It has created a whole new level of respect in our relationship with our pup where he trusts us Amani K-9 are truly legitimate trainers. We enrolled our 15-month-old Dogo Argentino in their 8-week training program after adopting him from the Humane Society. He had been struggling with anxiety, recall, tantrums, and self-regulation. After just four weeks, during our parent training session, we noticed a remarkable difference in his temperament. He was able to manage his anxiety around other dogs and outside distractions, follow commands consistently, and walk calmly on a leash beside us--no more pulling or wandering aimlessly. This program has completely transformed our relationship with our pup. He now trusts us more deeply because not only did he learn how to regulate himself, but we also learned how to help him do so. He stays in place on his mat without following us around or begging for food--it's like having a completely different dog! We're so glad we chose Amani K-9. We feel more confident and connected in our relationship with our dog because we better understand him, and he knows exactly what we expect of him.

We are grateful for the patience, expertise, and care that Niquolette showed our 4-year old lab…read more She helped him work through his leash reactivity and anxiety, and also taught us. The dog we walk now is well behaved and emotionally regulated (no more whining, barking, or pulling on the leash when he sees another dog!!).

It was the best decision we made. Thank you Niquolette and Amani K9!

I first took my dog to Gina about 7 years ago for behavior modification when he was about a year…read moreold. Gina graciously helped us through my dog's reactive behaviors and taught me how to better understand him. My dog had Parvo as a puppy and unfortunately became very reactive towards people and other dogs afterwards. Gina is extremely knowledgeable and she was very kind and patient with me and my pup. She truly has a way with dogs and can tell you everything just from their body language. I have recommended her to friends and family, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality trainer in the area. I recently went out of town for 4 days and was so thankful to board my dog with Gina because I was confident he would be well taken care of which allowed me to enjoy my vacation.

She absolutely puts everything into ensuring your dog succeeds.

We were told about Puget Sound K9 Academy by one of my husband's clients. We set up an appointment…read morefor our dog, Bento (a 4 year-old GSD), and Jamie interviewed him. We thought Bento was an aggressive dog, but Jamie said he was just reactionary so he was willing to train him. We have been working with Jamie for over five months, and we love his teaching methods. He is very skilled and provides us (the humans) with individual instructions on how to improve our dog and our own reactions to him. We have been dedicated to getting Bento to be less reactive and he is doing much better. We have walked the mall three times; once with a group of his dogs and twice with just Jamie. Jamie has an excellent assistant instructor when he needs him to be available. We are now working on agility training, which our dog loves.

Secondly, when I told her my dog was very anxious and hated getting her nails done, Taylor wasn't even phased. She had me hold my pup and did everything so professionally and loving.

Definitely the best dog trainer I ever worked with and we have worked with many in this area. Very pleased and happy we made the purchase. We worked on basic obedience with our dog and he made great strides. The first session Porky wouldn't even sit. By the end of the 4th session our corgi can sit, come, lay down, heel and will lay on bed or wherever we point on command. He would give us homework to work on and we would practice with Porky at home between sessions. We are confident now Porky will retain these commands and is just much, much better trained after just 4 weeks. I highly recommend working with Michael for any type of dog you may have at any age. He is very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. You can ask him questions and he always had a good answer for us. He also is a nice guy overall. I will make referrals for him going forward and will also buy more sessions for our other Husky dog who could benefit from his training. Go see for yourself...you will not be disappointed I almost guarantee.

I can't say enough good things about K9 Timeless Training and Boarding! I took my 3-year-old…read morelabradoodle, Simba, to their 2-week board and train program with Jamal, and the difference is honestly night and day. Before training, Simba had zero structure -- he pulled hard on the leash, barked at everyone and everything, and even bit my 2-year-old daughter. He was always a house dog, and I'll admit I let him get away with a lot. But after that bite incident, I knew something had to change. From the very beginning, Jamal really took the time to understand our household and what we needed, especially with a toddler in the mix. When Simba came home, I could not believe it was the same dog. He's now calm, obedient, and responsive. He no longer pulls on the leash or nips at anyone. He listens to commands, doesn't bark excessively, and has such a better sense of control and focus. What really stood out to me is that Jamal didn't just train my dog -- he also trained me. He gave me the confidence I needed as a dog owner to trust my dog and to trust myself. I now feel like Simba and I truly understand and respect each other. Our bond is stronger than ever, and I finally feel like I'm leading him in the right way. We can now take him to off-leash parks, and he plays nicely with other dogs but comes right back when called. At home, he's relaxed, respectful, and fits beautifully into our family again. I'm beyond grateful to Jamal and his team for giving Simba the structure and foundation he needed -- and for giving us peace of mind as a family. Highly, highly recommend K9 Timeless Training and Boarding!

