We spontaneously adopted a 5 year old husky (Haku)from the shelter and soon discovered a couple of problems. He was aggressive towards our two cats and barked at any dogs he saw. After just the initial eval with Chris, we learned how to get Haku to sit while on leash. On our evening walk later that day, Haku sat quietly while I ran into a neighbor with his dog. Amazing We got paired with Dom as our trainer. Dom is awesome! always engaged and informative. He was great with Haku. Dom would often spend extra time making sure I didn't have any questions and summarizing the sessions. We've gotten Haku to pay attention to us more and be less reactive to other dogs. We still need quite a bit of work with our pup, we can't leave him unsupervised with our cats and sometimes he's still a rascal when he sees other dogs, but he is way better. Chris and Dom have given us the tools we need to keep progressing. Highly recommend read more

This is gonna be a long one... Brought my dog here in the past when he was a puppy for an obedience board and train, but we were told that he's 2 weeks too old for the puppy program. So we were forced to do the full board and train program. Chris was very informative during the orientation and introduction appointment and showed us that he was able to do what we wanted in training our dog. We wanted to teach our dog off leash recall and healing. We decided to go with the 5 week board and train program after he said that he'll work on recall and heeling on walks. He had also promised us to send weekly update videos and keep us informed on how he's doing. We thought nothing of it as it was our first time doing something like this. We asked for an update video a few days in whether it was a 10 sec video or even a 30 sec one, but we're told that the trainers are busy and can't do anything like that. What do you mean? You record videos for your social media all the time. Just record a clip and send it to us as worried and curious owners. After harassing the front desk (who by the way was extremely rude) for updates via email and phone calls; Chris gave us a call and told us that if we were going to to keep calling asking for updates that he would have to stop the board and train because we were "asking for too much". So we shut our mouths and decided to just listen to him and trust him. We received a total of 4 update videos ranging from 20-45 seconds in the span of 5 weeks. Come pickup day for our dog we were excited to finally see him And see how much he had learned. This fucking guy taught him sit, down, stay, heel, and up in the 5 weeks he's been there. We asked for a demonstration without the e-collar and he stated that the e-collar is "insurance". You're telling me 5 weeks of vigorous training and you still can't get him to perform those basic commands without an e-collar? Okay chris whatever you say. Within the week of our dog being home we had to take him to the vet because he had lost weight, was sluggish, and contracted an infection of some kind. He was prescribed 2 weeks worth of antibiotics. Didn't come from us Chris! When we called and complained about that he offered us a free group training session and then proceeded to give me shit for bringing my dog with a harness instead of an e collar and slip lead. We could just be the outlier in this scenario and had a bad experience, but we referred a friend of ours there too who also had the same experience as us and hated every second of it. Waste of thousands of dollars and empty promises. Hated very second of it and don't know how all these other families are trusting him with their pets. TLDR; Don't bring your dog here. read more

My partner and I adopted a 1.5 year old, 150 pound Neapolitan Mastiff who did not know what a leash was and thought the only way to say hello was to rush up to a dog / human and jump on them. Obviously, we needed some help. We shopped around for dog trainers had a few meet and greets etc. and decided to go with K9 Logic (1) they have ample experience training large breeds - in particular training mastiffs (2) everyone at the center was helpful and friendly - this was mine and my partners first time using a dog trainer and not once did anyone make us feel like burden or stupid for asking questions (3) our dog (and us) enjoyed being at the center - it was clean, inviting, and a positive experience for our dog (he would get all happy every time he knew we were going to training). We decided to go with the 8-week course and Dom was our trainer. Amazing! Dom took the time to ask and understand our needs and worked with us to implement solutions that worked for us and our dog. I appreciated Dom taking the time to ensure that we understood why we were teaching Hercules the cue. Hercules is thriving - he went from no leash manners to heeling and attentively walking by our side (he still gets excited at times which is to be expected but we have corrections in place to refocus him). We have been able to calmly introduce him to dogs and humans alike, as well as, we have been able to build upon and maintain his training beyond the 8-week course. tldr: 1,000% worth the money and the time!!! If you have a large dog and needs some help run don't walk to K9 Logic. read more

