The K9 Approach

Transformational experience! Megan at The K9 Approach worked wonders with my German Shepherd, Aspen. After a two-week board-and-train at her home, Aspen is a different dog—responsive, calm, and confident. She understands what I’m asking and reliably follows through, which means we can now enjoy restaurants together, go off-leash at the beach, and say yes to so many more adventures. Megan’s home provided the perfect mix of structure and fun—clear expectations, lots of love, and healthy socialization with other dogs. She communicated consistently, sending daily photos and videos so I felt connected to Aspen’s progress the whole time. Equally valuable, Megan trained me too, with follow-up sessions in a home setting and in public so I knew exactly how to maintain the results. Pricing was also more affordable than competitors, and she and her business partner, Jillian, offer additional services (overnight boarding, private training, etc.), which gives me peace of mind for the future. All in all, 10/10. I’m so grateful we did this—highly recommend Megan and The K9 Approach!

I entrusted my two beloved dogs, Linc (a large German Shepherd) and Coco (a little Chihuahua mix), to Jillian during our 10-day family vacation. Linc, who doesn’t quite grasp his own size or the concept of personal space, and Coco, who’s wary of strangers, couldn’t have been in better hands. Jillian’s care was exceptional. She sent regular text updates complete with adorable pictures, putting my mind at ease while I was away. Her patience with both dogs was remarkable, and it’s clear she has a genuine gift for working with animals. I highly recommend The K9 Approach, especially if you want your furry companions to receive top-notch care and attention. 🐾

Hands down the best money ever spent! I rescued a dog that was very reactive and I couldn’t take her for walks because she would act aggressively if she saw other dogs or some thing she wasn’t familiar with which made it really hard on us as a family. I did the three week board training and I feel like I have a brand new dog , I really appreciate the way Jillian loved our dog the way that we did and took the time to show us everything that she had learned and helped us get to a place where I can now walk my dog downtown past other dogs and take her out on family outings without her reacting in a negative way.

I actually met Jillian through my own business... she was looking for some artificial grass. However we got to talking about my pain in the butt dog and she was so nice to chat with me for 15-20mins about different tools I can use to help get my dog's energy down when we have visitors. She was so awesome to chat with. I can tell she has so much experience and knows her dogs very well. I will be using The K9 Approach in the future.
