Intelligent K9 Dog Training

Absolutely killer experience! CJ is very straight and to the point, not to mention dog brain knowledgeable! We participated in the transform your dog in 49 days training and our Drizzt (8 mo old Shepherd/Rottie) is doing wonderfully! CJ helped us understand how a dog's brain actually works and how to set boundaries so we can all have a happier, more relaxing lifestyle. We no longer have to worry about Drizzt dragging me down the road or jumping on people when they walk in my door. We will forever be thankful for the knowledge and support provided to us by CJ and highly, highly recommend his company for your dog/dog owner training needs. Happy New Year CJ and thank you so much for the great experience!

We came to training at Intelligent K9 with a dog we thought was untrainable. We had tried everything else and this was honestly our last effort before we got rid of her, things were that bad. I grew up with dogs and have had dogs my entire life, but this pup was beyond me. After finishing the program with C.J., we have a fantastic dog that is part of the family just like we hoped. C.J. Is fantastic to work with, and this program works if you put in the effort. Our Shepherd mix went from being aggressive, territorial, and impossible to walk to being an off-leash capable, loving member of the family. I cannot recommend this program enough. Thanks for everything C.J.!!!

Hi, I’m Kelley and 2 years ago I adopted a 1-year-old deaf Dalmatian named Tsarina. She had been surrendered to a shelter because her high energy level was too much for her family. She came to me gorgeous but wild, having no boundaries, jumping, puppy biting, and racing around the house like a bull in a china shop. Determined to transform her into a wonderful companion I watched videos, did treat training, used a variety of “no pull” collars and harnesses, and purchased an e-collar to “call her" and direct her focus to my hand signals. We formed a close emotional bond, and I made progress, but after a year I became increasingly frustrated that my efforts were only taking me so far. Tsarina’s willpower and physical strength took over when in highly stimulating environments. On our walks she still pulled, was reactive to other dogs, and in the house, I still longed for a calmer energy. She was not yet the go anywhere with me sidekick that I’d dreamed of. Finally, I entertained getting some professional help and set up a consultation with CJ of Intelligent K-9 Dog Training. CJ was totally familiar with the struggles I described and reflected back to me the truth of my situation, that I was exhausted putting out all the effort while Tsarina had none of the responsibility and that I needed our relationship to be more FUN! We began our training journey and CJ was an excellent teacher. He was approachable, enthusiastic, and supportive, making our training sessions a real pleasure. His training techniques were understandable, logical, humane, and yielded the exact results that he said they would. Once I understood how to implement the techniques, I could apply them to any goal I had, with Tsarina participating and taking some responsibility in our partnership. Positive change became easy and predictable. Having completed the 49-day program I am still enjoying program benefits. I have attended group outings and CJ checks in, reminding me that he is a lifetime resource for us. I am really amazed and feel fortunate to have chosen the right person to help me. If you are considering professional dog training, stop waiting. There is too much relief and fun to be had. Our lives at home with Tsarina have been transformed. Our household energy level is pleasant, our walks are comfortable and easy, and I can just love and enjoy her. Beyond that, I am THAT girl - the one taking her dog to cafés and wineries and festivals, to family gatherings, and having off leash fun. Tsarina and I have exactly what I dreamed of when I got her. I can take her anywhere with me and she lays quietly at my feet, gazing up at me with love and I’m thinking “Right back at you, sweetie girl.” Thank you so much CJ – Intelligent K9 Dog Training!!!

I consider myself to be fairly dog savvy, but when I rescued a reactive 90 lb, 1 yr old Rottweiler, I knew I needed some help. After meeting several trainers and looking at their videos, I scheduled a one on one with CJ and made the decision to work with him. His knowledge with the breed and confidence in his ability to make me, the owner, feel confident as well, was key. He asked me what my goals were and explained to me how we would work to achieve them. One of the best things about his program is the fact that even after you have completed your training course, you are not forgotten. He has groups that meet for walks so you can continue to work on what you've learned. He makes himself available if you have questions when you're alone with your dog and aren't quite sure about things. Definitely can't go wrong. No matter the size of your dog or problem, CJ will help you and your dog be successful.
