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

Absolutely transformation for Gus our Great Dane !!!! We can not believe it is the same meathead that we dropped off for training . We now have the confidence in Gus to the point that he now has complete run of the house All the people from K9 Instincts are true professionals and treated us with respect and love for our Gus !!!

What they all did to make my Nico become a well trained much more enjoyable dog is unbelievable. They are all such professionals. From the dog barking when someone walks into the door or beating me out the doorway, taking me for a walk and hold tite if he saw another dog. ALL those behaviors are gone. I have control of him and any situations whether walking on leash and seeing dogs I have total control. K9-Instincts is the real deal!!!! My wife and I thank you all. Scott and Laura Sherratt

We had an amazing experience with K9 Instincts and their board and train program for our dog, River. Before training, River was full of energy but very difficult to manage. He was often too rough with our kids, didn’t listen well, and we found ourselves needing to crate him more than we wanted just to keep things under control. It was frustrating because we knew he had a great personality—we just couldn’t fully enjoy it. After completing the program, the transformation has been incredible. River is now extremely obedient while still being the same lovable, fun dog we’ve always known. The biggest change for us is that he can now be out with the family full time. He listens, he’s calm when he needs to be, and he knows how to control himself in situations where he used to get overly excited. What really means the most is how this has impacted our kids. They can now walk him, play with him, and truly enjoy having a dog without us worrying about things getting out of hand. River finally feels like a full part of our family, and that’s something we weren’t sure we’d ever get to this level. We’re beyond grateful to K9 Instincts for helping us bring out the best in him while still keeping everything that makes River… River. Highly recommend to anyone who feels like their dog has tons of potential but just needs the right guidance.
