I was referred to Elite K 9 and Cejay by a friend. I knew her dog before training started and after Cejay had one session with my friend’s dog; I knew I needed him to work with my dog Dorothy. Dorothy is a Carin Terrier about two years old. She is love itself, but she did not listen to me at all. I could not get her to come unless she felt like it. She had no awareness of cars, danger, or space. If she got loose she would run like crazy. Dorothy barked at everyone, every dog, bird, or sound. She wouldn’t stop even when I held her. She loves attention and affection and total strangers. She jumped on people whenever she saw them. I met with Cejay for a consultation and we talked about options. I ultimately decided to board Dorothy with him for a week and have him train her. She returned home and knew how to follow commands with confidence. That gave me the ability to take over and follow through with her training. Cejay worked with both Dorothy and me. We are successful. Dorothy graduated today from her training. She is doing fantastic. I feel safe taking her almost everywhere I go. I am so grateful for having had the opportunity to work with Cejay. I laughingly tell people that Dorothy went to boarding school. He is the very best. He always reminds you of your appointments, he is punctual, he utilizes time well and always asks about your concerns. Your dog could not be in better hands! Thank you Cejay at Elite K 9!!!!!!

We had the best experience with Ceejay! There was a noticeable difference in our puppy’s behavior after just one session. Our dog (Judo) is not motivated by treats and had a lot energy that manifested in mischief like digging holes and eating shoes. We were at a loss on how to train her. Elite K-9 brought peace back into our house. Ceejay did a great job of communicating the how & why of training and was always happy to answer any of our questions. Even with our young, energetic son in tow for all our sessions he lead our family through the process with excellence. In a matter of weeks our wild puppy is able to walk off leash and stay out of trouble at home. We’re so grateful to have had elite k-9 guide us through bringing out the best in our fur baby.

Having my dog professionally trained by Cejay , Owner and trainer of K 9 Elite has been a game changer for both myself and my rescue dog. I have had dogs all my life, but never had a dog that was professionally trained. Cejay gave me the tools and training to turn my dog into a well behaved dog, that I feel I can take anywhere. It was well worth the expense and the time. He is truly a professional, and does his job very well.
