Liberty K9

My standard poodle came home a completely different more enjoyable dog. She’s only 11 months old and now she acts like an adult. Dakota taught her manners. Self control and obedience. He took her places to teach socializing and outdoor manners. I am excited to say I am very happy with everything he did for both of us. Updated review: I am adding to my previous review, Dakota has turned both of my poodles into complete different girls. Miss Isabelle 7 months old was also a student in a board and train . She did very well. Dakota treats the dogs like his own. Both of my dogs are doing extremely well. He also is a great lifetime coach. Anytime I have a question he answers right away And has taught me so many techniques that have been very successful on both of my poodles. So, once again. Thank you Dakota. Carter and Isabelle appreciate your service. I recommend LibertyK-9 for all dog training needs. Give him a call. It’s the best thing you can do for your dog!!!!!

Dakota did the 8-day board & train with my young golden retriever, Niko, to learn the fundamentals and try to correct some annoying behaviors at home. In the months afterward, Niko has been much easier to handle, still performs his commands well, and I feel like I have a great foundation to build from (half of training is training the owner!). I appreciated the updates throughout the week as well. My dog really seemed to enjoy being with Dakota and working with him. The facility was spotless and I would absolutely recommend him for high quality training!

I cannot say enough great things about Dakota and the incredible work he's done with my dog, Sammy! Sammy is a 2 1/2-year-old rescue I adopted from the pound, and to say he's stubborn would be an understatement. From day one, it was obvious that I was going to need some help—and Dakota was exactly the right person for the job. From the first time I met him, I could tell Dakota genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. He was patient, consistent, and always kind. Dakota took the time to understand Sammy's personality and needs, and he made sure training was effective but also positive and enjoyable for Sammy. The transformation in Sammy has been amazing. He's more focused, listens better, but still has his energetic and fun personality. If you're looking for someone who’s not only skilled but truly passionate about what they do, I highly recommend Dakota! I can’t thank him enough for everything he has done for Sammy and I!

You can stop reading reviews now—you've found your dog trainer! I came to Dakota for his private lessons and have been absolutely blown away by his knowledge and training. He was able to take my stubborn, disobedient 3-year-old Pitbull and turn her into the dog I knew she could be. I opted for private lessons because I realized I needed as much training as my dog. Dakota ensured that not only did my dog understand the lessons, but that I did as well. This left me feeling much more confident in my own abilities, which carried over to my dog. The facility is brand new and was absolutely spotless for every lesson. My vet (VCA Beavercreek) was especially thrilled to hear that Dakota required a stool sample prior to training to ensure that his facility stays free of any potential hazards. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend going with Liberty K9. It has hands down been the BEST investment I've made in my dog and my own wellbeing.
