The first time we met Andrew, he came to our house to meet our newest editions: two 7 m/o, rescued,…read morepitbull littermates - Frankie and Ellie - who had developed some issues while running the streets but had not lost a bit of their boundless puppy energy. Andrew spent an hour or two at the house, observing the dogs and talking to us about what we were hoping to accomplish relative to what he was seeing. Before leaving, he gave us a couple of simple things to work on prior to the start of our consecutive board-and-train sessions two weeks later. Frankie and Ellie are now back with us and while they still have enormous amounts of energy, their ability to respond to commands, walk with a loose leash (zero pulling) and maintain their "place" is incredible! Selective use of the e-collars has even allowed us to redirect their attention in the midst of their loudest, most raucous roughhousing episodes. We can't recommend Andrew enough. He has a way that brings about significant behavioral changes in the dogs while building the confidence of owners: it's amazing to witness the transformations. We are so grateful that we found Andrew and would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking to reconnect and improve their relationship with their dog(s)!

Vernon was very welcoming and was able to break everything down to us. We had a four hour session and by the end we noticed a significant improvement in our dog. Before he was scared of the treadmill but within one session he is now able to walk for 30 minutes without issues. For leash walking he was a changed dog! He doesn't try to run after any dogs/animals and would stay by my side. I would recommend this to anyone it is worth the money.

I searched a lot, and then I found Alpha K9 for swimming. I wanted a place which can train and let my pups play for a bit. The process of registering my puppies was easy. I had to send a couple of documents online. Hannah was very quick each time giving me a call back and she explained everything to me. My first and second session were great Hannah helped and although me my pup was fussy she she got it. I think the place is huge. There's a lot for every pup. Boarding, training theres quite some activities. The only thing that could be a concern for me in the long run is $75 for 30 minutes, which is a lot for my budget. Otherwise I think that's a great place with kind people who love animals.

He has been prompt and has communicated very well. Our dogs absolutely love him and respond well to his training techniques. He has helped my husband and I build our arsenal of training opportunities and helped our dogs be the best they can be. We thought our one dog was reactive and he helped us figure out that the one dog was just reacting to the energy of the other dog. Mind was blown!! Our dogs are 4 and we are just now learning this. I highly recommend Ultimate Canine and that you request Mitch for your training needs. I would have him back in an instant to help with anything that comes up with our dogs!

Ruby is our rambunctious 3-month-old golden retriever and they helped her become much more self-regulating, polite, and confident--it feels like we have a much happier and secure puppy now. Madison worked with her on all the essentials--basic commands, leash manners, and appropriate behavior in new environments--but what really stood out was how thoughtfully they approached real-life situations. They helped her learn how to walk calmly, settle herself, and even confidently handle outings into stores and unfamiliar settings. They clearly understand how to help support a well-adjusted, secure dog. We feel so much more confident as owners, too. Couldn't recommend Bark Tutor Training more highly!

Our goofy, 3-year-old supermutt loves Bark Tutor so much. It's a bit different than other training…read moreand daycare spots, with a targeted focus on puppies and younger dogs and a much smaller space. Most of the dogs here are learning how to be dogs! But if you've got new young puppers in your family, this is the place to take them. The trainers and staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable and genuinely love all of the doggos so much. They get a very good read on their personalities in the small group setting, and mix and group dogs accordingly in different spaces while also allowing time for breaks and hydration. The space is always super clean and inviting, with big windows in the front to see the main play area. Our dog Oliver is a very assertive player, and they always make sure he gets to play his way -- even if it's with the staff! If I'm honest, our guy has probably aged out of Bark Tutor, but we keep bringing him back because it's his favorite place in the world. He's been to daycare at many other places in and out of town, but nothing gets his bottom wiggling like a day at Bark Tutor.

Our dog never loved it (always hated it in fact) but he could get through it with little issues and be groomed. Our current rescue has different struggles but Pam has been willing to work with us again and that is much appreciated. Grooming is a hard business and yet all of our rescue pets deserve kind treatment and she can provide it!

This was a great experience for all of us, we learned a lot and Theo definitely did too! Every week we practiced new tricks and tactics and our instructor was so knowledgeable and helpful. They also ended the several-week program with a fun obstacle course that earned our graduation! We each did it one at a time and cheered our classmates on. This was a fun environment for learning with my first pet as an adult. They also have a grooming service that we have been using ever since. Ms. Pam is responsive and we schedule appointments over text. For a nail trimming, bath, and full trim is around $40 and she accepts cash or check. Since I live on the south side of downtown, this is a great affordable option compared for pricier options closer by. It's definitely worth the easy drive to Beech Grove.
