Valor K9 Academy

Samantha is amazing! We had acquired two handicapped rescues, Banjo a nearly blind Doodle with severe anxiety/resource guarding issues and Auggie a deaf/sight impaired Corgi who was socially disconnected and overreactive to touch. They were creating chaos in our house. Samantha did an in home assessment and recommended board and train for both dogs. We were honestly skeptical about how much could be done with either dog but all other options had been exhausted. What Samantha accomplished is nothing short of miraculous. Our dogs came home Happy, Confident, Responsive to commands and Well Mannered. She kept us informed of the training and progress with emails, texts and photos/videos. She provided us with exercises and routines for the dogs that works with our personal schedules. Most importantly, she has worked with us to maintain the boundaries and control she has established with Banjo and Auggie. We can’t thank Sam and ValorK9 enough for returning the peace to our house.

Hands down this is the place to send your dog for training. We adopted a black lab mix from the shelter. We enrolled him in a board and train with Samantha to strengthen his obedience and to work through some reactivity issues. I now receive compliments from strangers saying "What a good dog" and "I wish my dog would do that." I am so thankful to be able to take my dog out in public without having to worry about his behavior. I would 10/10 recommend Valor K9.

We had our French bulldog puppy train for a month at Valor K9 for a board and train with Taya, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with how much he progressed. In addition to helping rid him of some minor aggression issues, he also learned many other commands that have helped him become such a well behaved dog. As first time dog owners, we also learned so much from Taya about how to reinforce what he had learned. She made it so easy for us to understand how to make sure we were doing things correctly, and gave us insight into his behavior that has helped us be able to solve issues on our own as well. We would recommend Valor K9 to anyone looking for dog training.
