I dropped off my 1yr old Doberman because we were moving into a Apartment the same day and he was disobedient, jumped on everyone, we couldn't walk him at all without him pulling or trying to run after cats. First things first THANK YOU ANDY!!!!! He trained our Doberman so well. We didn't know what else to do I gave delta k9 a call they immediately answered scheduled me an evaluation appointment right away. Every week they updated me with weekly updates so that was very cool and pleasing . His Trainer Andy and the whole team at Delta K9 academy are so nice and welcoming I 100 percent would recommend this place! Please before you think of giving away your best friend call delta k9 academy you won't regret it one bit. we also got trained with our puppy and his trainer Andy so we can fully understand everything and how it all works. He did an amazing job breaking everything down and explaining how everything is done. My kids can now enjoy our family dog with peace Thank you Andy & the whole Delta K9 Academy.

I don't know where to start! Delta K9 has done such a great job with our 2 year old GSD Buzz. He had behavior issues, anxiety issues, and would not focus under high stress situations. It has been 8 (what felt like) very long weeks, but they were all worth it. Grace has done such a great job with him and Buzz loves her (a sign of a good trainer if you ask meHe is confident, attentive, but most of all he is still himself. While he is very well behaved (a 180 shift from before), he still has his same personality, still likes to play, and is still himself. I would like to add, we tried other trainers (that had great reviews) prior to Delta, but they were not ready for a high drive dog like Buzz. I can't recommend coming straight to Delta enough. They also ensure you are properly prepared to handle your dog. With transition sessions and answering and asking every question possible, they don't leave any stone unturned.

DELTA K9 is AMAZING! Our 10 month old american bully "Yui" had aggression towards dogs and people. We brought him in for behavior modification. Delta K9 staff took great care of Yui and they gave weekly video updates of his improvement. GRACE is AWESOME in training Yui . He is a new dog! She gave a lot of pointers and made us understand more about him . Grace gave me a lot of confidence in handling our pup. We can't thank her and the Delta K9 staff enough. I bet Yui ("Chokito") will definitely miss them too :)

[My very first review for DK9A was on Google Reviews: https://goo.gl/maps/T69UdTUTC8NgWhEF9] We bought our black GSD, Koa, from Delta K9 Academy in June of 2022. He became very protective and dog reactive from around 8 months old. I did my best to work on giving him corrections and desensitizing him, but it was also challenging getting my stubborn husband and rowdy young daughters on-board as well. We were using a prong collar that apparently, the gauge was way too big, more for a 130 lb dog, according to the head trainer, Vinny [my bad, main Trainer, Grace, gave him a new smaller one]. Hence why my corrections weren't doing the trick and I was a little late on that too. **Self-accountability.** [wink, wink] He's boarded there in Jan 2022 when my hubby and I celebrated our 10yr anniversary. Owner, Mike, suggested we bring him back for obedience training before he gets even stronger and somebody gets hurt. Unfortunately, the timing didn't work out then because my 8yo was in school and I would have to head back to DK9A for the 3-day Transfer process which must be done in three *consecutive* days and we have 1.25-1.5hr commute one-way with decent traffic on the dreaded 405 fwy. We figured it best to wait to board and train him when we left for vacation and they would update me on his progress once a week with a few phone calls to address my long list of concerns. Mike was very patient and informative in doing so. After 5.5 weeks of training [varies per dog/family] and completing the 3-day transfer of learning and working with his amazing trainer, Grace, speaking with a few other DK9A trainers, and Mike, here are the major improvements we noticed as of this writing: 1) He no longer barks at other dogs on our walks as long as my husband, 8yr old [pictured], and I [main handler] make sure to give him a quick pop on the lead to correct him before he starts fixating on a person, bird/squirrel/smaller animal [high prey drive] or another dog [dog reactive]. Prior to OB training, he would lunge towards another dog, bark ferociously like he'd wanna kill them or eat a yappy Pomeranian/Maltese for a snack. 2) He no longer pulls hard on our walks. YAYYyyy!!! 3) He listens to our basic commands a lot better too! SIT, STAY, DOWN, PLACE - all big improvements. I reintroduced crate training upon his first day home and it was a smooth transition. He was already used to "bed" on his cot bed which is now, "place." His orthopedic bed remains "bed." He doesn't leave Place unless we tell him too [still a daily work in progress at home]. 4) We learned not to give him treats for small feats, but greater tasks since he's already very food and toy motivated (ex: no treat just for sitting, but give treat at the *end* of multiple tasks, always give a treat for good recall). This may be different for other dogs, please speak with a DK9A trainer for individualized tips. 5) His recall was great at their facility, but we're still working on that at home both indoors and especially outdoors with a lead and prong collar (ask them for what size Herm Sprenger collar is best for your dog). We also purchased an Anchor convertible slip lead before leaving on his final day there. 6) He hasn't barked at the "Yappy Dog/House" even though they barked at him from behind their tall backyard fence on our walks around our neighborhood since pickup on Thurs., 7/20/23 (we walk/play/train him daily). 7) He no longer pulls to sniff and mark every frickin thing on our walks. We couldn't be more ecstatic about how much more pleasant our walks are with Koa and forever grateful to his trainer, Grace. Special shoutout to the girls at the front office [hi Adel & Celia!] for being so patient and entertaining my daughters so I could speak with Grace, Mike, and train with Koa. Lord knows how challenging it is to manage my 8yr old's chronic autoimmune T1d (not like T2d - insulin dependent vs insulin resistant, she can't reverse or outgrow it, no cure), being a full-time mom and main caregiver, and making time to train Koa. Now that he's more well-behaved, I can actually have my oldest daughter walk him around our neighborhood, having her pass him to me like how Grace showed us, before another dog/owner approaches us. Note: Koa's 15 months old, 80lbs, intact. He likes to be the dominant male in our neighborhood. DK9A did the hard work and it's up to us to keep up the daily training now that we learned how to do it better. We anticipate being able to bring him to dog-friendly beaches in the next week or two, on-lead with his "DO NOT PET" tactical collar and/or harness of course, bc we're often surrounded by none-the-wiser. He's the third dog [and smartest] we've owned thus far. We're open to e-collar training with Grace in the near future too for more confidence & fun outdoors.

