We had an amazing experience working with Madison Garcia at K9 Solutions with our Belgian Malinois, Halle. We initially came to Maddie for help with leash pulling, general obedience, reactivity, and separation anxiety, and we have seen such a positive improvement in every area. Halle immediately loved working with Maddie and was excited to train every day. Maddie has a warm, welcoming personality that made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She was patient, knowledgeable, and always took the time to answer our specific questions and address our individual concerns. One of the things we appreciated most was how clearly Maddie explained everything. She made the training easy to understand and gave us practical tools that we could continue using at home. We are so happy with Halle's progress and incredibly grateful for the confidence and skills Maddie has helped both Halle and us develop. Halle continues to go back to K9 Solutions for daycare, and we always feel completely confident leaving her in K9 Solutions care. It gives us such peace of mind knowing that Halle is safe, happy, and in caring, capable hands. Halle absolutely loves going back, which says so much about the positive environment Maddie and K9 Solutions has created across the board. We highly recommend Madison and K9Solutions to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and effective dog trainer. We couldn't be happier with the experience and the care Halle continues to receive! read more

The PAL puppy school has helped us socialize and train two puppies now ... The puppy wrangler trainers are professional, dedicated,, and fun -- and our puppies adore them! The school is just that -- organized and calm, not a free-for-all. It's a place you can trust. read more

This was a wonderful investment for me as a first time dog owner. I did the AKC STAR puppy classes which came with 6 private lessons and 2 half day PAL socialization sessions. Our trainer, Kelly was thorough and very knowledgeable. Going in, my puppy was very energetic, jumpy and all over the place. By the time we were done with our individualized classes, I felt so much more confident in my ability to care for him and keep him safe and felt like I was in so much more control. My puppy was super excited as soon as we turned into the parking lot each time, he loved Kelly and enjoyed the PAL program. I still continue to take him to PAL for their half day socialization when I can! I love knowing that the play time is supervised and they'll do what's necessary to ensure proper socialization! We definitely recommend K-Nine solutions!! read more

This review is long overdue. K-Nine provided the best foundation for my rescue pup and me. I worked with Eric and Madison and I cannot say enough good things about them. Super experienced, intuitive, clear, helpful, supportive, and genuinely cared about my dog, Samuel. They helped him get braver and they helped me figure out the best ways to support him. I wholeheartedly recommend K-Nine! read more

Many thanks to Eric Smith's K-Nine Solutions and their talented crew for accepting our dog Piper into a 4 week immersive training program, with Adam as our #1 trainer. We highly recommend K-Nine Solutions training services, and appreciate their attention & holistic approach that included a final training session at our house. Piper was perfect, we saw leaps and bounds in her demeanor & behavior within our own social backyard setting with neighbors and few friends, it was great! Our program was an inclusive building agenda that also sets out to train the owners as well. Clearly, it's a big investment & a long term commitment but well worth it. Our goal is to have us all communicating the same way - with us decidedly in the lead, and everyone more confident & calm. Piper, is a 4 year old female Bohemian Shepherd. She was a rescue pup and had become an overly reactive dog in public. Our trainer Adam was amazing with her (& us!) His first words to all of us were "Ahhhhh a Muzzler, I love Muzzlers!" - an apparent favorite staple of his for the last twenty years! Adam would take Piper home with him the full four weeks of her 24 hour training. He generously shared his family & his own dog with her every day, which is no small thing. Besides fearlessly taking Piper on with patience and enthusiasm, his animal behaviorist training has offered us a better understanding and insights into reading her emotional triggers. He's offered us a structured living approach that's in the nature of a working dog. He's been both very patience and encouraging with my husband Eric and I along the way. We are grateful. Piper is a smart & sweet working dog and needs the structure and clarity through repeated training to be relaxed and manageable and happy. We did not know how to always recognize & navigate the best methods to that end. Now we do. It's basically a two party proposition with us leading. If we work well, she works well. So we needed the boot camp training as much as Piper, and continue to train. We are all a work in progress, but they have set us all up for success and that's all new welcome territory for us! We look forward to ongoing pack walks with K-Nine, and are happy to know Eric Smith & Adam are there for the occasional tune ups as needed! read more

