Idaho K9 Academy

We started working with Robert and his team when our lab pup was 5 months. He helped her solidify all of her basic commands and more! She is more confident on walks, holds a place very well and learned her manners on how to greet people. We loved working with Robert and would absolutely recommend him to anyone! Our pup loved working with him and it was incredible to see her capabilities grow through the five weeks of training.

Upon enrolling we were asked personal training questions we wanted to work on. Ours was dog’s reactivity to other dogs. My Labrador retriever is super friendly but didn’t understand social cues from other dogs so he would get into fights because he would get in their face and didn’t understand. After addressing this our trainer said we could train for that, which was amazing to hear since most dog training facilities only work on what’s included in the package. After day one of drop off, I swear I picked up a completely different dog (mentality and behavior wise). It was like night and day! When I came to see how he was doing they had 2 dogs walking around him and he didn’t react!! The dogs they had were from the shelter who didn’t have much training yet! It was amazing! After that, training was improving! We are still working on whining at other dogs but other than that my lab doesn’t react to dogs who bark or whin at him. We also worked on off leash as well since we also use ecollars for him to fetch. Our trainer really worked with us on OUR lifestyle and his individual personality which meant the world to me. I was also informed about how my behavior influenced my dog and how to fix it. If you are debating on spending the money; don’t; they literally work with you and help you understand what you and your dog can work on to help each other to become upstanding citizens! The best training we have ever received; truly! You also get a graduation diploma for your dog which has their photo on it! 5/5 stars!!
