FirstBarkA Leg Up K9 did a great job training our youngest dog. After the initial 3 weeks of training, he came back to us very well behaved and well trained. The follow-up training time was very helpful and taught my wife and I a great deal as well. Jake was great and very professional in everything during the training and since with following up and answering further questions. Highly recommend!

We adopted our dog Sky at age 10 weeks. She was a rescue and had no training. Due to her willful and ‘dramatic’ personality, we determined she needed more in-depth training for behavior modification than a regular dog training course would provide. We chose the 3 week off-leash course with Jake at A Leg Up K9 for several reasons: his K9 law enforcement background, his previous customer reviews, his pricing for the course, and his overall demeanor and interaction when first meeting Sky. Leaving Sky with him for 3 weeks was a huge concession on our part as we are very protective of our dogs. However, Jake gave us an update once a week and when we went to pick up Sky we were thrilled with her overall persona change. She was healthy and obedient, although still a drama queen upon occasion. We would highly recommend Jake for training your dog. There are those who feel e-collar training is a negative way to train a dog, but it is actually a great way for a challenging dog to become obedient and respectful. We are continuing follow up lessons with Sky and Jake, and we are very happy with the training Sky received!
We had 3 of our dogs trained here with great results. The training was able to take place around my hectic schedule I would gladly recommend them to anyone.

I was astounded by the changes in my dog after training with Jake at A Leg Up K9. She is honestly the most well behaved dog I've ever seen...and that is not an exaggeration. Her responsiveness to my commands makes life SO much easier and enjoyable. I was also really impressed with A Leg Up K9's website! Very user friendly and such a cool design. It's super convenient to be able to connect with the trainer right through the website.

Board & Training with Jake was one of the best investments I could have made for my German Shepherd. Before training, we barely had control over Maizey. She would pull us while walking, was aggressive towards people, have accidents inside, and would destroy our furniture. After the 3+ week training and follow up lessons, she is a completely different doggo! She listens to us, understands our expectations, and our relationship is enjoyable. It was hard to send her off for a few weeks and it took work after Jake trained her, but it is worth it. A few weeks of sacrifice for a lifetime of a well behaved dog.
