FirstBarkI can’t recommend them enough. Kat has done a wonderful job taking my stubborn, know it all dog to one that doesn’t seem semi-feral anyone. Kat knows what she’s talking about and has a great way of dealing with dogs that are easily distracted.

We worked with Maxwell to help us with our aggressive rescue dog. He was very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. I would highly recommend tailshakers. The entire staff was wonderful.

We did their 3 week Board and Train for our very stubborn dog, Zero. Maxwell did an amazing job getting Zero to actually listen even when he doesn’t want to. I swear we got back an entirely different but still extremely cuddly, loving dog! We will definitely be going back for any training we may need for him or future dogs, grooming, boarding, daycare, etc. Also, Zero would poop on the floor inside whenever we’d go into a certain national pet store where we boarded and trained him. He absolutely loves going into K9 Tailshakers (probably as long as we don’t leave him for 3 weeks again lol).

K9 TAILSHAKERS IS AMAZING! We’re first time dog-owners and we couldn’t have made it this far without the support and services K9 Tailshakers offers. Our Maui just completed the day training program and we are still astonished by the results. Our once timid doodle, has gained so much confidence and obedience, thanks to trainers Kat and Paige. I love that this program not only trains our dogs but also the parents. We’re so grateful for K9 Tailshakers.

My dog Benny loves K9 Tailshakers! In the morning when he sees that I'm loading him in the car he already knows it's going to be a daycare day for him. I love how the staff knows the names of the dogs and I can totally see how much they enjoy being with them. I love how there's a calendar that showcases special days that you can add on such as a treat. Love this place! I'm so happy someone had recommended it!
