All the trainers as K-9 companies are great and they did an amazing job training my labor doodle. Can’t wait for off leash training.

We’ve been working with Gracie from K9 Companions to train our puppy as an autism service dog, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better trainer. From the very beginning, Gracie has shown incredible knowledge, patience, and a deep understanding of both service dog work and the specific needs of individuals with autism. She has helped guide us through each step of the training process, always taking the time to explain techniques clearly and tailoring her approach to our puppy’s unique temperament and learning style. What I appreciate most is how focused she is on building a strong, reliable partnership between the dog and handler. Our puppy is thriving under her guidance—not just learning basic obedience, but also beginning to master essential tasks that will support someone on the autism spectrum. It’s been truly inspiring to watch the progress, and I have complete confidence in the direction we’re heading thanks to Gracie’s expertise. If you’re looking for a compassionate, skilled, and professional dog trainer—especially for service dog work—I wholeheartedly recommend Gracie at K9 Companions. She’s making a life-changing difference for our family.
K-9 Companion and their stuff are the best of the best! Highly recommend them for dog training. Shout out to Emily, who is 15/10 dog trainer who truly knows how to communicate with animals.
