He next sent his assistant in to close the deal for $2,500. They never discussed the cost of monthly training afterwards. We decided to think about it overnight after Chris suggested we check out his website and watch his videos. My wife emailed Chris that same evening with a few questions for clarification before we signed up. 3 weeks later-no response. I guess he didn't want our business. Not a great way to run a company. As a side note, we're getting some excellent dog training now in-home with a great instructor for $1,100 less. And he's teaching US what we're doing wrong.

Cindy came to my apartment and really helped me to find ways to make my dog comfortable. Not only does she train the dog but she helps you understand how to read your dog in different situations. She uses positive reinforcement to train and it has been a wonderful experience. Cindy goes above and beyond her training sessions by sending informational papers to read about training, letting you take videos of the sessions, and allowing you to call or text her with any questions you have. Overall, my dog has improved a lot and the experience with Cindy was fantastic!

Our team of certified professional dog trainers work hard to create custom programs that fit every dog, and every budget; from private training lessons to boarding and training. Most of us lead pretty hectic lives, work long hours, have numerous commitments, and often don’t have extra time to devote to the hundreds of repetitions and 24/7 accountability that successful dog training requires. You would much rather be spending the time you do have exploring, having fun, making memories, or relaxing with your canine best friend! That’s where our Board and Train dog training services come in. Our trainers will create a unique training program to fit you and your dog's specific needs to achieve the training goals. All travel, treats, care, training, tools, and lifetime guarantee of communication with your assigned trainer is included in each of our programs. At the end of training, your trainer will return the dog back to you where they will not only teach you everything your dog has newly learned, but also how to continue with training in everyday aspects within your own home. Our motivation is to see you communicate, connect, and thrive with your dog!

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 was having a really…read morehard time with my puppy who was starting to show some reactive tendencies, especially around other dogs. 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

We were blessed enough to work with Nikki, and I am happy to say our dog Saffie is a very different dog.

She still doesn't like other dogs or new people, but she's much less reactive now than she was before training with Nikki. If you have a dog that needs a lot of help, or a dog that just needs some fine tuning, then Nikki is your answer. Thanks Nikki, and thanks Koda!

Pawtsmouth Grooming did a great job grooming my dog, however I didn't hear their text message announcing when he was done as I was distracted due to a work meeting. Totally my fault and I apologized profusely when I picked up my dog 1 hr late. I even provided a generous tip on top of the surcharge I was penalized with. However Jesse was inconsolable and extremely upset, and red with rage. She told my wife and I that we could no longer use their services.....not that I wanted to after that experience. My advice to others is to be aware that she is VERY short-tempered, seems to have anger issues, and there are no 2nd chances. I believe I saw another review from someone named Jesse that described a similar behavior. Whatever you do, don't be late picking up your dog no matter what the excuse.
