FirstBarkThis was our second attempt on having our dog trained as another local training place we took him to, gave up 30 minutes into having him. Chris made the impossible with our German shepherd/wolf mix. He never gave up in the process and pulled through. Simba is a well behaved dog now and we couldn't be any more pleased with the process. Thank you Chris and your staff for helping us out.

Do you board aggressive dogs? He is an Australian Shepard and just gets nervous & scared.
We have an aggressive dog, they boarded him and he did great.

We do and our rate for boarding is $30 per night. We have private kennels and we can let him/her out alone. Thanks, Chris

do you use e collors
Hi Jennifer, yes we use e-collars, leash training, treat training, and verbal praise to teach the dogs boundaries and commands. My program is also based on the dogs having fun during training, while remaining focussed. Thanks for your question.

I'm unfamiliar, BUT I can tell you that Chris and Universityk9 does great. I did a 2week board and train first my blue heeler puppy who after moving was showing signs of aggression towards and older sickly dog, and was terrible at walking on and off leash. After working with Chris, it was almost like night and day. I highly recommend Universityk9.

When I walk into the 1 on 82nd off Johnson creek Blvd, and the 1 at cascade station they greet me by name and always ask how I'm doing I feel like walking into cheers!!!!

I just took my 2nd dog here and Chris worked his magic. Before, my dog would run off whenever I open the door and would not come when called. But now he listens incredibly well. Chris and his team worked with his off leash training and now I am able to walk my dog without the need of a leash and he would walk by my side. The prices here is very affordable. My 6 month old puppy did the 2 week boarding with K9 University. I would recommend this place for sure!

Our Aussie Doodle had so much energy and was resistant and dropping training. One of our housemates wanted to give the dog away because of so much nuisance barking. Two weeks at University K9 was almost magical. When we picked her up, Chris walked us thru the training and techniques, and she was so well behaved. When we got home, she tested some of the new training but immediately accepted the new boundaries. It was worth more than we spent to have a well behaved family member.

I have been with Chris for 8 years now and wouldn't go anywhere else. We use him for both training and temporary boarding. My 8 year old German Shepherd is an extremely aggressive dog and I bought him to protect our farm when we are gone. Chris trained him so that I would have absolute control of him and I certainly do. Rebbell is now perfect for what I got him for thanks to Chris. I just retrieved my 2nd dog from a training session (two weeks) with Chris. He is a one year old Great Pyrenees and has gone from a completely out of control puppy to a well mannered adult. He guards my horse and pigs but responds immediately to my commands. What a different, and now very useful, working dog he has become in only two weeks. I do use the two-dog Dogtra collars that Chris recommended and 8 years later my first one is as good as my second one. I have and will recommend University K9 to everybody I know. It is the best place I've found and I have 40 years of experience with large working dogs.
