Hello! I have a question about training. Can you tell me about your positive training methods?

We had CalmK9 training come out to meet our 6 month old GSP, Bella, and proceeded to setup the training sessions. Ashley was our trainer and was very good about showing us how each training session would work, and then demonstrated the techniques with both my wife and myself. Ashley was always there if we had a question on a technique or needed clarification on something and while there is a lot of homework and time involved during the week in between sessions, it is well worth it and the results do speak for themselves. This is far different training than the local pet club training sessions (which we tried), and we couldn't be more pleased. Highly recommended!

This training was the best investment of time and money that I have ever made. By the time David came over for the consultation, my fiancee and I were at the end of our rope. It had been three months since we brought our husky mix home to be a playmate with our Boston terrier, and it had resulted in full blown anarchy. Pulling on leash, running away from us at dog parks, chewing valuables. You name it. Within the first 20 minutes, David had both dogs laying down while he rang the doorbell and banged on the door. My fiancee and I laughed in complete embarrassment. David helped us realize that we created this situation, but we could change it.
The efficacy of the training was clear from the first session. We bought in and now we enjoy our dogs again. I'm so excited to be able to take our boys to Texas Beach off-leash this summer and not worry about them. Thank you, David!

We just finished the Basic Bootcamp with Ashley. Our dog was very hyperactive and would always chase our cat and had some on-leash aggression issues. Ashley was a very good instructor and gave us clear directions during each step of the training process. It was extremely helpful to having the one on one time with the trainer and that everything was taught in a way that was specific to our dog. The Bootcamp was originally scheduled for 4 sessions, but we ended up needed an extra session and it was no extra charge. We still are surprised at how well our dog behaves now; she's a completely different dog from when we started. She still isn't 100% perfect and has her moments, but we have the tools we need to keep progressing with her training.

I highly recommend Sarah at Calm K9 Training. I had recently adopted an Australian Shepherd who was good with me but aggressive towards dogs and other people. It was a struggle to take him out on a walk without him losing his mind barking and lunging at people and other dogs. It was stressful having people over due to Ollie barking aggressively as soon as they entered the apartment.
We are so happy with how the training went with Sarah at Calm K9 Training. Each session I learned new skills and were finally given the tools to communicate effectively with Ollie. Sarah was very patient with all my questions and the skills she taught us are invaluable. I cannot believe how much Ollie has improved! I can have people over without Ollie trying to scare them away. I'm mindful of situations where he can get anxious but I can walk him confidently knowing that he is focused on me and not everything around us.

We found CalmK9 after coming to the conclusion that our boxer mix, Dolly, a very friendly girl, was too wild, too prone to hopping the fence, and desperately needed a job and some discipline.
We met Ashley for a ten minute evaluation, during which she had Dolly in a down stay literally seconds after waking in the door. Impressive!
We just completed the four session Boot Camp, and could not be happier with the results! We have work to do, but Dolly hasn’t hopped the fence since we started, stats in place when visitors arrive, even when every instinct is telling her to jump all over our guests.
Very impressed! Having trouble with your dog? At the end of your rope, as we were? Call CalmK9!
