Everything. Julie is a very experienced trainer of dogs…read more She has trained my 2 standard poodles. They were 11 years apart, as I have used Julie on both. What I especially liked is Julie trains the owner not just the pup. It is not that Julie trains the dogs, but to me the most important part, is she step by step has the owner and pup work together. This enables the owner to work daily with their pup at home with the proper foundation for learning. I highly recommend Julie! Julie can teach you, the owner, but you actually train your own Pup with her assistance and what you learn in class.

Our current dogs are, let's say, special. And so needed a lot of extra training. One is extra anxious and was terrified of the other because of a cone of shame situation that required separating them for 2 months. Julie gave us the tools to bring them back together safely and confidently!

Katie and Mia are amazing! We have a husky/cane corso mix, 90 lbs at least! They helped us when he…read morewas a little pup and have helped us reinforce as he has gotten older. They are professional, knowledgeable and full of love for the animals that they train and care for. I have boarded my dog there many times and am always pleased with the results. They teach us as well as our animals. I would not hesitate to recommend CRT K9 dog training. They have made a wonderful difference in our life and the life of our dog.

Katie Lekas Canine Rehab Training K9---Trainer…read moreRecommendation Just the best possible experience we could have hoped for---We have a five year old American Black Lab, Trooper. He was entrenched behind two earlier professional attempts at basic training, years of uncontrollable bad behaviors and outbursts with any visitor to our home--he was impossible to appreciate. I had seen our neighbors hire Katie for their pup and asked her to come and give us an opinion of our boy to see if there was any chance of getting the wild one to settle down. Even our last trainer had ended their efforts with the comment: "Good luck with that one." No one could have prepared me. Within 5 minutes she had him wrapped around her little finger trying his very best to please her. Who was this and how could a complete stranger command such attention and respect from the incorrigible wonder? And how I get her to come again and train our dog? Her lifelong experience and knowledge of how to handle canines is extensive. She worked with both my husband and I as a team and within two sessions, I could see a massive change in Trooper's whole personality. From being an arrogant, acting out, rude toddler (his true personae at the time) to a truly enjoyable and loving pet wanting to do what we asked, Katie made it happen. Her training skills but mostly her measured, disciplined techniques gave us a whole new Trooper to love. Anyone working with her will find it immediately apparent that she is a very professional, dependable and organized lady with years of practice and a never-ending toolkit of responsive and efficient solutions for all dog breeds. She was always ready to answer any question we had in our very chaotic, stress filled atmosphere. Katie simply sets about bringing everything to calm order and real, palpable progress with every training assignment. She knows all the ways to make things work "canine"-- and the best part it, it comes naturally to her. She is so worth every penny of what you learn from her but in learning from her, you know you have gained a lifetime treasure that will always be with you. I cannot imagine not having found her to help us. Do not hesitate--I would be happy to speak to anyone on her behalf. Just know that all dogs in this world have the best in what she is, the Best Trainer you can find.

This review is long overdue! We did the 3-week day train program with Strategic K9 earlier this…read moreyear, and the difference in our dog's behavior is truly night and day. From the very beginning, communication and scheduling with Michelle and the team was easy and stress-free. Kevin did such a great job training our dog, he really tailored the program to fit her bubbly personality and brought out the best in her. Not only did he teach her, he gave us helpful tips and tricks to keep things going once she came home. We also boarded our dog with them during our honeymoon, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. We can't thank Kevin and Michelle enough for everything they've done, we are so grateful! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, effective, and personalized training.

I don't think I could have raised my new pup without Nicole's help!! My 8 month French Bulldog was…read moreoverstimulated, jumped on people, couldn't settle on his own, couldn't walk on a leash, and was afraid of stairs. When I reached out to Nicole to make a training appointment, she was so understanding and helpful and gave me several things I could change right away to start working with my pup. Like magic, those several things improved his behavior within a week. We decided on a board and train and I am so grateful I did! My pup came back so much calmer. He was able to calm himself, stay on place, sit before thresholds, walk calmly on a leash, go up and down stairs, and look at me for direction. When picking him up I was taught everything he learned and what I needed to be the confident leader for my pup. What is most meaningful to me about working with Nicole is the open line of communication she keeps once you take your pup home. She was always available through text or a call to walk me through any questions or issues I had implementing the new training. I needed just as much support as my pup did and I definitely received it from Nicole. I highly and whole heartedly recommend Nicole for any and all pet training. I have since developed a closer bond with my pup because his calmer, confident, and less stressed and that is all thanks to Nicole

She knew exactly how to work with my dog, my boyfriend and myself. She taught us how to be "the most exciting things in the room" and hold our dog's attention. My little Kayla does an array of tricks: sit, stay, down, crawl, stand, rollover (her favorite), touch, high five, shake, etc. Amanda did not simply train our dog to do tricks; she made sure that we as the owners were the ones doing the training, and taught us how to keep teaching Kayla to do new tricks in the future. Furthermore, she helped us along the way with questions and concerns that we had as first time dog owners.

