MK9 Dog Training & Boarding

Positive Energy, and their whole team, are great at what they do! Frankie, our German Shephard puppy, started in late July at PE at about 3 months old. His mom (me - age not to be disclosed) started at the same time. Both of us were clueless. Frankie through no fault of his own, he's a puppy. Frankie was scared of everything and reacted to everything. The staff used to say "here comes Frankie" before we even got into the facility because he'd bark his head off as soon as he hopped out of the car. We started with Saturday puppy socials. By the end of the 1st hour of the 1st social I could see that Frankie had made progress with Marwa's calm, consistent and firm hand. So we quickly started in on structured training/day care. Within weeks, the progress that Frankie made was amazing! It wasn't long before Frankie stopped barking on arrival at PE, but instead was jumping in excitement. And, Mom has made progress too. I can't say enough good about our experience at PE. Take your dog there. You won't be disappointed!

Four months ago our family added a lovable Newfoundland puppy to the crew, Foley. We knew immediately that Foley was a sweetie but we also knew that we needed help training him before he got huge! So off to Positive Energy we went. Marwa, Jeff, Jose, and Isabelle have all been incredible with Foley. In about three months, he went from knowing zero commands to being a pro at a whole repertoire of them (sit, down, place, stay, wait, crate, out, leave it, break, etc.—he has them all down!). His impulse control is so much better (no longer trying to run out the door when people come and he leaves his cat brother alone) and he has not had any moments of Newfie stubbornness in months (trust me, getting an 80 pound dog that does not want to move to do what you want is impossible). Jeff and Marwa both came to give us private training with Foley. Even after just one session, he was a different pup. He knew more from his structured daycare than we ever expected—it was his humans that needed the training. Now he no longer tries to greet everyone and every dog he sees while we are walking and instead understands that we are working when out for walks (he checks in with us instead of focusing only on everything else). Foley also comes home exhausted from his school days (a tired puppy is a good puppy!) and he clearly adores his trainers. And he loves all of his puppy buddies. Because of Positive Energy, we have an amazing puppy who is quickly turning into an incredible canine citizen. I highly recommend Positive Energy!

I am so glad we found positive energy! My rescue pup was under socialized with other dogs and was struggling with reactivity. We purchased a private training package and Marwa & Jeff worked with us to truly help my girl overcome it. They brought their own dogs to help her practice, and then we moved on to lessons in busy areas where we knew dogs would be around. They also helped me train her with the e-collar which has been a game changer for us. Now we attend the group trainings every Sunday and my dog has improved so much that she is now able to go to their structured daycare to socialize freely with other dogs - something I thought might never be possible! I love Jeff & Marwa’s overall calm, understanding demeanor and know that they truly care about my dog and helping her improve. I can’t say enough good things! So thankful I found them :)

This place is great. I boarded my dog fir 2 wks and she learned s lot. She does very well with leash and crate training. A big help to marwa. You are a ROCK STAR!!! I strongly recommend them. I had a dog trainer that was very abusive. Snap thd leash and had me tug on her leash when she did not list e n. I wanted to stress that this is the best training schools I ever took my dog too. The trainers are wonderful and. Bubbles loves them too.
