i Sent my dog for 3 week in house training. When I got him back he was still exhibiting all the behaviors that I asked them to correct. No change at all. Not sure what they did with him for 3 weeks but it wasn't training. Big waste of money. Do not use them. They do not know how to train a dog. read more

Leaving our Bubba with Jevry for three short weeks was the best thing we could have done!!!! We were considering rehoming him as he was having a lot of difficulty with being introduced to new people. He came home our same lovable, energetic boy - but well trained, more calm, less loud or aggressive, able to walk loose leash and be in public spaces with strangers and other dogs without being crazy!!! Thank you!!!! Jevry is an AMAZING dog (and human) trainer. read more

K9 Command - Pet Training Near Me

Our 2 year-old formerly wild child golden retriever Yeti completed his 3 week board and train with trainer Sami 5 weeks ago. We were SO thrilled with his progress that we booked our 11 year-old golden Komodo for a 4 session training program with Sami to teach him the same obedience, basic manners, loose-leash, and recall skills. I'm excited to report that Komodo graduated with flying colors yesterday and we also learned so much in the process! Thanks to Sami and K9 Command's balanced training, David and I learned the skills needed to effectively train our dogs and help them live their best lives! Yeti used to bark at everything. People, dogs, animals on tv, and more. His lunging and barking would scare people away, including our extended families. Komodo also started picking up Yeti's bad habits - not listening, leash tugging, and excessive barking. Nothing was working, and we became really limited in where we could go with the dogs and who we could be with. We've seriously done more together in these past few weeks since Yeti and Komodo's training than we have in all of Yeti's life! Now we take the dogs to restaurants and shops, our soccer games, hikes, paddle boarding, family events, and more! Our 6 year-old nephew used to be afraid of Yeti and all dogs in general. Today we brought the dogs to his birthday party, and he kept saying over and over "Yeti's so well trained!" He even enjoyed playing fetch with him and petting them both while they calmly sat in a room filled with tons of kids and activity! I can't tell you how many times people came up to us saying what "good boys" the dogs were as well. :) Sami, you are an incredible trainer and thank you, thank you, thank you, for truly changing our lives! We are so grateful! read more

K9 Command - Komodo's graduation day! Yeti on the left, Komodo on the right :) - Pet Training Near Me

We rescued a Staffie from Houston 3 years ago. He was about 1 and full of issues! He lacked confidence and was afraid of everything. After a couple years of worsening separation anxiety, being a jerk to other dogs, not being able to sit still, pulling like crazy on a leash and never being able to go out with us, we decided it was time to jump in and see if we could improve his confidence, training and life!! After 4 weeks of board and train with K9 Command, our pup is a new man!! We have learned so much about why he had some of those behaviors, how we were perpetuating some of them and how to move forward with the ongoing learning for all of us!! Josh and Sami have been fantastic and really care about our doggo!! You can just tell! Can't recommend doing this enough!! We're sorry we waited so long to do it! read more

K9 Command - Murphy settling into "place". Something that was impossible a few weeks before - Pet Training Near Me

My review is regarding their customer service (or lack thereof). I reached out via their website contact form, set up a consultation for February 4th. Spoke to a representative for roughly an hour. The person we spoke with was very nice but had never been a dog trainer. He said he had worked at a dog day care, which was a bit odd considering we were calling about training and not daycare. But the issue was mostly that any of the questions I asked, he said he would have to talk to the trainer/owner and get back to me. Well, I never heard back. He said he'd get back to me that following Monday... which would've been 2/7/22... It's been well over a month and I haven't heard anything. Which is pretty disappointing and bad customer service considering I was quoted $7350 for my two dogs. As someone who really values good training and has put my two dogs in 3-4 week training programs before, this is disappointing because communication and alignment with your dog trainer is key. read more

Finally decided to do the 4 weeks training $4100 for my dog. Sent them an email Friday 2/14/2020 it's now 5 days later 2/19/2020 no response. Even if they're busy...I mean let's be real a customer offers to pay $4100 for a service and you can't even send an email follow. Not worth my time or money. It's probably a sign of how things would have gone. You all can take the risk but not worth my leaving my family pet with. read more

I am so grateful for Jevry and K9 Command! I can finally walk my Mini Aussie in public with ease. Before K9 Command's Walk Doctor, my dog would be all over the place during walks. She was reactive to dogs passing by, even dogs across the street, and she would want to jump on every person to say hi. The constant barking and pulling was an issue to the point that I did my best to avoid as many distractions as possible during walks. I tried a lot of things to help make walking bearable, like using a front clip harness, avoiding people and their dogs, blocking her view, distracting her with treats or a toy... it just did not work. However, in just two short sessions of the Walk Doctor with Jevry, my Aussie transformed. She can finally walk next to me without reacting to what's about to pass by and she's less anxious overall - and I'm less anxious. Jevry is an excellent and knowledgeable trainer who produces results! I highly recommend her services to anyone. read more

