I was very excited when I first met with my trainer. Unfortunately, tools are not something that I…read moredid not necessarily want to use. I, myself, a novice, not a trainer, had been using a prong collar. I was jarred when she used the prong to correct my 10 month old puppy, and said he was in shock because she kept snapping the leash. That was a bit too much for me. However, when I asked the trainer what method they used, and I was told the LIMA method. I was confused as to why corrections with tools were being used. After reaching out to a few trainers, this is what I have found about the LIMA METHOD; There are technically 2 views on what this term means. The original definition has a hierarchy of things that must be done before going to usage of tools of discomfort such as prong collars and the like. The newer more common conversation has left the hierarchy behind and does not allow for use of such tools at all. So I was definitely not understanding why the trainer seem led to be using the prong as a crutch to train. I was only using it for walking, and eventually would have liked to not use a prong collar at all. The trainer was definitely professional, but using tools to walk, place, sit, basically give any command was not something I was interested in. At one point when she kept snapping the leash on my youngest puppy, teaching him place I expressed that I had taught my other puppy how to be in place without doing that. My hope was that they would see if I can do it without snapping, a leash and a prong collar on the dog that they can do it too but the same behavior kept happening. I also let the trainer know that my other pup would bite if you tried to take food away that he found on the street, but we were not using that scenario at all when training. Since I am not a trainer, I can only go by what other trainers have told me. They have told me that unless I have aggressive dogs that are biting or trying to hurt others that prong collars are really an antiquated tool as is the e collar. Definitely no hard feelings. Just not the training method for me.

I can't say enough great things about K9 Coaches, LLC. When we started, walks with my dog Lainey…read morewere stressful--she was constantly pulling and lunging at other dogs. Now, she walks calmly right at my side and will sit quietly as other dogs pass by. The transformation has been incredible. Lainey has also learned commands like "place" and will stay put even when I'm out of sight, which I never thought would be possible. One of the biggest wins for me is being able to take her to restaurants--she sits calmly next to me and truly feels like a well-behaved companion. Just as important, I've learned how to communicate with her in a way she understands. I feel confident handling her both on and off leash, and she's become such a joy to be around. If you're on the fence about training, I highly recommend K9 Coaches. The results have completely changed our day-to-day life for the better.

A close friend referred me to Josh when my puppy Jojo's defiant, adolescent stage had me stumped…read more My friendly, outgoing, submissive, and obedient puppy soon developed an "I'll get to that later" response to my corrections and not only knocked over toddlers in excitement at the park, but now jumped up to kiss adult faces in a less than gentle way, and sometimes even disappeared into the woods only to return on her own schedule. As someone who grew up around dogs in a rural setting, my basic and quite lenient dog-raising skills came up short in my now urban and backyard-free setting. Josh helped me re-frame Jojo's off-leash shenanigans, over-excitement around strangers and guests, and general puppy-like behavior beyond young puppy-hood as her way of dealing with a lack of boundaries and structure. He encouraged me to use my self - not increasingly elaborate treats or training products - as my main tool, and to revise my relationship with Jojo, giving her reason to turn to me for direction and guidance. He also worked with me on finding realistic solutions for me and my lifestyle in a nonjudgmental way, while being honest about the sometimes slow nature of large and long-lasting changes. Well, it turns out Jojo thrives on structure and, not only does she respond well to boundaries, she craves them! I've seen a great shift in both our interactions and her overall behavior, and am confident that she will continue to grow into a great, well-balanced adult dog and perfect companion.

Overall, mochi had such a great time and came home completely exhausted and happy. If I weren't just in ATL for a few weeks, I would 100% use this service again! Special mention: I loved receiving a "report card" at the end of each day in boarding. It was so fun getting to see what my dog was up to while I was gone!

I honestly don't leave reviews very often, but I really want to support this business and see them succeed because they have been so great to both me and my dog Goose. I have a high energy, high anxiety 3 year old goldendoodle with some quirks. This is the 3rd day care we've tried in as many years and this team has by far made me feel the most comfortable out of any daycare we've tried out. Before we booked our vibe day one of their team members spent at least 30 minutes on the phone with me listening to my concerns (based on previous day cares we've visited) answering my questions with so much patience and kindness. They actually communicate with me at pick up and drop off (I don't have to try to pull information out of them, they update me and let me know if there is anything I should be aware of) and are very responsive over text. I can tell the owner and staff not only truly care about my dog, but also know their stuff - how to make appropriate corrections when needed, how to separate groups, give breaks, etc. based on each dogs needs. Previous day cares I've gone to both indoor only and indoor/outdoor have sent my 65lb dog home pretty dirty at times which almost makes daycare more of a pain (having to unexpectedly bath my big wild boy is not something that's a quick and easy process). Not only does he not come home dirty, but one time the owner Azhia brought him out when I was picking him up and I was like "why does he smell clean?". She said that she always thought it was a pain when she would pick her dogs up from daycare and they were a mess and so she goes the extra mile for her clients (they wipe them down as needed - but you can also easily add on things like teeth brushing, nail dreamels, licky mats, baths, etc. for small extra charge) They let them be dogs and get messy while they're there which I love, but I literally picked up a cleaner dog then I dropped off . Their outdoor area is pretty large with different sections for different dogs, has a sandbox and kiddy pool, etc. but they also have an indoor area. They upload pictures and videos on their site that you get linked to in text/email vibe reports everyday they visit, which is so fun and they update their IG account with stories everyday so you get some great pics and videos of your pet, as well as a bit of an understanding of their day. One of the team members Brice and I have gotten to know each other a bit at pick ups and drop offs over quick chats, since they come out to your car for both (another perk!) I happened to mention Goose needed to be groomed but I was trying to figure out how to make it work with my current schedule. He told me that he knew an excellent groomer that he could have come to City Dogz and they would just bring him in for his groom in time for me to pick him up. Not only did she do a fantastic job, but she has very competitive pricing as well. I used to pick up my dog from a daycare, where I could literally see on the camera that their staff was just sitting in the room looking at their phones while dogs just kind of walked or laid around. My dog wasn't necessarily excited to get dropped off and would come back acting like he hadn't been mentally or physically enriched for lack of a better word. Not only does my dog rush to the gate excited to go inside at City Dogz, but he also snuggles up to the various team members when he gets picked up so I know he is happy there and trusts them. He's also generally calm when he gets picked up so I know he got some good energy out. Doggy day care and boarding is too expensive to drop money when you don't feel comfortable that your dog is getting the right play and attention and care in my opinion. I'm so happy with my experience, when my commute changes, I'll end up driving out of my way to bring Goose here as needed, as opposed to the option that is just down here street for me. I'm sure you're all sick of reading if you've made it this far . Check them out, they're the best!!!
