IQ K9 Training

It’s a shame that the highest rating you can give is 5 stars, because 5 stars doesn’t even begin to reflect the professionalism, kindness, and dedication that everyone at IQ K9 embodies. We sent our dog Mylo for a 3 week board and train and it was the most incredible, life changing experience for us. It was obvious that each trainer was not only knowledgeable, but had truly taken the time to get to know and work with Mylo, however, it didn’t stop there. The entire staff also helped work with us after training to ensure we had the knowledge to continue his skills at home. Through our interactions you could tell that each staff member truly cared for each individual animal there and loves what they do. 100/10 recommend IQ K9 to anyone inquiring about their services!

We had our Malinois do their board and training service. We had a great experience and learned so much from IQK9. We also got more training from IQK9 after we added a Dutch Shepherd into our family. IQK9 is the only place we trust to board our boys when we have to go out of town. They have so much fun. Our Mal literally whines from excitement when we get to their facility. We just know that they will be well taken care of and be mentally/physically stimulated. I also appreciate that they send photo updates.

I dropped my then 8 month old Cane Corso puppy off for the 2 week board and train program and have been raving about IQ K9 Training to anyone who will listen since! Blueberry is a smart dog (proud mommy’s opinion) but that also meant she learned just how much she could push back before I’d just let her do her. The training began on my very first phone call to simply inquire about the programs they offered. I had a very thorough call with Stani and she even gave me a few pointers to start implementing right away. That was my first WOW moment with IQ K9 Training. I was given helpful advice without the promise of my dog participating in their program. That’s typically unheard of! But that wasn’t the only time. I signed Blue up for the training and even before her first day, Luis not only sent alot of helpful information on what to expect over the 2 week board and train but we also emailed and spoke on the phone several times prior to me dropping her off. My sister had done a similar board and train a few years back with her pup so it’s assumed you drop your dog off and if you want updates you have to call. Not with IQ K9!! They sent updates every few days which included pictures and videos. On drop off day, Blueberry’s vet and I had been monitoring her eye which was looking like it was going to cherry. Stani, Luis and Logan went above and beyond by contacting my personal vet and sending her pictures of the eye, all while keeping me in the loop of what the vet told them to do. I was super appreciative that my baby was receiving not just training, but love and care. Now let’s talk about training. Until this program, I wasn’t able to go to the bathroom by myself 😆. She would scream and fight me if I tried to put her in her kennel, she’d zoom out the front door the moment it opened…… now she looks at the kennel as her place to calm herself and rest, she waits nicely at the door until I tell her she can go, she can stay in “place” (often falls asleep now) for long periods of time and her recall is fantastic and immediate from decently far distances. They gave us both the tools we need to have a great relationship! AND!!! After I picked her up, they still check in on us which is again, unheard of! This team goes above and beyond for your dogs, you can tell they love what they do! In fact, on one of our follow ups, I mentioned that Blue and I were going to go on our first trip and that she would be in a new location with a lot of new people coming in and out. I also mentioned I was worried about walking her in this new area as there are usually a lot of stray or unleashed dogs. Stani, Luis and Logan all helped to create several scenarios to help me work through and become comfortable handling various situations so that as a team Blue and I would be prepared for our first long distance trip. That was more training for me than for Blue but they wanted to make sure I felt equipped to handle anything that might come at us because it’s also important for Blue. I know that I have their continuous support if Blueberry and I should ever run into a hiccup and that just provides such a sense of relief as she continues to get older. I have nothing but amazing things to say about the team at IQ K9 Training. In my opinion, this is the only place you should take your dog for training!
