    Winston has become much more relaxed and confident through obedience classes.
    Kathleen C.

    Dog Training by PJ has helped our rescued golden retriever so much. Winston has graduated from 3 obedience classes taught by Susie Jensen, and he has become a much better behaved, calm, and confident dog. As a rescue dog, he is reactive to other dogs, although he loves people. Susie did an in home consultation and gave me guidance about helping him overcome reactivity, then he started obedience classes. He loves the classes and even enjoys practicing his new skills at home. Dog Training by PJ is reward/affirmation based, and they do not use or recommend prong or shock collars. The classes are fun, relaxed, informative, and highly effective. PJs was recommended to us by our vet and I highly recommend them too.

    Tumble playing with another dog during puppy playtime

    I would recommend PJ's for the puppy playtime, and then again for the classes. The playtime is crucial for puppies, and I am so happy that PJ's offers such an amazing environment. I have brought my Aussie, Tumble, since he turned 8 weeks old and have seen such a massive change in him. When he first came to playtime, he was very shy and hid between my legs, now he happily trots around, greets people, and will play with some of the lower/moderate energy dogs (he isn't much of a high energy player, but loves to run). The trainer in charge of playtime, always Susie in my experience, calmly watched everything and does a great job at explaining behaviors to everyone. I am only in one class right now, the puppy kindergarten with Susie, and am very happy with it. I have learned some alternative ways to train things such as "leave it", and it has given Tumble the chance to learn in a more distracting environment. I think I will look into agility classes when he gets a bit older because he showed some aptitude for it in a workshop also hosted by PJ's.

    Absolutely would recommend them for puppy play time and Puppy Kindergarten! My pup has learned so much and loves puppy play time. We just finished up Level 1 and I already signed her up for level 2. Susie makes it easy to understand how to train the right way and is encouraging when things get frustrating. I get compliments already on how smart little Phoebe is! Can't wait for the next level!

    We took our puppy(Whiskey) to the 6 week puppy basics class. Was a good value for $120. We learned lots and had fun. Susie was our trainer and she was very knowledgeable and helpful. She took time with each family and puppy throughout the sessions and made sure to answer our questions. It was fun to see all the puppy's learn and grow throughout the sessions. It seemed as though mostly larger breeds dog attend since out of 8 or 9 we had the only small dog but we were glad to have the opportunity to have our little guy be around big dogs in a safe environment. They offer many other classes and playgroups and reasonable prices and we will be sure to go back to learn more.

    I rescued a dog from PJ 8 years ago (Chip). He is very special needs. PJ kept in touch with me and helped me through dealing with such a broken spirited dog. I got another dog and was being very possessive and attaching my Chip. So as usual, Pam is always willing to talk to me and give advice on dealing with different behaviors. Well this last one was such a success, I have to share the outcome of her expertise and able to help without me driving 100+ miles. Her knowledge and compassion is the best I have seen. Thank you Pam for being there for me. Patti

    They train the owners as well as the dog. We have learned a lot about our boy. We are continuing training into more advanced classes.

I couldn't be more pleased! Boris is a backyard bred corso I rescued and he has many of the temperament issues that go along with that such as overstimulation and reactivity. As he's gotten older they have come up and become hard for me to manage. Trevor assessed him and was immediately able to zero in on the behavior! When we went to pick up Boris Trevor spent over an hour working with us to teach us how to better manage the behavior as well as go over what Boris had learned. One of the issues we were having was keeping him focused if an off leash dog was around, using the skills we were taught as well as what Boris had learned, when a dog approached us Boris ignored the dog and we were able to continue peacefully. What a pleasure to be able to enjoy a walk without having to be on alert! Complete game changer to be able to enjoy your dog. Now Boris is ready to go for the advanced CGC and we will surely be involving Trevor in that process.

He had been acting out of sorts at daycare too. I expressed my worries to Heidi upon check in and she understood he was still going through a tough time without his buddy. She told me she would indicate that he was a special needs dog, who may need some extra care and attention. I really appreciated her going out of the way to put my mind at ease for our trip. I checked in a few days into our vacay and was told he was not eating like normal and asked if they could try some chicken broth and pumpkin to encourage him to eat. I told the staff on the phone that he had been more finicky with eating even with new wet foods. They would keep an eye on him and let me know if anything changed. I got a call from the staff the day before pick up and was told my dog hadn't eaten in two days but energy at daycare was normal. They offered to try and hand-feed him. When I picked him up, they said they were able to get him to eat some so he must've been getting lonely and wanted extra attention. I have really appreciate all of their staff's help in getting our dog adjusted to the loss of our other dog and for their support and understanding during his first solo stay. Thank you!

He escaped from my closed in patio 8 times. Walking him was a test of patients, every little thing distracted him. Other dogs were a major problem; seems he was mentally challenged by them. Holding him back took everything I had. I am disabled and walking can be a challenge for me. I had to do something if I was going to keep him. I called multiple dog training facilities, the Only one to call me back was Stephen from Real K9 Solutions. He took Shadow for 3 weeks. When the dog came back, I was able walk him with a loose leash. He no longer attempted to escape. On walks other dogs were still a challenge, but nowhere near what it was. I can walk him today and have him sit when other dogs are near, something I would never have been able to do prior to his training. Today I have decided to keep Shadow. In fact, he is quietly laying net to me. If not for Stephen and Real K9 Solutions it would have been return number 3 for Shadow. I can't recommend Stephen and Real K9 Solutions highly enough.
