National K-9 Learning Center

Great experience with this company. They provided a strong foundation for my dog training business. Highly recommend. It is a year and half since I graduated from their 3 week program . I had to put a lot into my dogs post graduation, and lot of work into myself. But, t the foundation I received there has helped me launch. Training dogs and running Canine Good Citizen groups are my niche. Thank you for a great foundation. I hope to return someday for the second half. This is not an easy path, and it is very much worthwhile

Never in my life have I recommended a company so proudly, I'm at a loss of words when it comes to the customer service and dedication of this company. My dog had a lot of issues when we adopted him (social anxiety, crate fear, fear of other animals, would chase our cat, wouldn't listen to us, pulled on the leash) I was udderly shocked when I picked my dog up after the the 15 days they kept him (they gave me an extra week on the house because he wasn't up to par after two weeks). He listened perfectly, cuddles with our cat now, is trained off leash now ect. I am say to say things took a turn for the worse after 1 week with him, he stopped listening, starting giving us attitude, hated his cage. He slowly got better and better until yesterday when he took a huge left turn and threw the training out the window. He ripped out of his impact crate (800 dollar aluminum crate) and caused hundreds of dollars worth of damage to my apartment, it became very apperant that his separation anxiety came back and it came back with a vengeance. I called Lauren (our lovely trainer who is very personable, kind and caring to the animals, and is like a dog whisperer), she informed me that we would have to look into further training (great more money to spend right!?), I was worried I would have to pay more, but she informed me that if they had to take him back in it would be no cost me, what company do you know of has Ever sacraficed 1000 dollars worth of services to make sure the customer is happy and not to lose a customer? Not many. They trained me and my girlfriend on how to work with my dog Caine. They showed me EVERY technique they used on him, and even I, being an animal lover and being very sensitive to abuse of animals, would say that the training methods they use are far from abuse. They use positive reinforce, along side training collars. My dog loves working with use even when training because of the affection included with this training methods, so to any of the idiots that have left reviews on here claiming they abuse animals, maybe you should look into it a bit further and not jump the gun. Tldr:This company is fantastic and will work with you in any way possible to make you happy, they care about your doggo and want nothing more than to see you and you're dog happy together, if you need a dog trained come here, hands down

I attended National K9 School for Dog Trainers in February 2019. I attended the 6 week Master Trainer Course and highly recommend this school if you are serious about becoming a dog trainer. It is an investment but the experience and education I obtained in a structured 6 week course was more than enough to jump start training dogs on my own. They make it very clear this is to start you off and you need to follow up education on your own and look into other resources afterwards as there's a million other things to dog training and running your own business. But this course and the materials is worth the money to begin your new career.
