We brought our two Goldens to a King K9 board and train after they found a way out of their backyard fence and took themselves on a tour of Bangor. We wanted to focus on off-leash recall and build in other great pup practices more consistently (sit, stay, and place). I cannot speak highly enough about both Joshua and our pups' experience! We have a stubborn 8 year old who will not listen to anyone but me. Through trust-building and consistency, Oliver now knows that sit means sit / place means place no matter who is asking him. And we are able to take him for off-leash adventures with the comfort of knowing that he will reliably come when asked. It's the best feeling and he's so happy with this newfound autonomy! Then there's our wild child Willow. She's 3 years old and too smart and curious for her own good. Before, if she noticed that she was off-leash or made an escape from a fence, she would bolt - it was a game for her and she loves being chased. She needed the most support in not pulling when walking, impulse control (pesky squirrels), jumping on strangers, and recall. A lot to tackle but Joshua did this beautifully! We still have our sweet girl, but now she understands what's expected of her when meeting strangers (we sit and stay seated until released) and walks (heel, please). Since training, she's finally had the opportunity to swim (her favorite thing!) entirely off-leash and will reliably come when we ask. It makes us so happy to see her enjoy this freedom with us being able to ensure her safety. King K9 was hands down one of the best investments that we've made for our pups. We highly recommend reaching out to Joshua for all of your training needs! 10/10. read more

Every time I try to write about how much I appreciate Josh's help with my dog Parker, I get emotional and dramatic because his quick response, professional advise and care for Parker's situation literally saved Parker's life. Josh is very responsive - I need some advise in an urgent situation and he answered my inquiry very quickly and within in a week came to my home to evaluate the situation. He provided solutions and follow up coaching with phone calls which to care of the short term emergency. Then we set up a plan to have Parker visit for a 6 week rehab. Josh spent time understanding my situation, what I needed for Parker, and came up with a plan. Now, I have a dog that doesnt bark or disturb the neighbors, I can walk in public, and I know how to help Parker make better decisions and be less reactive. Both Parker and I are so much happier and I am so very grateful to Josh for his help!! read more