K-nine solutions is THE BEST investment we made for our terrier, Ginger! We did the 8 private lesson training with Madison (who I highly recommend, she is wonderful and Ginger loves her) and now Ginger is a completely different dog-- in the best way possible. She was extremely shy and completely untrained before we started training with K-nine, now she's a model dog! We have really enjoyed the Saturday morning "Pack Walks" included in the package. Everyone at the walks is so friendly and helpful, it it has been great exposure for Ginger who was very scared of others dogs. Thanks Eric and team! We will be recommending K-nine to all our friends and family. read more

Very professional, clean facility, great staff. We would be lost trying to train our dog,

This is quite possibly the best money we have EVER spent. This review is dedicated to all five people in Santa Barbara living on a budget, haha. Our one-year old retriever puppy was super destructive despite his heart of gold. We held out on training for so long because we didn't feel we could afford it. Finally, after two hospital visits (both from the puppy eating things he shouldn't have), we realized we could either spend the money on vet bills and replacing broken items OR we could invest in a well-behaved pup. After four weeks day training at K-Nine, our dog is almost unrecognizable; all of the good, none of the bad. He's almost entirely stopped jumping and counter surfing. He sits in place while we're cooking and eating. He has amazing recall off-leash at the beach. It's incredible. To Adam, Eric and everyone at K-Nine who helped us with Pismo, thank you. We are grateful. And if you are considering training at K-Nine, we highly recommend Adam. I was intimidated by him at first -- he's approximately 6'10 with a military background -- but I'm pretty sure that's part of what makes him a dog whisperer, haha. Dogs know he means business!!!! Our puppy worships him and we really enjoyed working with him. One additional note, in case it's helpful to anyone doubting: I had some real hesitation and anxiety about using the e-collar as we went into training. I got over that quickly. If you are worried about it, just know that our dog seems much HAPPIER now that we use it. He's eager to please and loves doing a good job, and now he actually understands how we want him to behave. It's given us clear communication with him - a language he understands. I am so glad I buckled up and went for it because it has made all the difference. read more

K-Nine is awesome! My spouse and I are first-time dog-owners, and didn't really know what we were doing. Justin and Maureen especially have worked with us to feel confident, and to grow together with our lil' fluffball. We've worked on basic obedience and leash training, and the foundation has helped us feel empowered to include the fluffball in all sorts of new activities in our life. I can't imagine where we'd be without training, but now our dog is happy and well-mannered, which is a great joy. Yay! read more

K-Nine Solutions Dog Training - Brewpub chilling. - Pet Training Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

We are so grateful to Eric and the crew at K-Nine Solutions. The pack walks have transformed our traumatized, reactive, fearful rescue to the confident, happy and well-socialized herding dog she was meant to be. And I am a much more confident leader and dog owner. The walks are structured to provide learning challenges in a safe and supportive way. We saw significant gains very quickly - within 2-3 pack walks. If you or your dog stress about interactions with other dogs - do this! It works! read more

Helloooooo K-Nine Solutions staff. Justin, you are one hellava trainer. "Dr Doolittle award." Our daughter brought her 2 year old lab mix rescue dog with aggressive and lunging behaviors to you guys a few months ago and wow. What an amazing behavior transformation you have done in just a few short months. Truly magical. I say 150% improvement. We couldn't believe it's the same dog. We walked him pass several dogs and only once did he make a whimpering noise. He use to pull and bark uncontrollably trying to get to any dogs within sight. Thanks again for your expertise and professionalism. Definitely 5 plus stars rating. read more

I came upon this place over Facebook. We booked a series of puppy classes and after 3 private classes our golden is so amazing. He responds to our commands and they are the most loving, caring trainers out there. Our Goldie is coming along with his basic manners and we owe it all to these guys. Thank you! BTW Natalie is awesome. So thankful for this business. read more

Eric Smith is a rare gem. He gave me such practical advice to use with my rescue dog companion -- advice that has worked better than anything I have tried or learned over the past 5 years! Eric is so knowledgeable, warm, helpful and generous. He was able to quickly pinpoint the problem area we were having with our pup and help us find solutions that fit our philosophy and exact situation. I have taken our dog to many classes and tried a variety of approaches to get to a solution for his sporadic aggression without any lasting change. It's rare to find an expert that can quickly get to the heart of the solution, give you the exact things to try that give you results - especially if it's a problem you've had for a long time like we have. Thank you Eric! I highly recommend him. read more