We were having a lot of problems with our year old husky puppy Moose before we sent him to K9 Command for a three week period. He was jumping on house guests, scared and distracted on walks and was struggling with listening to us. When we got him back, he still had his adorable and curious personality, but he now understood our expectations of his behavior. On top of everything, she livestreamed much of his training so we could see how he was doing but also learn how to be better owners ourselves. Like how to build his confidence: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/492074660 Jev had Moose for his first birthday during their training, and she bought him a dog cake and had a little party for him. She really took good care of our pup like he was her own. We loved having Jev training Moose and that we got to experience the training through livestreaming made it all the better for us. Highly recommend K9 Command :) read more

I had gotten to the edge of where I could take my dog's training. For years. Walking him was a struggle. He pulled (75lb of pure muscle) constantly. He also reacted to every dog, car, squirrel, leaf, etc. on the walk. I was frustrated and exhausted by the end of each walk. So, we didn't walk much. After Raylynn took my emotional pup (he pouted for a week or so, normal for him) for a month, she taught my boy that he doesn't have to be crazy on walks. She also taught me how to take the lead and help him know what I want. Walks (and even *gasp* jogs) are not only possible, but fun for both of us! Thanks so much for your help with my boy! read more

My husband and I hired Jevry to help us with our 50 lb male dog Leto. He is a very nervous dog and expresses it through aggression. He is dog and human aggressive. He hasn't bitten any humans but has tried and has a history of dog fighting. The first session was great. My dog responded well and the use of the prong collar seemed easy and humane. We did our homework every day 10 minutes a day, plus a walk. We also transferred what we learned to our female dog with no issue. The second session however, Jevry basically choked my dog out with a prong collar for about five minutes. She tried to get him to lay down and when he didn't she tightened the pronge collar by removing two links and then used her foot as a leverage point so that she could create a doward force with his leash and collar. When he yelped, pooped himself and tried to bite her boot out of pain she had me muzzle him. Jevry then proceeded to try and force him to lay down without any verbal command given. He fought her hard but finally gave into laying down. After she left our home our dog had a partially prolapsed eye, a cut on his right, rear paw, a bloody tounge and a limp. He can't sit down due to pain and is so confused about what we want from him. He has been set back almost three weeks in terms of aggression toward strangers and trust in our leadership. This experience was not what I expected. I did not expect a professional dog trainer to do what she did. It was aweful to watch and probably even more aweful to be the one with the collar on. I don't even know how I feel about the prong collar anymore either. At first it seemed like such an amazing tool but now I'm afraid to use it with my dog for fear of him being too scared to enjoy walking or respond to training. During session one it worked and helped me communicate with my dog but then I saw what it was capable of when used the way I saw Jevry use it. Do your research about prong collars and decide for yourself but for us this particular use (tightening and holding the collar for long periods of time) was over the top aggressive and doesn't work for us. We have asked for a refund of the sessions that Jevry has not booked out for us yet. We are hoping she does the right thing and helps us pay to hire a different trainer and a possible vet visit to address our dogs eye. Response to Jevry: I understand you had to use a muzzle to prevent him from biting you. I have no problem muzzling my dogs if needed. However, he did not start biting until the constant downward force was applied to his neck. It went from being asked to lay down to him being pulled to the ground with no warning. I feel like he also received no reset after being muzzled and having two links taken out of his collar which reduced his collar from a 3/4 (which is the length that you recommended for him) to 2/3. When we did the sits he tried to bite multiple time and he was corrected with the compressed air and not by holding. You also told me on Sunday that at first you start with a hold if the dog does not comply with a given "down" command so that the dog learns the consequence and to make a hand pop easier. As for the injuries he sustained, you told us that eye injuries like the one Leto has is normal. Are you telling me that you normally use muzzle clips that hit dogs in the eye hard enough to prolapse an eyeball? Is it normal for the dogs you train to have prolapsed eyes after a session of training? At no point did I ever want to cause physical pain or injury to my dog. His eye is partially prolapsed and he is in obvious pain. I simply want my dog to live a happy, healthy and anxiety free life. As for the type of training we will seek out, it will be based in the latest dog behavioral science and whatever comes with that. We would like to proceed with seeking another trainer and a refund. read more

