My wife and I have had our dog Winston for almost 7 years. He's a good dog, but he would…read moreoccasionally be aggressive with other dogs and bark too much when we have guests or deliveries at the front door. We reached out to Connie because we were thinking of getting a second dog and wanted to get a "tune up" for Winston before we made that decision. The process to set up the initial meeting was thorough - we filled out an initial form, we talked with someone on the phone and we were provided with material to read before we ever met Connie. We appreciated the documentation as it set reasonable expectations about the process. When Connie came to the house, the first thing she did was ask us about our goals for the training. She's a great listener and really took the time to investigate our situation and ensure she truly understood the issues that we were having. Once she had gotten our story, she explained the root cause of the issues with Winston and educated us on how to better communicate with our dog. There was a lot of useful BarkBusters material that she shared that was specifically relevant to the problems we were having. Once we got past the theory, we did a few different exercises with Winston to put the ideas into practice. We saw an immediate impact with Winston after the first session. We felt more confident once we were equipped with the knowledge and skills to handle the problematic situations. We followed up on the homework that Connie shared and the results only continued to improve in the weeks following our initial visit. When she met us for the second time, she was surprised with how well Winston had responded to training and provided some small feedback about how we can continue to improve. We are over the moon with how much improvement we've seen with Winston and are so happy we worked with Connie! With the lifetime guarantee, we know we can reach out in the future if Winston develops other issues. Working with Connie was worth every penny and we highly recommend that others reach out if they're looking to improve their dog's behavior!

Their calm and kind demeanor, true understanding of dogs, and ability to help us speak our dog's language is unparalleled. We loved having the opportunity to work with and learn from Corday. I could not possibly give a higher recommendation- they have earned my trust and respect. Our golden stayed for board and train for a week and then we had two weeks of in-home training. Life feels so much more manageable and happy for our whole home. Thank you, Corday and Evergreen School for Dogs.

My family was looking for a miracle and Corday is a miracle worker. Investing in your Pet can make a world of a difference especially when it comes to their behavior. After some very informative back and forth emails We enrolled Winston in the 3 week board and train program. Throughout the time Winston was away, Corday was checking in and sending updates. After just ONE WEEK we went for a visit and Winston had already made huge improvements. Corday gave us a small lesson with Winston at that visit and it felt like we were with a different dog (In a good way). All of the concerns I had with Winston have been resolved within the 3 weeks he was with Corday. I cannot thank them enough. Our family has a new sense of freedom having a well behaved dog, and that's all thanks to Corday and the Evergreen school for dogs.

My wife and I have been training our puppy with Kim since November. Our dogs name is Redford and he…read moreis currently a 6 month old Goldendoodle. We were really excited to get our first puppy but we did not realize all the headaches that were to come. A month or so in, I was at Pet Pros in Lake Stevens buying a muzzle for my puppy because he would not stop biting my wife. The clerk suggested that rather than use the muzzle begin working with a trainer. She handed me Kim's card. Kim has been a great trainer. The constant nipping has become a thing of the past. Redford knows over a dozen commands. Whether he listens or not is something we are still working on :-), but he is only 6 months old. Incredible! Additionally, my favorite thing about Lake Stevens K9 Academy LLC is that I am able to board my puppy with Kim. Redford loves his "playdates". So it gives me peace of mind when I'm away from him because I know he is in a place he loves and that he's in great hands. Thanks Kim! Nathaniel and Brittany Van Duine

If you're in search of training for your dog then look no further. I reached out to Scruffy Fluffies based on the positive Yelp reviews and Victoria responded very quickly for a consultation. Based on my interaction with her I booked right away. She arrived promptly on our scheduled meeting day right at our home and she took all the precautions due to COVID so we felt very safe. We especially liked the one on one attention and time working in our every day environment to get a better handle on some of the challenges we were facing. Having had a couple of sessions now we can confidently say that we are completely satisfied. Scruffy Fluffies offers various packages including a 4 session package starting at $340. This is by far the best value compared to others we found. Based on our experience we will more than likely add more sessions. It is truly amazing how great it feels having your dog respond positively and quickly to the training. Don't hesitate, reach out to Scruffy Fluffies!

We were unsure which program to choose but went with the off-leash program, and it was the best decision. Mack went from a high-energy puppy who struggled with listening, jumping, and leash pulling to a well-mannered, confident dog. With a one-year-old at home, having hands-free control over our large dog has been life-changing. The program's results have been night and day for our family. You can tell Joshua and Kayla truly care for and bond with every dog that comes through their programs, which made us feel so comfortable trusting them with Mack. An added bonus is their boarding option for program graduates, which includes a training refresh. It's a relief knowing we can leave Mack with people we trust while we're away. We can't recommend Joshua, Kayla, and Concierge K-9 Training enough. Their expertise and care have truly transformed our lives--and Mack's!
