I called multiple training programs and this was the place that felt like it would be the best fit. They were super professional.

He walks like a dream on a leash . He is happy confident puppy and my household is at peace. Jay was an awesome trainer.

I cannot thank Jay and K9 Connection enough. When my German Shepherd rescue got out of hand, it…read morereally worried me, and I lost a lot of sleep over it. I am as attached to him as he is to me, but I could not let him place us in jeopardy just because he (or I) might lose control of a situation. I did not know really what to expect when I brought him in, and I figured he would be a tough case. At the end of it I got my buddy back, for which I am grateful.

We love Supernova Dogs! We tried a few training facilities in the north towns with our dog and…read moreSupernova was our favorite. We were lucky enough to take obedience classes, fun workshops, and the "University" day school (combo of personalized training & doggy playtime/daycare) with our golden retriever, Midas. All the instructors and assistants are fantastic! Supernova has a gorgeous facility and all instruction is based on positive reinforcement and helping your dog to make good choices. They do an excellent job explaining what each baby step is meant to solidify--so that you as a human aren't tempted to skip a step and then wonder why your dog hasn't consistently followed through with their obedience skills. Classes are usually small (and/or have assistants to help) so that your dog gets 1-on-1 time to help with any issues you're working through. While training and practice is a lifetime thing, we have noticed impressive success with Midas' training and get compliments on his behavior considering his young age. We could not have done that without the help of Noelle, Kim, and the rest of the Supernova team.

Our pup (who was a Velcro dog with me at first) loves going to daycare and has become a much happier, confident, and sociable dog since he's started. Even his nap habits improved! The drop off and pick up at the front are so convenient, the hours are great, and our pup is well taken care of. You can tell he gets lots of love there! I'm so grateful for A Joyful Dog. I don't think we could manage our pup without them. Thank you

We were so anxious to board our special needs dog who prior to us adopting her, was at the city of…read morebuffalo animal shelter for a month. We worried the situation would be too similar and make her panic, triggering her medical issues. The staff at Joyful Dog was patient, kind, and empathetic. It was clear from our thorough conversation before booking that our pup would be in great care. They were understanding of our anxiousness at drop off, and gave us so much info at pickup regarding how she did during her stay (including a very cute report card!) We were so happy with our test boarding at Joyful Dog and feel assured and far less stressed about her next boarding, which will be for a longer stay. They are clearly genuine dog lovers, and great at dealing with us anxious dog parents as well!

Our puppy struggled…read morewith impulse control and would often display aggressive behaviors/excessive barking out of frustration. He came out of the board and train a changed pup. He is now able to show restraint around other dogs, food, etc. Walking him is a breeze, he stays right by our side and rarely pulls. He no longer barks repeatedly at us or gets in biting moods. The structure that was provided by Kelli and her staff at The Pit Chic established a great foundation for our puppy that we continue to build on now that he is back home. 100% recommend these services. We will be bringing him back for future boarding as we know he is in good hands there

This business isn't just about pet training, but I could only select one topic from the drop down…read moremenu. This business - rather this man does obedience training, boarding, and a variety of other training issues, as well as installing underground fencing. If you've heard of stories about underground fencing - most likely it's because the owner was not trained rather then the dog. It takes training for both owner and dog for an underground fence to really work well and Tom Beitz knows how to make it happen. His logo statement is creative as well, Where Sit Happens". Verbal and visual commands both work on our dog! Tom Beitz, even the name is fitting, is a professional dog trainer that we've used to train two GSD's with much success and both remain in our yard with an invisible fence. He also stands behind all the products and gives you the individual attention that dog owners need. With both individual training and group training - you and your dog deserve the best and I highly recommend giving Tom a call if you have any dog training needs. We've been dealing with Tom for over 5 years now and recently had to have him stop over to look at a broken collar. While he was there - he gave us some additional instructions for both dogs, replaced the collar and off he went. It doesn't get better then this!

