After much searching for getting help for our 10 month old, mostly deaf Harlequin Great Dane, my…read morewife and I decided on talking to Matt and see if he could help us out. He took our dog, checked out his behavior and spent about 15 minutes interviewing or seeing my dog's reactions and/or behavior. Afterwards, he explained what he experienced with our dog and what his training would consist of. As time passed, we received updates of our dogs training and how he was doing. When we went to finally pick up our dog, Matt said he was going to grab him and bring him outside and show us what he has learned at K9 Instincts. While Matt was outside, one of his trainers was inside his office explaining to us what was going on between Matt and our dog. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The dog looked like my dog that I brought to Matt and his trainers but what I was seeing wasn't what I have been dealing with. My dog was attentive to Matt. Walking at his side, not dragging him or being distracted by passing cars, people or animals. Obeyed every command, his nervousness and anxiety was gone, my dog projected confidence, determination, and didn't mind strutting his new skills with happiness. His tail was wagging so hard and fast I thought he was about to take off flying. Now that our dog's training was over, it was time for Matt and his other trainer, please forgive me because I forgot his female trainer's name, to train my wife and myself my dog's commands and how to handle him. Since we have been home for a week now, we have no regrets of having our dog spend 3 1/2 weeks at K9 Instincts training with Matt and his skilled employees. Actually, we should have brought him months ago. There's no playful biting, jumping, chewing, displays of anxiety and nervousness. If he needs a correction or if he is doing something we don't want, like digging in the backyard, I corrected him once and signaled him not to do what he was doing. He immediately stopped, sat down and looked at me. He wasn't scared, nervous or showed any signs of anxiety. I signaled him to come to me. He instantly trotted to me with his head high and tail wagging then sat down at the left side of me starring at my face. I gave him lots of praise and loving pats and rubs. When we go for our daily walks, he walks and stays on my left side. He doesn't try to drag me in an direction. His leash is hanging between us. He is very attentive to me looking for any hand signals. He doesn't get distracted anymore by outdoor activities going on in our neighborhood. He will look towards the distraction but he doesn't try to drag me to it anymore. Neighbors used to joke with me about who is walking who but not anymore. They are very impressed with his demeanor and body language showing calmness, happiness and confidence. My dog makes me proud even more now. Thank you, K9 Instincts, for everything you have done for my wife, me and my canine family. I can't thank you enough.

I was apprehensive about using collar training for my rescue dog. He's a hound/pitbull mix who is…read moreyoung and very strong. While completely lovable, he was out of control when he first came to our house. While playing in the back yard, he nearly bit my BFF because he was so excited about running around and playing. I had taken another, far more docile dog to K9 Instincts for boarding for many years. Matt & his staff were exceptionally kind and caring to Rachel. I knew they also did training so I decided to call and have Axle evaluated. Axle went for a 3 week "boot camp" and it was completely worth the time and expense. Even though it's "shock collar" training, it completely transformed his behavior. After the first three or four months, we began to use the collar periodically in situations where we knew he may have some problems (he was rescued from a fighting dog situation, so he still struggles with other dogs). It's now really a pleasure to be out and about with Axle. While talking, Matt mentioned that I would probably enjoy Axle much more with training. He was completely right. I no longer have anxiety that Axle will be out of control and a threat to others.

Kennedy K9 Daycare is absolutely wonderful!…read more My dog would literally drag me to the door because she was so excited to go in! That alone says it all. What really sets Kennedy K9 apart is that the staff don't just sit back and monitor the dogs -- they actively interact with them, engage with them, and make sure they're having a great time. It's clear they genuinely care about the dogs and their happiness. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in a place where she was not only safe but also loved, engaged, and excited to be there. I can't say enough good things about Kennedy K9 Daycare. If your dog could write a review, I'm sure it would be five paws up! Janet Depathy

He's almost 2 years old…read morenow and I love him to pieces he is so well-mannered and well-tempered but even more important just a loveable goofball. He loves his humans so much and is such a cuddle bug. Everyday when I come home from work he runs up to me and sits on my lap. He's a big handsome boy as well, he's always soaking up compliments. When we got him we worried about how he'd treat his old man brother Reggie who is 11 and a small dog. (Worried he'd try to play too rough) But he listened to Reggie's body language and quickly learned that he was to be Gentle with his older brother and adapted a play style of kissing and cuddling Reggie. I love Dobie so much he's a healthy, big, handsome, goofball with a great temperament but also so much personality. When we got Dobie, working with Dylan was also very great. Communication was easy and he was able to answer all of our questions and any concerns. I could tell he cared and loved the pups and wanted them to go to a safe, loving home.

BEST Doggie Daycare/Boarding Ever!…read more This review is unbiased from someone that has been going here for over 9 + years. If you are like me, your fur babies are your family and only trust their care to the BEST, then The Executive Dog is the place you need. One of my dogs (Rocko) has been going to Executive Dog since he was 9 months old, and is now 9.5 years old. Since then we added another furbaby to our family and Scarlett has been going there as well since she was 6 months old. The Executive Dog, Inc.is the best place for our furry kids. Not only do my dogs love going there ( they bark and screech as soon as I get on the street all the way down to the lot and then try to jump out the window as soon as I pull into the parking lot). I mention going to "school" and the freakout with excitement and run around the house before waiting at the door to go! They are exhausted from such fun-filled days ~ that when they get home, they eat and then sleep until the morning. A tired dog is a good dog. I feel bad when I cannot bring them in because they love it so much. They have also taken great care of my dog with grooming, as well as overnight stays (including 2+ weeks).They always have a spot open for Rocko and Scarlett when I need it. I have boarded them for 1 night to up to 19 nights, and they absolutely adore Shelley, Ashley and Amy and the crew over at The Executive Dog. I definitely recommend this for the best Daycare, Grooming and Boarding .