Eric and his team have transformed my pit bull mix, who jumped on people and pulled on her leash, into the sweetest, most well-behaved dog ever. I am extremely impressed with K-Nine Solutions and highly recommend them. read more

I am a first-time dog owner. Sherlock came into my life a bit unexpectedly. Within the first week, I realized that both Shelly and I needed some training. I still remember how flustered and stressed out I was when I went to K-nine for the first time. After the first consult, I was already thinking "ok, this is not as scary as it seems, we can figure this out". Sherlock and I went through the 8 class basic training with Karina. I can't say enough good things about her. Karina is AWESOME! First of all, I want to say that this was most definitely more of training for ME than for the pup. Sherlock picks up commands very quickly but then has a tendency to "negotiate" with me about how much of the command he really needs to complete. Karina picked up on this fact right away and worked with me to be persistent and patient with my pup. Karina actually listened to me and gave me useful advice. There were days when she politely underlined that my behavior had to be adjusted just as much as my pup's. I am very thankful for her criticism and guidance, it really helped me and my pup. Overall I totally recommend Karina! But I will say 2 things about the training program. First, the training is not cheap, but for me, it was worth it. I did appreciate the fact that Karina was flexible with scheduling and we completed our 8 classes over about 3 months which was the pace that worked for Sherlock and I. Second, I want to underline that this is a training for the owner as well as the dog, be prepared to work with your pup not just during classes but also at home. read more

Now four years later my dog Kobe is a great dog. It all started with Justin helping get us started on the right foot when Kobe was a puppy. Still some of the best money I've ever spent. I need to bring him by their shop as they haven't seen him in a long time. read more

Justin and his team are wonderful. The space is open and well supervised. I recommend for training, daycare and boarding. Worth the drive to Santa Ynez. read more

Eric and all of the trainers at K-Nine are truly the BEST! Henry graduated from his day-training program and my hope was that wherever we went together, I could count on Henry (with my consistent direction) to have good "manners!! The other day we went to the bank, a place that usually gets him amped up because he knows they have treats. There was a line and I had a few banking things to do so the errand was going to require Henry to be patient. The entire time Henry stayed at my side, sitting down or laying down when he figured the line wasn't moving. And this is what I couldn't believe: TWO (yes, TWO) different people came up to me and said, "What a beautiful dog! And he is so well-behaved! " One person said she wished her dog was so well-behaved and the other said she was going to tell her daughter about him! And both asked me where/who had trained him! And, remember I mentioned the bank treats? Well, when they asked me if my dog could have a treat, I said that yes, he could have a treat (he certainly deserved it!), but that he must sit nicely when they walked over to give him the treat. He was already doing that, but I knew the offer of the treat might distract his calm and relaxed demeanor. Well, except for a butt wiggle (and I think a bit of a butt wiggle is acceptable behavior), Henry once again demonstrated his new skills! The best part was that when we left the bank, and I told Henry just what a wonderful dog he was, I think he was really proud---he had a big smile on his face! I really believe Eric when he says that dogs are truly happier when they can just "chill out" (as Eric would say), knowing that someone else (me!) is taking care of everything! Thank you, Eric and Daniella and all of the wonderful trainers at K-Nine read more

I'm a volunteer at the Santa Barbara County Animal Services. I've had dogs all my life. It never would have occurred to me to get dog training lessons, but I had recently adopted a dog that had been in the shelter for just over a year, and probably because of trust issues we had a hard time with simple training. Sit, stay, come. And no pulling on the leash was a biggie for me, because SHREK is 75 pounds of pure muscle. Exasperated, I stumbled upon K9 Solutions website. I knew within the first 10 minutes of my consultation with them that they were expert in their field. Within 10 minutes of my first training lesson they had a solution to him pulling on the leash. My greatest hope would be that I would be able to have SHREK off leash to run and play with other dogs. But because of his breed, I'd have to be extra careful. Not because he is aggressive, because he is not. But because if another dog started something with him, he is strong enough to shut it down, and then he'd likely get the blame. There is a lot of prejudice regarding his breed. American Bulldog. I decided to purchase a training package. To be honest, it was more than I wanted to invest. My wallet felt it. However, the investment was just that. An investment in a happy, wholesome future for SHREK and me. Just this week, we practiced "come" at Elings park with other dogs and distractions around. I'm so proud to announce that my boy is doing great with coming to me when he is called. Still working on it though. Training will always be ongoing. The thing I got most from K9 Solutions was confidence. It turns out they were training me. I've gained tremendous insight about dogs in general, and terrific training for SHREK. I highly recommend K9 Solutions to everyone with a dog. It may be one lesson does the trick, or it may be like us, the full package is best. You can count on the team to steer you in the right direction. read more

