We had a great time working with Carl! Not only did our dog see great improvements over the course of the training, we now feel like we have the knowledge and tools to continue working on her problem areas too,

Dalia and Henree are awesome! We were working primarily with Dalia, she has a great connection to dogs and really understands their personality type. Our dog is very hyper aware of his surroundings with high anxiety and Dalia I was able to teach us how to get his mind in the right state, work to keep his attention on us and not be so concerned with his surrounding environment. Dalia was great with communication, answering our text when we had questions outside of our sessions and very flexible working with us since we have a very tight work schedule. The training program definitely requires consistency and being very steadfast in the rules of what needs to be accomplished but it definitely shows its results. I would highly recommend Henree and Dalia to anybody especially those who have dogs that can be more challenging than the average

What a great company! Very communicative, very accommodating to crazy schedules, and very very good information. We have 2 intelligent and excitable German Shepherds(2 year old male and 9 month old female) that had received positive reinforcement training which was effective but in some cases not if we didn't actually have a treat handy for them particularly when it came to recall. Walks were mildly enjoyable but often frustrating cause I got tired of being pulled around. After the 4 week basic boot camp our dogs are a pleasure to walk and have vastly improved in all areas of training from response time to recall to distinguishing commands meant for 1 dog not the other. It takes work and they're not fully trained yet but watching them understand what is being asked of them and then being equipped to reinforce good behavior and correct bad behavior has made such a difference in our lives in a relatively short amount of time. I can see that they are happier and more confident dogs already, which is saying something for our rather anxious male, and I know that will only continue as we work to improve on the foundation Calm K9 helped us set. Carl was our trainer and we couldn't have asked for more from him. He gave simple and easy to understand instructions, he is patient, very knowledgeable, and well prepared to handle the training of two dogs simultaneously. I can't recommend this company enough.

We loved our trainer and have seen such drastic improvements with our pup. They are so response and did a great job of making sure we always felt comfortable asking questions. We had a very reactive dog and after just 4 sessions we have seen a huge change. We cannot recommend them enough! Our trainer Brandi did everything she could to make our dog feel comfortable and at ease. We learned just as much as our dog did and can’t wait to see how she continues to grow! They make it clear we can always come back if we have questions or any issues down the road.

We have a 1.5 year old expensive Mutt (aussiedoodle) who was rather rude, and I'd finish all of our walks with a forearm full of bruises and a bad attitude. He was super mouthy, had insane energy that he couldn't control when he was overstimulated, and no amount of fetch or exercise could wear him out. We signed Eddie up for the 4 week bootcamp and couldn't be happier. It was intense, and a lot of work, but so valuable. The training builds week by week so you have to be disciplined with it! I still feel like we got our moneys worth just after the first week. After the first few days even, Eddie's walks were easy and relaxed. I haven't been bitten since! Dalia and Henree were super nice, enthusiastic teachers, extremely knowledgeable and helped us with every question we had for them. You can truly tell they have a passion for what they do! The training went very smoothly and the thoroughly explained the reason behind every bit of intensity of the program and slowly introduced different techniques behind training with the prong and e-collar. I was initally very apprehensive about using an e-collar because i was afraid it would be cruel, but Eddie has never once acted as though he was in pain, just reacting to a stimuli. He shows no fear of the e-collar or remote and wags his tail when it goes on. Even having the collar on with no use, he knows its time to behave. I will say we had to be pretty flexible with times and scheduling, as our appointments were changed or pushed a few times, but I understand that they are training a ton of dogs at once and life happens sometimes. We are still extremely happy! I have already recommended Dalia and Henree to multiple friends, and the training we learned will be applicable to any dog we have in the future. It is WELL worth the money!
