Intelligent K9 Dog Training

Brought my 4 month old blue nose pit to CJ and honestly learn a lot. a really good way to start if you just bought your first dog and not really sure where to start, this is the way to go. my 4 month old puppy is now potty train, walks by my side, knows my commands of to stop, sit, down, and come. I highly recommend CJ and overall just shared so much information on dog behavior and he is extremely knowledgeable.

We wouldn't have the relationship we do with our dog without CJ's support, hands down. Growing up with dogs does not mean that you know how to train and manage your own, I learned that over several frustrating months prior to finding CJ. In our weeks with CJ we received training as much as our dog did. He started with the very basics of what it means to have a dog in the house and that it's okay, in fact vital, to establish healthy boundaries. CJ was so generous with his time, we could tell he honestly wanted us to succeed. It's a two way relationship with your pup and CJ's approach improves owner-pet communication while also emphasizing how to hone in on feedback. CJ equipped us with confidence and tools for problem solving future challenges - thank you Intelligent K9!

Easily the BEST investment we have made for our dog! For anyone that is considering Intelligent K9, do yourself and your pup a favor and schedule a consultation with CJ. His knowledge and experience with training dogs is invaluable and absolutely helped us train our dog the right way. In terms of dog training equipment, he has it all and has a very expansive knowledge with each piece of equipment such as: Prong Collar, E-Collar, etc. I was not a fan of these training tools at first BUT with time I learned the value in using it and most importantly how to utilize it correctly.

My husband and I got an 8 week working line old German Shepherd Dog. The dog of my dreams. I began self training him and had successfully, or so I thought, mastered the basic commands. However, by the time he was 14 weeks old he had become more like the dog of my nightmares. He was viciously barking, lunging, and baring his teeth at everyone, including other dogs. He started pulling and zigzagging on his lead and was not respecting boundaries at all. At this point, I knew I needed professional help but I had to find the right trainer. After countless hours of internet searching and 3 seperate consultations with 3 different trainers, each at $100.00 per hour, I found that Intelligent K9 had the highest ratings. We set up a phone consultation with CJ, who, with 15 years of training experience, was very knowledgeable and professional. He offered a board and train option, or private sessions. Because I really wanted to build a strong and special bond with my dog, and I wanted to know exactly how to train him throughout his lifetime, I wanted the private sessions. I'm so glad we took this option. When we arrived at our first session we were able to chat with CJ a bit more before jumping right into training. This was an excellent opportunity for CJ to see 1st hand what we were dealing with. I was very impressed with CJ's ability to work calmly with my dog, who was doing his best to bite CJ. During this session CJ really took the time to thoroughly explain to us how to communicate with our dog through the use of training tools, and the importance of leadership and consistency, which we had been lacking. We left this session feeling confident that we could do this! We headed home to begin our homework. Things seemed to be going well, but I began having reservations with using a prong collar on my dog. I decided to text CJ. He was very understanding and did not pressure me. Instead, he worked with me through my fears and was very kind in doing so. As we continued our private sessions, we began to see massive improvements in our dog's behavior, and our own leadership skills! Not only is our dog no longer chewing under our bed, or rushing out of his crate. He quit trying to bite CJ, and he is walking on his lead without pulling and zigzagging. He is no longer lunging at people, he ignores other dogs on our walks, and he no longer rushes doorways. I have more confidence in my own ability to train my dog, and he and I are creating that special bond I really want! This was all happening much faster than I was expecting, which is awesome! At every session, CJ was fantastic to work with. Even when we had lagged in our training, he didn't make us feel bad for it. He really wants to see you and your dog succeed. He helps you really understand how to communicate with your dog and how to create the lifestyle for you and your dog that you want. I really appreciate that he is involved with you throughout the process and responded to any calls, or texts, within a reasonable time frame. It has been a great experience training with CJ at Intelligent K9 and knowing they are here for us at any time in our future should we have any set backs, is a comforting feeling. Thank you, CJ! Training with you has made Echo the dog of my dreams again, not my nightmares! I have gained leadership skills I didn't know I had, and life with Echo is becoming everything that I had hoped it would be. I HIGHLY recommend private sessions with Intelligent K9 to anyone who is looking for a reputable, professional, knowledgeable trainer and an overall great training experience. Thanks again, CJ!