WOW! I dropped off my sweet, nervous, shy 6-month old Cavalier off at puppy School (PALS) and only a few sessions in she is now a confident and happier girl. Prior to K-Nine Solutions, she had separation anxiety, fearful to approach dogs/people and especially triggered by dogs barking. Now she has confidence anywhere we go, which has been integral in her happiness. She especially LOVES to go to school - her best friends are without a doubt the K-Nine team! :) I am incredibly grateful to the whole team for helping her come out of her shell, which would have taken me months on my own and they did it in a week! They are attentive and positive teachers, we are lucky to have them in town. My sweet Elly now has the foundation needed to succeed! read more

Eric and Justin make a great team. Over the last 2 months they have patiently guided us in training our rambunctious boxer puppy. We reached out to them after realizing that not only did Bodhi need some training, but my fiance and I needed training as well. Bodhi didn't have any behavioral issues, but we just needed to get a good foundation of obedience In place. In addition to one on one training, Eric and Justin also organize weekly pack walks that are avaible to any of their students, past and present. It is great to see that they have been able to help so many families get their pets on the right track. I would highly recommend K-Nine Solutions for any level of training needed. You will not be disappointed! read more

I can't even begin to tell everyone how extremely wonderful Eric the dog trainer is. I happen to love the fact that he is from Boston also. If you think you can't teach an old dog (or two older dogs) new tricks, think again. My dogs are both pretty great, but I have had a few issues with one of them for a long time and did not actually believe I would ever be able to fix this howling thing one of them does. Guess what, Eric helped me and it was totally painless, easy and not crazy expensive. It was a pleasure to work with Eric and would recommend anyone with a dog that has any kind of major or minor issue to work with him. Eric is great with people and dogs. He does not oversell. He even checks up to make sure dogs and owners are doing well and welcomes feedback. I know that if I ever ran into any dog issues (I won't with my guys) that I can call Eric and he will be on it. SB is lucky to have such a wonderful person working with dogs and dog owners. Boom. read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Eric and Justin and the whole team of K-Nine Solutions. I came to them in tears, at my wits end, trying to make life work with my blind, strong-willed, anxious, fear-aggressive and reactive rescue pitbull. Albeit very sweet and loving, we were infinitely frustrated with each other and after 1.5 years together still hadn't found an effective way to communicate. We made huge strides almost immediately once we started working with K-Nine, and by the end of our 10 training sessions, he is truly a different dog! We now have a wonderful relationship, he is worlds happier and so am I! They really do mean any dog, any problem. Their grounded, clear, consistent approach really works. Oceans of gratitude for these guys. Call them, you won't regret it! read more

K-9 solutions is the real deal! I cannot thank Daniela the trainer and Eric the owner enough!! I rescued a 4 yr old German Shepard/ husky and before finding k-9 he was VERY reactive to other dogs and people. I worked with other dog trainers in the past and was told my dog was unfixable. Daniela did the impossible and completely transformed my dog! She is hands down the best dog trainer in Santa Barbara. Don't hesitate to call, they are the best!!! read more

This review is long overdue. I was desperate to find a dog trainer in the area and had trouble finding one who could start as quickly as I needed. I widened my search a little and came across Eric's entry here on Yelp. Although he only had 3 reviews at that time, his video and pictures and the 3 fairly recent (at the time) 5-star reviews sold me. Eric was incredibly responsive to all phone calls. He was able to meet right away as well. I know another company said that if someone can meet right away and take another client so quickly, then that's a sign of a poor business, but I think it's a sign of a business owner being organized enough and knowing how to arrange his schedule to accommodate new client needs. One of the best things about Eric is his demeanor. He's extremely nice and very calm. You could see his genuine love for dogs and after a just one session with them, I could see the dogs' genuine love for him! In terms of how well his techniques work -- it's amazing to watch him. As the other reviewers said, the dogs responded to his techniques almost immediately. It almost made me cry when I saw how the dogs were actually obeying someone, and they didn't look stressed or unhappy, they looked content to sit or walk the way a "good dog" would. We were very happy with Eric and would recommend him to anyone who needs help training their dogs. read more

