My dog's name is pup pup. This is a list of what puppup knows to be gospel... - Down and hold - Sit and hold - loose leash walks - Off leash walks - due to recalls - Recalls - 'here' and 'target'. I can be a football field away from my dog, verbally present the recall command and he will be at my side in however long it takes him to sprint the distance between us. This includes a time when another dog and it's owner were engaging with him in a chaotic manner. I saw what was happening, yelled out the command ... and mid showdown he turned and came directly to me. - Crate trained - Food trained (no jumping for scraps or coming to get food without the 'yes' as a thumbs up to do so). ZERO of those things would have been part of puppups world without Missy having boarded and trained him prior to me picking him up. He was a rescue and Missy set him up to be happy and enjoy his life because the structure is what gives our animals the most rewarding experience they can have. Not to mention it helps with providing safety for them and everyone around ... If somehow off leash and near a road (cars) or any other type of possible trouble (other off leash dogs that are untrained and possibly aggressive etc) the recalls and the trust built through training can prevent accidents. Missy is tough but in a good way. She wants the parents to know what they are doing and what they need to continue doing in order to maintain the structure moving forward. I have no problem recommending her as a trainer. If you're thinking of boarding or day training etc ... She's the girl.

I was eager and determined to write a review about Missy, owner of Active K9, and pleased that many other stellar reviews praise her without exaggeration. She truly is a rock star in her field. She worked for 2 months with our 5 Y.O. rescue who is dog aggressive and we've seen more progress than we expected. Missy is a gifted communicator with dogs (and owners,) who taught us how to be good dog parents, and it made a remarkable difference in our dog's behavior. Missy was prompt, attentive, enthusiastic and intuitive and delivered exactly what our dog needed at each session. She made herself available for all the time we requested and always considered our input during individual sessions, If I have have one complaint, it's that our dog likes Missy way too much! I will sing her praises to all and everyone who needs help with a furry friend.

We found Missy through a friend who also had a fantastic experience with the program. I thought I knew enough to get by with training a dog and have been successful with training dogs in the past, but after adopting an energetic Dalmatian with a very strong prey drive I was feeling super overwhelmed and defeated. After a 3 week board and train program, our pup was not only 10000% more well behaved but we were also given the tools to continue the process at home. Thank you Active K9 Training Solutions!!!

I’ve known and worked with Missy at Active K9 for over 15 years. There is no one I trust more with my animals than her. She is knowledgeable, patient, firm, and she has a way with animals that is indescribable. If your dog needs basic training, she’s your go to. If your dog is having a behavioral issue that needs addressing, she is your best resource. In my opinion it takes a special type of person to really connect with animals on such a deep level and Missy possesses this skill. There is no praise high enough for what she does with animals and pet owners alike.
