When I get lucky...I get LUCKY! I found this amazing group…read moreof people off of Yelp, and the 5 Star rating is 100% deserved. I have two pups: Archie and Charlie. I want the best for my puppies, so I asked so many different people where and how they trained their dogs. I received a few suggestions, but decided to do my own search...and I'm glad I did. Leo (Owner) and his amazing team of trainers TRULY care about the pups they train. Leo came to my home and wanted to meet me and my pups before I had to decide on making any decisions. After sitting down with him for about half an hour, I knew I found what I was looking for: Someone who wants me to have healthy and happy dogs. I signed up for the in-home training at first which is Leo coming to the house and training me on how to train my puppies (Archie and Charlie just turned 6 months and started with Leo and his team when they were 4.5). Very quickly, I realized I could not handle training both these puppies the way they needed to be trained. I discussed with Leo and decided to do a Board & Train. I like the schedule because I get to take the puppies on the weekends to spend time with me. Don't get me wrong, you NEED to train your pups on the weekends, but it's worth it and FUN. Archie has become the Puppy King (no offense to other puppies or their owners )). Charlie has a lot more energy, but has improved immensely! Leo's trainers are so caring. I feel my dogs get love with their training when they're not with me, and I couldn't ask for more. I see their excitement whenever I visit about improvements and milestones that Archie and Charlie achieved. They gleam with as much pride as I do. I honestly don't know where my pups OR I would be without the help of this AMAZING Team! If I could give 10 stars out of 5 stars, I would!

A week after we brought our adopted pitbull puppy home, we felt completely helpless when she…read morestarted peeing in the house, biting everything, crying in the crate nonstop, etc. We reached out to a few dog trainers on Yelp and Kelev K9 replied right away. A few minutes later Leo called us and asked questions about the situation. Some basic tips he gave us over the phone saved our sanity until he came to our house a few days later for a free consultation. The consultation made it clear how experienced and passionate Leo is about dog training, so we decided to sign with him that same day. After one session we felt much more confident in training our dog and saw the "light at the end of the tunnel". Over the past 5 months and four training sessions, we have seen day and night improvement in her behavior. If you feel lost and out of control with how to train your dog or want to continue their training, Kelev K9 should be your first call. Leo is always ready to help out with any questions or concerns we have by text or phone call. Pricing is also extremely fair and was a worthwhile investment for us because we have our sanity back and have bonded so deeply with our dog through training. Thank you so much Leo, Breanna, and the whole team at Kelev K-9!

Bark Busters is a great find! $1595 for unlimited sessions for your dogs lifetime ($200 for…read moreadditional dog). Definitely the cheapest dog training I've found out there. Apparently their business is in 3 different countries so you'll still be able to continue the training if you move someplace else. Stephanie is a wonderful trainer with Bark Buster. During our initial meeting, she explained my dogs' behaviors clearly and how I could address them better so they understand. I wasn't expecting such fast results, but my walk with them the next morning was unbelievable. For context, I have a 3 y/o M Doberman/Husky (neutered) with attention seeking & hyperactive issues. He's aggressive with other dogs & people on walks, and pulls hard on the leash. My other dog is a 2 y/o M Malitpoo (neutered) who barks at everything inside & outside the house. For the first time ever, using the tools & tips from Stephanie, my D/H was looking at me & walking by my side the entire time. We came up on 3 individuals with big dogs on separate occasions , but my dogs actually listened to me to sit and they just stared at me as the dogs passed them. although they saw the other dogs, they remained calm (no tensed bodies & pointy hair) and didn't bark. My D/H is still learning, but from that walk I knew I chose the right trainer for my dog. Can't wait to see how much more my dogs improve so they can truly enjoy their life to the fullest.

Our new rescue dog started to get aggressive on the leash and bark more every day. But once Steph…read morecame over and taught us some strategies, our dog quickly transformed. I mean it - we saw a tiny change after the first day alone, then after a full week of consistent training, he was less reactive on the leash, less barky, and just seemed generally more relaxed/less afraid. Our older dog has even shaped up, too! Steph has made our lives so much easier, and we're all calmer for it!! 10/10

I really wanted to get him trained so that he stopped pulling on the leash because I'm pregnant and I've had enough of him almost pulling me over when he gets excited or decides he wants to veer in a direction other than where I'm heading. I called multiple dog trainers who also said Leroy would need a training program for 12 weeks or an intensive doggy boot camp for 10 day or more. Prices ranged between $1,200 - 3,000. I called Duane who said he can help me in one private session. I was surprised, excited, and a little skeptical. He got me in right away which was also fantastic. We show up for our training and Duane met us outside and gave us a lesson in doggy obedience. He then proceeded to give Leroy the beat down of his life. A necessary one, he needed to learn how to listen. Huskies are notorious babies and extravagant drama queens. Poor Leroy, he howled and cried like the memes you see online. I felt bad for the neighbors. It was painful to watch but I definitely felt that Duane knew what he was doing and he wasn't hurting him. It was an intense hour. Was it worth it? Yes! I finally got the husky that no longer pulls on the leash. It's been the best thing ever and I'm so glad we did it. Thank you so much!

