Calm K9 training completely changed our dog. Although he didn’t have the worst behavioral problems, his behavior made both him and us unhappy. Cookie is so much more confident, relaxed, well behaved, and all around happy thanks to Calm K9s and, specifically, Carl. Don’t be fooled. This isn’t magic. You need to do the work and you can’t just go back to how things were before. It is a bit of a lifestyle change. But it will bring you and your dog closer and give you a better understanding of dog behavior. It is worth every second and every penny. I would recommend Calm K9s to anyone. We love Carl!!!!!

My dog, Les showed extreme aggression towards people and animals before meeting David. He couldn’t be out if someone new was over, I couldn’t take him on walks, or anywhere really. I lived in fear of what les could do to others, and was constantly anxious. Les did the 3 week rehabilitation bootcamp with David and came back a totally different dog. He is now calm, and not a ball of anxiety. I can walk him with no issues, and even have people over. I no longer have to live in fear of Les showing aggression. I couldn’t be happier or more grateful!

Calm K9 was a great experience; I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for training. We went with the Boot Camp program which has made an amazing difference for our dog Dexter. Carl was a pleasure to work with and helped get Dexter's behavior where we wanted it to be. Dexter is a 4-year-old rescue; we originally looked at just getting the walk training but decided during our consultation to go with the Boot Camp option. He pulled a lot on walks, scavenged for food, and was also overly friendly when we had visitors (jumping, wouldn't leave them alone). Walks have become a lot more pleasant, he is well behaved in the house, and we can now have people over without Dexter being overly friendly. A large focus of the program is teaching the owners how to work with their dog which we found to be great. Carl showed us what to do and we practiced each step until the next session. If you are willing to put in the time with your dog, this program is for you. We found it to be better this way so that Dexter got used to us giving the commands as opposed to a trainer. Would definitely use them again in the future. Shout out to Carl, he was amazing and patient with us and Dexter.

Wasted thousands of dollars on training our puppy who had aggression issues. They told us we needed to do boarding even though we had the issue in the home with two dogs. They were not able to help us and didn’t give us any money back. Tried to get us to train our other dogs who were older. Didn’t work out. Next time they should listen to the customer on what’s going on and not just take money from them. We had to get rid of our dog. I will never forgive this company for wasting our time and money.
