Idaho K9 Academy

We had a fantastic experience working with Robert! He did an amazing job helping us with our two energetic puppies, Ember and Aspen—they’re definitely a handful. Robert was patient, kind, and encouraging throughout the process. He clearly communicated his expectations to the pups and established healthy boundaries for them to follow. Thanks to his guidance, we now have a strong foundation to build on as we continue their training. We're so grateful for his help!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Robert as a dog trainer for my pup, Whiskey, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the moment we started, Whiskey was so excited to go to training sessions, which is a testament to Robert's engaging and positive approach. Thanks to Robert's amazing e-collar training techniques, Whiskey now has the best manners. I was particularly impressed with how well he responded to commands; everything is down to a tee! We started his basic training as soon as he was old enough, and after a couple of months, we returned for advanced training. It was fantastic to see how much more mature he had become, allowing him to touch up on old skills while learning new tricks. I love the extra little tricks he picked up along the way! One of the biggest ben

My Border Collie/Aussie, Maggie, loved her class and her trainer, Robert. She would get so excited in the car as soon as she recognized where we were going. Robert helped with Maggie's listening skills and help me to know how to help focus her attention on what I wanted her to do, not whatever she wants to do. Maggie is such a great dog and K9 Academy helped me so much in bring out her potential.

I recently put my newly adopted 3 yr old Cane Corso Mastiff through Idaho K9s 5 week dog obedience course and I can't thank Robert enough for the wonders he worked with her. Deja came to me with some pretty bad habits and very wary of men. Although she bonded to me quickly once I brought her home, she wasnt listening to me or respecting my lead. She took to Robert right away and was so excited to see him each week. He takes the time to go over what he worked on with your pup at the end of each session and demonstrates the commands. I am amazed at how quickly my girl picked up his instruction. You definitely need to keep up the training at home, but the foundation is solid after completion of the course. Today I took Deja back for a little tune up session and she did amazing and was excite

Robert was phenomenal and friendly with our human family and invited an immediate bond with our loved dog, Duchess. By the third visit she wagged her tail when he came in the room and was willing to bid us goodbye while flopping over on the floor asking for belly rubs from her trusted trainer, Robert. We were blessed to bring in our other dogs to simulate the situation we had concerns of at home. Robert was able to advise and coach each of us how to train a proper behavior and prevent further intimidating sceneries we had formerly experienced at home with dogs interacting. A real live training session to handle exactly what we needed help with. Such a blessing and valuable experience. Allison also helped us with training some structure for one of our small dogs to be respectful with some n
