Complete K9 Services

I rescued Paxton shortly before I injured my knee and needed help caring for him. I reached out to CKS, they got back to me instantly and Paxton was in their board-and-train program within 2 days. They were incredibly responsive, flexible, and accommodating with my injury and situation, which I’ll always appreciate. Faith and Sal took a hands-on, personalized approach that made a huge difference. Faith’s positive-reinforcement, trauma-informed approach and experience with rescue dogs really helped her understand Paxton and what he needed. She always met him where he was at, and positively adjusted. He learned better manners, commands, and confidence, and genuinely feels like a different dog. She was the key part to making that happen. Both Faith and Sal worked with both of us in real-life situations, including at home and around other dogs, so we could continue building on his progress. Their support didn’t end when training was over. They continued answering questions, providing resources, and helping us adjust. I’m incredibly grateful for everything CKS Faith, and Sal did for both Paxton and me. They went above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend them more!

I can’t recommend Sal & his team at Complete K9 Services enough! They have made such a positive difference with my German Shepherd, especially when it comes to reactivity and behavior in public. My dog is calmer, listens to commands, and I feel so much more confident handling him in different situations. I also really appreciate that the owner is a German Shepherd owner himself. Knowing that he understands the breed and its unique traits gives me an extra level of trust and confidence. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in his care, including boarding him while we’re away. It’s a huge relief knowing my dog is with someone I trust and who genuinely understands dogs. The training has made a noticeable difference in both my dog’s behavior and my confidence as an owner. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy dog training and boarding!

I am a repeat customer because what Liz and Sal offer to their customers changes lives! We are a multi dog home and have one anxious dog who struggles with impulse control when triggered. Liz and Sal gave us and our dogs the skills needed to enable peaceful coexistence among our pack. They treat each dog with patience and the approach they take is specific to that dog's needs. They worked with us in our home to ensure the skills our dogs learned while at their training facility were transferred when they arrived back home. I cant say enough about what their support has meant to us and our dogs!

Thanks to Sal, Liz, and their team, we were able to have our dog become well-trained and well-mannered. We get compliments all the time about how well behaved our boy is. Before training, we were extremely worried about him. He loved chasing our cat to the point where it even made the cat throw up from stress, and he would also chase our free-roam bunny whenever he had the chance. We struggled with severe leash pulling, and he constantly jumped on me, which was especially concerning because my partner and I are hoping to welcome a baby into the world in the future. He had endless energy, no self-control, and was incredibly stubborn. When we started, he only knew his name. He refused to stop having accidents in the house, didn’t understand what “no” meant, and couldn’t stay in place for more than a few seconds. We had already spent $500 on dog training classes elsewhere with very little success, so we were hesitant to invest in training again. After doing extensive research, we found Sal and Liz. I spoke with them about our concerns, and they immediately reassured me that they could help. It felt like a gamble at first, but after seeing how knowledgeable and dedicated they were, I was sold. We drove over an hour each way to drop off and pick up our dog, and every week we saw improvement. There were times when it was difficult for us to arrive on schedule, but Sal and Liz always worked around our availability. They adjusted their schedules to accommodate us and even spent extra time training our dog when they didn’t have to. They consistently went above and beyond, offering far more support and dedication than we ever expected. By the end of the training program, I finally had hope that our dog could become the dog we always wanted him to be. We decided to put everything to the test over the next two months, and I’m happy to say that nothing has changed—he still has the same manners, obedience, and self-control he had the day he left their program. We are incredibly grateful to Sal, Liz, and their team for everything they’ve done for our family. Their training truly changed our lives, and we will absolutely be returning for more training in the future. Highly recommend! And worth the drive I promise. Thank you so much team 🙏🏽 coming from: Yordy, Jasmin and Bullet 🐾
