What people have asked about this business.

I have a 22 month old rottie that needs to be trained she is starting to grawl at people and wants to bite them this has just started about a week ago

Hi , initially I start with a consult with each dog at my facility to meet the dog in person so we can customize a training program accordingly, give us a call at the facility to set that up. Thanks Matt 401.640.0626

The trainers are professional caring people and they did an excellent job with our pups Cash and Morgan. We had our previous dogs we owned trained over 13 years ago and this organization has not missed a beat. They are excellent people and we highly recommend them. If you love your dog and want them to learn proper behavior and Safety skills send them to Brittany Emilie and Matt they will teach the skills and make you pup a wonderful companion.

K-9 Instincts is wonderful. They trained our lab (and us) and helped us to navigate some challenging behavioral issues with ease and confidence. They have also been our boarding facility for many years and their staff is amazing!

All of my dogs were trained at K9 Instincts, and the experience has been consistently excellent. They do a fantastic job preparing dogs to thrive in a busy home with kids and everyday chaos, and they approach every dog with compassion.

Dear Canine Instincts Team, I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible transformation in my ​6​-1/2 yr old dog, Pepe. Before enrolling him in your boarding and training program, his severe behavioral issues—including fear-based aggression, resource guarding, extreme leash pulling, and separation anxiety—had progressed to the point where I was considering rehoming him. After just four weeks in your program, Pepe is like a new dog. He is still the sweet, affectionate, and lively companion I love, but he is now manageable, responsive to obedience prompts, and much happier. Your team successfully conditioned him to use a crate, corrected his resource guarding, and gave me the tools and consistency needed to maintain his training at home. The structure and boundaries you instilled have completely changed our lives, allowing us to walk peacefully and live without constant worry. I cannot recommend Canine Instincts highly enough. The entire team's expertise, patience, and outstanding follow-up support made this program worth every single penny. Thank you again for everything you have done for Pepe and our family.
