check in with my concerns. We recently moved and our Bichon Frise did not take the move well. He has since become very aggressive and attacks the other family dog viscously. This was not like him at all. We never trained him so he was a free spirit dog you could say but his behavior just got worst in the last month. Don taught us techniques to get him to listen. I was shocked. I've never seen him listen. Also even after he left my dog was more calm and would listen. We are going to make sure to follow all his steps and tools he gave us to succeed. At the end of the day we trained us too lol I recommend him 100 percent. I called him yesterday and thankfully he had a cancellation and pray and I snatched that appointment fast.

Don is awesome. My dog did a 180° since meeting him. He literally came to our home yesterday…read moremorning and my husband and I are still marveling at how great/easy his training session was. He could try and squeeze out whatever money he can by promising the same outcome in a span of 4-5 weeks but he is honest and cuts the B.S right from the start. My dog would jump on us all the time, try and eat our food, run out the gate and it's insane to say, Don helped us correct it all in a few hours. Obviously you have to practice practice practice until it becomes a habit for the dog so in the end, it comes down to you. Are you willing to put in the work and have a great relationship with your dog. If you are, save yourself hundreds of dollars and visits, and call Don.

BEST DECISION FOR MY DOGS!!!…read more My two dogs are the Jack Russel and Golden Retriever. I did not know what I was getting into when I became a dog owner. Before I took them to Rhode's, my dogs pulled on a leash and made it very difficult to walk. They would get upset at each other at mealtime when I gave them food. I used to have to feed them in separate rooms. They also ran out the door into the street when I opened the front door, and they would not listen when I commanded them to sit or come when I call their name. After a month of obedience school training with Rhodes, my dogs are everything I hoped them to be!! My dogs walk on a leash with ME in control, they are nice to each other and eat food together, and they also listen to me!!!! I tell them to sit, they sit!! I call their name, they come to me on command!! They get along with other dogs!! I can confidently take them to the dog park now! They also do not bark excessively like they used to! My neighbors are happy!!! You will not be disappointed with a bit of dog obedience training through Rhodes. I recommend 100%
