We could not be happier with the training we received with Chris. Our dogs learned so much and so did we! We have a much calmer household and feel so much more confident in not only our dogs, but ourselves. We appreciate Idaho elite so much for helping us understand our dogs better! They have taught us things that can be carried on to any future dogs we may have, the knowledge we have gained is priceless.

We are visiting from out of town and my German shepherd was in need of a good bath. Rachel called me back although she was out of town and was able to squeeze us in last minute. The employees were so nice and they even bathed him twice. We come to Rigby at least once a year to see my in laws so if we ever need a bath or boarding then this is where I will go!! Prices are great too compared to where we live in wa state.

Chris gave so much good information and reliability when booking my evaluation. Although we went under training with Cheyanne I don’t think I would have seen a difference in my dog Roxie’s training. She care so much not only for the pups she works with but for their family. On our last day Chris even stepped in to tell us how great we were doing as he saw us roaming around the river for the Fourth of July. I will definitely be sending any business I can to them and when I’m ready for a puppy I know exactly where I’ll be going!

Idaho Elite K-9 absolutely exceeded my expectations. I sent my dog for the 6-week board and train program, and the results were incredible. He learned quickly and not only picked up the commands taught, but truly perfected them. I needed his training completed efficiently and within a strict timeframe, and the team took that seriously and delivered. My dog is sensitive, and Idaho Elite K-9 did an amazing job meeting him exactly where he was at. They were patient, understanding, and clearly experienced with dogs who need a little extra care and confidence-building. They also addressed specific concerns I had, including pulling on leash and running up and down stairs. Chris was especially great about explaining the entire process from start to finish. He took the time to walk me through how each piece of equipment worked, why it was used, and the behavioral science behind it. I never felt confused or left in the dark, and that transparency made me trust the program even more. I loved the frequent video updates. It was reassuring to see the training in action and watch his progress week by week. The one-on-one training sessions were also a huge highlight—helping me learn how to work as a handler/dog team. Most importantly, this training truly changed our situation and made life with my dog manageable again, and I’m so grateful. I truly can’t thank Chris, Cheyanne, Casey, and the entire Idaho Elite K-9 enough. If you’re considering a board and train program or any training, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

K9 Elite gave us all the tools we needed to make our dog behave. The K9 facility is well maintained and employees super friendly. We will use K9 Elite for all our boarding and future dog behavior issues. Cheyenne, our trainer, assured us with a phone number, for any future help that we might need.
