    Well mannered doggo out and about in Half Moon Bay. Showing of his skills he was trained.

    I gave K9 development a five if there was a 100 I would do the same. I can't begin to rave about this place. They transformed my dog Majer into a well-mannered boy. We love the place so much and everyone there that our second doberman will be attending board and train in a couple of months. I love this place so much that I pay the extra money for them to be boarded and/or daycare because I trust them and the doggies love it there. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

    AWARENESS: I learned about K9 Development a few years ago when my daughter brought her dog here to have Jack help with service animal training. Fast forward to today. I'm here to see Jack, who will be helping me to train my new puppy to help combat my on going PTSD issues. NARRATIVE: I can only write this review about my interactions with Jack, since he has been the only person I've had direct contact with. Jack is a true professional (aka: Dog Whisperer). My first visit with him with my pup was an indoctrination meeting. Basically, I sat and Jack watched how my dog dealt new surroundings and some unexpected, never had my seen before items. During the hour interaction with both my dog and I, Jack asked questions and gave me tips on how I can start getting my pup to reach the goals I expect and wish her to perform. Jack is patient. Attentive and like myself, gruff. I like that! SCENE: K9 Development is located in rural Tracy, off of Hansen Road, behind the Safeway distribution warehouse. The road getting to Jack and Amy's is a compacted gravel road with speed bumps along the way. The maximum speed limit is 10 miles per hour. No rooster tails unless you wish to find out what I mean when I say Jack can be gruff. RECOMMENDATION(S): Like I stated, I can only speak for my interactions with Jack which thus far have been fantastic. I have talked to other dog owners who have taken their dogs to see Amy for training. Those conversations were all of phrase too. If you're in need of dog training, boarding or supplies, go see the folks at K9 Development. I'd recommend it.

    This is a long overdue review for an outstanding business. Our wild but loving dog cobra was running off and not listening to us. All dog owners want a dog that has consistent recall. Cobra had been to another facility on several occasions, but we didn't feel like we got the customer service we deserved and the training was not showing. I found K9 development, and instantly felt a difference from the first phone call. They are very responsiveness and it seems they genuinely care about your dog and your individual goals. They definitely are not the cheapest when it comes to board and train, but you get what you pay for here. When we picked cobra up after a two week board and train, he was able to go off leash. They didn't even promise off leash in two weeks but he was a different dog. His life is better and so is ours! Thank you K9 development!!!

    Khan loves K9 Development in Tracy!

    Awhile back my wife was searching for a suitable and capable training facility for our Australian Kelpie, Khan! He is a 3 year old rescue from the Tracy Animal Shelter. Kelpie's are naturally very active. They love to play and jump! But Khan spent some time on the streets before he was rescued and it was obvious early on he had some behavior issues and would need training. We found K9 Development in Tracy, CA. Their facility and staff is truly AMAZING!!! They embraced the opportunity to help train Khan and thus far have done an INCREDIBLE job!!! We enrolled him in private lessons at first, and then joined a group training class. I honestly didn't think he would come this far in this short a period of time. It's nothing short of a miracle in my opinion. We are following through with everything we have learned at home and he is responding. Amy is the head trainer/part owner and she ROCKS! Khan loves seeing her and she loves working with Khan. We do not hesitate to give K9 Development a 5-star rating. Thank you all so much!

We have done training before, but this is a specific issue we needed to address, so we looked around and found Wendy's website, and read the Yelp review. She was responsive to my calls and we set up a training date. During the call to set up the training, she made clear she uses positive reward training, which is what we wanted. We don't believe in yelling at the dog or shocking her and freaking her out. We had the training at my sister in laws, because that's where the problem happens, and also so my SIL could get in on how to fix the problem. Wendy was gentle, funny, pleasant, and most of all, knew her stuff. She put together a plan that we can follow, and sent a written report to my email, with all the steps, so we can remember what we are supposed to do. She spent almost 2 hours with us, longer than we expected. She's also a lot of fun and that makes the experience much more enjoyable for the dog and humans. I recommend Wendy if your dog has a problem behavior that needs some work. Some of it is training the human, and Wendy's good natured approach goes a long way in accomplishing that, and some of it is training the dog, and she knows how to give the tools to do that. Wendy is a great dog trainer.

Her attitude was disgusting, and the way she spoke to me made it clear she has no respect for pet parents. Please do not send your babies here -- I honestly worry about how they might treat the pets when owners aren't around. I had a 10:30 appointment and even confirmed the day before, asking them to note that I would arrive closer to 10:45 because of a doctor's appointment. The person on the phone said yes, but clearly never bothered to make a note. At 10:35 I got a call accusing me of being late, and Jasmyne made it very clear that if I wasn't there by 10:45, they wouldn't take my dog. At exactly 10:45, I got an email saying my appointment was canceled. I rushed, arrived at 10:48 -- just THREE minutes later -- and Jasmyne flat out refused to take my dog in, with a nasty attitude to my face. This is NOT how you treat paying customers or their pets. Absolutely unprofessional and heartless. I will never bring my dog here again and strongly warn every pet parent -- stay far away from Jasmyne and PetSmart Grooming in Tracy.
