A Very Good K9

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about these dog trainers. From the very beginning, it was clear that they don’t just train dogs … they genuinely care about them and treat every dog as if they were their own. That level of compassion and dedication makes such a difference. Since working with them, I have seen an incredible improvement in my dog’s structure, confidence, and overall behavior. The guidance and training techniques they provided not only helped my dog understand expectations, but also are helping me become a better, more confident owner. The results have been life-changing for both of us. What really sets them apart is how much they care. They take the time to truly understand each dog’s personality and needs, and they make both the dog and the owner feel like family th

We sent our dog Archer to AVGK9 for both a 2-week board and train at 16 weeks for foundational manners, and again for a 4-week adventure board and train when he was about a year and a half. Haley and Austin are truly incredible at what they do. They treat every dog like their own and put so much care, consistency, and knowledge into their training. Archer came home better trained than I ever could have imagined. His confidence, manners, and overall obedience have grown so much thanks to them. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team to trust with our dog. If you’re looking for trainers who genuinely love what they do and deliver amazing results, Haley and Austin at AVGK9 are the best of the best.

Too many good things to say about Austin & Haley. Fisher, our bloodhound, participated in the adventure board & train along with many single sessions. They granted him freedom with off leash training, confidence in his encounters with daily obstacles, and an extraordinary improvement with his dog reactivity. If you are a hound owner dealing with a psycho pup who darts at everything or are someone with a reactive dog please please please trust AVeryGoodK9. Fisher loves them and so do we. Our quality of life is so much better and we will continue with lessons whenever they visit Maine!

After meeting Haley and Austin for the first time, with my 1 year old German Shepherd, I knew I was in good hands. Very knowledgeable and professional from day 1. They answered any and all questions I had before,during and after the month long board and training program I signed up for. They took great care of my dog like he was one of their own. The amount of education my dog received in one month was amazing. I did my shopping for a professional dog trainer for my German Shepherd and they checked all the boxes. I will give their names with the highest regards when anyone asks for a suggestion on a trainer.

Austin and Haley are truly exceptional at what they do. Beyond being some of the most kind and humble individuals I’ve ever met, they also happen to be world class dog trainers. I am very selective about who I trust with my dogs, but I would leave them in Austin and Haley’s care in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
