One of our dogs has many health challenges that make him very difficult to train and two trainers we used before Don gave up on him. They said there was nothing more that could be done. But not Don. He has been a game changer and we're so grateful! He has done a ton of research on (and has brought us to try) special tools we can use and has even bought special treats just for our little guy. He has endless patience with our pups, and moreover, with us. We have worked with Don on both of our dogs and will absolutely continue to work with and recommend him highly to anyone looking for a dog/people trainer who you can trust with your pups and count on to help you understand and better communicate with them. Don is the absolute best around!

No outdoor play area, so the dogs are kept indoors all the time. Yes, that includes when they need to go #1 & #2. So, I would certainly have some concerns when it comes to a sanitary environment. Granted the staff does clean the areas but I would be highly doubtful that they would notice this immediately after it happens. Which makes me wonder, are dogs walking through this unsanitary environment & for how long until one of the staff members cleans the space? Or is there another space where all of the dogs could be moved too for the time being until the unsanitary space is cleaned? Also, my confidence level was not too high when it comes to learning whom would be interacting with the dogs. Do they have a background in dog related training, in what environment, for how long? Not the type of atmosphere where you would get a mom & pop location but rather very corporate feeling. Too many concerns & downsides to even think about considering this location for boarding or daycare.

We have an 8 month old bull terrier puppy who has a great temperament but needed to develop her…read moremanners and had a couple of behaviors that we couldn't get on top of. We started with a manners class that was taught by Jess. Jess is able to bring the best of the dog training knowledge base into her practice, and then she helps owners apply it to the unique temperament of their dog. While it was an 8 person/dog class, we walked out with particular ways to work with our puppy that got us the results we wanted. She did this with each person/dog in the class. As a result of that very positive experience we contacted Jess to work with us on some specific problem behaviors. One had to do with walking on a leash. Our puppy would walk for a bit and then go totally nuts jumping at whomever was the walker, grabbing and biting the leash, and generally being totally out of control. Jess, with her dog focused observational skills, was able to diagnose what the trigger was, helped us establish ways to shift away from that, and set us up to be successful. It worked. We stuck with what she said and walks are now totally pleasant. Jess listens, sends extensive feedback and follow-up, and does NOT have a cookie cutter approach. I highly recommend her.

I originally reached out to Atlantic K9 Training because my one-year-old Cane Corso/Pittie mix,…read moreBrinley, was getting a little too strong for me to handle. She's incredibly sweet and submissive with other dogs, but she loved to jump on people and had a habit of pulling hard on the leash during walks. At 60 pounds, it was definitely a lot to manage! From the start, Kylie and the Atlantic K9 team were amazing--professional, knowledgeable, and so caring. Brinley attended their two-week bootcamp, and I'll admit, it was hard sending her away for that long with no visits. I was worried she might feel abandoned, but Atlantic K9 made the experience so much easier. They uploaded pictures every day of her playing with other dogs, looking happy and confident, with a smile bigger than I've ever seen on her. It was clear she was having the time of her life--more like a fun vacation than "training camp." When Brinley came home, the transformation was incredible. She has great recall, walks beautifully on leash, and I can now even let her walk off-leash with full confidence. She's learned to stay in her "place," respond to "no" consistently, and--best of all--she no longer jumps on people! I'm so grateful to Kylie and the entire Atlantic K9 team for their compassion, communication, and the amazing results they delivered. Brinley is happier, calmer, and more connected to me than ever. I can't recommend Atlantic K9 Training enough!

We can never thank the team at Atlantic enough for the absolute transformation they did on our…read moreOllie. We reached out the Atlantic at a complete loss of how to help our sweet Ollie boy succeed. They were nothing but kind, communicative and supportive during our initial conversations, and put us completely at ease about sending our boy to the two-week bootcamp, a choice that was incredibly hard for us! Ollie is a five year old Australian Shepherd/Poodle mix who went to training pre-pandemic and has always been incredibly shy with strangers. Before 2020, this manifested as leash reactivity and we were working hard at it when social distancing went into place. Post-pandemic, we tried every method we could find to try and help him with this, but despite all efforts, his reactivity increased tenfold to include dogs and small children. Sometimes he would he completely fine, and other times, he would aggressively bark and lunge at dogs and kids. It was so stressful that we started keeping him away from other dogs, and our small nieces and nephews to be safe. Ollie's alert barking additionally reached an all time high in the summer of 2023, and his counter-surfing was out of control. We decided it was officially time to get professional help. My husband and I want to start a family soon, and were terrified to think that Ollie's unpredictability could jeopardize his relationship with our future kids. His alert barking was creating a near-constant level of stress in our home, and we couldn't imagine how Ollie would be able to function happily or be involved as our family continues to grow. Throughout the two weeks of bootcamp, we got daily communication about Ollie's progress from the team and pictures of him playing happily during break times. Most importantly, however, K-9 Atlantic has completely transformed our boy, and given us the utmost confidence that Ollie will be the BEST big brother someday. He is literally like a different dog in all of the best ways. He's still our sweet, snuggly, silly boy, but without all of the incessant barking and sneakiness! His reactivity is now basically nonexistent, and he happily plays with our little nieces and nephews when they come over! He is a rockstar on and off-leash. We've even slowly integrated meeting new dogs in controlled settings, and he has been so very successful. He hasn't even counter surfed (despite us purposely leaving chicken on the counter in his reach in order to practice!!!!). Ollie's newfound confidence shines in his ability to meet new people and have experiences without all of the anxiety that he displayed prior to his time at K-9 Atlantic. He is the best version of himself, and we are so beyond proud of the good boy his has become!!! I don't know what magic the K-9 Atlantic team did with him while he was training, but we cannot believe that he is the same dog. He has been SO good, and an absolute angel while practicing. We are beyond grateful for everyone at Atlantic for truly transforming our boy and our lives. We can never thank you enough!

I reached out to Nikki's K9 training in a moment of desperation and could not be more glad that I did! Nikki totally renewed my love for my dog and has set my dog up for success at home and in stressful environments. After the first session with Nikki, I had a whole new dog! My puppy was calmer, able walk politely on a leash, knew how to look for leadership, and follow training directions overall. I worked with 3 other trainers (private and group sessions) and a dog socialization program without any progress before I met Nikki. Nikki's program and approach is the only thing that has made a difference in my dog's behavior. On top of the training, Nikki has a wealth of knowledge in canine health and nutrition. She helped design a feeding plan for my puppy that was customized to his breed and size. Nikki has been able to answer every question I've had related to dog ownership with expertise and compassion. Most of all, I appreciate how Nikki really understands my dogs needs. She does not try to train away what makes my puppy special. Instead, she customizes her approach to align the the dog's overall motivation which makes for a much happier puppy! 1,000,000/10
