I can't say enough good things about Brick House Country K9!…read moreWe had our hands full with two new puppies and our Veterinarian recommended Charona as an impressive trainer. Yes, she is that but she is also a an upbeat, positive person who knows how to teach, observe, and encourage. We are learning how to improve the behavior of our two little crazies in a consistent and loving manner. The facility is awesome and group training there is fun. We've also taken advantage of the BHCK9 private training as well. Things are going beautifully. I highly recommend Charona and Brick House Country K9!

Jim came to our house for a puppy training session with our 14 week old Golden Retriever…read more He spent over two hours training us and the puppy basic functions such as not jumping and nipping. He was very kind and knowledgeable and we noticed results immediately after just this one session. Jim even said that we may not need more training but he can come anytime and also call him with any questions. Price was very reasonable and we highly recommend his service.

Highly DO NOT recommend the grooming service. We brought in a 13 week old puppy for his first,…read moreprofessional grooming appointment after conditioning him to similar noises he'd experience at the grooming appointment, have clipped his nails/ used a nail dremel, brushed him, bathed him, and he was absolutely wonderful. Four hours later and walking in to pick him up, he was screaming in the back room (he is completely kennel trained by the way), and has been completely lethargic on the way home. We wanted this to be a first, positive experience for the pup, and the staff decided to blame their own negative reaction to an excited puppy on the puppy not being trained. He is 13 weeks old people (he has been complemented many times on his training progress). And now we have an ultimately terrified puppy that will require even more work to get him comfortable with hopefully a more responsible and respectful groomer. Also in response to any respectful questioning, a staff member became very rude and disrespectful. And even after all this stress, the groom was very choppy.

I had two small dogs & suddenly had a third added that a family member couldn't keep anymore. With…read morethe introduction of the third dog who had not been trained, my pet household was turned upside down. Lots of unwelcome behavior started occurring which inhibited our ability to simply take walks together. By the grace of God, I found Karen online and I couldn't be happier. She uses only positive reinforcement for the dogs (and the owner as well). She is more than willing to help & answer questions, meet out at a local park for practice and more. I tend to be an anxious person, but Karen's calm demeanor helped me immensely. She has a great personality and often made me laugh through my worries. My dog's behavior has improved tremendously, which has helped to bring peace & calm into our lives & increased our happiness. I can't express how grateful I am for Aunt Karen!
