I cannot say enough good things about K9 DNA and especially Doug…read more
We had just rescued our 2-year-old fluffy Frenchie, TJ, and to be completely honest, we felt like we had made a mistake. He pushed every boundary imaginable. His energy was out of control, jumping on everyone, unable to be around people or other dogs, and even knocking elderly people over. It was overwhelming and stressful, and we truly didn't know what to do.
Then Doug came in, and in just two sessions, everything changed.
He helped correct TJ's behavior, but more importantly, he taught us how to be better leaders. He showed us how to properly correct bad behavior while still loving our dog. What meant the most to me was how seen and understood I felt. Doug didn't make me feel like a bad dog parent for struggling or for not instantly feeling that perfect bond after adopting TJ. He understood. He helped me realize that TJ is a good boy who wants structure, leadership, and a pack to belong to.
Doug gave us the tools, the confidence, and the consistency we needed, and the results have been incredible.
When I say TJ is better, that is an understatement. We can now have people in our home without worrying. He greets guests without jumping all over them or scratching them. We no longer have to put him away when people come over. He is calmer, more respectful, and honestly happier.
He is not stealing food off plates or biting hands for snacks anymore. He comes back inside without trying to go after other dogs at the fence. Our entire home feels more peaceful. Even our 2-year-old son interacts more gently with TJ now, because TJ is respecting boundaries in a way he never did before.
Most importantly, TJ now has a permanent, loving home, and that is because of Doug.
I was genuinely worried about my elderly grandma getting hurt before, and now I feel confident that TJ will be calm and respectful around her. That peace of mind is priceless.
Doug is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and effective. He does not just train your dog, he equips you with everything you need to continue that progress long-term.
Thank you, DNA K9 for not just training our dog, but for helping us truly fall in love with him. I would recommend them to anyone. And I promise, the price is better than you think, especially for the life-changing results you get.