This review is long overdue, but wanted to express how happy we are with our decision to train with K9 Logic! Our dog Tsuki was getting more reactive to other dogs and we knew right away we needed help with managing her. Any walk or park outing we attempted was not enjoyable at all if another dog came in sight. We signed up for 8 private sessions and got paired with Jamie for our first few sessions and then worked with Diana for the remainder of them. Both of these ladies were amazing trainers! We were given very clear demonstrations and instructions throughout all of our lessons. The sessions were always very hands on and the feedback we were given on our handling skills was invaluable. I felt like we made huge progress every week. By our last lesson, Tsuki's reactions had minimized, her obedience improved, and she was learning to socialize better with other dogs. Our training ended back in June, but we've continued to implement all of the lessons we've learned from our previous sessions and Tsuki's behavior has only been getting better. We were able to take her on a trip to Yosemite and stayed at a location where there were tons of dogs and it feels amazing to say that she was one of the most well behaved dogs there. We've been taking her out more to pet friendly places-- restaurants with outdoor patios, bars, pet stores-- and every single time she blows me away with her progress. I used to think we could never do any of these activities with her. Of course there are days/moments where it feels like we're taking a few steps back, but it's a lot easier to manage thanks to everything we learned. Thank you K9 Logic for getting us to this point in our training! read more

I couldn't be happier with the results of my dog Thor's three week board and train program! K-9 logic exceeded my expectations in every way. Thor is now a joy to walk, responsive, obedient, and under control, which makes every outing stress-free. The care and training Thor received were top-notch. Stop It was clear from the moment I picked him up that he had been in loving and capable hands. He was thrilled to see me, but what stood out most was the pride and happiness the Trainer had in his progress. The balance of firm guidance and genuine affection was remarkable and it's made all the difference. I wholeheartedly, recommend K-9 Logic to anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and effective training. They truly deliver on their promises! read more

Chris is the absolute best at what he does, and I'll be forever grateful for what he's done for my Pepper. It's been 2 weeks since we picked up Pepper after a 2-week board and train with K9 Logic & the skills/obedience are sticking! Before Chris got his hands on Pepper she would jump up when anyone came in and grab food from people... we had to crate her when we had company because she lacked manners. We hadn't been able to cut Pepper's nails or groom her, nor any professional- she'd need several anxiety meds just to calm her down because she would freak out and growl. With the help of muzzle training and patience, Chris was able to cut her nails, bathe her, brush her out, and now we can too which is a huge relief! My kids can sing and dance and play while Pepper sits nicely in her designated "place," which before K9 Logic, she would get excited and want to join in which in turn knocked my small kids down. Also noteworthy is that we used to have to gate off my kid's play area because Pepper would chew up toys- I'm thrilled to report that the gate still has not needed to come back up because Pepper understands boundaries! We've had guests over since Pepper came back, and to my surprise she sits in place until she's given the command that she can break for pets/love- and the best part- she doesn't jump on people! She walks amazingly on leash, listens to commands, and is calm tempered when we see other dogs... all important things to me considering that Pepper is an XL mutt (Great Pyrenees, Great Dane, Rottweiler, Mastiff mix). My sweet puppy is now my sweet, well mannered puppy. When I asked for updates, they were very prompt with responsiveness and sent me a link to a few long videos showing Pepper and talking about her progress and what they were working on. You can tell they care for and are invested in the dogs they train by their communication and dedication to sending progress videos to reference for future. I've recommended K9 Logic, specifically their board and train program to several people who have been impressed seeing Pepper's gains since returning home. read more

Chris is amazing! He is a true dog lover. My dog did board and trained with him for 6 weeks and he's a brand new dog. He even provides free group Lessons and follow up trainings. I totally recommend k9 logic for all the dog owners. You will not regret it. read more

Despite our best efforts, my partner and I were struggling to control the barking and reactivity of our year old Malinois / Cane Corso. After the 3 week board and train, she came back with much better obedience and we learned to be better trainers by consulting with Chris and Shay and in follow up classes. I really appreciate their patience in helping us diagnose the root cause of behaviors to give us a clear plan for keeping up the training on our own. read more

The trainers at k9 logic are phenomenal. They're extremely knowledgeable and patient. More importantly you can tell that they love dogs. I had the great opportunity of working with Dom. My puppy, Winnie, absolutely fell in love with him. He was gentle and patient with her as she went through obedience training. I recommend k9 logic and recommend working with Dom! read more

The best training experience for me and my dog! They are so efficient and really know a lot about dog behavior and training. I'm so happy I brought my dog here. We worked on walking, no pulling, reactivity to other dogs. In just a couple of sessions, my dog learned quick. Thank you K9 and Chris!!! read more

I have two Maltese dogs and their reactive barking has gotten so bad. With excessive barking and pulling, our daily walks became very difficult. I went to K9 logic desperate for help. Chris spent ONE HOUR with my dogs, and what a difference that one hour has made! It's been a couple weeks since our first session, and I'm so happy with our progress. read more

