About Unleashed K9 LLC

We offer Board & Trains, Private lessons, In-home lessons, Day Care, Day Training, Tracking, Detection & many other Speciality programs. Our Obedience B&T Program consist of 2 week basic, 3 week intermedie, 4 week advanced, and a 6 week Master Program. We have service dog programs with certified papers. When it comes to training, we believe that establishing communication for both the dog and owner is the key to success. We’ve developed a learning method based initially on positive reinforcement (food, toys and praise). At the appropriate stage of training, we use negative reinforcers to teach the dog consequences of unwanted behavior. In the end, it’s about creating a mutual understanding between dog and owner that will last a lifetime.

My experience with Unleashed K9 has been nothing but pleasant! I have always done a board and train with my dogs, this being my 4th one. In the past I have always used the large franchise companies for my dogs training, until I found Unleashed K9. My past 3 experiences at other companies were nowhere as good as the one with Unleashed. At Unleashed K9 I felt like I was handing my dog off to some very experienced trainers and people who truly cared for my dogs well being and not some young kid that just started in the industry. The training my dog received here was far superior to the other 3 training programs I sent my past dogs too. Kenneth was very easy to work with and got back to me promptly with any questions I had during my pups stay! I was also very impressed with the detailed itinerary and packet they sent me home with on how to transition my dog back to a normal schedule. The packet also included over 20 detailed commands my dog had learned and detailed e.collar instructions with what level my dog would need in different environments. Best of all, Kenneth spent 3 hours with me making sure I felt comfortable handling my dog with all its new behaviors and showed me how to continue its training! They approached the go home lesson with the attitude of training me and helping me have a better relationship with my pup! I dropped off a dog that had a lot of aggression issues and left with a dog that I can now walk in my neighborhood and even trust off leash! look no further than Unleashed K9! Our family will forever be grateful to Kenneth and his team! If only I knew about this place with the training of my other dog! Thanks Unleashed K9!

I can’t say enough good things about Unleashed K9!!!

I can’t say enough good things about Unleashed K9!!! My dog was a wild MESS before, now she’s a well trained, perfectly behaved dog….she follows commands, will sit in “place” when company comes over without jumping all over them. It’s AMAZING. Kenneth is a true pro & he loved my dog like his own. I felt so comfortable with my Josie being in his hands, esp bc I could see how much she trusted & respected him. Life is so much more peaceful since she completed his training!! Highly highly recommend🙌

We sent our dog to Unleashed K9 board and train facility for training on November 1st 2023 through November 22nd. When we picked her up, she was very underweight and had multiple sores and open wounds on her body. Specifically, two open wounds that our vet concluded were "r/o pressure sores vs other training sores" on her hind legs and also had some sores on her paws. Information related to her state and weight was withheld from us during her training and the trainer/owner Kenneth said she was " fine." The business committed to providing us training and care for our dog during the duration of her time. They also stated they would share updates every 2 to 3 days, which did not occur. We were only updated once a week. There was a lack of communication in general and we did reach out multiple times initially for updates. When we picked up our dog, Kenneth was absent from the facility. We indicated with staff that were shocked with the state of our dog's health and appearance. This brought tears to my wife's eyes, and the staff literally laughed at us. We asked that Kenneth call us for a resolution. Kenneth called us and argued that the dog was "fine" and that he would set up time to meet with us regarding the issue upon his return. Once he returned, he did not do so. We emailed stating that we had not heard from him and reiterated why we were upset. Kenneth then emailed back days later arguing and blaming us and our dog for her condition. This has been an overall terrible experience in which my dog appeared to suffer from neglect and trauma. We would have picked her up immediately if we knew the state she was in. I would not recommend anyone bring their dog to this facility if you care about the wellbeing of your dog. We contacted the local Police Department which relayed to us there have been multiple other reports of similar nature within the past year related to this kennel. Why there are no other reviews we are unsure, but hope to help other pet owners who are considering this kennel. The attached photos are pictures of our dog upon pickup at this kennel.

I needed to have my 6 year old German Shepherd trained to be able to fly commercially with me. Kenneth, the owner, met with me and my dog and said he could definitely train her. He’s a man of his word and did a fantastic job with her. I’m very happy I selected him, and I feel 100% confident that she’ll be awesome in the airport, going through security and flying.

I brought my 10 month old GSD (Luna) to Kenneth due to reactivity. Before the board and train I would avoid taking Luna places because it was so stressful. After 4 weeks with Kenneth and his team I now have the companion I was looking for. I can take her with me places and enjoy my time with her. After the board and train he also equipment me with the knowledge needed to maintain Luna's skills. I'd highly recommend Unleashed K9 to anyone that's looking for dog training.