Ok so I can only speak on my experience which isn't much I contacted them thru their website setting up a call on a specific date and time and they confirmed it with me a day or two in advance. Great the day comes no call I text them back they apologize and set up another time and the day comes no call. I assumed they would call me I guess I was wrong. I thought about clarifying it with another text because usually if a call is set up the business calls you not the other way around. No malice here just letting people know what happened to me. read more

Had a troubled 3 year old pitbull mix who didn't want to walk nicely on the leash. Twenty minutes and a prong collar dance later, no issues walking nicely! Was able to transfer this training over to my younger one and what a simple, effective technique it is! Jevry is professional and seems to be a dog whisperer. She is firm, yet my dogs can't get enough of her. Probably the structure she provides makes them love her more. After all, all dogs just want a leader. Highly recommended. Don't give your dogs up! Give jevry a chance to save your furry family! read more

Best of the very best in dog training! Very knowledgeable, well experienced, professional, excellent in dog training. Highly recommend these wonderful dog trainers. read more

Jevry is amazing. My daughter adopted a dog that was abused. A pit bull. I was terrified of this dog and it needed some serious training. I was afraid the dog was too far gone and that no one would be able to train her or be willing to. After a month with Jevry this is a much improved dog. My daughter is coming home over Christmas break and I'm looking forward to meeting the dog that wouldn't even let me approach her without looking like she would hurt me if she got loose. I'll update my review after I meet Ellie the pit bull post training. read more

I would give them 0 stars if I could. Awful training, victimizing the dogs shes supposed to be training and makes the owners feel awful. No compassion, and the worst part, they used shock and prong collars on my dog at the same time as a "training" teqnique. She lied to me and said my dog was calm. I later found out how disgusting and abusive this lie was. She will lie and tell you your dog is calm when in reality the dog is terrified and is experiencing learned helplessness. I would never reccomend this place to anyone, there are hundreds of wonderful trainers who have all the love and compassion for your fur baby, this is not one. read more

Would highly recommend Allisha! K9 command has been such a life saver for us. We went from 2 crazy Covid puppies to 2 well behaved labs we couldn't love more. Before board & train we had stressful walks and no recall. After training we can trust our dogs to enjoy themselves outside without the fear of running away or pulling us down the street. Allisha is so knowledgeable, cares about our dogs and is always reliable when we have questions! Our dogs are family for us and I trust this team to take care of them as family too. We have also used Allisha for boarding when we need to leave them behind and our dogs are always so excited to go. The peace of mind Allisha has provided us is priceless! read more

My dog Crumbles, a 1.5 year old Pomeranian, worked with Joshua during a 3 week board and train. Before sending him here I had worked with a positive reinforcement trainer only and was using counter-conditioning with treats to help his reactivity with dogs, some people, and runners (on and off leash). He also struggled with demand barking, needing to be included in everything I did (I couldn't even hug my partner without Crumbles getting aggravated!), and barking non-stop in the car and after I left. I'm so glad I looked into other training modalities, and feel as if K9 command works to see what training method works best for the individual dog. I feel like I have my life back and Crumbles is learning how to entertain himself/feel secure being alone. They helped me realize he was being dominant by default, and now there are clear boundaries in my relationship with my dog. Sending him here taught me that many dogs need structure and firm leadership to succeed and feel safe. Having him at the K9 Command house allowed him to receive the socialization he never got, but in a highly structured environment. They taught me how to use an e collar and prong collar properly too, and when they came for the in-home drop off lesson, I felt a lot less nervous about using those tools. I now get to take him to busy parks, don't have to worry about him barking randomly at my roommates, and can have conversations with friends on the street while walking him. I can't wait to utilize my free follow up lesson and lifetime support!! read more

I took one look at my dog Ellie in the shelter and knew she was the one for me. What I didn't know was that she was abused and highly reactive towards everything. Wanting to be the best parent for Ellie as I could, I realized I was unprepared to give her the help she needed. K9 Command went and still goes above and beyond for Ellie and I and changed our lives. Ellie is a completely different dog after training and she is finally living her best life. I owe my wonderful life with my best friend to K9 Command. read more

We are so thankful to Jevry and K9 Command. We needed help with learning how to provide structure and work through some concerning behaviors out 1 year Shepherd-mix had started to show. He now is the best walker, so obedient, and he is much happier having structure and much less anxious. I am still so impressed how quickly he improved once we knew how to communicate! I would recommend K9 Command to anyone who had training needs. read more

Elsa, a 3 year old miniature schnauzer went to boarding school to focus on sit commands, recall, and dog/children reactivity. We can't thank Jevry enough for helping Elsa learn her manners and boundaries. 6 weeks after "boarding school" Elsa is still able to auto sit, sit without releasing, and behave around dogs and small children. We will be repeat clients to Jevry as she is a well rounded dog trainer. read more

