    Ok... I have honestly witnessed a miracle. If you are looking for a great dog trainer, you MUST…read morecontact We Speak K9!!! I have three dogs at home, one is a pitbull causing major issues in household. God forbid anyone knocked on the door, my heart would drop in fear of another fight as they all run over. I tried three different training companies over the course of a 7 months period, paying tons of money for their in home training programs. NOTHING worked! In fact, I think some even made the issues worse. I had another issue occur and at this point running out of options. I was in the process of having to make a very difficult decision until I came across "We Speak K9." I explained my situation and I was told if I want to save my dog to bring her to their training class. I have to say I was very skeptical and did not believe anything would work given all my previous attempts. Even after the first session, I felt as thou I brought home a completely transformed dog. They were very professional and explained everything in detail, not only what is needed from my dog but also how I needed to treat/react towards my dog. My little girl picked up everything much faster then I did... lol. During our session today, I witnessed something I never thought would be possible. We were introducing her to a pack of about 20-25 dogs, all running around loose together. My level of fear was so high, I could not watch as they began the introductions. Once I saw her running around and playing with everyone, I was so proud and teared up a bit. She was 100% OK and probably had the best day of her life. None of this would have ever been possible with out "We Speak K9." I cannot express how thankful I am for meeting them when I did. They have completely transformed my dog and gave her another chance. We now go on multiple walks without turning around if we see another dog, restaurants and enjoy a stress free home. I highly recommend this company to anyone with major behavioral issues as well as for basic household training. You can take your training as far as you want to go with this company!

Maggie goes with us everywhere(restaurants, hotels, flying to Europe, etc.), and we have gotten so many compliments on her behavior and control. She makes friends wherever she goes, and we could not be more thankful to "We Speak K9" staff. Thank you for all of your hard work with her, and with us. I've learned just as much as Maggie did!

    Adam Rojas has been a miracle worker with our rescue, Prescott. Our sweet little twelve pound…read moredoxy/chihuaha has a tendency to snap and bite if he feels triggered, particularly if I get near his neck with leash or harness. This has made attempting to walk him a recurrent moment of panic for me, which has only emboldened Prescott to continue this behavior. He has even bitten me on several occasions, as well as my wife (though less frequently) albeit often enough to make us feel unsafe in our own home. We've been through several trainers, behaviorists, doctors and specialists; we've explored treatments for his spinal pain (pain meds, crating) to quell his agitation, and also began giving him Prozac to ease any anxiety or trauma he may suffer from. Ultimately, all of these measures did not adequately resolve the problem. Needless to say, after this saga of several years, we were at our wits end. Enter Adam Rojas: a true dog whisperer, he approached Prescott masterfully, equal parts dominant and compassionate, essentially mesmerizing my wife and I at his ability to make our little Napolean so submissive. It was a wonder to see, like sitting front row at a Las Vegas show in our own living room! Adam has been patient and instructive, always giving us specific action steps, techniques and clear explanations, all the while training my wife and I to provide Prescott with the pack leadership he so craves. Adam has been available by text and phone, continuing to reassure and answer any questions. He's taught us to correct Prescott's behavior in a timely and appropriate manner with commands and use of the leash; we've even learned to use the electric collar, of which Adam took great pains to teach us how to use effectively. The net result of these sessions has been a profoundly better adjusted doggie, and a much calmer and happier mommy and daddy! We didn't know where else to turn, and this instruction has made a world of difference! We heartily recommend Adam & K9 for their outstanding professionalism and excellent results.

    I can't recommend Susan's PlayTrainDog classes enough. We took both puppy kindergarten and basic…read moredoggy manners with PlayTrainDog, and we're so happy Susan helped give our Willow such a positive start in life. We adopted Willow when she was 8 weeks old. Before her, we had a wonderful dog who unfortunately had some fear issues with other dogs. We knew we needed positive socialization for Willow as early in life as possible, so we looked for the best training experience to get her into as soon as she was ready. We're so glad we found Susan. Willow loved her weekend training sessions at the park with her new friends so much. Being able to learn and play with other well behaved pups in such a positive group setting was an invaluable experience that we absolutely treasure. Puppy kindergarten really helped with basic socialization. Willow was shy when she was little. She hid under our lawn chair during part of the first class and just watched the other puppies from a safe place. In the group classes Susan made sure puppies were matched with others close to their own size and energy level, so shyer puppies could have a low key, non threatening introduction to each other. Gradually Willow gained confidence around even friskier pups, and now she loves other dogs of all sizes and energy levels, so much. She will actually try to match herself to the other dogs, so she is happy to frisk with high energy dogs, but with smaller or even shy big dogs, she'll lay down and play gently at their level. One of the first things she learned in puppy class was the Touch command, and that has really helped with her confidence and manners when meeting people. We didn't realize how important this command was, until after she had graduated from the puppy classes, and we took a trip to visit family. She was 8 months old and had already gained a lot of confidence from classes. But unexpectedly, we had not one but two different grownup male relatives who love dogs, but thought it would be fun to play-bark at her. She got really nervous around them, and afterward when we took her in public during that trip, she became suspicious when meeting men and even growled when a large man she didn't know approached her. We went back to basics and asked family as well as new people to introduce themselves by putting their hand out, and asked her to "Touch" their hand. This put her more in charge of the interaction, and allowed her to feel more relaxed and confident around new people. Now she has really gotten past that anxiety. She is so happy to meet people and dogs that when she gets close to them, she often melts into a lay-down while doing a full body wag-crawl toward them, to show how much she wants to meet and be friends. Lol. We also learned the 'Watch Me' command, which helps in so many situations. It helps to refocus and connect during walks, and when we're out in public if she's becoming distracted or excited. It helps 'get her head back in the game' so to speak. Together with 'leave-it', it helps with impulse control, so she can focus on me and remember her training. We learned so much in these classes but it's funny that the most basic things are proving to be the most important every day. In Basic Doggy Manners, we built on earlier skills and learned to help her be a better companion out in the world. She learned a solid heel, loose-leash walking, and a 3-second recall. She learned to pass other dogs or distractions without pulling, and working dog commands so we can communicate non-verbally, or at a distance. All these things we practice every day, and it helps build our bond always using positive reinforcement and life rewards. Willow is a border collie and a big thing for her is pulling toward things that roll, ie bicycles, roller skaters, trucks, golf carts, motorcycles. Susan helped us address this and learn how to help her, so she can be safer in public with us. We are still working on this, but so glad we have the tools to help her, and are seeing improvement. In addition to all these things, we learned to apply the 3 D's of dog training (distance, distraction, duration) throughout her training activities, and learned to use life rewards to motivate her. Willow isn't very food motivated, but she is very play-motivated, so we learned to use that to reward her for mastering new behaviors. This is a lot I know, but I'm leaving out so much more that we learned. We had so much fun and learned so much in these training sessions, and we practice and continue to build on the things we learned every day. We treasure the experience and absolutely recommend Susan's PlayTrainDog classes for anyone who wants to give their puppy the best possible start in life.