The team at K-Nine Solutions is truly wonderful! We have been doing private training lessons with Val and attending the PAL (Play and Learn) puppy classes a couple times each week. My 5-month-old black lab, Harper, has already passed the AKC "Star Puppy" course and will have her evaluation for the "Canine Good Citizen" test next week. As a three time lab owner, I never imagined having a young puppy able to achieve so much so quickly. The entire K-Nine team knows Harper by name and they make us feel welcome every time we come in. They also have a new, huge facility that provides plenty of room for dogs and their people to learn together. Looking forward to continuing Harper's training with Eric and the team as she grows! read more

First off, Santa Barbara thanks Boston for letting us have Eric! I really don't even know where to start with this post. Eric has made ours and our dog's life so much better!! We adopted a terrier/poodle mix from DAWG about 1 month ago. He's such a sweet pup, but he also came to us with only 5% hearing. After about 1 week with us, he got comfortable and starting running our household! I've had a dog before so I figured I would be able to break him of the habits. No such luck at all. He was playful biting us constantly, biting the walls, shoes, anything he could find. We weren't sleeping through the night and life was getting pretty crazy. The first day Eric walked in our house our dog was acting completely different. With our dog being deaf we had to find a way to effectively communicate but not encourage the bad behavior or punish him. Eric introduced us to the "e collar" which we were very hesitant about at first. We got over that hesitation QUICK. It does not hurt our dog but is more like a "tap on the shoulder". I can't tell you how well our dog has responded to this! And you don't need to have a deaf dog for this collar, applies to all dogs. (we even wore the collar, you barely feel anything) After ONE month our dog is playing only with his dog toys (for the most part), sleeping through the night, trotting happily right next to us on walks, and only gives kisses instead of bites. I can't thank Eric enough!! Eric may be a little on the pricier side for the sessions, but they are private and worth their weight in gold. Spend the extra money now and I promise your life will be better down the road. THANK YOU Eric!! read more

We've had exactly two lessons and I'm already giving these guys 5 stars. You will never meet more knowledgable, kinder people in your life. They LOVE dogs. I like people who like dogs and I love that they are after happiness and health for our family. Both Eric and Justin are exceptionally talented at what they do and dogs gravitate toward them. They know good people when they see them and our dogs we've found are a better judge of character than we are. They make training fun, friendly and they don't make us feel bad when we have 1000 questions. They just offer us 1000 solutions. We referred friends of ours to Eric and Justin that has problems with their great danes and in two weeks, they've turned the situation right around for them. What had been a very stressful, awful situation turned in to a completely wonderful one and they are so so happy with the service they received and continue to receive. I cannot recommend these this company enough. And in case you're looking to do the AKC CGC and CGCA certifications, Eric does them! So this is your ones stop training shop! read more

Eric and his team are amazing. Their calm demeanor transfers to the dogs almost immediately. Just remember, they can work miracles with your dog but if you don't do what they instruct, you can undo everything. Be a responsible dog owner and follow through with their training of your pet and you will have a wonderful dog the rest of your life. read more

These guys are AMAZING! It's as if a trainer just looks at the dog and the dog just wants to please. First they train the dog, then they train the owner. Their packages are all inclusive and customized to each client and dog's needs. And, they're always available to help. "Patience. Consistency. Reinforcement. Reward. Nothing is for free." And now that they have their boarding ranch in Santa Ynez, they have become a one stop shop for anything dog. I would refer them to anyone with a dog. read more

Our pup was trained and is board in their outstanding facilities. She loves to go there and the staff is very professional. Great place!