We brought our labradoodle, Ozzy, to K9 for training. Although all the trainers are great, we had Chris. Chris proves that his job was to get our dog to achieve the goals we had in mind for him. We signed up for the puppy social classes and 8 private training sessions in hopes to get Ozzy to be fully leashless, ready for the outdoors, and to build and strengthen his skills (e.g. recall and healing skills). Although we didn't think possible, Chris managed to get Ozzy there halfway through our privates. This left the remaining trainings where we were able to focus on refinement as well as working on behavioral needs. He was able to come up with methods to deal with and work on for Ozzy, specifically for our needs, our home, our level of effort, and the tools that we had. After 8 weeks, we can't believe the growth we have seen in Ozzy since before K9 to the wonderful companion he is now. All that said, please know that although these trainers are amazing, we learned that it is up to us as the owners to follow through at home and in our everyday life with Ozzy. Be sure to be specific when explaining your goals and amount of time you can dedicate to your dog. This is a collaborative effort between you and the trainer. If that doesn't work for you, I suggest the board and train that Ozzy's brother was enrolled in at K9 Logic. Which also works really well if you do not have the time to put into training. We highly recommend K9 Logic to anyone who wants to take their dog to the next level. read more

K9 Logic Dog Training - Pet Training Near Me - Glendale, California

This review is nearly 6 years overdue. I was young, uneducated, and afraid to speak up when I had the chance. The reason why I'm writing so late, is because I stopped by Glendale and it reminded of this place lol. When I got my puppy with my girlfriend, we noticed our little guy needed some behavioral training. After researching and looking around, we went with some YouTubers recommendations, which led us to K9 logic. Our pup was about 8 months old and during our orientation, we met Chris who recommended the 8 week long individual 1 on 1 and group behavioral training. This was the best option for us because we wanted to be apart of the process since this was our first dog. After talking to Chris and figuring the best package, he also recommended an E-Collar. At first we were iffy, but he explained how it differed from a shock collar and can help with training. After we bought into it, he showed us how to use the E-Collar. And then on our pup. He showed us there was two main buttons, one for small corrections and one for emergencies. When he demonstrated on my pup with the emergency button, I felt something was wrong. My dog had the loudest yelp and became highly afraid and uncomfortable when the E-Collar was around. I'll go more depth about that in a bit. After our orientation/consultation, we tried to train with the E-Collar when we got home with little corrections, but noticed our little guy would shut down when we put the e-collar on. We were unable to make progress with training at home due to the fact he was traumatized already. Everytime it's out, our dog refuses to move (lay down with dead weight until the e collar is gone or out of sight). We didn't know what to do. So we waited until our first session to see what we were doing wrong. On our first day of training, we had the pleasure of meeting Juan (our actual trainer for the whole 8 weeks). During our first session with Juan, we brought along our E-Collar that we had purchased from Chris. We explained to Juan what was happening at home with our pup when the E-Collar was around, and he had saw the levels for the correcting button at 25 and emergency button at nearly max. He asked us why was it so high? We replied, Chris had sold it to us that way and taught us how to use it with those settings. We also explained that he demonstrated the collar on our pup. Juan looked shocked and said, those settings were way too high to begin with. He had to reset our remote to the lowest setting and worked up the levels to see where my dog would react to the levels. We found the sweet spot with Juan at around level 5-6 for basic corrections and emergency button at around 12-14 but it was already too late, my dog was traumatized. To this day, my dog is still afraid of the remote/collar when he sees it. (We still have the collar in our dog drawer, but never use it). Also to note, not sure if it matters. Chris never checked up on us during our sessions or after our program ended. After 2 sessions with Juan, my pup was still shutting down with the E-Collar (waste of $$$). Juan actually suggested a prong collar for corrections instead which we still use currently. Something that wouldn't shut down my pup when training. The sessions went great with Juan, we were able correct behavioral issues during our sessions. Our dog excelled so much with Juan, he had ran out of ideas on what else to correct. So for the last two sessions, it was more fun, he ended up teaching us how to train our pup to do tricks like, roll, fetch, and safe. He continued to teach us on how to better train at home. After our program ended, Juan insisted to stay in contact for any future questions we had and for updates! Juan and our dog got along with each other so well. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. TLDR; came here from recommendations. Chris sold us a 8 week long training package. Traumatized our dog with the e-collar. Met the best trainer, Juan. read more

