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

I recently had the pleasure of using K9 Instincts for dog boarding and training services, and I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with their professionalism and expertise. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of dog behavior and training techniques. When I dropped off my dog, I felt confident that he was in capable hands. The staff at K9 Instincts showed genuine care and concern for my dog's well-being, and they took the time to understand his individual needs and behaviors. During the boarding and training period, I received regular updates on my dog's progress, which kept me reassured and informed about his development. When I finally picked him up, I was delighted to see the positive changes in his behavior. He was more obedient and well-behaved, which was a testament to the quality of training he received. I truly appreciate the dedication and professionalism exhibited by the team at K9 Instincts. They are clearly knowledgeable about dog training, and their expertise shines through in the results they achieve. I can confidently recommend K9 Instincts to anyone seeking boarding and training services for their beloved pets. My experience with K9 Instincts has been exceptional, and I will undoubtedly entrust them with my dog's care in the future. Thank you for providing a safe and nurturing environment for Gizmo!

We have a 1.5 year old lad mix. Gus originally went for the board and stay program at 14 months. He was there for four weeks. We originally brought Gus to Brit and Matt with some Leash reactive behaviors, along with high anxiety when separated from us. They worked on crate training, E collar training, and overall confidence building. It has been a game changer for our family and Gus, he is very happy to go back there when we need him to be boarded. When Gus is there for boarding, he comes back with his skills sharpened. Your dog will be in great hands with the k9 instincts staff.

I wish there was an option for more than 5 stars honestly. The team at K9 Instincts were so professional throughout the whole process. My dog Simon really struggled with separation anxiety and obedience, K9 Instincts pulled through with flying colors. Was the investment cheap? No. But in the long run it is worth it. I can honestly say when I get a second dog this will be the only trainer I will give my money too.
