Diversity K9 Services

I love Tracy and Diversity K9 Services. I have a beautiful dog who has anxiety. He was very defensive and it was difficult to have people visit at my house. UPS and FEDX delivery men as well as my son and all my friends were afraid of him. Tracy was able to work with me to help Wally become less defensive and less anxious. In just three months I’ve seen a huge change in him and in me. Tracy has helped me understand how Wally feels and what he might be thinking. Last week 3 friends came over to my house and Wally didn’t react at all. He was at ease and fell asleep in his crate while we watched a movie. I am so happy! And so is Wally! Doggy Day Care has also been a huge help and I’ve boarded him while on a trip over the 4th of July. I didn’t worry about him at all. I got a short video everyday of Wally on his walk around the pond. Thank you, Tracy and all the staff at Diversity K9! I am a better dog owner and Wally is a happier dog!

We rescued our pit when he was three months old. Louie is very sweet but had lots of anxiety, and couldn't seem to tell the difference between discipline and play. We've had a lot of dogs, but did not feel we had all the tools necessary to help him (and us!) feel calm and have a healthy relationship. We sought out a trainer, and Diversity K9 was one of the highest-rated dog trainers we researched. He's been going two days a week for about seven months and the entire staff has become like his extended family. And I'm so happy to say that his training has done absolute wonders for our home and relationship. The commands that he's learned help both him and us navigate everyday situations calmly. Despite all this, we were still nervous to take Louie on our annual trip from Florida to New Jersey. It is a long car ride, culminating in a giant ferry ride (with lots of strangers). The house we stay in has anywhere from 12-20 people (including small children) staying there at one time, plus lots of parties with over 30 people, and four older dogs. Louie did absolutely amazing with all of these new situations and people/dogs. We were so delighted that his training helped both him and us have a really good time. While he's not completely anxiety free (plus he's still a puppy and naturally hyper), he depends on the consistency of commands to understand what the expectations are. We've gone from being at our wits' end to truly enjoying him as a family member, and his training has been priceless. We are so grateful to have found these human angels who have enriched our lives at Diversity K9.

I have about a million great things to say about Diversity K9 and it starts with the people. They are extremely professional, patient, and caring. I have a very anxious pup and they have been great at building his confidence, as well as training him. He used to be scared of other dogs and people but he now plays with pups at daycare and has even learned to let a few people at Diversity touch him. I also like how safe the facilities are. When we first started bringing my dog there, he was an escape artist, and I was afraid he'd somehow get out. They have several safety precautions in place so an escape is almost impossible. I highly recommend Diversity K9 for training as well as boarding.

Initially, in researching who to take my dog to for training, I saw great reviews! I was also very pleased with their pricing. So much more reasonable than other trainers I've researched! Nicole trained my very active 10 month old puppy. She is an excellent trainer! I love how she trains based upon the dog she's working with, and not on a "one size fits all" approach. I'm not overstating it when I say Nicole's training and input is changing my life with my dog to look like what I envisioned when I adopted her!
