New England K9 Athlete

New England K9 has been super helpful to us with improving our training skills with our 2 year old dog. Our dog had her basic commands down, but we needed help with her settling (especially outside of the house), grooming and minimizing demand barking. Our trainer, Kate, is knowledgeable, patient and supportive. Our girl has made great progress. The facilities are excellent, very clean and well kept. I highly recommend for training.

April and her team are amazing! After completing a red light laser therapy appointment and chatting with April we decided to book a pool lesson and give it a go to see if my girl liked it and we had such an amazing time! Everything was so positive and they made us all feel comfortable throughout both our laser therapy and pool lesson. They are extremely knowledgeable and know how to work with the dog to achieve success without adding too much pressure or stress on the dog, leading to success and a happy dog and owner! For our pool lesson they were able to problem solve on the fly trying a couple different things to help up succeed and get my girl in the pool swimming while also knowing exactly when to call it a day to ensure we ended on a positive and successful note

THE BEST!! New England K9 Athlete has the nicest staff and they are extremely knowledgeable in all of the services they have to offer! Their group classes are amazing, and their dock diving pool is a gem during the summer! My dog is one of a kind, and sometimes a bit of a menace, but I have always felt very welcome here. Can’t recommend them enough! 5 Stars!!

I traveled an hour each way to take fitness classes with April here. She was knowledgeable and made suitable adjustments for all the dogs in class, both for their physical and mental well-being--my dog absolutely loved her as did all the dogs in class, most of whom were continuing students there. The fitness classes were targeted for agility but were super-helpful for other sports or for general fitness; the dog I had in class competes in obedience, rally and nosework but my non-competition dogs at home enjoy taking turns at the exercises when I practice. April provided thorough follow-ups for all of the exercises we covered so I have a reference to look back on, which is incredibly useful and important. I'm looking forward to going back to New England K9 Athlete for other things!

Sorry this is rinky dink! It seems that those who pay for classes get the ribbons. The dock is too short. Our dog jumped 15 feet on his first ever jump, as recorded on our photo. You said 13 when his butt hadn’t even touched the water! Then he jumped well over the 15’ you said he jumped!! More like 20 from our video. I guess it’s fine for those who want to see if their dog will do it, but that’s it! Stick with Dock Dogs if you want an honest competition. They don’t give ribbons for flopping in the water.
