Attended a PSA workshop with Austin last year in Canada. Not only was he a wealth of knowledge, but he also was super kind and very easy to talk to. He listened to my concerns about my dogs, and genuinely wanted to know about their previous training, what was and wasn’t working, and why I felt it wasn’t working for them. He made me feel very included in the process and all three of my dogs had really amazing sessions and a ton of progress was made.
Cannot recommend him enough!

Austin & Haley are amazing trainers and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for pet dog training as well as protection training! Austin has worked my pup numerous times in protection and the sets are always safe, productive, and I have a good idea of what I need to work on next. Anyone able to work with A Very Good K9 is in good hands!

We boarded our German Shepherd for 4 weeks with training and E-Stim collar training, The staff consistently kept us updated on training and progress, complete with pictures and videos. They also gave us briefings on what they were working on and what we should be expecting once we got her back. They brought her back and conducted a very detailed 3 hour training for us with her. They also were responded very quickly to follow on questions that we had once we were back in a normal routine. The refresher training was also extremely helpful to help us and the our dog to polish our skills and touch up on her obedience.
Before we took sent her to training she struggled on leash, struggled with public settings and with mouthing. We can now walk her off leash in public and not worry about any incidents. QWe are also able to take her to local restaurants and breweries and she is extremely well behaved. The training has completely changed our home life and we have a much happier pup!
We highly recommend this program and have the highest praise for the training and trainers!

We can’t say enough good things about A Very Good K9. Our dog, Tilly, did the 1 month board and train with Austin and Haley and the change in her is truly remarkable. Best decision we ever made!

The best foundational training experience, setting you and your dog up for life long success in any situation.
From the jump, they accomodate your schedule for pick-up and drop-off. Throughout the entire month, they communicate and send numerous updates to show progress (including pictures)
In the end, they teach you how to apply and build on the training they’ve built up over the few weeks with your dog. They tell you WHY it works and what to emphasize, resulting in a dog with a sense of direction. Our dog was clearly a part of their pack during the time away, and despite his goofy personality, they gave us the tools to be successful in any setting.
