Signature K9 Training Academy

What an amazing experience we had! What can I say about Daniel to capture his awesomeness? He really is a (DOG)tor! We have two fur babies; A beagle mix and a Dalmatian/pit mix. They got into two fights that left them both with injuries. One of our babies bit my fiancée, twice, and we were at the verge of surrendering her or giving her to someone who could take care of her. The previous thoughts were mainly out of frustration as our house was chaotic. The dogs couldn’t even look at each other as they would lounge, bark, growl, and go berserk. We were so stressed and knew we had to do something. We knew it was our faults; like they say, blame the owner not the dog. That’s is exactly what we did. We had previously wanted to train our dogs, but I was hesitant as the beagle mix was in a terrible accident and lost her back leg. We started looking at trainers online and picked one out just based on reviews. We came across Signature K-9 training and immediately knew this was going to be the place. I was still hesitant on doing a board and train program as there are many negative things on the internet about these programs. What put me at ease was that there was nothing negative to say about this place and the consultation with Daniel and Kevin. During the consultation, there was an immediate difference already. Daniel spoke to us more about the process and gave us advice on what to do/how to handle the girls. Daniel also gives you 1-1 lessons every week to teach you how to communicate with your dog so it listens/trusts you. What I absolutely loved was that you get to take them home on weekends and observe the gradual changes in your dogs, as well as practice doing the things they have learned over the week at your own home. Daniel is not only patient with your dog, but also patient with the owners. I asked him all kinds of questions and he would answer them and provide demonstrations when I couldn’t understand him (I’m a visual learner). We did a 6-week program for one dog and a 4-week program for the other. They took good care of both of my girls. They were fair with my tripod as they listened to all her limitations. They didn’t treat her like she was incapable of doing things, which is what I didn’t want. I wanted someone to know that even though she had three legs, she is extremely strong and capable of doing most stuff but with minor adjustments. Kevin was always helpful and listened to my concerns at every drop off. He was professional and kind. My dogs would get super excited to see him, which was a good sign for me. Well, they would get super excited and happy too, to see Daniel. Daniel truly knows how to read a dogs body language and is a great teacher to the dogs and their owners. He is a veteran and has such a calming demeanor that dogs love. He is an amazing human and is very easy to talk to and understanding. Our girls are still learning how to interact with each other but we have peace at our home again. This place truly delivered results and was not a waste of our/time and money. If you decide to take your dog here based on my review, tell him I sent you ;).

Back in December, a stray dog arrived at our home. We allowed him in and tried our best to live with him, but he was impossible! No manners, jumping on the wife, just ill behaved in every way. Probably had lived on the streets all his life. While looking for a solution short of putting him down, I found Daniel at Signature K9. After meeting Daniel, we knew he was the man for the job. Daniel began working with Walter, and in my mind, actually performed magic. Walter is now living with us, as a large, well behaved indoor dog. We can't thank Daniel enough. This dog really needed a chance, and Daniel gave it to him. We are so happy that we made the decision to let K9 turn Walter's life around. It's like night and day. Thank you K9!!

If 10 stars were an option I would definitely give these guys a 10 out of 10!!! I took my 4 month old Belgian Malinois Reyna to Daniel @ Signature K9. From our first meeting to graduation day was a great experience! Daniel and his assistant are very knowledgeable about all aspects of dog training, and genuinely care about what is best for your dog. Reyna was in the 4 week board and train, as a puppy I was unsure what to expect,very impressed with the turnaround we saw in Reyna. After 4 short weeks we have completely different dog- she is amazing! I am very thankful for the care and time they put into Reyna, I highly recommend Signature K-9 Training Academy.
