I have used Delmarva K9 twice now for training. First, for my rescue Shih Tzu - Yoshi, and the second time for my Pomsky Loki. My reviews for Yoshi can be found on Facebook and Google.
Loki was brought to DK9 for obedience training as he was a wild child. He would never listen to me and would constantly run away whenever I needed him to come in the house. It was maddening, and definitely created stress for our early relationship. It was also difficult because my other dog was so good after his training.
But this all changed after Loki's month long stay with JC, Heather, and the rest of the staff at Delmarva K9. Upon his return his behavior and listening skills had greatly improved. So much so that the stress that was present in our relationship was no longer there. Dog training is not a cure all for everything. The owner and the pet must continue to work at the newly learned skills so they don't slip back into old behaviors. His initial training allowed me to do just that. we learned to work together and grow a trusting relationship we each other. At training Loki learned to leash walk, basic commands such as sit, down, stay - which he could do for prolonged periods while I walked away. But most importantly, Loki would come when called. I would create games that would reinforce this behavior and in time he would quickly respond to my call of, COME.
Loki and and Yoshi also go to DK9 for boarding when I travel for work. They take great care of my animals. They are also quite affordable, especially for multiple animals.
It is also with great sadness that two weeks before Christmas, at only 2yrs 4mo of age Loki was diagnosed with Large Cell Squamous Cancer with a mass next to his heart. This progressed so quickly that only one week later the children and I had to put Loki to sleep. We are devastated with this loss, as is his bonded friend Yoshi. But the time we spent together and the close friendship we experienced was made better by his training at Delmarva K9. For this we will be forever grateful. He will be sadly missed!raining read more
