Blackheart K9 Services

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about everybody at Blackheart K9. They went above and beyond for my pup and kept me informed of her progress throughout the whole time she was away. They made sure I was comfortable with everything before they left after her drop off back to me. They were thorough and went the extra mile for my girl with constantly challenging her to get the most of her training. I cannot recommend them enough to help train your puppy or dog in any needs. They are also super knowledgeable about dogs and willing to share their knowledge to help other dog owners be their best. Great experience!

To understand why 5 stars for Blackheart K9 is an absolute no brainier, best investment for your dog, you must first understand Lexi our 4 year old German Shepherd. We rescued Lexi when she was 6 months old & since the day we picked her up she has always struggled with anxiety and social issues. We put her in obedience training early on(not with black heartk9) which helped temporarily however we had to constantly tell people she was not a dog you pet. Since our home is on lots of land and we rarely encounter people , things seemed fine. All this time , un addressed anxiety led to worse and worse behavior including being unable to get our dog in the car, being kicked out of multiple vet offices bc our dog was too difficult to handle, increasing growling/nipping around others and even viscously attacking our other animals. My husband and I were nervous to keep her around with our little baby and were advised to have her put to sleep by several (non professional) people. We started to feel there was no other option. Enter Blackheart K9, Scott & Ally! From conversation #1 you could tell these people were compassionate about dogs, were knowledgeable and upfront/honest about what they could and could not do. Lexi was picked up at our home. Scott was patient from the start to try and let Lexi get comfortable so not to overly traumatize her. We got regular updates on her training throughout the process by both Scott and Ally. We were fully educated on each step in her training process, she got a lovely bath , nail trim and coat treatment before return and our dog got lots of love. Scott was able to get to the root of lexis anxiety and said she is not an aggressive dog but a misunderstood dog.(what we felt all along). Scott through irreplaceable knowledge and expertise helped Lexi gain confidence and tighten up obedience skills. We have seen firsthand our German Shepard go from ball of nerves and borderline aggression to confident/happy dog that we can take to the store and she is not traumatized by people around her and her tail is wagging. She loads in the car without any fuss and happily settles in for a ride. To Scott , we are so thankful for your service and compassion. Thank you for giving us hope and bringing our our happy and confident dog that is now at peace in our home. To anyone thinking you may be out of options or maybe should hold off, you will not regret doing this training and your dog will have greater quality of life because of it. Don't wait!

I recently rescued a probably just shy of 2 year old golden retriever. After my neighbor had such good results with her 2 dogs using Vanessa at Blackheart K9 Services I sent Nellie for some training with Vanessa. WOW! I am truly amazed at how well she listens to her commands. The healing on walks is great——no more tugging on the leash. Vanessa kept in contact with me while she was gone with videos that I could not believe were Nellie. We met at Home Depot for OUR training at the end for a couple of hours for my husband and me to learn all the commands and practice. This was the best service and money well spent!!!! I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone that needs some training with their dogs.
