K-nine Solutions is absolutely amazing! Eric, took time to explain the Program, helped us make it work with our schedule, and made us feel comfortable and at ease! We did our first Board and Train when our lab was three months old. The beautiful care, love and knowledge that Madison took with our puppy; not only while boarding but also while training is incredible! Her loving care is felt by our whole family. The entire team at K-Nine Solutions is completely impressive. Their ability and talent to beautifully train is life changing. We cannot thank them enough!! Cora, now 5 months, will be heading back for another 2 week program of board and train. We are truly thankful for their inspiring outlook, talent and love. Thank you!!

Our trainer Madison is heaven sent!!! She's great with dogs in general, but has a heart for pitties much like we (now) do❤️ My boyfriend and I have learned so much, but mostly that our pup's behavior starts and ends with us. We too have been "trained"-trained to better understand and deal with our pup. Madison once told us "We don't always get the dogs we want, but the dogs we need." This has never rang more true. We were ready to give Lemmy up before coming here. It's been a lot of work, but she's worth it! Thank you Madison for loving our girl like she's your own, showing us the power of tough love, and educating and reassuring us along the way. We literally cannot thank you enough!!!

I feel so compelled to write this review. I have a 12 month old Labrador named Cash, that was successfully slowly but surely making me loose my mind! He was an unruly 85 pounds of puppy that basically had me crying in a corner. Actually, I'm pretty sure I cried during our evaluation with Eric just based on the fact that I was at my whits end. We signed up for the 3 week train w/ E Collar. Wow, the dog I have now is making me cry happy tears! Let me just tell you.. this weekend was our first weekend to really utilize his new set of training skills. I mean, I really put him to the test. We went out to lunch first (inside I was freaking out a little I'm not going to lie, I usually have some sort of distraction or chew for him) he blew my mind. My husband said, can you believe we are actually eating in peace?! He was calm and laid perfectly in his place as a million distractions and other dogs passed by (mind you, he was VERY reactive to both). If this was 3 weeks earlier, he would have been trying to aggressively get to the other dog across the street that he thought he saw. Next we walked him down state, again, a million distractions and chaos and he was right by my side listening to each command I gave. I had us backed up against a wall watching everyone for 30 minutes just to see (his impulse control was non-existent before) he eventually just laid at my feet while dogs were literally lunging/barking etc. People were stopping and commenting on him. My mind was blown. I have never felt so confident EVER and so in control and K-Nine Solutions gave me that gift. THANK YOU GUYS! If anyone is out there and struggling on how much of a financial investment this is, I get you. Let me just save you that money you're going to spend elsewhere, because this team is seriously the best. We had friends in shock and awe all weekend as we continued on. This is something you will not regret, I am so thankful I now have a new leash on life!
