If you are reading this, your search for dog training stops here. This is the place you need and…read morethey will change your life! This sounds a little over the top BUT I'm not lying. I tell our trainers Katie and Nicole all of the time that they are life savers. We brought our puppy here at 1 years old - a small wild, energetic Jack Russell who knew every time I was on a video meeting to bark his head off and embarrass me EVERY TIME! Walks were out of the question since he would pull on the leash to the point he would choke himself... sitting on the deck was a nightmare in our own backyard because he would bark at the wind (yes, the wind), the leaves moving, the birds and obviously the neighbors. Does this sound familiar? I questioned my decision of getting a puppy and then I found Max K9. We did a 3 week Board & Train where I was super hesitant of dropping him off (because no one wants to leave their baby anywhere), but they were so good with sending video progress and pictures and including my husband and I in the process. I joke with everyone that I think they implanted a program into his brain! Lol! The transformation was unreal. We were instantly able to communicate with him and actually go on a walk.. outside in the real world. What a breath of fresh air, literally! Max K9 has given us the ability to live an active lifestyle and have our pup enjoy it with us. Hikes, traveling, morning walks, trips to the store, brewery visits, long car rides out of state... you name it. I would do it all over again if I had to without a question. So if you've made it this far, thanks for reading. I hope this helps you make your decision to having a better relationship with your pup and enjoying life with them every step of the way.

The BEST training service you will ever use. My fiancé and I rescued a large rotti mix, Keiko, in…read moreJanuary. We were having trouble trying to help him adjust from living in the south on a large property to living in a one bedroom apartment with cats and a smaller back yard. We were set up with our trainer, Jim, he educated us on how to handle Keiko properly (from basic obedience to different enrichment), build a better bridge of communication and help with his confidence. Our last session Keiko even decided he was going to try one of the obstacles from maximum K9's agility course (no prompting from us) shocking both me and my fiancé. Safe to say Keiko loves Maximum K9 as much as we do . Since our training we have been able to do so much more and get Keiko better involved in our activities (which we know he loves). They also have so many great treats, toys, and training tools for those at varying levels in their store portion.

I have been visiting this shelter for a couple of years usually donating old bedding and towels…read more Every so often we check to see if they have a medium sized dog. This visit we asked if they had a small to medium sized dog and the woman who worked there hesitated and said how about a 30 pound dog. I said sure why not, let's take a look. She brought us to a private room and let us check out Whoopie, a cute terrier mix. She stayed with us a long as we wanted to make sure that we were a good fit. We fell in love with Whoopie and filled out the paper work. The next day we got a call and were notified that we were accepted for adoption. We rushed back over as soon as we could, signed a few papers and off we went with our new 3 year old girl. The employees that work there are so nice. They answered all of our questions and made sure to give us Whoopie's favorite bed and all of her toys and a few days of food and treats. We tried other private shelters and rescue facilities previously and had bad experiences with workers/volunteers on a power trip. They made the adoption process so difficult even though we had adopted a 6 year old Jack Russell that lived with us for 10 years until he passed. So we are experienced with shelter dogs but apparently that didn't matter to the private shelters. Any way NFAWL or Southold Animal Shelter is great and the employees are very kind and will show your around if you are interested in just looking or adopting. They also have a beautiful bunch of cats, I'm allergic so no cats for me. Also guinea pigs and ferrets and maybe some other creatures. Conveniently located across the street from Greenport Brewery, so stop in after a drink or 2 and check out some beautiful animals.

My husband and have been coming here every so often to donate blankets and towels and to check out…read morethe dogs for adoption. We lost our Jack Russell 3 years ago we were hoping to find a similar small dog. Two weeks ago we asked if they had any small dogs they said they had a medium size dog and showed us Woopie who is a 3 year old mixed terrier and was also housebroken! She was so sweet and lovable we knew immediately she was the one for us! Everyone at the shelter was very nice and helpful though out the whole adoption process. I would hope more people would consider adoption before buying a dog.
