However, I've had consistent issues with scheduling and communication. Appointments have started late, and I've had to follow up multiple times just to book sessions. While I understood being charged for a missed appointment, I've also had to remind staff about payments and encountered difficulty getting responses--most recently calling twice without securing a booking. The training itself is strong, but the administrative side needs improvement, as it impacts the overall experience and business I hope this feedback reaches the trainer directly. Thank you for taking the time to review my concerns. Due to these multiple issues, I will be finding a new Trainer. My dog will be very sad. She very much loves her Trainer.

Truly a game changer for my dog and my understanding of how to handle my pit bull terrier. I sent…read moremy 6 month old puppy to this training facility for one month because she showed rambunctious, out of control and slightly aggressive behavior. My puppy was out of control one day to the point something needed to be done and a friend recommended katana saying they were the best. They were able to take my dog right away because it was a bit of an emergency situation (as I said, she had done something shocking and very bad) which was amazing of them to make a next day opening. One month passed and I went to go pick up my dog and did the final two training sessions, and now I'm wondering why I have not done this with all of my dogs, as I have three dogs (now only one is properly trained) it was definitely worth it and I am amazed with how well-behaved my dog is and so many commands that she knows, it's incredible!! I cried tears of joy getting her back and seeing her improvement. I know I have a good dog for life now, and I can grow from this training and keep training her. I have changed as a dog owner! The other amazing thing she was there over the holidays, and they sent me the cutest Thanksgiving and Christmas photos of her all dressed up, and they also sent me videos of her being very well-behaved in public and doing commands. Now I show everyone these videos, telling them how wonderful my dog is, when a couple months ago, quite frankly, she scared me. Highly recommend!!

We had a deeply disappointing experience with Jesse and Proud Paws. During our initial…read moreconsultation, we explained our specific situation: a young puppy in a home with a 2-year-old toddler, and a desire to build good habits early before problems could develop. Jesse assured us that she had experience with this kind of dynamic. She strongly encouraged us to sign up for her "Puppy Rockstar" package which is eight sessions for $1,360. She came across as personable, confident, and knowledgeable, so we trusted her and paid in full upfront (though this was optional). Despite carefully following the program (including more than triple the 10 min minimum daily training time she advised) our puppy's behavior deteriorated. After three sessions, it was clear her training methods (which relied entirely on treat-based reward and offered no alternate tools or structure) weren't effective for our situation. We made the hard decision to go with a more intensive program elsewhere. When we contacted Jesse to explain our situation and request a prorated refund for the five unused sessions, she refused, citing a strict "no refunds" clause in her paper work packet. Her only offer was to put our remaining sessions on hold and extend their expiration, even though we made clear that we had already moved to other training out of necessity. It is important to note that the contract also included a clause discouraging us from working with or even taking advice from any other trainer during the program. In our view, this kind of exclusivity, especially in a situation involving a toddler and a rapidly escalating behavioral issue, was unreasonable and not in the best interest of our family or the puppy. Ultimately, we had to prioritize safety and act against the restriction as quickly as possible, even though we initially agreed in good faith. I made this clear to Jesse and offered a fair compromise, in my opinion, of allowing her to retain payment for an additional unused session as a gesture of goodwill. She declined. I voiced my frustration and, frankly, shock at her stance. When I told her I would be leaving a review of our experience, she said that doing so was "threatening her business." I clarified that we were sharing our honest experience so others could make informed choices. My wife and I don't see it that way-we believe sharing an honest account is important for other families deciding who to welcome into their homes with training. Her communication about resolving these issues reflects a rigid and transactional mindset rather than a client-focused one. That was particularly disappointing given how kind and understanding she initially seemed. I strongly advise others to approach with caution: If you choose to work with Proud Paws, I recommend avoiding prepayment, requesting a copy of any contract, and understanding there may be little room to adapt if things don't go as expected. Check out my other reviews-I hate leaving negative ones and have only done so once before. I much rather spread positive news with people and typically have much better luck on yelp finding the right providers. As an update: our puppy has been with a new trainer for just one week, and the change has been dramatic. She's calmer, better behaved, and able to interact positively with our toddler. It's been a complete turnaround. We're beyond relieved that we made the change, though still hurting from the way our family was treated here.

There was no problem she didn't have a solution for -- she's the female dog whisperer. Jessica is attentive, extremely knowledgeable, fantastic with dogs, and genuinely friendly - highly recommend Proud Paws!

Jenny is an incredible trainer!…read more We have a boxer dog who had a rough start in her life. Jenny met with us and immediately started helping us better understand our dog, while giving us practical tools and techniques to work with her. We saw a difference right away. From barking at strangers or friends at the door to becoming much more comfortable when friends came over, our dog has made amazing progress. One thing we really loved about Jenny is that she trained our dog at her house and then came to our home for a house visit. That combination made such a big difference because she was able to help us both in a training environment and in our dog's everyday surroundings. We highly recommend Jenny!

I enrolled my dog Jack in the Beginner's class at J9s K9s after researching all the local training options. I called to learn more and was impressed by Janine's professionalism. She is a wealth of knowledge. The group class settings were actually a good fit for my dog who was exhibiting over-excitement when he saw other dogs and squirrels. He would jump around on his hind legs and make panting sounds. It helped Jack practice obedience while there were other distractions, namely other dogs nearby in the class. They have these handy dividers with curtains to help control some of the over-stimulated dogs and the trainers typically have an assistant to help out too. They are good about giving them peanut butter/cheese bones to distract them and will redirect owners/dogs when needed etc. We enjoyed the class and learned quite a bit. The "power recall" and "leave it" were great take-aways. At the end of every class, we got a summary and homework sheet, which was great. Janine always returned my phone calls whenever I was concerned about my dog Jack's issues and gave great training suggestions. I think they offer lifetime phone consultations. Although Jack still has other issues, he is better, but only through diligent leadership and work with him. He is great around other dogs now. I recommend the group classes if you have a fairly well-balanced dog, but are looking for games and obedience commands!

His approach is straightforward and makes intuitive sense, like wisdom remembered in the Platonic sense.