My girl Sophie  - Thank you Delta K9, thank you Grace!!
Veronica L.

Delta K9 has done AMAZING work with my dog!! She's 110 lbs, Doberman Great Dane mix who was taken from her mom and litter at 6 weeks so she never learned compliance. She has always been a love bug at home but I could not take her on car rides, hikes or walks because of her aggressive behavior towards others. Grace, one of Delta K9's finest, trained Sophie off leash using an E-Collar. Sophie did so well that she even became a demo dog!! I am beyond grateful for all the work she did with my pup. Today Sophie can enjoy a much more fulfilling life and integrate herself with society.

My dog has benefited greatly from Delta K9's work. His trainer Grace, deserves a lot of credit. Delta k9 crew was outstanding. She trained Chapo using efficient training methods and tough love, and she did a fantastic job. She also had provided us with thorough instructions to ensure that we carry on with the training at home. Chapo has been a whole new dog since we got him back. His level of anxiety has decreased. He is now a confident dog. Allowing us to take him places and for walks around the neighborhood. I strongly recommend grace as a trainer and delta k9 for anyone looking to enhance their dog's behavior and their dog training. Grace and the Delta K9 team deserve a huge shout-out.

Receipt of our vet bills after picking up my dog from their facility

Mike is a bully. As I was trying to work with them regarding the refund of vet bills for my dog's kennel cough, they asked that I email the vet bills and I did! No response from any of them. I finally called after a month and I was told "you want me to pay for your dogs vet bills?" I said you should, my dog lost weight, got a kennel cough and didn't train well after being in your facility for almost a month! Not to mention us paying 5k for his training! We didn't pay them 5k just to deal with the aftermath and be treated condescendingly and pay another 1500 for the vet!!

2 month old German Shepherd
Angela K.

Last week we got our 2 month old German Shepard from Delta K9 and have plans to enroll him in their protective training academy. They made the process for our kids so fun and gave both my husband and I the utmost support and professional help we can ask for. Being a dog owner is a huge responsibility and they made the process so enjoyable for all 5 members of my family. We got to meet both the parents of our pup and the kids got to bond with him before taking him home. The staff there are so professional and knowledgeable, that we instantly felt that we're getting our new family member from the right establishment. We can't wait to now start our training journey with them. Thank you guys so much from the bottom of my heart! You've helped make a difference for my family.

Trainer, my Belgian Malinois, Owner (My Dad)
Anaisse R.

This place was great to take my 6mos old Belgian Malinois to get trained for obedience! Marco did a fantastic job & made the transition week of training for my dad and I very informative! We both feel confident that our dog was taken care of while she was away from us for this training program. All the staff was very friendly & welcoming. The girls at the front did an amazing job at breaking down how/what the program covers in terms of cost and such. I would definitely take my Belgian back for more training if she needs it. Thank you so much, DeltaK9!

In…read more2023/2024 I found the dog resort extremely helpful as a day time dog sitter for 4-6 hrs at a time. My dog didn't seem to mind it and always came back calmer so I decided to leave him here for 9 days while I went away for a trip. I don't recall the exact costs. Probably between 900-1100 dollars for daily walks and his home provided food. I asked the employees to put on his sweater at night. It wasn't a question it was a very important task they agreed to. He was a very small 8 pound yorkie and was always cold. When I came back my dog was not his normal self. That already made me highly suspicious about getting his walks. He was coughing a lot, not sleeping but also lethargic. I took him to the vet and he had pneumonia. Meaning, he was cold from day 1 and got worse for the remainder of his stay and I never got a call from here. From there he got sicker and sicker and I had to put him down. I was devastated and desperate to get him back to normal for months! I recommend people never leave their dogs in places like this. Sure you save money and they may or may not have company (depending on their personality) but you're better off vetting a dog sitter to check in or stay with your dog at home. In the end you may save yourself an onslaught of vet bills from trying to figure what is making your dog so ill when back from a trip. At least with an in home dog sitter they're more like to stay alive and healthy. If you have a small dog with specific needs get someone who can cater to your dog with love and care. I highly suggest NEVER leaving your dog for overnight or extended stays. I hate that it took me so long to post this but my grief was too strong to do it before. I wanted to sue, I wanted my money back, but I was so sad and I couldn't bring myself to do much other than focus on him and move on with my life. I'll never get another dog after this experience.
