We love Rocky Mtn K9. Their staff is great with our babies. We use them exclusively for Daycare,…read moreBoarding and grooming. We are K9 Club Members, which is the best deal to get all the perks they have to offer. Our dogs get so excited when we pull up to drop them off. It is so reassuring that we have a place to take them where they feel loved. We also recommend their training program. Our dogs did a two week course and it changed our lives. Can't recommend them enough!!!!

My parents recommended Rocky Mt. K9 after their groomer moved there, so we decided to try the bath…read moremembership for our five dogs. The online scheduling was convenient, but the website was difficult to navigate and had several features that didn't work properly. The front desk employee was extremely friendly and helpful when I called about signing up for the free 14-day trial. Our first visit was okay, but the baths were disappointing. The dogs still had dirt on their coats, my hands became dirty after petting them, and I had to rewash parts of them at home. I chose not to complain because I wanted to give the facility another chance. At the second visit, our dogs were noticeably more reluctant to enter the building. Staff also informed us that dogs may share kennels, which concerned me even if they're from the same household. When we picked them up, one of my German Shepherds, Violet, had diarrhea, feces on her tail and legs, and fresh abrasions and swelling on her nose that were not present before drop-off. I was never informed during the appointment that she had become sick. I had to clean and bathe her again after getting home. My partner called to express our concerns, and the front desk employee was again kind, apologetic, and said he would pass everything to a supervisor. Unfortunately, my conversation with the supervisor was the complete opposite. Rather than showing empathy, she immediately became defensive, insisted Violet's nose injury existed before the appointment, implied we were providing inaccurate information, and repeatedly focused on my "tone" instead of addressing our concerns. At no point did she apologize or acknowledge how upsetting it was to pick up an injured dog. We decided to cancel the membership during the advertised free trial. We were told it couldn't be canceled until after we were charged and then we'd have to request a refund, which made little sense for a trial period. We were also required to repay the 40% grooming discount that came with the membership. While I expected that part, it was frustrating considering we were canceling because of our experience. I do want to recognize the groomer who groomed our two poodles. She did an excellent job, and I happily tipped her 20%. I also want to commend the front desk employee for being consistently kind and professional. Ultimately, it wasn't the grooming itself that lost our business--it was the lack of accountability, empathy, and professionalism from management when concerns were raised. If our concerns had simply been acknowledged and addressed with compassion, we likely would have remained customers. Instead, we'll be taking our dogs elsewhere.

I bought a high energy dog that I thought I could train myself. Once he hit six or seven months old…read morehe started becoming reactive. I tried a group training class and it was a miserable fail... we were basically kicked out. I was given a lot of advice, but after weeks of going to parks and walks, I wasn't making any progress. Thats where K9 fluent came in. I love their training options and structure. I did a 10 day boot camp. The training seems expensive, but is an amazing value since it includes them working with your dog, private lessons, group lessons, an e collar, and a place cot. They picked him up in the mornings and dropped him off at night. The private lessons were great so that we could start working with him at home. I've only joined one group class, but it was a great way to keep working on our skills. They do such a great job to really challenge your pup and put them in different real life situations. I'm so glad I was recommended to them. I had looked at numerous trainers, but I didn't feel comfortable with any of them. Many were too far away, had poor communication, or mixed reviews. Thats not the case with k9 fluent. We immediately felt comfortable with the owner when we had our consultation. Every trainer with the company has been knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. 10/10 recommend.

K9 Fluent is an amazing training group. They did a wonderful job with our sweet dog Laika. She has…read morea lot of energy, and had trouble listening when she was excited. After our 15 day boot camp and personal lessons she has come a long way. Of course she's a dog and a young lab mix, so she still is high energy and "Go, Go, Go!" But she has far more restraint now. The team will train your pup in whatever language you choose or multiple if you decide to go that route. We chose German and they did a great job following our choice. Everyone is friendly and love to have your dog join them for training. Laika, our pup, was so excited to go to training every day when we dropped her off in the morning. If you need training and want to know your dog will be respected and loved like you do at home, go with K9 Fluent. When I was considering which company to go with for training, I was most concerned with the different methods companies use to train the dogs. K9 Fluent will demonstrate their methods and show you the difference between E-collar and a shock-collar. I detest shock collars, and was a bit hesitant about an E-collar, but after I was able to test the collar on myself I completely understood my dog would not be hurt or punished by pain when being trained. You won't regret this, get your graduation photo on the board along with Laika!

I've always had English Mastiffs and they are wonder very Loving dogs. I've never had a problem…read moretraining them. I let myself get talked into a Mastiff/Bloodhound cross and found myself in a mess. I have 165 lbs of stubborn, willful, disobedient but very, cuddly loving dog. At 120 lbs I cóuldn't take him for walks any more. It was a strange experience... 5 Mastiffs and none of them used their weight or strength to push me around. But this dog dragged me anywhere he wanted to go. Someone told me about Jan and Live Oak and I thought I'd at least try. I walked into her facility for our first class and I walked out with another dog... and I don't mean I traded! Jan is a PRO. No gimmicks just calm, clear instruction for you as well as your dog. She'd make a wonderful therapist. She'll meet with you and your dog first to see if you, your dog, and she are a good fit. Then she'll make a plan and you're ready. I don't know how she does what she does that enables you to translate it to your dog. We were in a large class and everyone was getting it. She watches everything to help you and to prevent negative interactions between dogs. I promise we're not related, I'm just so grateful because she saved my relationship with my dog...who is now incredible!!

5 out of 5 stars! I highly recommend Jan at Live Oak Obedience!…read moreHaving my dog Molly progress through Puppy Obedience to Advanced Off Leash Training has been a truly transformative experience for both of us. Jan is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your dog's success. She takes the time to explain the underlying reasons behind dog behaviors. She gives individual instruction and advice to each client and furry friend to help them with specific behaviors. Jan has taught me how to communicate effectively to Molly. Group lessons are fun, we all learn together! There is always something new and stimulating to learn at each class. Thank you Jan for helping me learn how to train and teach Molly, because of you, we have a positive, happy relationship. Live Oak Obedience is the best!

She really knows her stuff, and she is able to make adjustments on the fly with individual dogs. I had 1 of my dogs do the board-and-train with her and the daily updates were so thorough. It helped us still feel connected to our puppy while seeing how he reacted to various scenarios and techniques.

Abusive unethical treatment of my dog during board and train. I contracted for a two week board and…read moretrain to help me get a head start on working with a bouncy new dog we had rescued. I was told the training was all play and relationship based. I was concerned when I picked my dog up from the two week board and train because he kept trying to run away from the training room and hide behind my legs during turnover. Levi shocked him at such a high level that he cried multiple times when demonstrating commands (he told me that he was at a level 9 on a higher voltage collar than he originally started with because the dog is "stubborn" and "lazy."). I think dogs should always love training or something is being done wrong. Although I am not opposed to e collars in principle, I believe it was overused due to a lack of skill in really understanding this dog. When my dog came home I switched entirely to positive reinforcement because of what I had seen. At first my dog flinched when I gave him commands. He winced and turned on his side. He seemed afraid but like he did not know what to do to avoid punishment. I found an injury on his neck in the area the e-collar had been used. He is now working willingly and happily for me. There is never any "stubbornness" or "laziness." He loves training time. The program I purchased came with lifetime support if I returned for a follow up appointment, which of course I didn't do, because I could not fathom making my dog go back to the place of his mistreatment, and why would I want any more "advice" from abusive psuedo-trainers anyway? I did contact Levi about these concerns and he took zero accountability--which means he will do the same thing to more dogs.
