Hands down the best around!! Our dog Koda was fortunate enough to do the 4 week boarding and training program with Stephan and K9 Conditioning. As a 160 pound Boreboel Mastiff, her size, weight and strength intimidated many people and trainers. Not Stephan. When we had our initial conversation and I let him know our concerns, he didn't even bat an eye and knew exactly how to help. I grew up on a farm and trained small and large animals as big as horses and cows. I had reached a point where my skill level and understanding of training fell short for teaching such a large breed dog. Stephan not only jumped right in but took control immediately. While she was away from our care being trained by the best company around, communication never stopped. Stephan texted us daily to let us know what

We have 4 German Shepherds, one of our pups (Thierry) has a very high work drive which made our daily lives challenging. We couldn’t bring her out in public due to her intensity and need to please. Thierry also had an obsession with any lawn litter and would repeatedly place any pine needle, pine cone, or toothpick sized stick on any part of your body that it would stay on, this was her endless task in life. Stephan and K9 Conditioning gave Thierry structure that allows her to utilize her instinct and gave us the tools to harness all of that energy. K9 Conditioning has changed her life tremendously and impacted ours just as much. Stephan was very professional and courteous and gave Thierry and us very personalized attention and support. When he brought Thierry home to us he spent time wi

K9 Conditioning took in Kyro, our Doberman and showed him a new lifestyle of learning and understanding. The team did an amazing job creating a welcoming atmosphere for Kyro as he came from the shelter. K9 Conditioning was able to shape and mold Kyro into a permission based lifestyle . From when we dropped him off till today, K9 Conditioning kept in contact with us daily with updates and milestones Kyro has met, that meant the world to us. Overall, this experience was amazing and has now made training with Kyro a great and positive experience. We are excited to keep up with his training and attend the once a month training and be part of the K9 Conditioning community.

I am very late at posting this review. I highly recommend K9 Conditioning to anyone needing assistance with dog training. My 2 1/2 year old Australian Shepherd Canela, all of a sudden, started having resource guarding and reactivity towards other dogs. We did the 2 week board and train this past summer. Stephen was GREAT. He sent pictures/videos almost daily. He kept me well informed and gave me detailed instructions on what I needed to work on. Yes you read it right. A lot of times we the humans are part of the problem. Although Canela is still a work in progress (as training never stops) she is doing so much better that I am able to take her on walks and go to public places knowing I can redirect her if needed. When time permits, we try to attend the group training on Sundays. Canela is

Our 4month old Golden Retriever, Sunny did the Raise and Train 4week program and we are so happy with the progress she made! Before dropping her off, we weren’t able to walk Sunny on a leash without her pulling or biting at the leash and now Sunny will “heal” and walk beside me and she will “place” until told otherwise. Her temperament overall is so much easier to manage. She was biting and not listening to us and it was so overwhelming. Since Sunny has been home she isn’t biting and she is listening to our commands sit, down, place and heel. It is important to know that training still continues once your pup is home and Steph will meet you at your home to go over what a day should look like for your dog! K9Conditioning was/is the best investment we’ve made so far for Sunny! I look for
