Before training, I had a lot more stress around my dog's behavior. Now he's obedient, predictable, and I can take him pretty much anywhere without worrying about how he's going to act. It's completely changed the experience of owning him--I actually get to enjoy being with him now. The results speak for themselves, and I've already recommended their program to others. If you're on the fence, it's worth it.

They were more comfortable in public, they now have basic commands, they don't pull on the leash anymore, they understand the word "no" .... don't even hesitate ... have them trained. I have a Giant Schnauzer that is inquisitive and needed boundaries and a Cane Corso that doesn't know his size. Angel did a really good job. Also, he picks them up and houses them if ever were out of town. Oh and btw, he sends you these videos from his glasses showing their progress (it's so cool watching them learn and grow and be happy). His IG is: patronk9academy. Keep up the good work Angel .

The backstory. Jackson had been in and out of a few homes by the time he came to us. He was an…read moreadult dog, 100 lbs of power with no boundaries, reactive around other dogs, pulled while on a leash...the list goes on. We spoke with Morgan at K9 Off Leash regarding their programs. Morgan took the time I needed to ask questions to determine the right program and the right trainer. My spouse and I decided on the in-person, 8 week dog aggression program with Kyonia Brooks. Kyonia has a breadth of experience ranging from shelters to veterinarian hospitals to animal control and - the point that drove home for me: police canine training. Again, Jackson is a big boy, weighing in at 100 lbs of power with no boundaries so we needed someone experienced that wouldn't be intimidated. At our first meeting with Kyonia we reviewed the program and expectations. We hit it off with Kyonia immediately. We could tell this was dog training and handler training which is what we needed to help set boundaries for Jackson. And from my research prior to calling K9, dog training is really about people training so we were in good hands. After the first session there was already a noticeable difference. Within just a few sessions, we already had a new dog and Jackson was on his way to a new and permanent home (finally!). Jackson was walking on a leash without pulling, he was social with other dogs, he was off leash at the dog park and making fur friends. This was remarkable since he was very reactive to dogs just a few weeks prior. The training was working! Again, Kyonia was teaching us so we were learning how our behavior was feeding into his negative behavior. On command, he knew how to: heel, stay, sit, come, down, down from afar, off and place. At this point, we started taking him to various stores to try him in and around crowds with plenty of distraction. He continued to heel by our side, sit, stay and down on command at one end of the aisle while we would "browse items" at the other end of the aisle without moving. (More like fake browse while side eyeing Jackson to be sure he was following command.) He would look at people as they walked by but stayed in command. Proudly, I must say that at the end of our very first store outing (big box hardware and lumber store), one of the employees came up to me to say that he was the best behaving dog that had ever been in the store. She was astonished this was his first outing. She thought for sure we were training him to be as a service dog. I responded, no just a good dog. ;) Soon after, Jackson was walking off leash. This was not our goal or expectation, even though the name of the company has it in their name. #TotalBonus The goal was two fold: give Jackson boundaries and have him become the dog that matched our lifestyle & teach us how to set the boundaries while instilling him with his own confidence. Goal accomplished! Friends and family all commented on a totally different dog. We get comments from folks all the time at stores, the park, the dog park, campgrounds and hikes on such a well behaved dog with excellent recall. Thank you Kyonia and K9 Off Leash!

She is loving, good around our friends and family visiting now. She adores her new home and we adore her. Of course, we also needed training, as her parents, which Kyonia did a wonderful job with us as well.

Even though my husband and I both grew up with dogs, we didn't fully understand what proper training involved until working with Arturo. Thanks to him, we've been able to use the techniques he taught us to create a more peaceful and positive environment for both of our dogs.

You can tell that Kat cares deeply about the dogs she works with and I'm so glad we found her out here in the desert. I highly recommend the customizable board and train service to provide structure, fundamentals and/or personalized learning (then you just need to stay consistent at home continuing to reinforce the new skills).
