Fortunate K9 Dog and Owner Training

We have had an amazing experience training our puppy here. She was a very nervous cane corso puppy. Rick helped me learn the best way to train her and build my own confidence handling her. Her confidence has grown as well. We successfully finished the puppy class and signed right up for private lessons. Rick answers all of our questions and guides us through real life situations. Our puppy is happy to go to class weekly and much less nervous. We are excited to have such a well behaved dog. Thanks Rick!

We cannot say enough good things about Fortunate K9! We were almost at the point of giving up on our rescue dog because of his severe aggression toward humans and other dogs, but after just one training with Tom we noticed a difference. After just a few lessons we’ve been able to better manage his reactions and are amazed at how quickly he’s improved. All the dogs we’ve seen at Fortunate K9 are well behaved and trained! We would highly recommend to anyone dealing with a reactive dog.

We brought our 10 month old rescue to Tom at FortunateK9. Yes, it isn’t just for big dogs! Charlie had very random aggression towards my husband and we didn’t know how to begin to deal with it. We had tried a different trainer who gave us information that did not work with Charlie’s demeanor (reinforce bad behavior with treats) . When I was told to look into a Board and Train program, I found FortunateK9. No one is comfortable leaving their dog with strangers for 4 weeks but just reading through the FAQs on the website made me feel better almost instantly. Starting from the first evaluation, I was already learning how to be a better dog owner! While we definitely missed our dog for the four weeks and I cried multiple times wishing he was home, I can’t thank Tom enough for giving us so much information in a short period of time to make it an easy transition for Charlie from “summer camp” to home. Small things that caused huge outbursts of aggression no longer exist and if they do happen, we know how to correct it. If you are at a loss with your dog, please contact Tom and ForunateK9. They helped keep our little family together.

We just finished puppy class with Jen. Before we started classes we were worried and unsure because of our high energy puppy. She eased our minds, answered all our questions, took time and helped all the people and puppies in class to become really comfortable and successful. We had so much fun and felt so confident with what we learned and we look forward to more classes. Our puppy LOVES Jen!!!! I highly recommend this training, we've been to other training classes with other dogs in the past and they were nothing like this.