Flipping through the book I found his web site cited for obedience and off leash training. When I looked up the site and found he was from Hamburg, NY I couldn't believe it! He came to our home once a week for basic obedience training for our puppy at about 3 months old. His techniques are amazing! Our dog took to them quickly. He helped us with pulling, jumping issues and helped us to sit stay, leash walk and place. He is experienced and truly cared about our dog. We are calling him again when she is 9 months old to start more advanced obedience and off leash work. I recommend Smart Dog Solutions for anyone who wants a "good dog." Truly we learned that there are no bad dogs, just untrained ones. Phoebe is well on her way to becoming a certified therapy dog!

From the owner: CCk9 dog training School offer three levels of obedience: Basic Obedience, Intermediate Obedience…read moreand Advanced Off-Leash Obedience. However, we train each dog on an individual basis, because every breed is different, and every dog is different. We will customize the training to meet your exact needs. We do not use food, treats, balls or tugs as rewards; we use a special method to motivate your dog, regardless of breed or size. While it is natural for a dog to want to track or bite, obedience will, at first, feel very unnatural. This is why training obedience can be difficult for inexperienced trainers. Our training methods make obedience training quick and easy, while minimizing the amount of stress on your dog. Your dog will learn to quiet itself on your vocals, with one command, in a normal tone. It is important to train your dog in the environment in which it will spend the majority of its time. This is why we train your dog, one-on-one. We are located in the Wainfleet, Niagara Falls Ontario area. Are state of the art Dog training facility is open seven days a week, and will work with you to accommodate your busy schedule.

We called this place THREE times to enroll our puppy in classes. The first time, a man answered and…read moresaid he wasn't in the office and that he'd call me back in 10 minutes...he never called back. The second time, a woman answered and told me she'd call me later that day...she never called. The third time we spoke to a new woman (on speakerphone) who told us the day, date & time of the class and she confirmed our enrollment. We showed up (15 minutes early per their request) and there was one older employee doing agility with her senior dog, she largely ignored us. Then another woman, also an employee, came in asking us what we were doing there. We said we were there for puppy class and wondered where the instructor (and other people/puppies) were. She said that the instructor's Poodle was having surgery that week so there's no way she would have been starting a new class that day. Ridiculous since both my husband and I clearly heard the date & time AND immediately we both set reminders on our phone. We really wanted to take our puppy here since they have a pretty nice looking agility course and their classes included an intro to it, but they're so disorganized. It is clear that the owner(s) and instructors don't communicate too often or too well. I have five friends who recently got puppies and asked me if this place was good and I told them to steer clear from it.

It was embarassing daily when she barked and lunged at people for no apparent reason. I had my first 2 hour lesson with Jason last night, and the difference I can see in my Teeka already has made me enjoy our walk this evening, instead of me feeling uneasy of her reactions towards people we pass on our walks. I would highly recommend Jason as he was able to assess my dog's unwanted bullying behaviour as "guarding me" in my house and in public. He showed me how to take control at home, and and on our walks. I look forward to our next 3 sessions and a calmer and socially graceful pup.

Jason is the puppy whisperer. It's as simple as that. He understands dogs and dogs understand him…read more My puppy is my first dog and I had no idea what I was doing. My fear of doing the wrong thing was affecting my dog and was making me an ineffective dog owner. Jason corrected my behaviour so that we could correct my puppy's behaviour. She's 6 months old right now and is a very relaxed and well adjusted pup. Nobody ever tells you just how much work having a puppy is and Jason put my mind at ease and gave me the confidence to take her out and not over react to situations because now I KNOW that she will come when called. With Jason's help I learned to enjoy my puppy and everything that comes with being a puppy. I realize that her puppyhood is short lived and I am enjoying every minute of it. Within my first meeting with Jason I learned the basics of what to do and what not to do, what dogs need in order to thrive, (and no, it's not just bones and love) and how to properly communicate with my dog to let her know what I want from her. Trust is key in a relationship with your pet and I wouldn't have learned that without Jason's help. No amount of reading puppy books or talking to other dog owners will give you the in depth knowledge and hands on experience that Jason will provide. If you're doing something wrong, Jason will tell you and understand that this is what's best for your pet. Mango and I both love Jason and would highly recommend him to any old or new pet owners. Thanks Jason, see you at the dog park!