We love Kninesolutions! We got two havanese puppies and we met with Justin before they arrived to prep us for our puppies. He was great helping set reasonable expectations. We have been meeting with him weekly for the past 6 weeks. Whenever we have problems with our puppies- mainly occasional accidents in house - it is because we weren't following Justin's recommendations. I can't imagine having a dog without doing this training. Our dogs are just 13weeks and already know their names and respond to "come", "sit" and "down". We've met other members of the Kninesolutions team and they are all great. We plan to keep training for at least a year. read more

Such a wonderful facility for boarding! Nothing else like it in Santa Barbara. Well trained and caring staff! Plus, so much space for the dogs to enjoy both indoors and outdoors. You can't go wrong. read more

When Eric came to our house to work with my family and our dogs. I knew immediately he knew what he was talking about. He could read our dogs like Cliff - Notes . It took him no time at all to access the problems, some I hadn't even thought of, and how to remedy them. He is not "just" a dog trainer. He is a canine and human behaviorist. He is worth his weight in gold. read more

My husband and I had not had a puppy in over a decade .. As cute as Emmy was she had managed to destroy our feet and hands in 4 short weeks - with her razor sharp teeth. A stranger on the beach suggested K-Nine Solutions for puppy socialization and training. I was doubtful a puppy class can do what we needed, but, without other choices at the moment we brought Emmy for PAL group at K-Nine Solutions. She was a little trepidatious as we left her - having not left her the four weeks we'd had her. But I was somewhat assured as the staff were smiling and seemed happy to be there.. When we picked her up all seemed ok, but, I thought for sure she wouldn't walk through those doors again... And, yet, the next morning, and every morning since, she has RUN into the building and has not looked back... AND - she's not biting anymore... AND she's listening... AND she's getting better on leash... AND she's happily exhausted. I whole heartedly recommend K-Nine Solutions and the wonderful staff!!!! read more

Remain as good as when I first reviewed! Maybe even better. I started with Otis (now just 1 year old Labradoodle) when he was just a little guy at 16 weeks. I finished 6 puppy lessons and then choose an additional 8 private lessons with them. I enjoy they have recently added "Trick Classes" for something new and fun for the dogs. Otis loves to learn new tricks, and it is also great socialization as class is CLASS, not play time for the dogs. We also continue to go on the weekly "Pack Walk" which is also great for both Otis and I. Otis is now AKC novice and advance good citizen dog! Thanks to the whole team, Eric, Justin, Maureen, and Karina! Danielle read more

Last year, my son brought "Logan", an adorable little lab mix puppy, home from college for summer break. I looked forward to puppy-sitting my new grandpuppy! Today I am still "puppy-sitting" (something about my son's landlord & the no-pet policy.....)...but the "puppy" is now 55 lbs of adoring energy! After two trips to the ER for puppy-related injuries, a friend suggested I give ERIC SMITH a call. I resisted, confident that I could certainly raise a dog after (somewhat) successfully raising 5 children. But then she told me he'd come by for a free assessment...and she made the appointment. The moment Eric walked into my house, I knew things were going to change. His mild, calm demeanor instantly made me, and Logan, feel comfortable. He spent some time getting to know us and our routines and then suggested we take Logan for a little walk. Within ten minutes, Eric had us walking at MY pace (not Logan's) & at my command (as opposed to my pleading). I loved every minute, and wanted more! Today, after about 5 lessons with Eric, I feel totally in control, confident, and proud of Logan and the bond we've built. Eric helped me understand Logan and communicate with him so we both understand each other's expectations. As a result, I completely enjoy my grand-dog's company and love the fact that he adores me! I thank Eric and his expertise (ERIC TRAINS DOGS!!!!) for all his guidance. We never could have done it without him! read more

Eric is an amazing dog trainer! Eric had a few sessions with some rescue dogs that where deemed dog aggressive, in one session he was able to show me that the dogs were not aggressive and explained why they may been labelled that way. He worked with the dogs and had them all playing at the end of the session. Eric came for another session on how to stop a dog from cage fighting ( in her kennel) after that day and the lesson I received she no longer was a cage fighter! Eric gave me so much knowledge on dog behavior that I have used and can work with my rescues with confidence! Eric is by far the best trainer I have hired, I have referred Eric any chance I get knowing that he will solve any problem he encounters, he has a gift and I am so happy he is sharing it! Thank you Eric! read more
