Our one year old mini aussie spent three weeks with Lauren and came back a different dog. He pulled constantly on walks, jumped and didn't know how to contain his energy meeting new people and dogs. Lauren did a great job with videos during the stay and the entire family followed in IG so we knew how to work with him when he returned home. He was a completely different dog after three weeks! We can take him on walks now without him pulling our arms off, he rarely jumps and if he does a quick correction reminds him how to behave. His actually listens when you call him to you and it's given him more freedom to be out in the yard with us. All of the tools she gives you are so useful and I can't recommend her enough!

We can't recommend Country Life K9 Training enough! We put both of our Golden Retrievers in the Basic Obedience Board & Train Program, and it was amazing to see the transformation in both dogs. Lauren discussed the pros and cons of training both dogs separately vs. at the same time, and we ended up doing their trainings separately back-to-back and we are very glad we did. This allowed us time alone with our younger dog who was more timid going into training and gained a whole new sense of confidence, and also learned how to fully trust us. Our older (and larger) dog had more bad habits going into the training because he had longer to develop bad habits. He was a classic example of *somewhat* knowing what to do, but thinking everything was optional, so it was very impressive to see how he responded to the added layer of accountability the training provided through the e-collar. We are so proud of them both and excited to be able to include them in more adventures that we know we wouldn’t have been able to before training. Lauren and Sarah are the absolute best, and we wish we would have done this sooner!

My three year old rescue German Shepherd is a whole new dog!! Cannot say how happy that he went from a space in the door runaway, devil dog, shoe, book, pillow chewer into a treat to be with. I was worried that he’d comeback from training a robotom but when I “release” him from control he is every bit the quirky crazy dog I love. Thank you Country Living K9 Training you have taken the worries out of my life.

We sent Deacon, our one year old English Bulldog, to the board and train program. He was sweet but very stubborn, didn't walk well on the leash and had very selective hearing. He is listening SO much better and is walking well without dragging us around. I was so worried about leaving him for three weeks but they post videos daily so you can see what they're working on and how much fun they're having. The videos are also super helpful to look back on at home to make sure you're keeping up with the training. I researched which training program I wanted to send Deacon to for so long and decided on Country Life K9 Training because I loved the videos and loved how they spoke to the dogs they were training. They correct them but they are so sweet and are constantly praising them when they're doing well. I'm so happy we sent Deacon here. Thank you so much Lauren and Sarah, you are amazing!

Lauren and Sarah at Country Life K9 training are awesome with Oakley! He spent 3 weeks with them when he was 7 months old. Now we take him back everytime we go away! As you can see from the picture he loves playing with his doggie friends.
