This is a total scam and they are liars --they just want money. This started back in August 2023…read morewhere I paid to board my older pup and a foster pup because they were not getting along, IB K9 said the boarding date would be about a month out. Long story short, the same night I had requested for a refund when we had to cancel one of our foster dog's boarding after she hurt my older pup. They promised to send my money back. They never did. My older pup got sick after boarding and didn't learn anything basically; they were super communicative until my dog was boarded, then afterwards I had to keep reaching out to ask how she was doing and I got basically one photo during the entire time she was boarded. After I got my older pup back she seemed really sick, severely skinny and when I brought her to her vet, they expressed heavy concern with the facilities because she was clearly weaker and sick and I ended up breaking down crying from feeling so bad for doing this to her. I never even requested a refund for the harm they did to my dog ; I only asked for a refund on the dog that was NEVER BOARDED. I posted a review on Google a few years back when it all happened and in late July 2026, they replied to my google review telling me to reach out via email, only to tell me they won't refund me and state that it's part of the signed contract, but there was no such contract and they are absolute liars. I filed a small claims which they ignored; you can see in the affidavit attached where they tried to ignore / refuse to open the door and accept the served papers. I am now also posting all my interaction with them to warn anyone who is thinking of taking their dogs here. So bottom line is, if you want to traumatize your pup, waste your money, or never get your money back this would be a good place.

We rescued a very skidish/non-confident 10 month old German Shepherd from our local shelter. No one seemed to want him because he had a fear of men. We knew we wanted a behaviorist/trainer to help us help him... we found that in Eric Dorfman. We had Jack boarded/trained with Eric for 13 days, and then returned to us with a 4 hour pet parent training, that included any people/children/other pets, to show us and them how to maintain the training, in order to help Jack stay confident in learning new things. Jack was now a well mannered young dog! It was invaluable for us! Eric's behavioral training, helped him be confident enough to play with any dog breed or size and was more accepting to meeting men on our walks/hikes. Our Jack is just 14 months old as of this posting and can assist with helping other dogs be calm and confident too. We are so proud of his progress. Jack's confident behavior is a tribute to Eric Dorman's behavior training. Without it, Jack would be a scared, reactive dog. I HIGHLY recommend Eric Dorfman for all your K9 behavior issues! He even fixes issues that other "trainers" just can't or don't know how to but won't tell you. Note: You as the pet parent/pack leader, must be calm & consistent and willing to continue the training. Dogs seem to push their boundries like children, when you relax the training, they will try to go back to the old routine. GIVE ERIC A CALL, YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT.

My wife interviewed several potential trainers, and we are absolutely delighted that we decided to work with Louis from Robinson Dog Training!

First, it depends on the owner's participation which was attractive to us. Second, it better fit our budget. Another thing we liked was that it spanned several weeks so we got to spend time reinforcing the commands between lessons. Tip Top K9 was very helpful in scheduling training and postponing lessons when my wife was not feeling well. They also gave us tips on dealing with our 3 pound Yorkie which was not eligible for training. Our trainer was Thayden; and as others have mentioned, he is definitely a top level trainer. I highly recommend Tip Top K9

We have a almost 2 year old Goldendoodle rescue named Mulligan that we adopted 7 months ago. While…read moresweet, he was super reactive to other dogs. This made walks in our neighborhood truly challenging with the crying, barking and jumping. We stumbled across Nate when he saw him on TV. He had all of his dogs in tow, which were all sweet and behaved. We decided to purchase Nate's book first and focused on the fundamentals that he stresses with in-person training. That was a great foundation. But ultimately, we knew we wanted to have training with Nate. From start to finish it was truly a positive game changer. He first came to our house for the initial 2 sessions. He brings his dogs as well! From there, you still do 1:1 training but out in the real world along with in a group setting with other dog families. I would highly recommend Nate. Our dog has transformed. He can be around other dogs without getting overly excited. We can take him to restaurants without being embarrassed and most of all, he's not stressed and can just be a good boy.

We had a very disappointing experience with Nate and, in my opinion, potential clients should…read moreproceed carefully and trust their instincts if something feels off. We hired Nate to train both of our dogs and paid over $1,000 for the program, which was a significant investment for our family. After the first private session, we were told that one of our dogs was essentially "untrainable," yet no refund or adjustment was offered for that portion of the service. That was our first concern. During the first session, I personally observed handling of my Chihuahua that, in my opinion, was unnecessarily rough and alarming. At one point, the dog was grabbed by the top of the neck and forced to the ground. I understand trainers may use different methods, but this felt excessive and inappropriate to me. Initially, we were hopeful because the first session seemed productive. Unfortunately, things declined quickly afterward. Multiple scheduled sessions were canceled or rescheduled by Nate. After the third change, I called to explain that repeated rescheduling was difficult for our family because both of us had to coordinate time away from work. I also noted that the client cancellation policy appeared much stricter than the flexibility being shown on the business side. During that phone call, Nate became hostile and used disrespectful language. We recorded the conversation after the call escalated. In my opinion, the tone and behavior were unprofessional and concerning. He also accused me of not following through with the training and claimed only my husband had been participating. That was inaccurate. I work from home and was the primary person consistently implementing the training exercises every day. We also attended a group training session where Nate brought his girlfriend along with a German Shepherd. She was never introduced, no explanation was given as to why she was there, and the situation felt awkward and unprofessional. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere for what was supposed to be a structured training environment. Most importantly, the training did not produce the results we were promised despite our consistent effort and compliance with the program instructions. I have since spoken with others who shared similar dissatisfaction, though I can only fully speak to my own experience. My advice to anyone considering group sessions is to stay afterward and speak directly with other clients about their experiences and whether the training has been effective for them. In my opinion, it is valuable to hear honest feedback from others before making further commitments. This review reflects my honest personal experience and opinions. Others may have different results, but based on our experience, I would not recommend this service. If you would like to hear the audio recording of our phone interaction, feel free to reach out to me at Rayrayforthewin66@gmail.com. I strongly encourage anyone considering hiring a trainer to research thoroughly, ask detailed questions about methods, policies, and scheduling expectations, and choose someone whose professionalism and approach make you feel confident.
