Citizen K9 Dog Training And Agility

We have a 2 year old Aussie who was the wild one of the litter. My best friend has our dog's brother and he is super chill. Our dog is bananas. I tried doing training on my own with books, but this dog is way out of my scope. She struggles mostly with OCD on reflections and moving objects and barrier aggression. We have friends who have had success with Citizen K9 and we took our dog for the 4 week inboard. Our dog did not come back to us a perfect 100% obedient dog....No more than if you sent a child somewhere for a month and expect them to be perfect forever. Our dog is still who she is (bananas), but she came out of inboard lightyears ahead of where she started, and Brandy/Brianna have both been very validating and encouraging and adamant about how important continued work and training are. 8 group classes (where we are in class with our dog) are included in the 4 week inboard training. And these 8 classes very obviously are mostly for us, the humans, to learn this art of dog training. In the class I feel kind of silly and awkward sometimes but I'm learning so much both knowledge and confidence working with my animal. When Brandy demonstrates a task she'd like us to do, she has sometimes used my dog as an example and our dog is perfect for her, LOL. It's very humbling because when I get the leash back, my dog and I are a bit of a clown show LOL. But only having taken the 2nd class I feel so good about my progress with my dog, and am excited to complete the 8 classes... and probably continue with more as they're offered because I need all the help I can get. Also, just to show what kind of people Brandy & team are, they sent me a sympathy card when my older dog (that was never trained there) passed away last week. This very much is a family atmosphere full of people who are passionate about dogs AND their owners. I'm thankful to be a part of it.

Booked a $80 meeting to discuss with a trainer what would be appropriate for my dog in terms of boarding. Wasn't told that this was non-refundable, tried to get a refund since it no longer worked in my schedule. Ridiculous to charge when I tried to cancel over a week in advance. Again, I was not told that this was a non-refundable deposit which was the reason for my review. As a professional, I do not charge for cancellations, especially 8 days before the event where there is plenty of time to speak to someone. This was a consultation for a several thousand dollar training which you all tried to get me to sign up for without even speaking to a trainer about what was appropriate. I was told to make a consultation, that it would cost $80. Not that it was not refundable. I stand by my review.

When we rescued our puppy at 5 months old, we knew we wanted to start training early to set her up for success. We signed her up for 8 day training sessions with Citizen k9 and could not have been happier with the results! We loved the one on one attention our dog received and you could tell how much her confidence has grown since becoming a student with Citizen K9. We also had some lessons and learned from Brandy and her team how to best communicate with and positively reinforce what our dog learned in classes. She is always so excited to go when we pull up to the gate whether it's for class or boarding. We will continue to board and book refresher training course in the years to come! Thank you Citizen K9!!
