    This place is fantastic. Water exercise is great for active dogs or for dogs who need rehabilitation (water exercise is great for everyone!). I took my dog Reza here yesterday, and I think he got a lot out of it. The staff is friendly and accommodating. 30 minute appointments are very affordable, especially if you buy a package. My only complaint is the distance - it's a 40-minute drive from DC. Nonetheless, I'll definitely be coming back, because I think Reza really benefits from it.

    We love k9 aquatic center! Dominique and the swim coaches are all so wonderful whether it be with daycare or swim lessons. Our puppy has had a blast playing with friends and becoming a more confident swimmer! Major bonus points since my dog always comes home happy and exhausted! Plus, what is cuter than a puppy in a little life vest?

    We always wanted to take our dog to the water but we didn't know if he could swim. Also our dog is super energetic and has a hard time focusing so we thought taking him swimming would drain his energy and help him to listen better! So we took our dog Scooby here and they were super patient and taught our dog how to swim! Afterwards at home his energy was drained and he just rested :) it was great! He had a really good time but towards the end Scooby had an incident, that was no fault of their own and they were super gracious about it and didn't even take extra from us. I highly recommend this place to teach your dog to swim as well as working them out if they already know how to swim! The place and the people are very dog friendly and super nice! Go check them out!

    What a truly unique and special place this is here!!! Dominique the owner and staff especially Kelly are true gems and help all dogs reach their full healthy potential getting aquatherapy into their days. I'm in town from Vermont and while looking around for fun ideas for my Golden and I to include in our trip came across K9 Aquatic Center, I SOOO wish there was a location like this up in Vermont!! Clean sparkling pool swim lanes- 4- and a larger pool area, each swimmer in their lane gets his/her own swim instructor and plenty of toys to play with or you can bring your pups favorite from home. The instructors are professional, kind and love dogs!!! Perry and I thank you for getting a great workout in this trip!!!

    We came here to give our one year old lab some swim time. He LOVES the water and I wanted to give him an opportunity to swim. The owner is wonderful! She responded to my email quickly and we scheduled a swim session over the phone. When we got there my pup was VERY excited. And the staff knew exactly what to do. They were so calm and kind with my exuberant puppy and he had an incredible swim session! Carolyn was our swim coach and she was AMAZING. She was so sweet with Albert and obviously has a lot of experience. I would highly recommend K9 Aquatic Center to anyone who has a doggy that loves to swim! We had a wonderful time! We will definitely be going back!

    We brought our 7 month old puppy here for some pool time. He can swim, but isn't too comfortable yet, so we wanted to help get him some positive exposure with a swim coach. From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in good hands. Dominique, the owner, welcomed us right in. Several of the staff greeted Ghost, and helped get him fitted with a life jacket. He swam with Alex, and it was such a great experience. Alex was very patient with him, helped him, and coached him along during the session. He knew when he needed breaks, and just carried him around the pool. This is Ghost's 2nd pool experience, although 1st time at K9 Aquatic, and we will definitely be back! This facility is very professional, and the attention they pay to your dog makes you feel extremely comfortable. Ghost definitely improved just in this one session, and he absolutely loved Dominique's homemade chicken treats at the end. Can't wait for our next session!

    I can't say enough good things about Brandi and Perry Bailey of RSK9. Their work has given my pup…read moreand I so much freedom and balance. Pebbles (blue heeler, 1.5 years old) would never listen to me, would not sit or lay still, and had a lot of other obedience issues that caused her to be stressed or confused. She was a TOUGH dog to train and I was concerned I couldn't find the solution for her to get basic concepts. This view has completely changed since working with RSK9's 3 week program. I would HIGHLY recommend them and their methods - you can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and it's made a huge difference in giving my dog the chance to find real rest at home. They send DAILY updates with photos and videos which was so nice. This isn't a regular class or something you just pay for; it's truly an investment that you and your dog will be using for the time you get to share together. Side note: it's worth doing 3 weeks versus 2 weeks. At the 2 week mark is when Pebbles really started to understand her marks and cues. From here there is so much more that can be refined and Brandi/Perry really capitalize on that threshold being crossed!

    Brandi & Perry were amazing! Highly recommend working with them…read more We adopted a one year old mixed breed, Tuck, a few months ago. He's very sweet but started to get rambunctious to the point that my remote work felt challenging. He also started jumping or freezing when he saw other dogs on walks, and he occasionally barked or growled and men. We weren't sure if it was the start of aggressive behavior or just the result of a shelter dog that hasn't been exposed. After doing our research, we decided to do the 3 week behavior modification board and train program. We were really impressed from beginning to end. They shared a ton of information upfront, walked us through their facility (we opted to drop him off) and sent pictures and updates every evening. It became clear right away that they both have a very deep understanding of dogs, as well as a real respect and love for them. Tuck loved them! The best part was the "transition" day when Perry brought Tuck back and spent the day teaching us everything they've worked on together. We are first time dog owners so generally going in pretty blind. Perry gave us a 101 on dogs and the importance of clear and consistent communication. He talked through all of the layers of training and how/why it is effective. We felt this part was SO helpful for us to understand how to be better owners. Then we walked Tuck around the neighborhood with Perry guiding us and then spent time addressing indoor behaviors too. He was flexible and stayed until we felt comfortable with everything. This is a long review so the TLDR: finding a trainer is a big decision and investment so we wanted to get it right. Brandi & Perry were really incredible and beyond our expectations!! Truly worth every penny! Tuck has been doing really great at home and outside since being home. I've been able to work full days with him holding "place" on his cot, which would have been unheard of before!

Not only did we have private lessons at an affordable fee, we have continued to use all Back In The Pack services! I would never leave Leo with anyone but Dari, and I think Leo feels the same :) There is something about her voice and her personality that immediately got Leo to listen! She worked with us on basic obedience but we had bigger issues including nipping , walking control on leash, commands and reversing bad behavior. You are provided hands on training and so is the puppy/ dog :) I had very high standards when selecting a trainer, and all exceeded . As a trainer she keeps it real, Dari will let you know a) the dog is doing this because xyz and B) you as a owner and handler are doing xyz which isn't consistent with trining and your goals. Dari is also a wonderful person, mother, wife and family woman with a contagious drive to do better and more! Wonder Trainer and Wonder Woman!!! Leo and I adore you.

He also couldn't go for a walk more than 4 houses from ours. Within a week of boot camp, he was walking on a leash without any issues. He was more confident with so much less anxiety. He was a completely different dog and Dari was able to train him with positive reinforcement to live a happier life! We highly recommend Dari whether it's boarding or training as your dogs will be in good hands!

We came to Dr. Meyer at our wit's end, as training hadn't helped. We had exhausted every other option we could find. She spent a lot of time with us, gave a comprehensive evaluation of Echo, and prescribed medication that really helped stabilize our pup. The change was dramatic, and while Echo would never become a therapy dog, his biting reduced from every few weeks to at most once a year, he began sleeping through the night, and he developed more confidence. Dr. Meyer also continued to be available for email consultation and met with us annually. When it was time to say good-bye to Echo, she helped us with resources to get us through this tough time. My husband and I would definitely say that Dr. Meyer's work helped Echo have a better quality of life for a longer time.
