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.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Russ and Anthony at Enlighten Dogs in Cherry Valley. I…read morebrought my dog Sage to them specifically for behavioral training, and the experience has been exceptional. Sage needed more than basic obedience training--she had behavioral issues that I was genuinely concerned about, and I wanted trainers who were knowledgeable, experienced, patient, and capable of working with a strong dog. From the beginning, Russ and Anthony took the time to understand Sage as an individual instead of treating her like just another dog in a training program. Their knowledge of dog behavior really shows. They have worked with Sage in a way that provides structure and clear expectations while still building her confidence. The difference I have seen in her behavior has been incredible. Just as importantly, they have helped me better understand Sage, what triggers certain behaviors, and how I can continue reinforcing her training at home. You can tell Russ and Anthony truly care about the dogs entrusted to them. I felt comfortable knowing Sage was in capable hands, which means a lot when you're trusting someone with a dog you love. If you have a dog with behavioral challenges and are looking for trainers who take the work seriously, I highly recommend Enlighten Dogs. Russ and Anthony have put so much time, patience, and expertise into Sage, and I am extremely grateful for everything they've done for her. Thank you, Russ and Anthony, for helping Sage become the best version of herself. You guys are amazing! -- Deborah & Sage

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!
