Adam did such a great job training my Havanese Casey. She hated the leash and wouldn’t follow commands. I highly recommend his training for all issues. We also plan to board her when needed.

I can't say enough, Katz K9 did such a great job with Ricky with 6 week training. We got our pup when he was 4 months old, and we did some training with him. Now he's 8 months old and does so well in public, especially around other dogs and people. Knows to go in the kennel, all basic commands, and more. For a Rottweiler, he's doing a great job, and thanks to Katz K9. He's such a great family dog. Thank you Adam and Carly

We have been training our 9 mo Dutch Shepard Rip with Adam and Carly for 3 months doing bite work and a four week board and train and the results are incredible. Adam has extensive knowledge of working dogs and a clear passion for working with families to understand their dog’s behaviors. Carly has been wonderful at managing training our training schedule and took an active role in ensuring we stayed informed while Rip was in his board and train. The proof in their practice is how confident Rip has become in his daily interactions. Rip is genuinely overjoyed to return to Katz to work each session. To me, this proves that both Adam and Carly work tirelessly to ensure the growth of every dog they work with without suppressing your dog’s natural personality. Look no further if you are on the fence about a trainer or training in general.

I cannot recommend Adam and Carly at Katz K9 enough. They have been an absolutely invaluable resource for both me and my dog, Zelda. Adam is truly the reason I was even able to bring Zelda home, and his continued support and mentorship have played a huge role in our journey into PSA bite sports. As a first-time sport dog handler and first-time Malinois owner, I had a lot to learn—and the knowledge, guidance, and patience I’ve received from Katz K9 have directly shaped the team Zelda and I are today. Adam is incredibly thoughtful and thorough in his training approach. He takes the time to explain the “why” behind everything, and he genuinely listens to feedback, making the training process collaborative and effective. Carly has also been such an important part of our progress, especially when it comes to obedience. Her attention to detail and ability to break things down in a clear, approachable way has made a huge difference in our foundation and overall performance. I feel incredibly lucky to be working with both of them. If you’re serious about training and want people who are truly invested in your success, Katz K9 is the place to go.