It's been over 3 years since applying Duane's training principles and our pup is considered one of…read morethe best behaved dogs our friends and family know. We've even shared with friends and family and the process works when the time and commitment is put into practice. Our dog is the best listener, doesn't jump on furniture or people unless given permission and is really wonderful with our toddler. Our toddler even gives our dogs instructions for when to eat her food and to sit and give permission before taking a treat. Thanks so much Duane! I know we don't communicate at all since our last training but wanted to let you know we appreciate all of your guidance which lives on here and is shared with others. You're the best!

People who know me know I'm serious about training my dog and giving it structure, discipline and…read morealso having fun! I enrolled my dog Jack in the Beginner's class at J9s K9s after researching all the local training options. I called to learn more and was impressed by Janine's professionalism. She is a wealth of knowledge. The group class settings were actually a good fit for my dog who was exhibiting over-excitement when he saw other dogs and squirrels. He would jump around on his hind legs and make panting sounds. It helped Jack practice obedience while there were other distractions, namely other dogs nearby in the class. They have these handy dividers with curtains to help control some of the over-stimulated dogs and the trainers typically have an assistant to help out too. They are good about giving them peanut butter/cheese bones to distract them and will redirect owners/dogs when needed etc. We enjoyed the class and learned quite a bit. The "power recall" and "leave it" were great take-aways. At the end of every class, we got a summary and homework sheet, which was great. Janine always returned my phone calls whenever I was concerned about my dog Jack's issues and gave great training suggestions. I think they offer lifetime phone consultations. Although Jack still has other issues, he is better, but only through diligent leadership and work with him. He is great around other dogs now. I recommend the group classes if you have a fairly well-balanced dog, but are looking for games and obedience commands!

Class offerings are diverse and range from beginner through advanced, masters & Ph.D, street smarts, wilderness walks, freestyle, agility, beach camp, snow dogs, and mountain camp to mention a few. I've been training my 8 yr old precocious border collie mix at J9's for over 3 years since we rescued him. Although my dog is not perfect, he's now a very manageable companion that we can take virtually anywhere. He walks well on leash and generally pays attention to us rather than other dogs or people. As a bonus, we have made wonderful friends at J9'sK9s and enjoy being in the company of others who are equally devoted to their dogs and have fun doing so.

Dobermans are very single-person, family-oriented dogs, and Roma in particular is always wary of…read morestrangers. It took her 6 months to be okay with my sister-in-law So when I say she grew to love our trainer Sasha, that means something. We say Sasha's name and Roma looks around for her! When we started, Roma was very anxious and nervous, with few ways of calming down in chaotic or packed areas. She was also a picky eater and had some reactivity. Sasha worked with us for 3 months and taught us so much. She guided us through each scenario, showed us we should have more confidence in Roma, and set us up with a system of tools, exercises, and mindset to empower her. Roma was nervous with the team at first, but by the 3rd month she fully trusted them. Now Roma is learning to stay in place and ignore people and dogs, and she's more confident in crowded areas. She's no longer picky with food either. We learned it's okay for her to skip a meal instead of bribing her with cheese. It's not the end of the world! If you have an anxious dog, take the leap. Ask a bunch of questions, come in with an open mind, and put in the work on the exercises and homework. We couldn't have done it ourselves with our busy schedule.

Overall great experience! We were referred to K9 Logic by a friend who also found success with…read moreChris's team in training her pitbull puppy. After a consultation at the residence-turned-dog-training-facilty we decided on the 3 week boarding program. We boarded our Maltipoo pup, Remy, during the peak of teething-destory everything era while we were out of town for wedding. The trainers were really great and patient with him. You could have also tell Remy was very comfortable with them. When we picked up Remy he was happy, healthy and very excited to see us. He also exhibited more attention and checked in with us more. Pulling on the leash became non-existent and his new default is now to sit in a heel position. The only improvement I'd suggest is that I wish I received more updates regarding Remy while he was boarded. We received a photo and say a couple of videos on Instagram, but more would have been welcomed. Regardless, we're happy with the training and the additional homework/tips to practice while at home. Remy continues to be a regular at the group trainings and other outings hosted by K9 Logic. I feel comfortable with my pup socializing with different dogs in the presence of the K9 Logic team.

Great dog trainers!!!…read more I have been around Juan and Jessica for years and it has always been a pleasure to work and talk with them. I can always count on them to board my dog and know that he is taken care. They are caring and compassionate people with a true passion for training that really shows in their work with their clients and their beloved dogs. They treat your dog like family and always respond with updates when asked in a prompt manner. They also treat their clients like family and are incredibly understanding about last minute arrangements and changes of plans. If you need a top notch dog trainer, look no further.

However, I've had consistent issues with scheduling and communication. Appointments have started late, and I've had to follow up multiple times just to book sessions. While I understood being charged for a missed appointment, I've also had to remind staff about payments and encountered difficulty getting responses--most recently calling twice without securing a booking. The training itself is strong, but the administrative side needs improvement, as it impacts the overall experience and business I hope this feedback reaches the trainer directly. Thank you for taking the time to review my concerns. Due to these multiple issues, I will be finding a new Trainer. My dog will be very sad. She very much loves her Trainer.
