She gave us daily updates on our dogs accompanied with pictures to let us know how everything was going.

I would not hesitate to recommend Jan and hope that she is able to stay with our dogs whenever we are out of town in the future. Wonderful experience!

Trusting and working with Lori has truly been life-changing for our fearful dog (Diego had been…read morebeaten by his past owner, before we rescued him). He was fearful of most people, especially men. He was stubborn on leash, and was most often not responding to commands. Lori's effective approach, focused on trust, building his confidence and teaching him how to properly behave with other dogs and humans. The 3-week stay he had at her place made an unbelievable difference. Diego's fear of people has drastically decreased, his confidence grown exponentially, walks are super enjoyable with him heeling constantly, and he responds reliably to commands. Lori not only trained Diego but also empowered us with the skills to continue his progress. I am so grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her to anyone struggling with their dog's behavior. She has transformed our lives and Diego's! Thank YOU Lori!

When we started, he was reactive to dogs and a nightmare on walks. Now? I'd trust anyone to walk him without getting dragged down the street. His obedience has improved dramatically, too. Even more surprising to me is that our communication is so much clearer. Now, I feel like my dog's leader, not just his handler. If you have a large, reactive dog and want a real partnership, not just commands, go see Jessica. We've got group sessions coming up, and I am so excited to watch my boy make friends and be fully and properly socialized.

I cannot thank Courtney at Quality K9 enough! She helped me turn an unfortunate situation into a…read morevery manageable one with her experience, guidance and understanding! Long story short, I took in my mom's high-energy and undisciplined dog Jaeger, a German wirehair pointer, due to potentially dangerous behavior, like bolting out of the front door, and pulling on a leash. He didn't listen to being called back inside, so I knew it was only a matter of time before a big accident could happen. He also had little to no basic obedience. Once I took him in, we started to work on those things, but other issues arose. I found out he had some pretty significant separation anxiety that would lead to him going to the bathroom inside the house or in his kennel, and he would work himself up so much he would bark and pant all day long. As a busy parent and someone who works full time, I was afraid I didn't have enough time to really work on these issues and was starting to consider rehoming him. After all, I only wanted what was best for him and knew he needed time and consistency to become the best dog he could be. That's where Quality K9 came in! Courtney listened to all of my concerns, took a history of what commands he already knows, what I wanted him to know and made a very detailed plan week by week of what they will work on. I left Jaeger with Courtney feeling confident and comfortable that things were going to improve. After his board and train was done, what I did not expect was that he would become a whole new dog when he returned! He is amazing off leash, has a near perfect heel, and his recall is on point! He no longer bolts out the door, and he is sooo much better in a kennel! The best part is that Courtney still reaches out to me to check in on how things are going, if there's any issues and if so she's happy to keep working on them. I feel so confident in myself and I know Jaeger feels better structured now that he has some ground rules in his life. We are so happy with his results!

Sarah's training exceeded our expectations. When working with Sarah, you can tell that she understands dogs and she describes why the dog is acting the way that it is.

I was uncomfortable bringing Kali out in public for our safety, the safety of others, and simply the embarrassment of having a reactive dog.

We understood that in order for this to work, we would need to continue with her training at home to make sure we got the results we wanted. I bring Kali everywhere with me now; walking trails, coffee shops, parks and more. We are still learning from her interactions with other dogs but we wouldn't have been able to do this without Sarah!!
