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 level of service, dedication & passion Matt & his team had for training our dog Gary, was unprecedented. I've been a dog-owner all my life & never have a had greater pleasure interacting with folks in this field as I have with K9 Instincts. Gary went into training a "pretty good dog" & came out of training a SUPER-DOG! We have the ability to walk & hike with him off leash without fear of him jumping on others whom we pass or get "too playful" with other dogs. He was 3 when we rescued him & had ZERO training but you would never think that now! He's become a part of our pack & we are eternally grateful to K9 Instincts for their help AND their continued support when we board him during times when we travel. We owe Gary's newfound happiness & freedom to these folks.

We had our dog with Matt and Britt for 3 weeks and the results were very good. I'd recommend them to anyone that wants to have their dog trained but not have the dog loose their personality. Great Job!

I have been boarding my dog here for about 8 years. Matt & the staff at K9 Instincts are really easy to work with and are terrific to my Rachel. I can't thank them enough for their care of her while I am away.