What can we say? K9 Logic was hands down some of the best money we've ever spent. We took our beloved blue heeler puppy Rune there at 8 months due to excessive barking, reactivity to dogs and people, lunging and pulling on walks. Although Rune was playful with other dogs, she also had insecurities that would arise and could cause problems. Walking her had become a nightmare and we were really stressed out even when just taking her out for a stroll. We'd tried various methods that we found on YouTube, saw on Instagram, or read about in books; and it seemed like nothing was working. We finally booked an 8 week training course with Chris and K9 Logic, and from the first class, we realized that this would be a huge opportunity for growth - for both us and our dog. Rune is not an easy dog, and Chris saw that. He helped us select the best tools to both teach and strengthen the behavior we wanted from her. He taught us how to teach. It's very hands on. Chris would show us how to train, and what homework we should be doing between classes. We really put the time in, and our results were amazing. Now we are able to walk Rune with no pulling, lunging, or barking. We can take her off leash with great confidence, even around bicyclists, other dogs, or children. One of the most valuable results of the training is that we now have far fewer negative interactions with our dog. Our bond is strengthened, and she really trusts us and wants to keep learning. She is less anxious, more confident, and happier. Obviously some of this is natural as the dog gets older, but we are thoroughly convinced of the great value this training has given us as dog owners. If we ever get another dog, regardless of its age or temperment, we would bring it to K9 Logic right away. Can't recommend enough. Thanks to Chris and the K9 Logic Team! Keep up the great work! read more

My dog's last private training session was in Dec2020 so this review is a little late! K9 Logic is definitely worth every penny! My dog (Kikko) is a mutt. A small, high-anxiety, aggressive terrier mix who I thought was going to be impossible to train, especially during the pandemic. I went in for an evaluation (he was around 8-months at the time) and was told the 8 private sessions would be most effective for his behavior. His training mainly focused on basic obedience, leash, and distraction training. I did think the nonrefundable payment for an evaluation was a little wild, but it was applied to my training sessions and, like I said, it was worth every penny. They have all the tools you will need to help you train your dog - incluidng other dogs to help with distraction. Employees are also very good with following health/safety procedures for the pandemic. Dom is such an awesome trainer! He made sure to train my pup (and me) and he also was attentive enough to realize when Kikko was stressed. He really cares for all of the dogs he deals with and it's very noticeable. Kikko used to be unmanageable at home and in public, but all my friends and family members have noticed how well-behaved he's become since training with K9. I also take Kikko on runs and hikes every week and he's grown to be the best dog to have by my side for outdoor activities. I learned a lot from K9 and it was so nice to have a trainer to work with my dog and teach me techniques that I still use today. If you are considering professional training for your pup this is the place to go. It is a learning experience for both you and your dog, so have fun with it! And if Dom is your trainer, you are in great hands! read more

Training at K9 Logic was the best investment I could have made for myself and my new pup, Oliver! Korean Jindo dogs are typically not the easiest breed to handle. They're smart but independent and can have a wild streak which easily develops into fear or aggression if it isn't properly managed. K9 Logic takes a personal approach by getting to know you, your dog and what your goals are, which I really appreciated. Anyone can go online and watch training videos but you need a professional to make on the spot corrections, help train you as the handler and teach you to how to communicate with your dog. We started by attending puppy socials and group classes with head trainer Chris, which were great to get the basics down and make new friends with other puppy parents. But the most progress was made in our private sessions with Dom, who is fantastic! I was initially against using an e-collar because of all the negative things I had heard about them, but decided to put my trust in Dom and got one. Dom explained how to correctly use the e-collar and Oliver was loose leash walking within the first lesson! We have made amazing progress since then and I plan on continuing to attend K9 Logic through day camp and group outings. I can't recommend K9 Logic enough and am so glad to have found them. All the trainers and staff are really friendly and helpful! They love what they do and want you to succeed. Just remember, K9 Logic will recommend the right tools and set you up for success but there's no magic fix. You need to put in the work. If you love your dog, train your dog! read more

100% Recommended! I took my 5 year old adopted dog, Sophie to K9 Logic recently. I mainly needed help with her excessive barking and her forcefully pulling on her leash when on walks. Since I am wheelchair bound I also wanted to be able to take Sophie on walks myself with her being attached to my wheelchair. Our trainer, Chris, truly went above and beyond to help us with Sophie. In order to get her used to walking alongside my wheelchair Chris purchased one to begin Sophie's training. I was amazed to see the progress Sophie was doing every week. Now that we have Sophie back we can see a huge difference in her behavior. Slowly we are now able to take her on small outings and she does great with her being attached to my wheelchair!! I can not thank Chris & K9 Logic enough for making it possible. read more

K9 Logic (and Chris) are incredible. From traditional obedience training, board and train, to more intense command work, they can do it all and bring the results we love seeing. We brought our pup Timbit to them for an extended board and train, and the results speak for themselves. Her self-control and leash obedience is finely tuned, and she's much more in tune with us as we guide her through commands on walks and in the house. K9 Logic is a lifesaver. They are our go-to now and through the future for consistently leveling Timbit's training up. read more