Best investment I've made. Jevry did an awesome job with my pup. She took extra time and went a above and beyond really helping out my dog in areas she struggled. She was very anxious and hard to settle down making it hard for her to keep herself accountable. She would constantly whine and wouldn't listen outside of our home. She now knows and holds all her commands including new ones and with just slight corrections is exceeding our expectations. I highly recommend using K9 command for your training needs. They are able to get to know your dog and are able to pinpoint there individual needs to help target unwanted behavior. We now feel confident and are more trusting with her. She gave us the tools we need to help better our bond and relationship with our dog in order to keep a well balanced mindset not only for her but for us. We look forward to enjoying our dog in new places and really working with her to be the best dog she can be. Thank you K9 Command. read more

I couldn't be happier with the outcome of the 4 week board and train with K9 Command and Jevry. Max is a 3 year old Pitbull that was reactive when people would try to pet him and overly excited on walks (Lunging to the end of the leash). Max stayed with Jevry at her house where she taught him many commands and helped to build his confidence in new situations. Max had anxiety when in busy areas. Jevry brought and trained Max at Green Lake often. This was so helpful for us because now he is able to go to parks and to other busy areas. For the first time in years we are able to have a relaxed dog that listens to our commands. The commands that Max learned is sit and stay in place, lay down and stay, stay on cot until told command to be released, auto sit while walking and walk next to my side. All these commands have been very helpful when trying to provide structure in crowded areas or when new people are at my house. Max no longer barks at every person that passes by our house. I also had not been able to have people over to our house because of Max's fear of new people. Thanks to this training, I am now able to confidently bring new people around Max. I could tell from the updates and the condition of Max when he returned home that he was well taken care of and in a safe place. Jevry is very good at what she does and this experience was worth every penny. read more

This program was life changing for us and our dog Poncho, who struggled with anxiety and fear-based aggression. Before coming to K9 Command, our pup had attacked a dog unprovoked and had bitten several times - we didn't know if we'd be able to keep him in our family... after a 4-week board and train program, Poncho is responsive to our commands and no longer poses a threat to those around him because we know how to mitigate his anxious/protective tendencies. Overall, he is a happier, more balanced dog, who responds incredibly well to us. My husband and I couldn't be more grateful for these tools - thank you Jevry and Joshua!! read more

I cannot recommend Jevry and Joshua at K9 Command enough! We have a very anxious German Shepherd mix who was reactive to all dogs and cats when on leash. She would also attack the fence and windows at our house whenever she thought another dog was outside. After trying positive reinforcement training only for the first 2 years of her life with little, if any difference, we finally got fed up and did research on other options. K9 Command is who we ended up deciding to work with and the results have been amazing! We now can walk past other dogs on the sidewalk with no reaction (used to have to cross the street), she doesn't bark at dogs walking by outside the house and she is calmer in general. We used to think she had this insane amount of energy, but I believe that was her anxiety. At training they teach the dogs to walk appropriately on lead and while this was never a huge issue for us, it is so nice to have your dog walk calmly next to you and sit when you stop. She doesn't even try to chase squirrels anymore! Also, they teach the dogs the "place" command which has been a lifesaver. Our friends come over and she always used to run up and jump on them. Now we have her in "place" when people come over and she stays there until we release her. It is amazing and our guests really appreciate it! Our friends and neighbors comment on how incredible the transformation is. She really seems like a happier dog now, and we love being able to take her places with us without worrying that she will bark and lunge at other dogs! read more

I can not express enough gratitude for Jevry and all of the information and training skills she has shared with me and my Bruno! Bruno spent 2 weeks at board and train with Jevry and I was very nervous about sending him away. I was skeptical about the training process and of course the cost! But it has been worth every dollar! Before training I couldn't bring Bruno for walks or take him in the car because he would pull me in every direction (he is 80+ lbs) and would show aggression towards dogs people even kids and at home he thought he was the boss and wouldn't listen to anything. He's a big sweetheart with me but it got to the point where I couldn't bring him anywhere.. I made a tough choice to take a step to give him a better life and Jevry made that possible for us she takes training serious and is very informative she helped me see where I was making mistakes and even shared a book with me (The good dog way) that made me see my mistakes as a dog-mom! She helped me and my bruns to have a better life together and she continues to answer all my questions and share her knowledge with us we still have work to do with Bruno but I am confident that Jevry will help us get to where we want to be! I would recommend Jevry to anyone!! read more
