Super impressed with my experience with John K9! Highly recommend the board and train program!
I first began speaking with John in May 2025 regarding my situation and needing to rehome my two pitbulls. I had reached out to numerous rescues/shelters and never heard anything back. I started reaching out to dog trainers in the area and John immediately got back to me and wanted to discuss over the phone. We had a lengthy conversation where he listened intently and offered great advice.
I ended up successfully rehoming both of my dogs until a few months ago whenever my friend had to return one of my dogs back to me. I immediately thought of John K9 because I knew in order to keep my dog in the home I needed him to behave — the both of us needed training!
As of today, December 30th, I am proud to say Mack has successfully completed his 30 day board and train program! I am super impressed with his transformation.. Evan was his trainer and I feel he really understood what Mack needed and could (and did) deliver. I am stoked to be able to have Mack back home and am excited to continue his training and enjoy him as my companion!
Thank you to everyone at John K9 — Marissa, Evan, John, and all of the kennel staff!

The absolute best!!!
Pepper is my first puppy/dog that I have owned on my own, so this has all been a learning experience for myself & her. When I was first searching for different facilities to take her to for boarding, daycare, etc., I was struggling with deciding on the right place as I had a weird feeling about the different places we visited. From the very first time Pepper & I stepped into John K9 I knew that I found the right place for my girl! ❤️
Pepper just finished her day training program with her trainer, Carlos (who is fantastic & loves her just as much as I do!), but she has also done boarding and daycare with John K9. Every staff member that I have interacted with has been nothing short of amazing and I love how every single one of them know Pepper by name, as well as making her feel special and welcome every single day. Although Pepper is done with training now, she will still go to them if I ever need to board her or want to drop her off at daycare for the day. I’ve also been looking into some of their other services/classes to potentially do with her as well because of the great experience we have had over the past month and a half.
Just to add on about how amazing they are… one day I had bought a Ruffland kennel from them & unfortunately it didn’t fit in my car to take back home. The owner, John, went out of his way to deliver the kennel to my home & made sure to also take the time to say hello to Pepper & give her some good pets & attention for a few moments 😊.
So grateful to have found John K9! 10/10 would recommend to everyone!