Julie's puppy course at K9Logic is the best for getting these young wild puppies more in control. Julie does a precise step to step training for the puppies to understand leash pressure and command, so that we can communicate with them more easily. She is so clear about the timing of when to give the verbal queue/leash pressure, and emphasizes the importance of "reward" vs "release" word. All so important! Also, she will answer any of your wild puppy questions. She's the best! After the puppy course, we took Dom's 5 private class. I was able to take what we learned at Julie's class, and take it further. Leia learned to heel in distraction; learned to do place-work in distraction; learned to do recall; and importantly, to not jump and run into doors (hardest struggle for my excited pup). Dom is super chill, and super instructive, and the results were immediate. My dog is super stubborn, but is learning so quick as we continue to be persistent with the training we learned from K9Logic. Thanks K9Logic for setting Leia up for a great start! read more

The best trainers! I knew I needed some expert advise training my 10 week old lab/pit mix. She was getting strong fast and it would be no time before she was pulling me down the street. Chris worked with us once a week. We started with the basics and I quickly realized that it was training for me as much as my pup. It taught me dog psychology and how to better communicate. In no time my pup was doing sit, down, staying in a place, and the biggest hurdle-- loose leash walking. He made me feel comfortable introducing an ecollar which we used in conjunction with leash training. This helped us accelerate my goal of having my pup off leash for backpacking. My dog has struggled with impulse control, getting SO excited around dogs and people. Chris has helped me better prepare and correct my dog for those environments. He taught me a good foundation that gives me confidence to train for any situation. Training is not magic, it takes effort and practice. Fun stuff, she can do obstacle courses (the "up" and "off" commands come in so handy for getting in/out of the car and up/off furniture with permission). He even taught her/me to load a ball launcher so she can chase balls on her own! My pup has grown so much socially though Puppy Social and now Day Camp. She was so scared at first, just hinting under a bench. In just a couple weeks she was playing with multiple puppies and after a month she was a complete social butterfly! It's been such a help especially during COVID restrictions. I highly recommend K9 Logic. My puppy is now 7 months and 52lbs of pure energy and love. Thanks to the training Chris provided I can really enjoy my activities with my dog vs being stressed! read more

Chris is a good master coach. He is full of ignition and willing to teach. He brings a lot to the table. You can tell he enjoys teaching because the passion behind it. Chris is very skilled and knowledgeable with all training tools. He speaks the dog's language, so communication with the dog comes easy. It is like harmony. I was very satisfied with Chris. I would recommend him to anyone. I said it once, and I will say it again. Chris is a very good master coach! Go to him with ignition and open mind. You will go into depractice and myelin will be made. You will not be disappointed. You will walk away with so much knowledge. It was a very good experience, and I would do it again. Thanks again, Eric your gold school student. read more

We are so happy we made this big step to start with this program Charly did the 5 weeks and let me tell you. He came back a different dog. He would pull us on the walks and very anxious to play with all dogs. K9 Logic showed us the way. I knew that we have to learn as well. Still applying the rule at home. I will be honest it was hard but it worked. We take him to long walks to the park for hours and riding the bicycle has been so easy now that he knows how to focus more. We take him to day care so he can interact with dog. I'm happy to say K9 Logic they are and still is our school. We will continue to go every week. We are so happy with the attention they put towards the dogs. Thank you read more

K9 Logic is an incredible organization. I am so grateful to them for their work with my puppy, and I can't recommend this training highly enough! Louie is an energetic 8-month-old Aussie mix, and before training, I was worried about my ability to "handle" her and give her the mental and physical stimulation she needs and deserves. Now, not only is she well-behaved, she's happier and putting her brain to good use :) read more

I was lucky to have found K9 Logic. My family adopted this 110lb fluff 3 yrs ago. Even though he was sweet as sugar, he didn't realize how big he was. Walking around with this ball of curiosity and energy was becoming problematic. We brought him in to help with leash training and controlling his instinct to lunge at everyone to say hello. Chris immediately knew what Marshmello needed and how to train him... and me. After the first day, he was listening and walking in heel. He has been improving every day since then. So much so that my 7year old is now able to walk him (while supervised) and give him commands. Not only did they do an amazing job with the training, but they remain available to answer any questions I may have. Even after 3 years, they still remember Marshmello and are happy to give me suggestions on how to improve. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will continue to recommend K9 logic to anyone who wants to be a better owner. read more

Recently finished training with our 1.4 yr old male German shepherd, Dom was our assigned trainer and he was amazing ! We had a couple trainers before that just slapped on an ecoller on high and pressed a button to the point our pup Levi yelped. Dom made sure we understood what had to be done and how to do it. He made sure when we left our sessions we had a grasp on our training homework. He was funny and never made us feel stupid like some trainers do. Thanks to Dom and k9 Logic our pup trusts us and looks to us for guidance instead of barking and lunging! Thank you !! read more

