Vital K9 Training & Boarding

My dog and I had an INCREDIBLE experience using Vital K9. I adopted a 5 year old lab (Lavender) from the shelter with the typical lab attitude - super happy and excitable, and not many manners. I had never personally had a dog that was such high energy. I did a board & train with Abigail. She sent me consistent updates and made sure I was very involved in the whole process. We've done a follow up lesson since then as well and I have seen so much improvement in Lavender! We trust each other much more, and I am now able to take her on adventures with me without worrying about her getting too hyper to control. Vital K9 has my business for life, and I will recommend them to anyone who asks.

Abigail is a phenomenal human being and one of the few people I would have trusted to take my dog. Our dog is a member of our family and we care about her the maximum amount a person can. That being said, the decision to send her away for training was not taken lightly. We spent months looking and ultimately chose Abigail because of the way she talked and treated the dogs in her care. She is someone who puts love and intention to the dogs in her care. She went for the three week board and train with VitalK9. We got almost daily updates, frequent pictures, and questions on things that would help her in tailoring her training. Our dog is only 6 months old so we weren’t expecting the world as she is just a puppy but we were pleasantly surprised how much our pup had learned. Training is fun for our dog and the foundation from the time with Abigail is being built on each and every day. In summary, if you want a trainer who you would be comfortable entrusting a family member to - I’d recommend Abigail.

We have been super excited to get Ollie (2 year old mini dachshund) and Scarlett (7 month old chocolate lab) back from 5 weeks of training with Abigail at Vital_K9. They are absolutely doing incredible! They come when we call them, know to stay down and when they forget, they understand and obey when we tell them no. I have no idea how Abigail taught them so much in a short time, but it has literally changed how they behave and interact with our family. We highly recommend Vital_K9 and if you have two pups, it’s well worth it to send them both at the same time. They learn the same things and come home on the same page with what is expected of them. Abigail tailored the training to each dog’s personality, as well as our goals. She has also been super helpful with answering ongoing questions that we have, so we can make sure we’re not confusing them. I cannot recommend Vital_K9 enough! Looking forward to follow up lessons with us (Ollie and Scarlett’s peeps) so we can take full advantage of this amazing training we invested in!
