K9KEY

Have thought about this review for a while, but felt it was appropriate as it’s almost been one year since I had to put my dog down. Steve and the entire K9 Key staff are extremely unprofessional and liars. I sent my dog Zeus, a beautiful German shepherd, to be trained by Steve and the team hoping to have great results. Unfortunately that was not the case… Throughout the entire training process we were promised constant updates, videos, and even a visit to see Zeus. All of which were never provided and Steve constantly had an excuse or said more time was needed with my dog. Finally when I got my dog back, he seemed to be somewhat better trained but there were some weird behaviors he had developed while with Steve. I constantly would reach out asking for help as I would expect with the price I paid for the services I would have a resource to help guide me through the training process. Unfortunately Zeus bite in someone shortly after wrapping up his training with Steve, even after numerous attempts asking to get advice on how to handle the situation and get Zeus under control. I would warn any dog owner to avoid this business, and find someone else. Nothing that was promised when we decided to proceed was delivered and I ended up losing a dog I loved dearly. Steve you are not only a fraud but a liar as you constantly ignored our request for help and ensured us that this process would result in our dog being even better then he already was..

My wife and I were searching for an affordable trainer who genuinely loves dogs to train our dog, Homer. After contacting several places to find the right fit for Homer, Steve from K9KEY was the perfect match. He took care of Homer for 4.5 weeks, and he returned as a transformed dog. I can now walk him with ease and use just one command to keep Homer in check. I would definitely recommend K9KEY to anyone looking for a reliable place to train their dog. It was a great experience, and after training, you can board your dog with someone who understands your dog well. We recently had Steve watch him, and he mentioned that Homer was very well-behaved and calmer. I thanked Steve again for everything he did for Homer and our family.

Steve and K9Key changed our lives. We rescued a 6/7 month old GSD who we realized we could only walk after 11pm because she was THAT reactive to people and dogs. After 7 weeks with Steve, our girl came back unfazed by crowds and was able to walk past dogs at a distance. She had been given rules and structure that allowed her to feel more confident and safe. We continue to take our dog to the free Saturday classes and the whole family (human and canine) improves with each visit. Now, dogs are even less of an issue! Our dog is showing less fear and greater curiosity. Had we not sent her to K9Key, I don't know what we would have done. Put your trust in them and it will pay off ten-fold.

Steve and the K9Key team did a wonderful job with my girl, Skai. We had probably the opposite issue than most dog owners where she is almost too friendly and would get overly excited with people. She would have a very hard time calming down and regulating herself when we had company. With working from home, she would always cry while I was on a call or meeting which made things difficult for the both of us. Skai stayed with Steve for over 8 weeks and she has made so much progress! One thing I was worried about was that she would loose her happy personality but she is the same happy girl she just listens to commands so much better. We can now have company over without an issue. I can now work with her laying beside my desk or in the other room without her crying. The weekly classes that you are able to go to for free after training is great for both owner and your dog. Steve and his team are so caring and really show you how to have a better relationship with your dog and make both of your lives easier. I have tried numerous trainers in the past and would have saved so much time and money if we found Steve sooner. If you have been trying to find a GREAT trainer who cares, please go with K9Key. Thank you so much Steve and team for all you do!!

I found Steve on google, and arranged for my 5 month old boxer to go to his program. She was young and very wild, we arranged for his 4 week crate and train program, my rambunctious pup took an extra 4 weeks for her training, there was no additional cost to me. He got her on a food that was great for her stomach. She learned many basic commands. He also offers lifetime weekly group trainings, that we have not been able to take advantage of yet but will in the future. She is night and day from when we sent her. Well worth it.