I signed up for an 8 week class with k9 logic. I just want to start to say that the team is personable, friendly, professional, and patient. We started with a 7 month Bernedoodle with reactivity issues, pulling on leash, jumping, counter surfing, breaking out of command. The first day is an evaluation day, where one of the trainers (mine was Chris) assess your dogs behavior. I had the pleasure of working with Dom(trainer). He showed us the fundamentals of proper tool use including communicating with the leash, reward system, stim collar use, whilst keeping it clear of the negative and positive reinforcement to create a better dog. At the end of the 8 week course. Our pup is more responsive to obedience, has better judgment, better impulse control, better handle in new environments, less stress overall. Besides the results, the schedules for training is flexible. I was able to change some training dates due to life circumstances. Life happens! Overall, highly recommend this place. They have extra stuff like group outings where I assume pup graduates hang out and socialize with other pups and environments. Have not done it myself, but it sounds fun! read more

We signed up our 7 month Belgian Malinois for the 3 week board and train, and K9 logic has exceeded our expectations. I can't thank Chris and his team enough for all the work they put into Zoey. Prior to her board/train taking Zoey on walks was extremely difficult since she would pull and react to other dogs. Since her training we are able to enjoy our walk and I can now even bring her along on runs. Additionally, K9 Logic has done an great job teaching Zoey obedience as well us teaching us how to continue to train her with all she learned during boarding. I would highly recommend K9 Logic and the team. read more

My experience is with the puppy social. We took our 12 week old puppy to a social one evening for her to play with other dogs. We didn't know what to expect but hoped that it would be a positive experience. Unfortunately, it wasn't the most ideal and we never ended up going back to the socials but are not closed off to other trainings. I wouldn't recommend the puppy social if you have a small, intimidated/shy pup. For context, our dog at the time was about 6lbs, very shy and apprehensive about other people and dogs. We arrived hoping that there would be dogs her size to play with but all of the dogs were about 10x her size--still puppies, just HUGE. As soon as we walked into the facility, the trainer that was working at the time was pretty gruff with us and told us repeatedly to put down our dog. We were only holding her at first to get her used to her surroundings and energy, but the trainer insisted in a kind of harsh tone that she's never going to learn to be comfortable if we don't leave her alone. I was pretty uncomfortable with it; my dog was cowering underneath the chairs while huge dogs romped around her. She even peed on herself. Seeing her so scared like that freaked me out and it was really hard to watch. She was like that the entire time until we left. I totally understand the trainer's point of view, I just wish she had taken the time and patience to explain to us that yea, it's a little unnerving to see this kind of behavior in our dog and our instinct to protect her isn't wrong, but we need allow her to acclimate. The way she communicated it to us was pretty short and not reassuring. In hindsight, I wish I would've listened to my own intuition and not allowed my dog to get that spooked (maybe even insisted that I held onto her for a little bit just to warm her up a bit before all that stimulus) because after that experience, she is pretty terrified of dogs when she wasn't before. I think if you have a bigger puppy who is social and loves to play with dogs already, this is a great space for you! But if your pup is a little timid or takes a bit to warm up to their surroundings, the puppy social might scar them a bit. I'm not mad at the experience, it just wasn't for us. read more

Signed up my 7 month old mixed breed rescue (cattle dog, chihuahua, poodle mix) for the 8 private sessions. My dog, Noli, is a high-drive, high-energy puppy and we had issues with her loose-leash walking, jumping, over-excitement, recall, general obedience, counter surfing, focus and attention. For the first few months I had her, I trained her myself at home via youtube but decided it was time to seek professional help. Just 3 months later and having completed the 8 classes, Noli has improved significantly with her obedience and focus. All of my friends and family have commented on how much she has improved and changed for the better. Signing up with K9 Logic was worth every penny and it is the most efficient way to achieve the results you are looking for. I worked with Chris and he was amazing with Noli. He has a wealth of knowledge and starts every lesson asking what we want to achieve and work on. Every week we work on a different task and he sends us home for the week with homework. He always has suggestions with different types of training tools, collars (we used e-collar) and leashes to use and answers the hundreds of questions I have for him. After the first few weeks of basic training at his location, he began to introduce different real-life distractions for Noli, like his own dogs. He would bring them along to training sessions which really helped mimic real life situations. Towards the end of our lessons, we would go to the nearby dog park with vast grassy areas to work on recall, stays, tricks and agility. We even went to a nearby home improvement store and walked through the aisles since I told Chris I wanted to work on being able to take Noli out to public places. Once you become an alumni, you can attend the group outings at the Americana, which we have attended and have been tremendously useful being around crowds and other dogs. We plan on continuing to attend the group outings. HIGHLY recommend K9 Logic and the entire team there - every staff member and trainer we have interacted with has been professional, kind and willing to help. Check out their instagram (@k9_logic) for real results (including a video of Noli!!) read more

