We attended an introduction to agility class on Saturday. It was well run, very fun, focused on the dogs. Great place

One review cannot possibly share how amazing the team at K9CA has been to me and my pup! I tried a few other training locations in Winston-Salem for puppy classes and just wasn't loving the experiences I was getting. I then heard about K9CA and gave them a try. We've been with them ever since! We started with a puppy class and have now done over a dozen classes as well as lots of super fun Saturday Scrimmages, Trekkers walks throughout Winston-Salem, and more! Mary, Stephanie, and Sharon have taught me so much as a first-time handler and I am so appreciative of their encouragement, patience, and support. They not only care about my dog, but they also genuinely care about me. They've been incredibly generous when I've missed classes and have reached out to check in on me. They do a lot to give back to the community through their therapy and performance teams, as well as attendance at local events. Their prices are extremely reasonable (some other local trainers are charging a LOT more for the same training) and their membership options are a great deal! I didn't expect dog training to bring me community, but I've definitely found that at K9CA! Reina at Fluff 'N Buff Pet Grooming (located inside K9CA) is also wonderful and she is certainly part of the K9CA community!
Great, experienced, patient and creative trainers in a clean, well lit, organized environment.Group walks in local parks and greenways are an added bonus. Lots of fun for owners and their dogs.
Best trainers in Winston Salem! Amazing facility with invested trainers who care. Both my Goldens are amazing boys in part to what I learned at K9 Coaching Academy.
