CRK9 Idaho

Most of the time I do short reviews, but CRK9 deserves far more. Be prepared for a long read My vet recommended CRK9 to me when I asked about training for my pup. I was nervous due to the breed, potential temperament, and size of my dog. I called Kevin and Allie when my puppy was about 3 months old. From the first phone call I was given advice and directions that become pivotal to my dog’s and my future. My wife and I have been taking private sessions and since we began we have been given directions that have been clearly explained, and are easy to follow. The results have been outstanding and I’ve gotten nothing but compliments about my dog’s behavior even with him still being a puppy at 5 months. Further more, I’ve always felt respected as a trainer. If I’m doing something wrong Kevin and Allie quickly notice and correct my mistakes and prevent me from teaching my dog bad habits. They make me feel confident in myself and in my training an abilities. Without Kevin and Allie I would be struggling and my pup would not be the dog I always wanted

Our dog’s name is Lotus! Kevin and his wife, Allie, took on our 3 year old pup, who was reactive and struggled with some bad manners. We chose the board and train program and were honestly nervous that Lotus might not be the same dog when he came home. Instead, he returned as the same sweet Lotus we love just with better manners and the tools to help us tackle everyday life together. Our home has been calm and anxiety free ever since, and we couldn’t be happier!

I enrolled my dog in the board and train program, and the timing worked out perfectly since I was going on vacation. Throughout the first couple of weeks, I received consistent updates via photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. During the third week, my pup began working in public settings, and then I was able to join in and learn how to continue the training myself. Kevin has a very clear teaching style—they’re patient, knowledgeable, and easy to understand. I left feeling confident about how to keep reinforcing the training at home. I’m extremely happy with the experience and the progress my dog has made!

Kevin and Alli were wonderful to work with. We were very nervous about leaving our Bisbee with them for her training ( She thinks she is a Princess). She is a 13 month old Wiemier German Shepard mix and only did what she wanted, not necessarily what we wanted. We picked her up today after 5 weeks of board and training and we are very pleased with her progress. She is a completely different dog. She will now follow our commands and even if you are in a store and tell her to sit or lay down she will stay there even if you walk out of her sight. Once or twice a week Kevin and Alli would send us videos showing her progress and we got to see how much Kevin cared about Bisbee. Near the end of training we spent several hours over several days learning what we needed to do to continue the training at home. We could not be happier with her progress. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND CRK9
