FirstBarkI had a very dog reactive german shepherd. IBK9 was able to work with me and show me how to transform this aggression. I now can confidently take him on walks where i know he will meet other dogs, and I'm trained and knowledgeable on how to manage his excitement. He also stays on a heal, even when we walk by rabbits. Before IBK9, he would go nuts, trying to get at the rabbits!

We came to IBK9 after our dog (Adderall) was struggling with reactivity toward people and dogs (especially dogs). He is an absolute love bug with his family, and his fur siblings, so we kept trying to give him more exposure thinking that would help (spoiler alert: it didn’t, it made it worse). So after almost a year of trying, we decided to go the training route. I contacted IBK9 for an evaluation, and while one on one training would be an ok option, we wanted to give our boy the best we could, so we ultimately went with board and train (his trainer is Julie). It was the best decision we made for Adderall, it gave him and us the tools for success. 6 weeks post training, we can really enjoy going out with him with little to no reactions! We are still participating in group sessions and soon will be in agility classes!
Very pleased! I had an issue with my dog running away and peeing in the house. I feel like I was trained more then Josie (My Dog). Understanding what I was doing wrong has helped make life so much better. I’m very pleased with the professionalism. I would not hesitate to continue to use IB K9 for future issues.

I absolutely love them! Julie and Jason have helped me shape my puppy into the best pupper! He was showing signs of reactivity and they helped me understand what to do and how to help him! His obedience is amazing and that’s not something I would have thought a puppy could be capable of. I love how they took the time to explain what was happening and why - they aren’t just helping train your dog, but also you as an owner!

I was connected with I.B. K9 originally because a dog I was fostering was extremely leash reactive. Jason was so great to work with and has continued to work with him even after he was adopted! Then after finding out we were expecting our first baby, we wanted to get some formal training for our dog, Harlow! Harlow completed their 2 week board and train with Julie and came home with more confidence and is just an overall better listener. She's much better with impulse control and I am confident that she will do great with proper boundaries around the new baby! We can't wait to continue working with them!
