We came to k-9 Shrink a month ago with our 74lb large, rambunctious puppy who was out of control and only wanted to do what he wanted to do and not listen to any direction. Jumped all over everyone and our grandkids making visiting unpleasant. He also would bolt out of the door when trying to go on walks which we’re just him pulling us around.
We feel blessed to have found k-9 shrink, Gail has helped us with our most urgent issues and we have seen such a difference in our pup and are so happy with the results! We can now easily walk through the doors with him, he listens to our commands of come, sit, heal and so much more. The biggest thing is that our family and friends can come over without having to fight him off and visits are so pleasant as he sits there when they walk in and waits patiently to be released and then join the family. We thank Gail from the bottom of our hearts and the training is worth every penny spent. Thank you for all your help in us having an enjoyable, obedient pup that can now be a fun part of family, this is exactly what we wanted out of our precious fury family member!

I used the K9 shrink when we got our American bulldog puppy. I'm so glad I did. He turned out to be bigger than expected at 130lbs. And he is the best dog ever!!! Thanks Gail.

Taking lessons with Gail has been a life changer for us and our 2 year old rescue German Shepherd, Greta! She went from being aggresive towards all other animals on our farm to having manners and listening to commands. With good training at K9 Shrink, patience, and consistency we now have a wonderful and confident dog that we can enjoy instead of always being on edge. I would definitely recommend K9 Shrink!

Gail was professional and understanding to over loving dog owners like us! We have learned so much and are grateful for the knowledge and instructions enabling us to be much dog parents.
We felt that our private lessons and group lessons were both very beneficial! Thank you so much Gail.

We got a great education with Gail and her team at K9 Shrink Dog Training. There were 8 dogs in our class which was a nice size because one of 3 ladies were available during the exercises to provide extra help when needed. We learned how to get our 9 month old pup to pay attention to us and perform a variety of commands that will make all of our lives more enjoyable when at home or in public. Some of our issues prior to class were jumping on people, nipping our guests to get attention and pulling on walks. I watched a lot of youtube videos and tried to correct these problems on my own but it wasn't until we went to Gail's class that we really felt we had the tools to be successful. We are very grateful!
