This most recent visit is particularly telling of the team. Our Daisy has surgery last week.

What a handful! She was (is) very high energy, jumping up on me, pulling horribly on leash, dashing out the door at every opportunity. But she seemed very smart, so I believed that she could do better. Even though I have plenty of experience training my own German Shepherd pups, this little feral mixed breed (cattle dog?) of unknown age proved to be beyond me, and I contacted Robyn. She met us for an in-home consultation, and outlined what she had to offer. The emphasis was clearly on teaching ME how to train my dog. Perfect! We met with her once or twice a week, and also did our homework once or twice daily. And we had our last lesson today. My feral rescue dog is now a well-behaved delightful companion. She doesn't jump on people anymore, she walks beautifully on leash, and she waits for me to give her the command to go through any door. She also knows heel, sit, down, stay, and here. I'm 100% satisfied with Robyn's training!

I have 2 dogs. One is a giant schnauzer (2.5 yrs) and the other is a golden retriever (1.5 yrs)…read more Both have been to basic obedience classes in the past but apparently I failed them in maintaining the lessons they had learned. As a result, the boys became restless, jealous, no longer listened (well) and taking them on a walk became a chore we dreaded. I wanted a better life for them and me. I discovered TopLineK9 when a St. Bernard was dumped in the Village. When I heard where and how he was being prepared for his forever home, I googled the business and reached out to Stephanie. Wow. Is she just a burning ray of sunshine and joy! We met and the boys and I were hooked. The boys went to school for the 2 week board and train. We met a few times during training to; first ease my fear that my boys would forget me, and to begin to train ME on being a better leader. Once the boys came home the change was palpable. They were actually calm in the mornings when they used to brawl at our feet while we drank coffee. Walk became something to look forward to and we were able to get out to some trails without the dogs barking and lunging at other people and dogs. They are actually listening and looking to me for direction instead of doing whatever they want to do. We are still in the process of doing a few follow ups to make sure that everything "stuck". I think the boys really benefited by being away from me for a few weeks because (I believe) they needed a break from me and my frustrations. I feel blessed to have found Stephanie and her team, they really perform miracles!

I do not know where we would be without Monique. I truly do not. Our dogs Morgan and Joey had…read morelived together without issue for 11 months and then we started having major problems. Fights would erupt out of nowhere (or so we thought). We were living with them separated. Two different trainers we worked with were biased regarding mixed breed/rescue dogs and left us with little hope. The rescue we adopted Joey from recommended Monique with Elite K9 Training Ranch. Our evaluation was unlike anything I have ever experienced. SHE KNOWS DOGS!!! Like, really knows dogs. Truly, she is a dog whisperer. Joey had a 4 week board and train. She gave us homework to work on with Morgan at home. I was apprehensive at first about leaving my 'kid' for 4 weeks but now she is the one we board our pups with when we go away. She cares about them like they are her own and she provides a secure, protected and balanced environment. We have now worked with Monique for over a year. Board and train for Joey in 2023 then weekly group classes in Prescott with the occasional get away boarding. Every time I am around her I learn something new and my relationship with my dogs has never been better. Looking back on the past year I can now say that I am glad our dogs fought and led us to Monique. I am a better leader and advocate for my dogs. I am a better human too. Monique's real ability is teaching us, the humans, how to be better for our dogs and how to listen to what they are telling us and be the leader they need. It takes work, dedication and patience but, wow, is it worth it! Thank you Monique for everything. Our home, ourselves and our 'kids' are so much better because of you.

This boarding facility almost killed my dog and didn't even apologize or refund any of his stay…read moreeven though we had to pick him up half way through his stay. I boarded my dog here for what was supposed to be a six night stay over Christmas while we stayed with family about 15 minutes away. After three days they called me to tell me that they hadn't been able to feed or give water to my dog and hadn't bothered to call me even though I had emailed every day and told them I could come get him if they were having trouble. He is very aggressive towards people he doesn't know so I called beforehand to make sure they would be able to handle him and they assured me they could. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. Three days without food or water could've easily killed him and we couldn't even get an apology. On top of that, they left the leash on him in his kennel (which he then chewed off - they also decided they wouldn't pay to replace the leash) so he easily could've died if it caught on something. Lastly, they didn't clean out his kennel so he was in a small cement room without food or water, attached to his leash, and laying in his own poop and pee. I cannot emphasize how awful this place is. They couldn't do the bare minimum and apologize or give a reason as to why they didn't call us or respond to my emails. It was beyond unprofessional and considering this was about our dog who we love very much, the owner could've done ANYTHING to make this better but all he did was tell us he "didn't want to have a back and forth so we should leave the premises." Please please please if you care about your dog, take them ANYWHERE else. Literally anywhere. Leaving them at home alone would be better than leaving it with these incompetent, unapologetic boors. I can only pray that they will be shut down before they actually kill someone's dog.

Jose and Monique, owners and primary facilitators, provided exactly what I needed: a very…read morecontrolled, no-nonsense, small group environment to assist me, the handler, learn how to engage more effectively with my dog. They are a wealth of knowledge and I successfully implemented many of their suggestions. For example, a "softer" approach to the prong collar I was using, and better timing with the remote collar. I now realize I talk too much to my dog and should use more indirect, non-verbal "pressure" to communicate commands to my dog. Jose and Monique of JD Powerhouse offer a 6-week DIY Saturday afternoon basic obedience class. I enrolled to "refresh" my ability to "communicate with" or effectively handle my dog. I have participated in various obedience classes with my dog over the years, so my dog was somewhat trained. She's a 4-year-old, American Pit Bull Terrier, with no major behavior issues. Although, she did not like when other dogs barked at her (or me) and would react for short bursts until they passed us on our daily walks. Since my dog is a 70-pound, square-headed, somewhat muscular dog, she appeared the aggressor. Jose and Monique increased my confidence and ability to maintain quiet control of my dog during our neighborhood walks. As always, I needed the training, not my dog

I was referred to JD's by a colleague. I am so thankful. I was prepared to hear that Piper and I…read moreneeded all of this work and it would require their board and train but after meeting José and Monique, they quickly instilled confidence in me that Piper and I just needed to improve our communication and some basic skills. What I really appreciate in addition to their expertise, clear direction and upfront approach is that they didn't sell me on what I didn't need. José made it clear very quickly that it would not be the best use of money to board and train my dog, Piper. Instead, he offered me a customized package that would maximize the training and my money. That's badass. I have gone to other evaluations where trainers were trying to scare me into pick the most expensive package by over inflating the concerns I had. I left those feeling overwhelmed both by the price and by the evaluation itself. That is NOT the experience I had with José and Monique and it made the decision to choose them so easy. I highly recommend JD's Powerhouse K9 Bootcamp because you can trust that José and Monique truly care about helping you to be the best owner you can so your dog can trust you and be their best. I am quickly gaining confidence and I can see Piper is too. Also, as a side note, they are amazing humans. They do great work work shelter dogs and I know I've found my training home. Thank you so much to José, Monique and the rest of JD's Powerhouse K9 Bootcamp. You are the BEST!!!
