Her experience and training are working exceptionally well to get me to reach my goals. I highly recommend Bri All About the K9.

Buyer beware - contract forfeits any recourse if they don't perform to your standards. If the…read moretraining sounds too good to be true it probably is. Watch out for the word compulsion because it means forcing the dog to do something (aka punishment). Tony says he was trained by world renowned dog trainer Dr. Helmut Raiser who's RSV2000 kennel club is currently under review from being expelled from the VDH (German Kennel Club). Dr. Raiser has published many books but is formally trained in dentistry - dog training was a hobby that he turned into a career. I am not aware of any formal schooling that Tony has had. Tony will throw a bunch of fancy terms and accomplishments but never provided me with any of the documentation - he was on Oprah and consulted with Michael Vick's dogs. Couldn't find anything to back that up from my research. If you care for your dog, please don't sign a contract that releases someone from gross negligence with your dog. I hope no one has to see what I had to see and have to lose their dog.

We thought he was just going to be one of those dogs that never learns, but Vicky has changed that forever. If your looking for a great trainer, someone with patience, someone who loves their job, and just an overall great person you have to hire Vicky! We love Mac even more now than we did before because of the good boy he turned out to be and we owe it all to her.

I have only used the boarding services with K9 Guardians twice and we won't be back…read more I honestly thought the first time was fine, I have two dogs a husky and German shepherd and I know they can be a lot to deal with at times being high energy working breeds. Yesterday was the second time I picked my dogs up after a 4 day stay. My husky had speckles of urine all over his white face and down his chest. My shepherds fur was all crusty on his stomach, as if he'd been lying in urine and had feces in the fur around his butt. They both stunk and felt grimy to the touch..these are show dogs and I am a professional groomer, meaning I normally bathe them every 2 weeks, so for them to come home like this after 4 days, I was disgusted. I check over both dogs once we were home and both had a dry nose and deeper red gums that were very dry, indicating dehydration. They went straight for the water and drank about a bowl each. They make you pay before getting your pet, if I would've seen them I wouldn't have paid for such poor service. This bordered on animal abuse and I won't be leaving my pets in their care, or lack there of, again! Just to note: Before my dogs stayed the first time I asked for a tour so they showed me the back kennel area and dog run section. The "day camp" dogs are in VERY small kennels (maybe 3x3 I'm not sure) and they keep their prong collars on them while kenneled. This to me is a safety hazard but I'm not certain if boarders are handled the same way. Boarders are in larger kennels I think 6x6 or 6x9 but the runs are just large enough for them to pee and move around some. Outside of that pets are not exercised, unless you pay an additional $50 a day for training... and thats supposed to be 15 minutes of training an hour....Not a walk or actually exercise activity
