Customer Reviews
We brought our two giant schnauzers to K9 Instincts to strengthen their foundations, build confidence, and address some issues. The progress they made was remarkable. One of our dogs had resource guarding issues, and the trainers equipped us with the skills to address this safely. Our dogs are now more confident because they know what’s expected, and we feel more confident as owners. The trainers were honest and direct (never sugarcoating) while giving us clear guidance on where we could improve. As a dog owner, especially of powerful breeds, half the battle is recognizing and accepting your own mistakes. Even when you think you’re doing OK, the expertise of professional support can show you how much better things can be. Huge thanks to the K9 Instincts crew for their ongoing support.
We had such a positive experience working with K9 instincts for our rescue puppy Bowen. He was unsure of himself/expectations and exhibited many “typical puppy” behaviors that we didn’t want to become habits. Through training he gained so much confidence, obedience, structure and a balanced temperament. Aside from their expertise, the team at K9 instincts is truly dedicated to long-term success for both the dog and owner(s). Their support doesn’t end after training. Reinforcing everything he learned will be a lifelong commitment and the team has made themselves accessible for continued help/advice! I highly recommend K9 instincts to anyone looking for an exceptionally skilled and supportive trainer for their dog. You won’t regret it!!
The trainers are professional caring people and they did an excellent job with our pups Cash and Morgan. We had our previous dogs we owned trained over 13 years ago and this organization has not missed a beat. They are excellent people and we highly recommend them. If you love your dog and want them to learn proper behavior and Safety skills send them to Brittany Emilie and Matt they will teach the skills and make you pup a wonderful companion.
Our girl is incredible off leash now with damn near perfect recall. It was worth every penny. We really needed her to be able to hold a down stay for long period of time due to the anther of my job and she’s far exceeding our expectations. I can’t recommend k9 instincts enough!
I had my dog trained here for 4 weeks. Best decision I made. My dog is now great on the leash, off the leash at the park and has amazing recall. Before training another dog or squirrel would set off the tugging on the leash or a mad dash to chase with no recall. No longer. I can take my dog anywhere and have complete control. My fellow dog friends are all envious now that they see the results. My dog has more confidence and is definitely calmer in situations that previously caused unwanted barking or excitement.
