After reviewing…read moreand talking to several dog training establishments and checking reviews I contacted Rob at Lion K9. After talking and meeting with him I felt like he would be the person to train me and my husband to train our dog Asher. It was the best decision! Rob has helped us so much. We are still training and working with our dog but honestly Rob can get our Asher to do more commands than we can. He knows dogs and how to handle them. He's straight forward with us and we like that. I recommend Lion K9 to anyone who's looking for a great trainer.

He was so jumpy and mouthy that we didn't feel like we could take him anywhere. Sadie took our misbehaving puppy and turned him into an absolute joy to be around. She is a fantastic trainer and I am so glad we found her. I would HIGHLY recommend you reach out to her if you are on the fence about dog training. She was great to work with (we got pictures and updates during the week). On the day we picked up our sweet Waffles she went over everything he learned in depth so we can reinforce everything he learned. Thank you Sadie for all your help!

I have had 100% excellent experiences with Kelsey and her team taking care of Our previous cat and our current cat when my spouse and I are out of town: great communication, excellent care provided for pets, and very reasonable pricing for the services provided. My previous cat had some health issues later in her life, and Kelsey and her team did great with giving her medication and special food, and they all clearly love animals. Our current cat is incredibly shy with strangers and often hides, but she loves everyone who visits from Kelsey's, and getting pictures of her getting attention and love while we're gone makes being away easier! I truly cannot recommend Kelsey's enough!

Before that, we enjoyed dog parks and meeting other dogs and their owners on our daily walks. She became aggressive during puberty. The Vet said let's wait to see what happens after the spay. Jade got more aggressive, not less. Desiree is a dog whisperer. When we met at our consultation, Desire walked into my backyard, and Jade snarled and bounded across toward her. I almost fainted watching my huge dog running toward her. Desiree did her trainer thing, and Jade completely relaxed. I watched Jade become putty in her hands within minutes, and I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. The training was detailed and extensive. My dog responds to me when I call her with a quiet "hey" when she starts to play with my cats or go towards the kitchen. She places in the house even when guests arrive, or someone rings the doorbell. Her PICA (eating non-food items) is almost completely gone. ( Jade is s/p a life-threatening bowel obstruction after eating a towel) She went to the dog park and played with a Golden until her energy was spent a few days ago. I can play with her off-leash and have confidence in my abilities to communicate with her. A couple of weeks after the training, Jade all of sudden began to be triggered by the satellite dishes and telephone polls on our walks. Well, you can imagine how difficult it became with aggressive barking and then refusal to move. I called Desiree, and she drove the 20 miles to my house immediately. She offered some recommendations, which I applied right away and I could see that the initial onslaught of fear dissipated over a couple of weeks. Desiree is professional, prompt, clear, and is phenomenal with dogs. It's been 8 months since training and Jade is an amazing companion. Thank you, Desiree

As a…read morenew dog owner, I'll admit the process felt a bit unconventional, and I decided to wait a few days after she returned home to write this review so I could evaluate the results objectively. Now that we are home, I am incredibly pleased with the outcome. Milot's behavior has shifted significantly for the better. Anthony spent two hours with me during pickup to ensure I understood the commands and techniques he used, and by implementing those daily, I've seen a massive difference in our routine. While the 'behind-the-scenes' of intensive training can feel a bit like a black box for a first-time owner, the results speak for themselves. If you are looking for a program that delivers a noticeable transformation, it is well worth the investment. I'm very happy with Milot's progress! Other things to note - Anthony was very responsive. Sent videos of progress and video chats as well - clean/brushed/bathe at least once before pickup - flexible with drop off and pickup Happy with the result. Highly recommend.

They let me know he wouldn't be able to stay unless he received professional training. With only two weeks before our trip, I reached out to PowerHouseK9. Anthony took him in for a week and made an incredible difference. He taught our dog to heel, walk calmly, and stop pulling on the leash. The improvement was obvious the moment we picked him up. Anthony is knowledgeable, patient, and clearly skilled at working with strong, high‑energy dogs. I'm extremely grateful for the results and highly recommend PowerHouseK9 to anyone looking for effective, professional dog training.

Juan instilled all the basics of obedience in him and to this day, works with Casper to truly understand how his mind works instead of pulling generic tricks out of the book.

Without Juan's guidance and expertise, I don't think our relationship with Casper would be as solid as it is today.
