I dropped my 1.5 year old male German Shepard off for a two week basic board and train. Carl was his designated trainer, and I couldn’t ask for better communication and results from him. The daily communication including videos and pictures was not only helpful in understanding the training, but gave piece of mind that Ruger was ok. Carl answered all my questions and did a great job showing me how to continue the training at home upon pickup. The difference after just two weeks in Ruger’s obedience was night and day, and I now I feel fully confident in continuing the training and continue to improve his skills and obedience. 10/10 experience!

Business response

We’re thrilled to hear about the incredible progress Ruger made during his board and train experience. Thank you for highlighting the ongoing updates and support from our team member, as well as your confidence in continuing the training at home. Knowing that you left feeling empowered and that Ruger’s obedience took such a leap in just two weeks means a lot to everyone at AmericanK9, LLC. We truly appreciate your trust in us and hope you both enjoy the new skills moving forward!

We were very happy with American K9 and their friendly staff. Carl was a fantastic trainer and worked wonders with our high-energy puppy, Javi. He also empowered us with the skills to continue the training at home!

We are glad our team could help channel your puppy's energy in the right direction, and that you felt supported learning new training techniques to use at home. Thank you for trusting AmericanK9, LLC with Javi's development. If you ever have questions or need additional guidance, please know we are always here to help.

Nellie was the one who trained my young senior dog. My girl is so much more calmer at the vet and other places and can place and heel like the best of them. She's not the same reactive dog that she was pre dropoff. I would definitely recommend AmericanK9 to others and to ask for Nellie. I would even do more in the with my current dog again at another time for her and me to learn even more and then I think any next dogs I get I will bring from the beginning as puppies.

Business response

We’re so glad to hear about the transformation in your girl’s behavior and that she’s feeling calmer and more confident in different environments. It means a lot to know our team made a difference for both of you. Thank you for sharing your experience and recommending AmericanK9 to others. We’d be happy to welcome you back in the future, whether it’s for more training with your current pup or with any new dogs you add to your family.

We did two different two-week boarding sessions here with our young lab - half when she was still around 4 months old, half around 7 months old. After her last set of training, I really can't give enough praise to the team at American K9, especially our trainer Nellie. She sent us daily pictures, videos, and notes, and has been very responsive between and after training when we have questions. Now just barely over 7 months old, our lab is perfectly house trained, kennel/crate trained, is wonderful off-leash as well as for leash walks. I highly recommend American K9 if you're serious about quality training!

Business response

Thank you for sharing such a detailed account of your experience. We’re thrilled to know your lab is thriving with her training, both at home and out on walks. It means a lot that you felt supported by our team, with regular updates and ongoing guidance after each session. We appreciate your recommendation and are grateful you chose AmericanK9, LLC to help with your puppy’s early development.
