They have terrible customer service. Every time you call the person answering the phone has zero…read moreanswers and says someone will call you back when they can, but then we never get a call back. They don't pay attention to the dogs well-being nearly enough, for example we have been leaving our puppy there and have told them that he is having diarrhea but every time we pick him up and ask if his poop was normal they says, "oh yeah, everything was fine" or "I don't know, I didn't work with him" and then when he gets home he continues to have diarrhea. They don't interact with their clients at all, at the end of the day they are just telling you what you need to hear to leave them alone. The only positive thing I can say is that our puppy comes home looking happy and he is tired from playing. Edit: 3 days after posting this review, instead of reaching out to me they called and tried to bully my fiancee into changing it deleting this review. Rather than addressing the issues she just denied any problems and ended up just making my fiancee upset.

We can never thank the team at Atlantic enough for the absolute transformation they did on our…read moreOllie. We reached out the Atlantic at a complete loss of how to help our sweet Ollie boy succeed. They were nothing but kind, communicative and supportive during our initial conversations, and put us completely at ease about sending our boy to the two-week bootcamp, a choice that was incredibly hard for us! Ollie is a five year old Australian Shepherd/Poodle mix who went to training pre-pandemic and has always been incredibly shy with strangers. Before 2020, this manifested as leash reactivity and we were working hard at it when social distancing went into place. Post-pandemic, we tried every method we could find to try and help him with this, but despite all efforts, his reactivity increased tenfold to include dogs and small children. Sometimes he would he completely fine, and other times, he would aggressively bark and lunge at dogs and kids. It was so stressful that we started keeping him away from other dogs, and our small nieces and nephews to be safe. Ollie's alert barking additionally reached an all time high in the summer of 2023, and his counter-surfing was out of control. We decided it was officially time to get professional help. My husband and I want to start a family soon, and were terrified to think that Ollie's unpredictability could jeopardize his relationship with our future kids. His alert barking was creating a near-constant level of stress in our home, and we couldn't imagine how Ollie would be able to function happily or be involved as our family continues to grow. Throughout the two weeks of bootcamp, we got daily communication about Ollie's progress from the team and pictures of him playing happily during break times. Most importantly, however, K-9 Atlantic has completely transformed our boy, and given us the utmost confidence that Ollie will be the BEST big brother someday. He is literally like a different dog in all of the best ways. He's still our sweet, snuggly, silly boy, but without all of the incessant barking and sneakiness! His reactivity is now basically nonexistent, and he happily plays with our little nieces and nephews when they come over! He is a rockstar on and off-leash. We've even slowly integrated meeting new dogs in controlled settings, and he has been so very successful. He hasn't even counter surfed (despite us purposely leaving chicken on the counter in his reach in order to practice!!!!). Ollie's newfound confidence shines in his ability to meet new people and have experiences without all of the anxiety that he displayed prior to his time at K-9 Atlantic. He is the best version of himself, and we are so beyond proud of the good boy his has become!!! I don't know what magic the K-9 Atlantic team did with him while he was training, but we cannot believe that he is the same dog. He has been SO good, and an absolute angel while practicing. We are beyond grateful for everyone at Atlantic for truly transforming our boy and our lives. We can never thank you enough!

I originally reached out to Atlantic K9 Training because my one-year-old Cane Corso/Pittie mix,…read moreBrinley, was getting a little too strong for me to handle. She's incredibly sweet and submissive with other dogs, but she loved to jump on people and had a habit of pulling hard on the leash during walks. At 60 pounds, it was definitely a lot to manage! From the start, Kylie and the Atlantic K9 team were amazing--professional, knowledgeable, and so caring. Brinley attended their two-week bootcamp, and I'll admit, it was hard sending her away for that long with no visits. I was worried she might feel abandoned, but Atlantic K9 made the experience so much easier. They uploaded pictures every day of her playing with other dogs, looking happy and confident, with a smile bigger than I've ever seen on her. It was clear she was having the time of her life--more like a fun vacation than "training camp." When Brinley came home, the transformation was incredible. She has great recall, walks beautifully on leash, and I can now even let her walk off-leash with full confidence. She's learned to stay in her "place," respond to "no" consistently, and--best of all--she no longer jumps on people! I'm so grateful to Kylie and the entire Atlantic K9 team for their compassion, communication, and the amazing results they delivered. Brinley is happier, calmer, and more connected to me than ever. I can't recommend Atlantic K9 Training enough!

Harley would bark and lunge at everything. Nelson and Lauren took the time to build a foundation and teach Harley how to behave around triggers. They gave me the tools that actually work and the transformation is UNREAL. What sets them apart is that they focus heavily on owner education. Harley was enrolled in a five week board and train and they really took the time to make sure I was trained on how to manage his behavior. I just met with them today to review skills and it was incredibly helpful. They explain the "why" behind the behavior and helped ME build confidence as Harley and I navigate life.

Our 6 month old Bullmastiff puppy recently stayed with BryAnne for a 2 week board and train. We…read morepicked this program because the trainers live with and train your dog in their own homes (as opposed to a kennel setting). I wanted a trainer who could work on every day puppy manners around the home in addition to leash training. Prior to training, our pup was a handful - as a large breed, he was already 75 lbs at 6 months and his pulling and lunging while on a leash was becoming dangerous. I'm 5'9 and he would lunge suddenly while walking on leash and he would literally pull me off my feet. He also would bite everything - not aggressive, just puppy mouthing, but it was non stop. He could not be left alone unsupervised for even short periods of time (like cooking dinner in the other room) because you would find him chewing a couch leg, etc. We picked him up from his training this week. I am shocked at how well his training went. BryAnne truly loves dogs and treated my pup like one of her own. She gave us frequent video and photo updates. From her videos, I could see that she clearly made my pup feel at home in her house. When our dog came home, we joked that we picked up the wrong pup. Where was the 75lb maniac? The first night, I assumed he was calm because he was just exhausted from running around during our training session (BryAnne worked with us for over an hour to show us all the training). But we are a few days out now and the change is remarkable. He's calm on the leash, plays appropriately, but he's still our snuggle bug. He's a pleasure to have around the house (no jumping, nipping at feet, etc.) We will continue to work with BryAnne to make sure we keep working on his training skills. We now have a strong foundation to build on. Thank you, BryAnne, for all of your hard work with our good boy!
