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

A bit pricey, worth every penny. Matt, Britt, and the team are awesome.

We brought my fearful dog Willie there for a three week board and train program. Willie was exceptionally fear based and the team at K9 Instincts helped Willie come out of his shell some which was great to see. We got him back certainly better trained with a core baseline of commands that he listens to. Matt and Britt are not there to just rubber stamp your dog and send you on your way. They take the time to assure that they're giving you back your dog once they're happy with the progression. People need to realize that the use of an e-collar is there as a correction and to not hurt your dog. The dependence of the collar is the only issue I have with this form of training and why I thought about going with 4 stars rather than 5. Matt and Britt are exceptionally good at their job and I would strongly recommend giving them a visit.
