    Adam Rojas has been a miracle worker with our rescue, Prescott. Our sweet little twelve pound…read moredoxy/chihuaha has a tendency to snap and bite if he feels triggered, particularly if I get near his neck with leash or harness. This has made attempting to walk him a recurrent moment of panic for me, which has only emboldened Prescott to continue this behavior. He has even bitten me on several occasions, as well as my wife (though less frequently) albeit often enough to make us feel unsafe in our own home. We've been through several trainers, behaviorists, doctors and specialists; we've explored treatments for his spinal pain (pain meds, crating) to quell his agitation, and also began giving him Prozac to ease any anxiety or trauma he may suffer from. Ultimately, all of these measures did not adequately resolve the problem. Needless to say, after this saga of several years, we were at our wits end. Enter Adam Rojas: a true dog whisperer, he approached Prescott masterfully, equal parts dominant and compassionate, essentially mesmerizing my wife and I at his ability to make our little Napolean so submissive. It was a wonder to see, like sitting front row at a Las Vegas show in our own living room! Adam has been patient and instructive, always giving us specific action steps, techniques and clear explanations, all the while training my wife and I to provide Prescott with the pack leadership he so craves. Adam has been available by text and phone, continuing to reassure and answer any questions. He's taught us to correct Prescott's behavior in a timely and appropriate manner with commands and use of the leash; we've even learned to use the electric collar, of which Adam took great pains to teach us how to use effectively. The net result of these sessions has been a profoundly better adjusted doggie, and a much calmer and happier mommy and daddy! We didn't know where else to turn, and this instruction has made a world of difference! We heartily recommend Adam & K9 for their outstanding professionalism and excellent results.

    I can't recommend Susan's PlayTrainDog classes enough. We took both puppy kindergarten and basic…read moredoggy manners with PlayTrainDog, and we're so happy Susan helped give our Willow such a positive start in life. We adopted Willow when she was 8 weeks old. Before her, we had a wonderful dog who unfortunately had some fear issues with other dogs. We knew we needed positive socialization for Willow as early in life as possible, so we looked for the best training experience to get her into as soon as she was ready. We're so glad we found Susan. Willow loved her weekend training sessions at the park with her new friends so much. Being able to learn and play with other well behaved pups in such a positive group setting was an invaluable experience that we absolutely treasure. Puppy kindergarten really helped with basic socialization. Willow was shy when she was little. She hid under our lawn chair during part of the first class and just watched the other puppies from a safe place. In the group classes Susan made sure puppies were matched with others close to their own size and energy level, so shyer puppies could have a low key, non threatening introduction to each other. Gradually Willow gained confidence around even friskier pups, and now she loves other dogs of all sizes and energy levels, so much. She will actually try to match herself to the other dogs, so she is happy to frisk with high energy dogs, but with smaller or even shy big dogs, she'll lay down and play gently at their level. One of the first things she learned in puppy class was the Touch command, and that has really helped with her confidence and manners when meeting people. We didn't realize how important this command was, until after she had graduated from the puppy classes, and we took a trip to visit family. She was 8 months old and had already gained a lot of confidence from classes. But unexpectedly, we had not one but two different grownup male relatives who love dogs, but thought it would be fun to play-bark at her. She got really nervous around them, and afterward when we took her in public during that trip, she became suspicious when meeting men and even growled when a large man she didn't know approached her. We went back to basics and asked family as well as new people to introduce themselves by putting their hand out, and asked her to "Touch" their hand. This put her more in charge of the interaction, and allowed her to feel more relaxed and confident around new people. Now she has really gotten past that anxiety. She is so happy to meet people and dogs that when she gets close to them, she often melts into a lay-down while doing a full body wag-crawl toward them, to show how much she wants to meet and be friends. Lol. We also learned the 'Watch Me' command, which helps in so many situations. It helps to refocus and connect during walks, and when we're out in public if she's becoming distracted or excited. It helps 'get her head back in the game' so to speak. Together with 'leave-it', it helps with impulse control, so she can focus on me and remember her training. We learned so much in these classes but it's funny that the most basic things are proving to be the most important every day. In Basic Doggy Manners, we built on earlier skills and learned to help her be a better companion out in the world. She learned a solid heel, loose-leash walking, and a 3-second recall. She learned to pass other dogs or distractions without pulling, and working dog commands so we can communicate non-verbally, or at a distance. All these things we practice every day, and it helps build our bond always using positive reinforcement and life rewards. Willow is a border collie and a big thing for her is pulling toward things that roll, ie bicycles, roller skaters, trucks, golf carts, motorcycles. Susan helped us address this and learn how to help her, so she can be safer in public with us. We are still working on this, but so glad we have the tools to help her, and are seeing improvement. In addition to all these things, we learned to apply the 3 D's of dog training (distance, distraction, duration) throughout her training activities, and learned to use life rewards to motivate her. Willow isn't very food motivated, but she is very play-motivated, so we learned to use that to reward her for mastering new behaviors. This is a lot I know, but I'm leaving out so much more that we learned. We had so much fun and learned so much in these training sessions, and we practice and continue to build on the things we learned every day. We treasure the experience and absolutely recommend Susan's PlayTrainDog classes for anyone who wants to give their puppy the best possible start in life.

