If you need dog training, look no further! Evergreen School for Dogs is the best dog training I…read morehave ever seen. 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.

Thankfully, Christina helped us with the training, and showed us how to reinforce that training; she showed us how to give context to commands, and this has massively helped us. Our fur kid is far more responsive...even when she clearly doesn't want to be! Thank you so much for your amazing help, we are super grateful for you.

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

It was a great way for him to be socialized and learn good manners. The classes were very low key and practical.

They always have great attention to detail and treat our dogs like family. We also have an elderly German Shepherd with reactivity and she does great with Kim as well. Highly recommend!
