CRK9 Idaho

Most of the time I do short reviews, but CRK9 deserves far more. Be prepared for a long read My vet recommended CRK9 to me when I asked about training for my pup. I was nervous due to the breed, potential temperament, and size of my dog. I called Kevin and Allie when my puppy was about 3 months old. From the first phone call I was given advice and directions that become pivotal to my dog’s and my future. My wife and I have been taking private sessions and since we began we have been given directions that have been clearly explained, and are easy to follow. The results have been outstanding and I’ve gotten nothing but compliments about my dog’s behavior even with him still being a puppy at 5 months. Further more, I’ve always felt respected as a trainer. If I’m doing something wrong Kevin a

I enrolled my dog in the board and train program, and the timing worked out perfectly since I was going on vacation. Throughout the first couple of weeks, I received consistent updates via photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. During the third week, my pup began working in public settings, and then I was able to join in and learn how to continue the training myself. Kevin has a very clear teaching style—they’re patient, knowledgeable, and easy to understand. I left feeling confident about how to keep reinforcing the training at home. I’m extremely happy with the experience and the progress my dog has made!

Kevin and Allie did amazing work with my rescue bully, Arlo at their board and train program. After being on the streets and not knowing his background, I rescued my boy around the age of 4 and he came with dog reactivity and a hard time trusting dogs that came into his space without feeling like he had to defend himself. He also had severe separation anxiety from me. I couldn’t leave his eye sight without him getting super anxious, crying and barking until I returned. This caused some pretty major issues after moving to Idaho and wanting to enjoy the hiking trails without constant anxiety and worry if an off leash dog ran up to us and how arlo would react. Kevin worked with him daily to reinforce strong basic commands which would translate during high stress situations and teach him h

I am so incredibly grateful for Kevin's expertise. I was in over my head with a 6-year-old male Blue Heeler I had just gotten from the shelter. So of course, he came with baggage I wasn't able to deal with on my own. Kevin worked with me and Jackson once a week for 9 sessions and the results were absolutely amazing. The compliments I get from people for how well-mannered Jackson has become are all due to Kevin's training methods. Just 2 months ago I had a "Cujo" dog I really didn't think I would be able to keep. Kevin gave me the tools to keep going with confidence. And Jackson is now a permanent part of my family. Thank you, Kevin, you rescued us both!!!

I am beyond grateful for Kevin and Allie! We had our hands full with my 6.5yr old Border Collie Auzzi, he has an incredible amount of drive and energy that we just didn’t know how to manage. After completing the Board and Train program, we now have the tools and understanding to handle him confidently. Kevin and Allie provided everything we needed to set us up for success. They took the time to explain not just what they were doing, but why. We loved receiving weekly videos showing his progress, and they were always quick to answer any questions we had along the way. They made sure Auzzi and our family were comfortable and confident before bringing him home. We are 100% satisfied with our experience with CRK9. Their knowledge, patience, and passion for what they do truly show. I couldn’t r