This review is long overdue. I was a client at K9 Logic two years ago I believe. I have an 80lb mixed breed dog (50% German shepherd, 25% pitbull, sprinkled with Staffordshire terrier and Rottweiler) who had already graduated from basic obedience and had done some additional training (on my own) with an e-collar I purchased from Amazon. At the time, I had several friends who were training their dogs here and they were all so phenomenally behaved so I decided to give them a try. I took him in for an evaluation with a gentleman (I forgot his name but I think he was the owner). He educated me on how they train dogs, their use of slip-leashes and e-collars, and their importance in the role of negative reinforcement in more advanced dog training (don't worry, there is a lot of positive reinforcement too). He was very confident and knowledgeable and it was amazing to see how he handled my dog. My dog is extremely food motivated and quite intelligent so he was picking things up very quickly in the evaluation. We discussed some of my training goals for my dog, which included intermediate obedience (heel, down, down-stay, place, touch, up, down, impulse control, agility) and above all addressing two very important behavioral problems: his tendency to run towards scuffles at dog parks and his high prey drive. The owner suggested 8 sessions given some of these issues. Now, K9 Logic is pricey. However, in my opinion, the prices they charge are reasonable for the knowledge and training they provide. Trust me when I say that you will walk away from your training with them with a transformed pup. You will have to buy a Mini Educator e-collar and slip leash if you do not have those items. If you are deterred by the thought of using an e-collar then either you have been misinformed or have heard myths. K9 Logic educated me on its proper use. The e-collar shock levels range from 0-99. We started at 4 and I have never gone above 15. I got to work with Diana. She was a great trainer, showing me how to do things and explaining her rationale, and then having me practice it in session with her. After you leave every season, you have homework for the week. If you think training your dog takes a long time, then again you have either been misinformed or heard myths. I trained my dog everyday, twice a day, for only 10-15 minutes a time. As he became more advanced in his skills, our training sessions at home (and outside of the home) grew in duration. Initially, we started working in the little gym they have. I learned how to hold the e-collar, how to use it, when to apply a shock and when not to, and how to treat my dog. I learned language to communicate with my dog and let him know that he needed to come to me and when I was coming to him. As he gained more skills, our training moved outside of their gym to the local Home Depot and a park full of people and squirrels. He did extremely well in these very distracting environments. By the time I was done, I had a much calmer, more focused dog. I was a doctoral student at the time and after this training, I was able to bring my dog to 2-hour long classes where he would simply lie down, sleep, and wait for me to finish. Everyone was impressed, including peers who had seen him before we embarked on this journey with K9 Logic. I not only gained a much more well behaved dog, but I got to bond with my dog a lot. He eventually stopped running to scuffles and has improved a great deal on his prey drive; the latter I don't believe will ever go away. The only suggestion I have for K9 Logic is to have an agility course that is more basic and that can be used to build a dog up to the more advanced agility course they have. My dog attempted their agility course but it was too scary for him. He was not confident enough and not ready. They also told me I could teach my dog agility via playgrounds at parks; however, I did that and one time, my dogs nail got caught on the playground and he jumped off and ripped his nail off, causing him to bleed everywhere (it was a hot mess). I never went back to a playground after that. Other than this, I was happy with my experience. read more

My dog Sarabi recently completed K9 Logics 8 week board and train program and we are thrilled with the results! From the first consultation, we were impressed by their knowledge of dog behavior, training methods, clear communication. They took the time to understand Sarabi's unique personality and designed a training program specifically for her. The board and train program was intensive, but K9 Logic sent us regular updates with videos and photos, so we always felt connected to Sarabi and were able to track her progress. When we picked her up, it was like getting a whole new dog! Her confidence has improved dramatically and has translated into our day to day life. She now walks calmly on leash, listens to commands, is more relaxed around guests (we'll keep working on this one with their group training classes!) The trainers also coached us on how to maintain Sarabi's training at home. They provided follow-up sessions to address any questions and made sure we felt confident in our ability to keep her on track. We can't recommend K9 Logic highly enough. They are true professionals who care deeply about dogs and their owners. If you're looking for a solution to your dog's behavioral problems, look no further! 5-star experience all around! read more

