We took our one and a half year old German Shepard mix, Luna, to Performance K9 shortly after we adopted her. From our initial phone call with Kayla to meeting the trainer, David, the entire experience was enjoyable. While our dog was there for the two weeks we received photo updates of her progress and a video of what she had learned the day before we picked her up. In just two short weeks they taught our dog all of the necessary commands and manners for her to be able to live her best life and it also greatly reduced the stress in the home and on walks of having a dog not listen. Getting your dog trained here is definitely worth every penny.

If I could give them 10 gold stars, I would!! Incredible results and valuable communication. Whatever issue you're having with your dog, David will give you an informative consultation that'll allow you to choose what's best for you and your pup. For some, the cost may seem high at first, but when you look at the ROI on the training and guidance they provide, trust me when I say it's worth every penny. Atlas is new to our household, and my boys recently started getting into some pretty big and violent scuffles. I knew I needed help. I contacted Performance K9 Training as they helped me train Apollo 4yrs ago and did a great job. David did our consultation and recommended Atlas do Basic Obedience 2 wk board and train program, and Apollo have several follow-up lessons as well, since I was slacking on holding him accountable. We are doing ongoing training, using their tools, and remaining consistent. It's only been a couple of weeks, but let me tell you, it has been a HUGE game changer. No more battles of the biggest and baddest in my house. Whew!! I am so grateful for Performance K9 Training and look forward to continuing to learn more skills from them so I can have a happy and healthy relationship with my boys.

I came here last year and it was great! My dogs were happy here. They were trained. I have been trying to correct them when we go on walks. One of my dogs is perfect. The other one I do correct with the collar but I know I have to keep at it. David is great. It is about the dog parent continuing the work he did. Hope to have them board soon while we go on vacation. I feel like I can only trust David and his team.

Performance K9 trained our dog last year, what a night and day difference :-) we are so pleased, we went back yesterday not so much for training or extra training it was more for questions, Natalie (our trainer) answered all of them and even gave me a couple little tips for the future, I've always said "that this training was for me as much as the dog" this being my first dog. These guys are worth every penny!

I don't know where to start. But it's been hell. Please READ! I took my two dogs here in hopes in getting them trained so they did a 3 week boarding training program that costed a fortune, and when I got them back yes they were behaved because of the shocking collard. But 3 days later one of them started showing some coughing symptoms that didn't get any better it only got worse and worse I obviously took him to the vet and they said it was kennel cough so they prescribed him antibiotics. A long cycle like 10 days. And the symptoms didn't go away until like 5 weeks I has a coughing beautiful poor dog suffering the poor fella he was very much suffering and coughing specially in the mornings! And as soon as his cough started to subside at about week 5 my second dog started to show symptoms so now guess what!? Another 6+ ( still ongoing) WEEKS of suffering and I MEAN IT! because you have to watch and hear your beautiful dog who just came back from training and who is well behaved SUFFER and it's very very sad and tiring. So here is the thing!! My first dog got better and got cured. BUT my second one is STILL SICK GUYS!!!!! IT'S BEEN OVER 3 MONTHS SINCE HE GOT SICK!! So he got really worse to the point that one day he fainted!!!!!!! collapsed on my feet!!!!!! So I rushed him to the ER ($1.500) and got him x-rays and checked up and he is showing all his vitals OK but its weird because he is extremely sick right!?? So then the doctors calls me and says he has a mild case of PNEUMONIA and prescribed him like 2 weeks of antibiotics AGAIN and guess what? He finished his cycle and STILL IS COUGHING!!! So at this point I don't know what's going to happen but I am really worried and scared. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG HERE UNLESS HE HAS KENNEL COUGH SHOTS AND YOU ARE WILLING TO GO THROUGH THIS HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! BE AWARE! IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO THINK ABOUT WRITING THIS BECAUSE I DID LIKE THE FACILITY AND DAVID BUT AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL OTHER DOGS I JUST HAS TO WRITE THIS. NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE. RUINED MY SUMMER TO SAY THE LEAST.
