Lily did a wonderful job. She is amazing. She goes above and beyond to make sure the dog is doing well getting the proper training and everything he needs. She is joyful, helpful, knowledgeable, and goes beyond expectations. She is a 100% perfect choice for my needs and my dog Rex. He just loves her so much and listens to everything. She teaches him with kindness and positivity and it works. Looking forward to continuing touching base with her she is excellent.

Helped me with my Benji (puppy) I wasn’t able to take him on walks or around other dogs and now going on walks with my son is Benji favorite thing to do. I hope anyone who needs training for their dogs let their expertise help :)

For those who are looking for dog training, K9 Courage is the way to go! Lily is compassionate and patient! She was great with Otis! Had him there for 3 weeks! Always communicated with us and sent updates and photos! On pick up day, our family had a training sesssion too! Lily showed us what Otis was taught so we could apply it at home. We were also sent home with a packet that had tips to continue training at home. Thank you Lily and K9 Courage for being so patient with our pup! We'll definitely see y'all soon!

Lily did great work with Athena. Athena is 2 years old and has had behavioral issues. Now it is easier to manage her and I couldn’t have done it without Lily!

McKinley (Cane Corso) did the 2 week puppy board and train at around 18 weeks. She came back with a solid understanding of the basic commands. Her time with Lily built her confidence and manners. This is my third mastiff. Its so important large breeds like McKinley are well trained for their safety and the safety of those around them. I have used many different trainers and training programs in the past. I found Lily to have extensive knowledge, great communication, and a clean facility. I will be sure to recommend K9 Courage and use them again for any future dogs.
