That meant so much and really showed how much they care. The whole process has felt very supportive and hands-on. I'll be honest..it was hard for me at first to leave Zoey for boarding, but they made it so much easier with constant updates, videos, and clear communication. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they work with. They are incredibly knowledgeable and take the time to explain not just what to do, but why it works. I really appreciated how they included me in the training process and collaborated as a team. What I'm most grateful for is how much confidence they've helped me build..not just for Zoey, but in myself as her owner. Because of them, I feel more comfortable taking her out, interacting with other dogs and people, and truly enjoying our relationship. Zoey absolutely loves them..she gets excited every time she sees them and is always ready to go with them, which says everything. I'm beyond thankful for their flexibility, support, and the love they've shown Zoey. I can't recommend them enough.

My family and I had such a great experience working with Kristin and Manny at MTM K-9! We cannot…read moreexpress enough how grateful we are to have found such caring and dedicated trainers for our very anxious doggie, Squirty! When we first rescued Squirty, the shelter told us he came from an abusive home and therefore was very timid and afraid of essentially everything. We knew we would have a lot to work on, but his sweetness and gentle disposition won us over. In the 2.5 years that we had him, he made a lot of progress on becoming more trusting and less fearful in our home. However, getting him outdoors was still a battle. Every little outdoor noise scared him and he would use all his strength pulling on the leash to find a hiding spot or get back inside the house. Every walk attempt was a dreaded struggle and I'll admit we began to put in less work in making him go outside to walk. To make things worse, our already big boy (pitbull) started gaining more weight from the lack of exercise and our lax food/treat giving. We saw that he was starting to become more lazy and that this was leading to an unhealthy and unfulfilling life for squirty, and a change needed to be made! We took the leap to seek out professional help, and thank god we found just what we were looking for in Kristin and Manny! Right from the start they very responsive and thorough in answering our questions and walking us through the different types of programs they had. We ended up going with the Modified Board & Train 6 week program, and we are so happy we chose this one over the less intensive options! This gave Squirty 3 whole days of weekly training and bonding time with Kristin and Manny. The pickup and drop off service was so convenient and Squirty was noticeably more eager to go to school and see his trainers each week. The amount of patience, compassion, and dedication that Kristin and Manny gave Squirty was clear from the very first week of training. Our big boy was a tough case and had so much fear to work through, but they took their time with him and always came up with solutions that kept him progressing and reaching new milestones. They not only educated and built Squirty's confidence, but ours as well! We learned so much from them on our end of week sessions and we felt so supported on our training journey the whole way through. By the end of the 6 week program, Squirty had lost 10lbs, responded to a whole list of commands, and was now going on mile+ walks! He's now so much more energetic and willing to explore the outdoors. My family and I are forever grateful to Kristin and Manny for helping us implement this change and for creating a new hopeful and healthy future for Squirty! We highly recommend MTM K-9 to anyone else who is struggling with their fur baby! You won't be disappointed!

Dave teaches the owner (not just the dog) which in my opinion makes a world of difference when it comes to bonding and obedience with your dog. Our 6 month old leash pulling Doberman puppy no longer drags me across the street. I highly recommend K-9 Adventures to owners with dogs that may be reactive or aggressive as Dave's years of experience as a dog trainer will help guide any dog owner on how to handle their dog from age puppy to "can't reach an old dog". Please read the articles he's written on his website. He put a lot of time and thought into them and you will automatically get the feel for his love of canines and their capabilities each one has.

I had never hired someone to come in and care for my cat before while we were away so I was a very apprehensive about everything. However, Kylie was amazing, professional, and took such excellent care of Loki while we were away. From the moment I met with her for the consult she was so kind and put me at ease. While we were away she was amazing and it really gave us piece of mind that our family member was taken care of. I had previously tried the pet walking apps out there and found inconsistent results, plus it was difficult to get the same person all the time. The whole experience just really did not leave me confident in hiring someone to walk my dog. But When I started using Fire Hydrant pet sitting , that all changed. Since I had such a great experience with this company when they watched Loki, I began using them to walk my dog Obi and have been using them regularly since. Kylie's team can handle big strong dogs without a problem and are great at reinforcing the proper obedience techniques that we have tried to teach our dog to have. Kylie and her team are amazing and go above and beyond. You can tell that they are true animal lovers and enjoy what they do. They come and walk Obi 4 times a week (even during the pandemic). This has been a game changer for our big dog that needs lots of exercise. I love that he gets to participate in pack walks sometimes, and Obi loves his time with his doggy friends. I will never use anyone else again, and tell everyone I know about this wonderful company. Kylie and her team are hands down the best. If you are not sure, give them a try and you will not be disappointed. It can be hard to trust someone with your fur babies, but don't worry, they have you covered.
