I am the owner of a shy/anxious/ reactive 4 year old border collie. I found April on Facebook in 2021, when I was looking to help my dog be more comfortable in social settings. I came to April's free workshop then signed up for the Beginner's Obedience class. She provided me the appropriate tools to help my dog become more confident and trust me as his pack leader. She has educated me about how my actions can affect my dog's reactions. During class she provided the opportunity for the dogs to socialize safely with the other dogs and owners and we worked on obedience. It has been well over a year since I have attended this course and I still use all the tools and techniques she gave me to help my dog. Before this class, if I wanted to introduce my dog to a person, it would've taken weeks, with a muzzle, for him to warm up to them. Now, it ranges from a few minutes to a couple hours, sometimes with a muzzle (situation-dependent). I have felt comfortable enough to travel with him and walk him in busy cities, and even introduce him to younger children (~9 years old). We still have a long way to go, but April has given us the push in the right direction. Thank you!

We have been going to April for over 10 years. We have always gotten good results. The first was just after we moved here. He was a big guy and over 130#. Best dog ever. She has now finished her first class...covid pup. No socialization. Loves to be in class and meet up with her buddies Going back for a repeat to reinforce lessons learned...

Search no longer! You have found the woman for the job! If you have a grumpy, aggressive, big and disobedient dog, Aprils k911 academy is for you! After failing out of other dog training classes with people who were afraid to take on a big and aggressive dogs like my German Shepherd I called April on a whim and she was able to get me into class at the very same day! She has incredible skill and understanding of these dogs and will give you the necessary tools to make your grumpy dog into a happy and obedient dog. I'm so satisfied with my experience I'm planning to take another course and also take advantage of her play care program.

I took my furbaby, Seamus, to the free workshop and the 7 week course. He is an anxious boy with a less than great past and we are trying to find ways to build his confidence.

I took my furbaby, Seamus, to the free workshop and the 7 week course. He is an anxious boy with a less than great past and we are trying to find ways to build his confidence. Well April certainly did that! I could barely get him into the building for the first class but by the last he was not only volunteering to be the example dog but he was so comfortable in class that he was rolling over wanting belly rubs! He still has a bit of work to do but we will definitely be going back to April's!

Words cannot express how horrendous the woman who owns the “boarding and training facility” acts and always manages to portray herself as the victim. It is pathetic. Thor is a victim who deserves justice. This woman needs jail time for her incompetence and pure neglect of animals in her care. Absolutely disgusted by this place. No one like her should be let near animals. It is hilarious reading her Facebook page I do recommend giving it a good read. Notice how she is always the victim? ☺️ Take your business somewhere else that will actually care about your dog. She is clearly guilty of neglected wound care management as well as lying about having a license. If she has a problem with my comment saying I’ve only seen one side of the story; I have personally seen Thor as well as trust what the POLICE report says. Not just the news outlets. I don’t care who she is I don’t need to know her. I know the actions she took. Quit being a victim and get off your high horse. Woman up you’re embarrassing everyone here. Also thank you for threatening people who leave bad reviews although this is exactly what they are for! Have an amazing day and I hope mentally you get better!
