We did the 4 week day training for our boy, Hank & are so pleased with the growth he has made in just one month. Acacia, Lexi and Kat were so wonderful with him so I never worried about him being there all day with them. We wanted to work on leash pulling, reactiveness to other dogs & overall manners, especially when we have guests over. Walks with Hank now are significantly more enjoyable (for both of us) and everyone who has come over has noticed the shift in his behavior, for the better, I could not recommend K9aholics more!

I loved the daily report cards we got that showed us what our little guy was working on! I’m excited to see his progress and can already tell he’s listening better just a few hours after he’s home. I appreciate that they took the time to train us on keeping up with all his training. It’s a learning curve but worth it to keep up with.

Took my French Bulldog “Harrison”here for their two week board and train. They kept up with letting me know what was going on with him with pictures and videos. When we picked him up it was like a new dog. He listening so much better now and he is less reactive. I work him 10-15 minutes day now and he is still getting better and better. Highly recommend them for your dog training needs. Dog Tax included

I cannot say enough good things about K9aholics!
We enrolled two of our Great Dane puppies in their two-week board and train program. Unfortunately, one of our girls wasn’t able to complete her training because she needed emergency surgery after complications from swallowing toys before her board and train even started. I was out of the country when everything happened, and the K9aholics staff was absolutely incredible. They handled every emergency, kept me updated every step of the way, and went far beyond what anyone could have expected. One staff member even cared for my girl in her own home while she recovered—something that was never part of the program or her job. That level of compassion and dedication is something I’ll never forget, and I am so incredibly grateful.
Our Great Dane boy completed the program, and the transformation has been amazing. He came home with solid obedience skills including sit, down, place, extended place holds, and loose-leash walking. The training has given us a wonderful foundation, and it’s especially important with a Great Dane puppy because they grow into such large, powerful dogs. Having these skills established now will make such a difference as he matures.
Not only does K9aholics produce well-trained dogs, but they genuinely care about every dog in their program. Their professionalism, communication, and compassion exceeded every expectation. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a trainer who truly treats your dog like family.
