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.

Our trainer, Brandon, was…read moreextremely receptive to our concerns with each dog (husky and pit mix) and showed genuine love and admiration for dogs. After a long two weeks, our girls absolutely crushed it! Brandon was able to overcome the litter mate thing the girls had going on and sent home two very well behaved animals. The updates we received along the way truly showed Brandon's dedication and admiration to ensuring a great experience for us and the girls. I would highly recommend this veteran owned, and operated business to anyone.

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. We love Jamie and will continue to have him train our dog for as long as we can.

I got some useful training out of this, particularly around training with distractions, but I'm not…read moreentirely in agreement with their methodologies. The very frequent use of leash popping for a dog "thinking evil thoughts" just didn't sit right with me. My main issue is that I don't want my dog heeling (or doing any other behavior) with her tail between her legs in fear, I want her eagerly and enthusiastically participating. So I gave it a new command and used positive reinforcement only, and her body language completely shifted. Another example is the labeling of a dog as "having a temper tantrum" because it wouldn't listen to a "down" command. This is probably anthropomorphizing and not evidence-based. The trainer's advice to step on the leash and wait ultimately didn't work to get the dog in a down, and he looked very physically uncomfortable.

After just four weeks when we went to parent train his temperament was so much different and he was able to work through his anxiety when it came to seeing other dogs, and outside distractions, follow commands consistently, and walk on a leash properly alongside us without pulling or just walking aimlessly. 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.

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