BEWARE! We paid K9 and Justin at Off Leash K9 Training (aka Gulfcoast Off Leash K9 Training, VIP K9…read moreTraining, LLC) $4,000 up front to hold specific boarding/training dates for our 2 puppies in July '25. We were told a trainer would reach out within a few days, and after 2 weeks of delays we canceled and asked for a refund.

After several calls over the next month asking why there was a delay, he finally agreed to send a check via certified mail...which promptly BOUNCED. Our card company has now credited the charge. What a hassle! Be careful dealing with this company. It's not what it is advertised to be! If there was an option for "0" stars, I'd use it instead of "1".

The following is the review that I left as the ICE complaint. If something similar happens to your…read morebaby while at this facility; please rate them on the military site too, so that way they are held accountable for their lack of inaction. Military MWR site can be found here: https://ice.disa.mil/index.cfm?fa=card&sp=126636&s=957&dep=*DoD My actual complaint: My dog was boarded at your facility for approximately thirteen days. Prior to boarding, he was in good overall health, fully up to date on all vaccinations, and exhibited no signs of illness. I also have video footage from the week prior to boarding showing him acting normally and healthy. He had vet records from the 8th of April also stating he was in overall good health. Unfortunately, the condition in which my dog was returned to me was deeply concerning and entirely unacceptable. Upon pickup, he appeared malnourished, dehydrated, and in respiratory distress. He was suffering from excessive sneezing and wheezing, runny eyes, a runny nose, with a hard time breathing, and a significant buildup of discharge that had begun to coagulate. This was clearly not the same healthy animal I entrusted to your care. I immediately took him to my veterinarian following pickup. The veterinary examination and records confirmed that he was both malnourished and dehydrated, in addition to suffering from respiratory symptoms. I have since incurred veterinary expenses exceeding the amount I paid for boarding services. During his stay, I contacted the facility to ask whether staff had noticed anything unusual regarding his health or behavior. I was assured that he was "perfectly fine" aside from minor sneezing. Based on the condition he was in at pickup, it is difficult to understand how these obvious changes went unnoticed or unaddressed by your staff. Even your manager acknowledged that I should never have had to take him to the veterinarian the same day he was released from your facility. In addition to the financial burden, I was forced to spend days and nights personally nursing my dog back to health after bringing him home. The situation was extremely stressful and emotionally exhausting, and I lost a significant amount of sleep caring for him and monitoring his condition to ensure he recovered safely. What is equally disappointing is the complete lack of accountability shown afterward. Despite the seriousness of the situation, neither the manager nor any member of the staff offered so much as an apology for my dog's condition or the distress and financial burden this caused. To date, no meaningful effort has been made to remedy the situation. I requested a refund due to the negligence, lack of attentiveness, and inadequate care provided during my dog's stay. I am extremely grateful I picked him up when I did, as the outcome could have been far worse had his condition continued to deteriorate unnoticed. I also have photographs, videos, and veterinary documentation supporting his condition immediately after pickup. Your own service agreement states that the facility "shall exercise reasonable care for the pet delivered by the owner to their facility for services." Based on the condition in which my dog was returned to me, I believe that obligation was clearly breached.

Dr. Bart de Gols at Canine Evolutions understands dogs. Seriously. He is the total package and…read moreyou will not be disappointed if you bring your pup to him. Coming from the competitive dog sport world, and holding a degree in Cynology (the study of canines or domestic dogs), it seems Bart has been a passionate and lifelong student of the dog. Just google and see for yourself. Rather than "quick fixes", he dives deep to understand first and foremost, your dog. For example, understanding HOW your dog operates is fundamental to building a healthy relationship to him/her so that your dog does things WITH you (and not FOR you). This is the critical foundation which Bart builds upon in shaping the behavior of all the dogs he works with. It just makes sense. Since we brought our German Shepherd pup to him last year, we have watched his remarkable transformation around obedience to now protection work. And it hasn't just been him! I have learned so much through Bart's online resources, lectures, and important discussions. This has been so much fun. In summary, we have discovered in Bart, a rare combination of practical expertise, scientific understanding, and authentic compassion and advocacy for dogs. We cannot recommend him more!

Once a week got him on phone & told he would email or call...none of either. Phone won't accept voicemail, no response to text. There are 4 of us who compete in events listed on his website with two of us who have tried to nail him down for training, with being left feeling he has no interest. One has been trying for months. Having to go with somebody else to train with after well over reasonable amount of waiting with no attempt from Bart to return contact. Blows my mind how a trainer can just ignore multiple long term clients who are looking for somebody to train with closer to home. Will look at him again if he surfaces.
