What people have asked about this business.
Hello! I have a question about training. Can you tell me about your positive training methods?
Hi Hannah, thank you for your question. If you are asking what forms of positive reinforcements we use during training they are praise, affection, and sometimes food when necessary.

Ashley was fantastic with my spoiled rotten, high-energy lab mix; their program helped us introduce some much-needed structure into his day and while keeping things fun and positive for both my pup and me. I came out of the basic bootcamp program feeling confident that I have the tools to continue training my pup on my own. To me the best part of their approach was that they weren't training my dog for me, they were basically training me how to train my dog, so that the benefits will continue way past the month of training we did together.

We are very happy with our decision to use Calm K9 for training! We have a 3y/o maltipoo that was all over the place on walks, trying to fight with big dogs, bolting out the door and making us chase her, and jumping all over guests when they would come in. We did boot camp training with Ashley and she is a totally different dog! We actually enjoy walks with her and have confidence opening the door to greet our guests. She is a happy more confident dog and the tools have really helped us! It is dog AND owner boot camp :) Thanks Ashley!

David was AMAZING. I have a 2 year old bulldog/boxer mix who did NOT listen to me at all. Everything I did with him was a stressor for the both of us. I couldn’t take him anywhere because he was horrible on the leash and would not listen. Now I have a calmer dog who listens to me and actually enjoys walking on a leash because it’s relaxing. I highly recommend Calm K9 training. It is 100% worth it. I can now actually enjoy time with my dog!

My roommate and I have 2 rescue dogs, and calm K9 totally helped making our house a calmer place. Ashley was a fantastic trainer for us, and I really liked her style of teaching. Everything felt very clearly explained, and in case we forgot anything we had email recaps to reference that she would send for each session. The basic bootcamp program that we went through built on itself really well, and our dogs seem to be thriving in the structure. AND the fact that they guarentee the training for life is icing on the cake. I would 100% recommend Calm k9 to anyone and everyone with a dog.

After our time training with Sarah, we are enjoying a much deeper connection to our former problem child pup, Anchovy. It's hard work, harder if you are not committed, but if you put in the work- the rewards are real! Sarah was both compassionate and firm with Anchovy and it is clear she truly care for all animals, not just the animals she works with. She is knowledgable and patient, ready to answer any questions/concerns in depth.We were at first timid about the prong collar and concerned about using the e collar and she helped us feel comfortable learning to use these tools that are crucial for some dogs to be able to be all they can be. The proof is in the pup! Our once growly, biter (who refused to even sit!) is now way more confident and trusts us, the difference is huge. There is still a lot of work yet to do, but now we have the skills to have a more meaningful, less frustrating relationship with our dog. Thanks Sarah and Calm K9! Highly recommend!
