FirstBarkWe brought our Drako for a 2 week board and train and they did great with him. Haleigh did an amazing job with our dog. He’s much calmer and loved that they do report cards with video updates

I took my 10 month old German Shepherd Diesel to K9aholics and my experience was Great! The trainers are very knowledgeable and will answer any of your questions. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience with K9aholics! We used the 3 week board and train for our Great Dane/Great Pyrenees. I received a report card and video every few days and when my dog would not eat they came by my house and picked up food from me due to my busy schedule. They really care! They spent over an hour with us upon pickup going over everything. I was unable to take him on walks and he was very aggressive toward my other male dog. I am now able to walk him around the neighborhood and by other dogs with no care. I can place him and walk away and he stays. He still growls at my other dog, but I feel we are able to better handle him. I look forward to the follow up to make sure we are doing what we need to!

We were unsure how we could keep our dog with our family for her safety until we had our dog trained by the amazing dog trainers at K9Aholics! Our dog participated in the board and train program and has made a 180 in her negative behaviors and the stress level at our house has gone down markedly. We couldn’t be any happier with her training and the continued involvement in her obedience after her board and train stay. I would highly, highly recommend K9Aholics to anyone who is looking for caring and capable dog trainers in Hampton Roads!

K9Aholics is a is outstanding. I adopted a Pit Bull puppy (Azula) with lots of energy. They not only provided Azula with, they also provided me with the tools that I need to continue her training at home. My friends were a little standoffish prior to the training, but now they are more comfortable being around Azula. I really enjoyed the entire experience and will be taking Azula back for her second round of training once she is a little older.