We were at our wits end with him and not sure where to go or what to do. Other trainers had told us to do things that were absolutely not working. Sean was great with training not only Kobe but us as well on how to work with Kobe on establishing good behaviors and what to do when he loses his mind and reverts back to some bad behaviors. Thank you Sean you were a lifesaver and we would recommend you to anyone who needs training. It is really hard to leave you pet with someone for two weeks, so we really loved the daily video updates

    Do not use! They use clients' dogs as bait dogs to test the success of their aggressive dog…read moretraining! After reading the positive reviews, my boyfriend entrusted GI K9 to work with his rescue pup on her aggressive/defensive tendencies, inclusive of a 3 week boarding and training program in October 2022. Shawn, the owner, told him with confidence that he thought she'd significantly improve with a 2 week training (a hefty price tag at $140/night). GI K9 then weaseled another $1,000 out of my boyfriend for a promising additional week of training, providing false hope that it would make an even bigger difference. On the evening of 11/16/2022, my boyfriend took his dog to group training at GI K9, which he gained access to on an unlimited basis after completing the 3 week training. Fabian (trainer) wanted to try an exercise - harnessing and tying up my boyfriend's 65 lb dog while walking another group training attendee's dog in front of her as bait. My boyfriend questioned the safety of this exercise but was assured by Fabian that it would be okay. My boyfriend's dog easily got loose and attacked the other dog, requiring 2 grown men to pull the dogs apart. This should have never happened. There was a severe lack of judgment on Fabian's decision to execute this training exercise. GI K9 should have evaluated the risks associated with this exercise, which my non-expert boyfriend quickly acknowledged was questionable at best. GI K9 will not refund my boyfriend, despite the clear lack of success in their training plan, and have basically blown smoke up his and the other family's behinds that they can't refund either party due to the time they spent training (which again, obviously wasn't successful). How has GI K9 attempted to resolve this issue? Shawn's solution is additional training... how insulting. Do you trust them to act in your pet's best interest after hearing this? Shawn claims they'll be creating a new group training structure moving forward to separate aggressive and non-aggressive dogs; where was that common sense prior to this incident? He also claims he'll be addressing Fabian's lack of judgment on the matter; how does that change the crushed hope we had that this ongoing training would help? It took Shawn until the next day to even contact my boyfriend acknowledging the incident, despite the fact that he was made aware of it by Fabian the evening it occurred. My boyfriend is absolutely devastated and the other family is traumatized, and understandably so. Please, for the sake of your furry loved ones, reconsider using GI K9. This has caused us great heartbreak after getting our hopes up for a successful training and draining the bank account. GI K9's lack of reconciliation on the matter has only added salt to the wound. The only respectable action on GI K9's part in this entire situation was Fabian's acknowledgement of full responsibility for the lapse in judgment that led to the attack.
