Very impressed with their care and training of our pup Tilly. They took her in at 4 months. We got a daily report card with videos (MWF) and pics (TR) on her progress and even concerns. They gave us the tools to help with Tilly’s puppy behaviors. I do like how they took her on field trips to also help behaviors in public. Definitely this is something that the skills learned you have to do at home to keep consistency but love how we can text or call if we need help. We do get follow ups and I like how they are not just going to leave you hanging afterwards. We will definitely be back for the off leash training and this would be a place we will be comfortable to leave our pup if we ever need to board her in the future.

They were amazing to my sweet dog! Training a happy and hyper golden retriever is tough but the staff at K9Aholics did fantastic. We were sent updates and pictures everyday and given specific instructions upon pick up. Everyone was so kind and I felt pricing was great for how much we received.

After our Staffy bit our son we were at a loss and was going to surrender him. My husband found K9alcoholics and they worked wonders with our dog. The money we spent was well worth our peace of mind and to know they are woth us for the life of our Blue is amazing and gives us so much peace. They referred us to dog walkers who know what their expectations are. 5 stars is not enough for this place. I love this place so much!!!!!!!
