K9 Guide Dog Training

We decided to enroll our Belgian Malinois into the K9 Guide Dog Training because he would not listen to us outside in an environment full of distractions, that is, everywhere but home. He would bark at all dogs on the street or the dog park; at the dog park he would chase (and steal) every single ball being thrown, and of course, get in trouble with other dogs; he would jump on people, pull heavily while on a leash and overall ignore our commands. We watched videos and read tons of information about training but never really made significant progress. Yana and her team started working on him, after 4 weeks when he came back home I could not believe my eyes, I was impressed by his progress and intelligence but more impressed on Yana and her team for managing to accomplish more in 4 weeks working with him than us in 6 months! Our dog now listens to us every time, every where, from the basic "sit" command to hold a "down" when you start walking away while surrounded by all kinds of distractions. You still need to keep it consistent though, he is no robot. We did not need to get him used to us giving the commands now, it was automatic, the very first time we gave him a command he listened and performed accordingly. As a matter of fact, it was us who required a little bit of training on what the dog was expecting from us! Totally recommend K9 Guide Dog Training, you will not regret it, it is an investment that returns satisfaction within 4 weeks and for life. Be prepared to let Yana, her team and your dog blow your mind!

The best decision we’ve made. We have a 9 month Belgian Malinois puppy that has a lot of energy. We thought we knew what we were getting into when we got him and we though we were ready since we’ve always had dogs. We were wrong. I was getting really concerned because as much as Magnus and I enjoy going for walks it was becoming a challenge with all the pulling. After joining the board and train program Magnus has been walking next to me without trying to go running out of nowhere, there is no more pulling, no stress. Magnus also had the tendency to jump on people out of excitement. You can see how this can be a problem specially because he is a big dog. Trained Magnus was able to go out with us to our friend’s apartment and stay on place, it was amazing to have him he was part of the gathering and we neodymium have to worry about him chewing or breaking anything in their home with his zoomies. Yana has given us the opportunity to communicate with our Magnus so he can use all his smarts and energy on training. And we are using toys which makes it so much fun! He is so focused and works so well it’s unbelievable. I am extremely happy with the results and Yana has been really accesible and profesional. She knows exactly what she is doing and her training techniques work wonders. You give your dog purpose and you give yourself a well behaved best friend and peace of mind! ❤️

We had the absolute BEST experience working with Yana at K9 Guide Dog Training! It is very hard to just hand over your pup who is apart of your family with complete trust in someone you barely know. We had a bad experience prior to finding K9 Guide so we were a little skeptical at first. That is until we met Yana! She was so genuine, kind and informative! She explained the entire process and how it worked down to every detail! She made sure before she left the first meeting that all of our concerns and questions were put to rest and answered with complete confidence! She was constantly in contact with us and always keeping us updated on Drax’s progress through pictures, videos and emails! It truly felt like a family member was watching our pup (and training him)! Yana reassured us that whenever we wanted to contact her to do so at anytime and told us never to worry about bothering her! The day she brought Drax back to us she stayed and did a training session to make sure we felt comfortable with everything he was taught! We were a little nervous that we might not be able to remember everything but the way she guides you and sets it up with follow up sessions makes it easy to continue with the tools she provides! We are currently doing follow ups and eventually will be graduating to her Alumini classes! I honestly would recommend K9 Guide Dog to anyone with any bread of dog, any age and with any type of behavioral issues! Trust me it will change your life! We have an Aussiedoodle who is high energy, used to jump all over everyone, barked at everything, pulled us on the leash and really just wouldn’t listen! He is honestly the best mannered dog ever now! Still has the same sweet silly personality but she fixed every single issue that we had! We couldn’t be more pleased with the results and we can’t thank K9 Guide Dog enough for the tremendous dedication and genuine love shown working with us and our pup to this day!

Not only is Yana an excellent dog trainer who treats every dog that comes to her like her own, she also has the greatest ability to teach you what you need to know without tearing you down for what you don’t. I spent many hours discussing training and methods with this trainer, their vast knowledge and fairness to dogs is what sets them apart from anyone else I have spent time around. Each dog is given training tailored for them, and there is no cookie cutter, one size fits all for any dog, and that takes hard work and dedication. She only uses the best equipment possible, and you KNOW your dog will be safe with any tools through K9 Guide. I 100% recommend this trainer to anyone in the area, and hope you can experience this trainer in action

I have known Yana for almost 3 years now and consider her a dear friend. When I decided to do a board and train program for my 2.5 year old Beauceron, I knew I would send him to K9 Guide. I made the drive from Texas to drop him off and repeated the trip back for pickup. Orbit is a brilliant dog, and wanted to be a good boy, but did not know how to have a calm state of mind and relax in the home. He also got away with some naughty crate guarding behaviors that needed to be worked through. Orbit has been home for a week now, and he is like a brand new and improved dog, but he is still himself, he didn't become a shell of a dog who just shut down and complied. I love that he is still my same dog, but we are able to live a life like never before. I can have him calmly on place while I study or do housework. He will heel off leash with me and ignore distractions in our environment. I know that he will always recall when asked. I have even incorporated his structure/routine to the other dogs in the house and our quality of life has drastically improved. You don't realize how bad it was until you have something better. There is also lifetime support along with the program. Anytime I have questions, need guidance, or even need a video call training session she makes herself available. If I had the funds, every single dog of mine would go to K9 Guide for training! Time to buy some lotto tickets...