We came to Amanda totally desperate, thinking we may have to give up our sweet little pit bull,…read moreMaebe. Maebe is a rescue dog and she gets nervous and scared around new people. This nervousness manifested in showing aggression a couple times when she felt threatened by strangers. Since my fiance and I plan to have children in her lifetime, we were told by our previous trainer that Maebe would not be a good dog with kids in the house, and we should give her back to the rescue. We were devastated at the thought of having to give her up. We called Pit Bull Rescue San Diego and told them our dilemma. They recommended Amanda, citing her history in rehabilitating skiddish pit bulls. Our first session with Amanda ended in complete relief and hope that we can have Maebe as a dog with children in the house. Amanda showed us how to change Maebe's fears into happiness with lots of positive reinforcement whenever something scary was nearby. She worked out Maebe's fear of bikes, skateboards, and strangers. Amanda showed us how to control the situation in all cases, and keep our dog calm and happy at all times. A few months later, we now have a great, happy dog with a large repertoire of tricks. We have had parties at our house with many new people, and the dog handled it great thanks to Amanda's tips. She still gets scared of people, but we know exactly what to do to manage the situation for the best possible outcome for our dog, our guests, and our future kids. Amanda worked around our schedule, came to our house, and kept our dog in our family. I couldn't be happier!

They come to you, which makes the process convenient and helps the trainer work with your dog in the exact environment where the behavior matters most. Katie was professional, patient, and very knowledgeable. She explained everything clearly, tailored the training to my dog's needs, and gave me simple steps to follow between sessions. I saw real progress quickly, and my dog is calmer, more responsive, and much easier to manage day to day. If you are considering dog training, I highly recommend Wolf Girl Canine Club. When you reach out, ask for Katie.

I appreciate how…read moreKatie will try to match their potty schedule as much as possible since one of my dogs poops up to 4 times a day and easily gets diarrhea and the other one cannot hold her bladder for long. I let Katie know how anxious they can get and she has been so empathetic and caring with them. I was and am continually impressed with how she always places the dogs comfort and safety first. We haven't boarded them yet (not needed for a while), but we are working on getting them comfortable with her so that it won't be a big shock and trauma to them when I leave them for the first time. They've met with her twice and already love her. Just one of the dogs has extreme anxiety and separation anxiety so when I'm not around, they easily freak out which is why I scheduled for more frequent day care days before the boarding date in order to make the boarding less stressful. Her patience with my anxious babies makes me feel very comfortable in leaving them with her. She treats my dogs how I would treat them (actually probably even better and with more patience). And I'm so impressed that I do plan to do biweekly or monthly (depending on what my budget allows) daycare with her so that the dogs will be able to have fun away from home but in a controlled and monitored environment with someone that prioritizes their comfort and safety. Her prices are super reasonable too! Side note, the dogs are trained in another language and she makes the extra effort to learn the commands in the other language for them. I didn't expect this, and am very appreciative of the effort.

Our 4 month old puppy, Atlas, had a rough start at life and I was so worried he would lose so much of his progress if we went away, but Mia stepped in and helped out so much with his training and care! He came back such a great walker with good habits and better manners with other pups and people. I met with Mia before deciding to do the board and train and she was so detailed and knowledgeable. It made me feel very comfortable with her and Atlas. We discussed in detail his current training, my goals, and concerns and worries I had, etc. She was very thorough and made sure to keep us updated on his progress while we were away. Could not recommend Mia more for any training or boarding your pup may need!! Next time we are out of town I know where he will be staying!

While our corgi will always be a unique challenge , I am now much more confident in how to work with her. Mias approach to training truly takes into account the dogs personality and also family dynamic. I'm thankful we found her . She is also available to help post training. No board in train will ever "fix" your dog so as new issues arrive in so thankful to have Mia as a resource to help me problem solve!
