Next-Door K9 Solutions

Whiskey is a three year old coonhound who we found abandoned in a ditch, most likely a hunting dog. He had never been in a home. He did not know how to walk through an open door or walk on a leash. We struggled at home with behavior, getting into things, and destroying things just to name a few. On a whim, I stopped in to talk to Zach and told him about our situation. He assured me that with some consistent training, whiskey could turn these behaviors around! I was guarded, and cautiously optimistic We opted for the daily, 9 to 5 training for five weeks. Not only did Zack do an incredible job Training whiskey, he also trained our family. We have remained very consistent in what we have learned and have continued at home. Whiskey is truly a delightful puppy, easily walks on a leash and as long as we give him “project to work on,” he doesn't go looking for one! 😉 We highly recommend Zack and his team @Next Door K9.

We recently sent our 5-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd, Olly, to Zack at Next-Door K-9 Solutions for a 4-week board and train, and the transformation has been nothing short of amazing. Since moving to the area a few years ago, the constant stream of visiting friends, family, and unannounced doorbell rings had become a major source of stress. Olly’s anxiety and overreactions made it difficult to enjoy our new home, and walks around the neighborhood were becoming impossible due to his aggressive reactions to everyone we encountered. Zack was fantastic throughout the entire process. He kept us updated with weekly videos, which really put our minds at ease. We were initially concerned that we wouldn't be able to maintain the results once Olly came home, but Zack spent several hours with us during the hand-off. He walked us through every technique and tested all our specific areas of concern to ensure we felt confident. The results speak for themselves: Olly is actually listening to commands and is a much calmer dog. We can finally enjoy our home and our guests without the constant stress. Zack is incredibly knowledgeable, and we are so impressed with his ability to change our lives for the better. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for professional, effective training!

I contacted next dog training when I was at my wits ends with my pup. Just one session and Texas was finally walking without pulling! Zach was so committed to both my needs and my dog well being, agreed to meet us in public places to teach my dog how to walk, recall and behave around people. Now I can take him on trails or the beach off leash! I’d recommend 10/10 of you are looking for personalized one on one lessons that will not only transform your dog but how you feel towards your pup ☺️

100% recommend! I was at a breaking point with my dog and thought teaching her any kind of obedience was impossible. Today when we went to pick her up and go over all the training, I was fighting back tears! After she got her excitement out and Zack went over the commands and the process of her training, it didn't take long at all for my dad and I to catch on. Now that she's home she's much more relaxed and the greatest thing is that she no longer needs anxiety meds from the first day she arrived at the facility. It's obvious Dazy does miss her best friend, but this definitely won't be the last time she sees you. Thank you so much Zack! You truly improved all of our lives and I couldn't be more amazed and grateful!!! 🥹🐾
