My 10 month old Australian Labradoodle just completed a three week day training program with DJ and is now a DREAM dog! Prior problems had been his walking which was very unpleasant due to pulling and reacting to distractions. After three weeks with DJ he walks beautifully and now we enjoy much longer and more frequent walks. I could not be more pleased with the methods and the results. Highly, highly recommended. You will thank yourself for doing this for yourself and your dog.

Our dog 7 year old dog Ridley completed a 3 week board and stay training. She has returned as the well behaved dog we always wished we had. We can not say enough nice things about DJ, and Sam et.al. With their help, we finally speak “dog” and we keep getting compliments about how well behaved Ridley is on our daily walks in St. Petersburg. Thank you!

Our goofy Brady 🐾 just completed the on leash training program at STK9 Training Company. I can not say enough wonderful things about them. He had a blast and returned so well behaved and well mannered. It’s up to us to keep it going but DJ and the rest of the amazing staff laid a great foundation for us. I highly recommend them!

Wow what an experience! Since the moment of contacting STK9 they have gone above and beyond! I reached out to inquire about training for my 7mo old Doberman, Ragnar, and spoke with the owner Samantha who was extremely kind and informative. I have never done something like this before so she went into extreme detail for me and made me feel comfortable with everything.
After 3 weeks we got our boy back and are extremely pleased with the results of his training! DJ was his trainer for the 3 week period and she would send email updates about 1-2xweek giving us updates on our little boy, his trainings, and how well he was getting along with the other students and faculty.
DJ taught us all the verbal commands, hand signals, and corrections for us to continue with his training at home.
Thank you STK9 again for the amazing experience and for helping us give Ragnar the skills to be the goodest boy.
