We cannot recommend BossK9 enough! They have been the best thing that's ever happened to our two dogs. They gave our dogs and us the system, structure, and communication plan we all needed to help us all live our fullest lives, together. Our timid dog was well behaved enough that we hesitated to get training for her at first. We're so glad we sent her to a board and train because she gets to fully be herself now and enjoys so many adventures without fear. Our anxious and reactive dog is what first brought us to BossK9. People told us he was a lost cause but we knew we just hadn't found the right trainer yet. He was always on edge, to the point where we couldn't have people over and he was never truly playful because he was always on guard. After his training with Boss, he's a new dog. He's playful, goofy, and receptive to love and relaxation. I truly believe he wouldn't be here, brining joy to so many people and loving his life, if it wasn't for Anna and her team. I could go on and on about BossK9 and everyone there. They changed our lives and that's not an exaggeration. If you're even thinking about giving them a call, do it. You won't regret it.

We sent our Collie for the three week training experience and continue to send Rin there for boarding. Anna and her staff are the best. Rin came back after training really well trained and still to this day remembers his commands and good behaviors. I can’t say enough about Boss K9 and the staff and how completely I trust them when I leave him there.

After doing research years ago I knew when the time came and I got a puppy I would be calling boss K9 . I’ve been following this company on IG since before the doors opened and have loved seeing HUNDREDS of dogs lives being changed due to Anna and her team . The dedication to changing dogs for the better and their owners life’s is why we chose boss k9 . Fast forward Now that I got my dream dog a Great Dane puppy … I called boss k9 and immediately signed up for off leash classes . I met with Anna at boss k9 and her Zuma n me immediately clicked ! We met in house every other week and I learned what was needed to move forward for the next week of training . I have two kids but stayed consistent on doing / two 15 min training sessions a day/ and working on bed stays for all meals (now up to two Hours my dog will stay in a spot that is instructed ) . I am dedicated to having an amazing dog we can take all over America on our adventures and put the work in to make her so . At 7 months old we are now taking her to brewery’s / tball games / patio restaurants / farmers markets / hikes by myself with two kids and so on . I’m so happy to see how this training progresses as Zuma gets older . So Thankful for Anna she’s stuck with us for life !

Anna’s team is worth every penny invested into your pups future. My skiddish female field golden retriever was in puppy school at boss from month 4-6 and then participated in 4 weeks of their new daytime training program at 14 months old. She’s learned SO much and we have the tools we needed to be adventurous and brave in a safe way! I’ve seen them transform high anxiety dogs into confident and well behaved members of the family. Thank you for all you do to support extreme behavior cases, saving K9 lives and keeping dogs out of shelters. 💛

I cannot fathom what we would have done without the care and support provided by Boss K9! Last year, we inherited my 93-year-old Grandma’s dog, Rex, whom she had gotten during the pandemic. Rex was a puppy at the time, with no real records or breed information, and unfortunately, he had never received any formal training. As he grew, he became too much for her to handle on her own, but we had no idea just how deep his behavioral challenges ran. It wasn’t until a trip to the groomer that we realized the severity of the issue. Rex displayed alarming aggression, even backing one of the groomers into a corner and attempting to bit them! We were absolutely shocked and at a complete loss of what to do next. That’s when we turned to Boss K9, and we are forever grateful that we did. From the moment we walked through their doors, the team at Boss K9 welcomed Rex with open arms. They took the time to understand him, working through his aggression and triggers at his own pace rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. Their expertise, patience, and dedication have made an incredible difference—not just in Rex’s behavior, but in our confidence as owners. The homework is not always easy, but consistency and perseverance are required for success! Thanks to Boss K9, Rex has transformed into a well-mannered and much more manageable companion. Their training has not only improved his quality of life but has also brought us immeasurable peace of mind. If you’re struggling with a dog that has behavioral issues, I wholeheartedly recommend Boss K9. Their knowledge, compassion, and training methods have been truly life-changing for us!
