Kinship K9

David did an absolutely incredible job training our GSP! We tried crate training her ourselves and let’s just say my husband’s heart was in the right place but it didn’t go well. So David had to not only train our GSP puppy but fix the mistakes that had been made by my husband. Not only did David “fix” our puppy but had her trained beautifully in 3 short weeks. She’s doing a great job and I work with her every day. My husband walks her and she follows so many commands now; but what I really am impressed with is the compassion, consistency, and professionalism David brought to our puppy and with us. He checks in every week to see how we are doing and wants to come back to do follow up training with our puppy and us!! Cannot recommend a better trainer than David.

I actually went to meet a rescue dog Sherri was training. Her property is beautiful, and she has very extensive knowledge of dog training. I have never done competitive dog training sports, but I have spent some time around one and Sherri is accomplished in it. She also understands that most families are looking for certain basic behaviors like, come, sit, and don't pull the leash. Those are the ones she had taught the rescue dog she showed me.

Sherrie is my dog’s home when I am away from home. Kinship K9 is about an hour away from me and there are many boarding facilities that are closer. But Sherrie knows working dogs and I know my dogs will be well taken care of. Sherrie also put the foundation for the BH, an obedience title, on my dog. And finally, she is the source of Inukshuk for my dogs. I highly recommend Sherrie as she knows dogs (and people) and how to train them (dogs and their owners).

I had my 10 month-old puppy complete a month long board & train program with Sherrie. He came home with many new skills and we could not be more pleased with our decision to use Kinship K9. The training method included lots of affection and rewards but Sherrie was also firm in her training. It was clear that she had genuine concern regarding the success, well-being & outcome for our dog. We appreciated the follow up lessons after his stay that were included in the price. I was afraid he might come home with problematic barking from being around the dogs that she boards, but that did not happen. If you need training for your furbaby or boarding, I can highly recommend Kinship K9.

The best place for your dogs to be when you are out of town or need some boarding and training. Highly recommend Kinship and the family atmosphere they provide.