This place is great! The facility is clean and very well maintained. We dropped off our german shepherd puppy for their board & train program and we just picked him up yesterday and we are impressed! K9 Logic staff took care of our dog, made sure he was fed well, and treated our dog like he was their own. Our dog had some obedience problems, such as, leash pulling, barking, and getting distracted in public. When we picked him up, Chris taught us the commands and made sure that we were comfortable and reassured us that he will still be available for any questions/concerns even after the training has been completed. He was updating us every week on our dog's progress and even sending us videos and pictures, when available. Most people think that dog training is pricey; however, we believe that it is a very good investment! You (and your dog) will leave this place satisfied, happy, and excited to go to places without worrying about your dog's behavior. To everyone at K9 Logic, thank you so much for all you did for Harley! We are very grateful! read more

Before this class, my dog had issues with resource guarding and being extremely reactive towards dogs, kids, cars, and people in general. After this class I would say she improved by 90%. Yes, there are still things to improve but it is up to me as the dog Mom to practice and teach my dog while providing more exposure to those scenarios that will provide teachable moments. The biggest difference with this class is that they train the dog parents too. Other classes primarily train the dog which doesn't allow continuing success. I took another class and although it was less expensive and less time consuming, I did not get as much out of it as I did with this class. This class was extremely structured and involved repetition. Was the class expensive? Yes but I can say it is worth every dollar. I can now do all the things I dreamed about and sit at restaurants with my dog and spend the quality time together at public places we deserve to have. Also was I nervous about the tactics used? Yes, but they were very strategic and careful and monitored everything. Nothing was extreme or questionable. I'm extra paranoid about it and if I can say it was acceptable, I would say there is nothing to worry about. As for the trainer, Dom, he was very clear and supportive and gave constructive criticism that was necessary and beneficial. There were great examples used during the class and it was very well thought out where tips were used repeatedly till we understood. Chris gives you information at the 1st meeting which is meant to showcase his skillset and demonstrate how they are knowledgeable with dogs. read more

We completed a three week board and train with Wally, our very restless and energetic labradoodle this summer. The team was absolutely fantastic and put us at ease leaving our pup with them. Wally came home e-collar trained, walking perfectly, and so happy with the trainers that he barely wanted to leave. We came out with a new set of tools to address his nipping outbursts around the house. I have strongly recommended K9 Logic to many friends and we will continue to work with with them for updates to his training. read more

Julie is amazing!!!! We did 5 private sessions for our dog Foxy! She was easily excited by seeing other dogs, motorcycles, and anything that wasn't me or my partner. It made walks stressful and we felt limited in where we could take her. Now, she can go everywhere with us just as we wanted for her. We can go to restaurants, coffee shops, and crowded areas for walks with no problems. I am so happy we had Julie and thwe can enjoy different and new experiences with our Foxy! read more

Rey is amazing!! I am so thankful to him, Chris, and the entire K9 Logic team. Because of them my relationship with my dog has transformed and improved signficantly since I started training with them. To give a little context, I am a first time dog owner who decided to adopt a puppy during the pandemic. I thought I was prepared but I'm not gonna lie -- I didn't know what I was getting myself into once I picked up my little pup. Despite my dog being less than 10lbs, he would constantly pull on the leash to the point he was choking himself on the collar. He would bunny hop everywhere instead of walking normally. No amount of Youtube dog tutorial videos were helping me to fix the walking, recall, and barking issues. I was frustrated, to say the least. Lo and behold, I found K9 Logic Dog Training. I had my initial consultation with Chris and he spent more than an hour listening and sharing his knowledge with me about why these issues were arising. There was even a mini lesson on how I could utilize leash pressure to communicate with my dog. I signed up for 10 sessions and got paired up with Rey. Rey is a great teacher -- he is personable, kind, and knowedgeable. He was very patient with me while he walked me through the entire process. I love the pedagogy they've created for their program; they start with the basics by teaching leash pressure and food motivation before moving on to more complex methods. Everything is a building block for the next step, so it was easy to learn and apply. I am so thankful to Rey and the entire K9 Logic team. I am able to communicate with my dog so much better due to you all. Thank you so much! read more

Hands down the BEST place to take your furry best friend. The facility is huge and has multiple spaces for distraction-free training and a play area to socialize. I did private training with my rescue pup, Mowgli, and it made SUCH a difference in getting him comfortable. Chris (the owner) made sure that I understood the how's/why's behind all training techniques. He took the time to get to know Mowgli and was straight forward with his approach. I also got to know the rest of the staff really well and they are all so friendly and professional. You can truly tell they love training dogs and they ensure to take the best care of both furry friends and humans. Highly recommend this place for ALL kinds of training needed. read more
