From the very beginning, Justin at 203K9 has been incredibly responsive and patient—always answering the 50 million questions I throw his way with honesty and care. What I appreciate most is that he gives guidance based on what’s truly best for both the dog and the owner. Before working with Justin, my Belgian Malinois, Chapo, was very reactive to both people and other dogs. Walks were stressful, and he would constantly pull on the leash. But after completing the four-week board-and-train program at 203K9, Chapo is a completely different dog. He now walks calmly at heel, and the pulling is gone. Justin took the time to build a relationship with Chapo even before the training started. During our private sessions, he made the effort to really understand Chapo’s behavior and guided us on how to work with him at home. That gave me so much peace of mind when it was time to leave Chapo in his care. Throughout the process, Justin also taught us how to better understand and communicate with our dog. It wasn’t just about obedience—it was about building a bridge of communication and trust that truly changed our relationship with Chapo. During his training, Chapo learned to heel, sit, stay in a down position (even with distractions), recall, and bring the ball back on command—all consistently. Everything was taught using the leash and e-collar, and the results have been incredible. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about dogs and delivers real, lasting results, I highly recommend Justin and 203K9. The transformation in Chapo has been amazing, and I’ve learned just as much as he has.
