    He is a fraud, a fake, a thief, a lying cheat!!!!! I got an Aussie Shepard pup and hire Travis to…read moretrain her for me. I paid him the total amount of $500 1st session for 15 sessions! He told me he would give me a receipt. He Never Did!!! At the 2nd arranged session, he called me and rescheduled it because of some conflict. I agreed. When he did arrive, his wife was with him, no problem with me but she Supposedly fell in love with the pup and wanted her, so on the 3rd scheduled session, which he rearranged for some reason. When he arrived 2 days later he told me that She really wanted that pup which was 4-5 months old at that time, Because it was so difficult for me to handle her because of my disabilities and age, and that I needed a smaller more docile dog, I agreed she could have the dog. I freely gave them the puppy. He told me that he would refund me the $500.00 AND train the next dog I chose for free. He has made NO EFFORT to refund the CASH MONEY I paid him at the 1st session! I believed in him then. Since he has made NO EFFORT to refund the $500, will not answer the calls or texts, in my opinion he is as stated at the beginning, A lying cheat, a thief and a fake fraud!!!!!!! For some reason this says that I live in CA, I do not, I live in Marion IL. I also recommend that everyone read the NOT RECOMMENDED reviews below!!!!!!

    Travis has been such a wonderful trainer for our two fur babies!! I'm just 6 sessions, our 5 year…read moreold Lab mix went from aggression on sight to being able to be walked in the neighborhood with almost no reaction to other dogs or people walking by. We have a 1 year old mixed breed dog as well and she has made great strides in her confidence. Both are shelter dogs with questionable pasts, but with guidance from Travis, we have learned how to predict, re-direct, and just all around give our dogs the love and direction they need. Without a doubt, hiring Alpha Canine Rehabilitation and Training is the best decision we have made since being a dog owner!!

    I can give you less than one star , I would gladly do that, Today for the first time we took two of…read moreour dogs to be groomed for summer cuts. We did not expect the groomer to razor burn the girl's under their genital region and their front legs under the chest. They are in. A lot of discomfort tonight. Groomer's name was capital.Remember started with a B, brandy or brenda Needs to be FIRED. When you read this review, I hope you lose sleep at night over this because we're going to. These are medical working dogs that cannot efficiently or effectively do their job for the next 48 hours. Because they have to be nursed back to health , they're actually in pain. Corta.zone an ice packs, never in my life. They're comfort matters to us. You apparently are not a professional , When you razor burn a dog you treat immediately. I am about to start a campaign against against this business. See the pictures that I have attached.

    There's a reason so many people told me NOT to go here, but I am all for giving local businesses…read morethe benefit of the doubt! I am new(er) to the area of Marion: I'd previously taken my Yorkie Poo Pup to another Marion groomer, but they recently moved to Herrin so I thought I would give another local place a try: WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!! My appt 130p ** I work from home and lost track of time!! I called AT 140p to say I was 5 min away. I was told to 'hold on', as the girl who answered the phone had to ask if the groomer could still 'fit her in'!?!?! To her appt? The allotted time she already had?? The phone girl returned SEVERAL minutes later as I was already in their parking lot and said the groomer can not 'fit her in', they have a 15 minute late policy!!!!!! WHAT?? So calling and requesting the additional 5 minutes was a deal breaker?? How about shorten the service?? Or just a SANITARY CLEAN UP!! That would have made more sense, and I would have been 100% OK with that!! I was even, for the groomers trouble, going to tip DOUBLE what I usually do!! I guess the groomers don't need the money or clients, or just prefer to be on break!! Yes, I WAS LATE, but that is life sometimes! All I can say is, I'm going back to the original groomer I started with, a 15 minute drive vs 5 min from my house, but absolutely WORTH it!!!

    Sending our 8 month old Lab to K9 Solutions for training was the best thing we ever did! They…read morehelped to shape our pup into the dog we knew he could be! Our lab is high energy, full of love, playfulness, and equal amounts of being ornery. That mixed with bringing home a brand new baby wasn't going to work. So we did some research and came across this program. After speaking with Tommy, he took the time to explain the program and why they do what they do. It put me at ease to know that our sweet pup would be in the hands of people who actually care. He will still be loved and cared for alongside his training program. While in training, we got constant pictures, videos, and updates of our pup from our trainer Amanda. That helped put our hearts at ease as we missed him every day! We saw things he was working on with the trainer, how he was responding and even got to see pictures and videos of them working with him in public at public venues that allow dogs. We got to see his progress and see that he was well taken care of and treated with love and care. We chose the 2 week training program with boarding, and even though It was hard to leave our pup for 2 weeks, it was the best decision we ever made!!! When boarding the dogs, they are well cared for. They are kept clean, healthy and have special attention time outside of just training. They also allowed us to come to the facility to work with our pup when his training was over. This was to teach us all the ins and outs of what he had learned, and have the trainers guidance as we worked our pup on the different commands. When we welcomed our pup back home after his training, we couldn't have been more impressed! He was still our sweet and loving high-energy puppy, but he had control! He listened to commands, we were able to create boundaries at home, he no longer jumped on us but could be excited and contain himself. He was a brand new dog, but yet still the sweet, fun-loving dog we knew! Most importantly, he was gentle and easy with our newborn baby girl. We no longer worry if he is going to jump on us as we are carrying her or jump on the furniture when we are sitting with her. Instead, he sits next to us or walks alongside us as her protector. One of the best parts of this training is knowing that we have lifetime support from K9 Solutions. When you do a board and train, you will get lifetime support from them to do refresher courses if needed. It is so reassuring to know that if we need additional help, they will be there for us at no additional charge! If it wasn't for Tommy's confidence in his program and reassurance that our pup would come back the same pup but better, I don't know what we would have done. I could tell the love that Tommy had for what he does and that was all I needed to know. Our trainer Amanda was phenomenal! You can tell she is a pro and natural at what she does! And you can tell she loves what she does! Her love, care, and commitment to the pups she is training is evident and we couldn't be more thankful to her for all she did for our pup! She even did an at home check with us 2 weeks after brought him home to make sure there was no regression! He was so excited to see her, and it was like he was ready to work again, knowing who she was! We highly recommend K9 Solutions and their training programs! They are professionals that care about the dogs, and take pride and dedication in what they do. This is one of the most well rounded training programs that is run for all the right reasons. If you are considering training for your pup, look no further! We are forever grateful for them and what they did for our pup!

Cannot endorse them enough.
