I want to say I am extremely happy with my dogs treatment here and would definitely recommend! I was a tad nervous because my dog is nine and doesn't spend much time away from home. However I can tell he had such a wonderful time and they separate play time but energy level of the dogs which made me very comfortable! Happy to have found a place to keep boarding and using the day care for my dog! Plus he left very clean! read more

From the first day of doggie day care, our dog was so happy and by the time he came he was exhausted. They show such love and care and we are quite happy. It is more affordable than most but you can buy coupons to save even more by prepaying. We had to board our dog last minute for a family emergency and they couldn't wave been nice r. Dublin came back clean as a whistle ( first boarding you get a free bath!) next time I will bring his bed as well but there are several suites to choose from. Caring owners and trainers read more

The best breeder for Italian Greyhounds. Very easy to work with and very professional.

I took a class here with my young dog. The class was so beneficial to him to learn basic manners and commands. Definitely worth the money as long as you do your homework. My dog also gained confidence and that has been invaluable for more new experiences and further adventures. read more

I wouldn't trust my puppy with anyone else. If it wasn't for K9 Korral's compassionate and knowledgable training and day care, my puppy would be one unruly, anti-social, obnoxious teenager. These guys have taught me so much, not just about my Schnoodle, but about myself. You get individual attention, the most competitive pricing in the area, and people who take the time to really get to know your pet's unique personality. In fact, I call Mark my puppy's "other mother" because my puppy is beyond smitten with him. When it's time to take her to daycare or class, she is ecstatic about jumping in the arms of all the staff. She comes home happy, content, and ready for rest. I've always been treated with respect and even more importantly, with kindness and patience. It's not just a business at K9 Korral, it's a lifestyle they love. read more

I adopted Belle from the Sarasota Humane Society last December. She was listed as a dog who should not be with other dogs. That was OK with me at the time, but Belle turned out to be much more aggressive than I would have thought. After spending just ONE hour with Mark at K9, he recognized that her aggression was based on fear. She is now attending Doggy Day Care at K9 once a week and is gaining a comfort level being with other dogs. I can't thank the folks at K9 enough! read more

I visited K9Korral today for the first time- just moved here from San Diego and needed a few supplies for my French Bulldog. Jeff was AMAZING! I felt like I was surrounded by people who understood my dog and were happy to help. I will most definitely be back and can't wait to sign my dog up for daycare/overnight boarding :). read more

Mark and Jeffrey are an absolute pleasure to know. We have been taking our dogs to them for over 3 years for training, doggy daycare and boarding! Like most people, our pets are our babies and it's a relief to know and trust K9 Korral and their employees to safely watch our furbabies! I would absolutely recommend K9 Korral to everyone! read more

K9 is the best place in town for doggy day care/boarding. Mark is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and caring. Our dogs love coming here!

I am so happy that we decided to use k9 korral for training our 2 y/o Rhodesian Ridgeback. We just completed the level 1 class and will be signing up for agility classes and the Canine Good Citizenship class. Mark IS the dog whisperer, he's absolutely amazing! The prices CAN'T be beat, and the shop offers a wide variety of good products as well. The people here will go out of their way to help you accomplish your goals, we had consulted with several other trainers before choosing Mark. If you do the same, you WON'T be disappointed! I love them! Thank you so much for everything you do! You guys are AMAZING! read more

I have boarded my 2 dogs plus a foster dog here as well as training for one of my dogs. I feel 100 percent comfortable bringing my dogs here for boarding and training. Our foster was a rambunctious one and I would not think about taking him anywhere but here. I know my dogs are loved and cared for while they are here. read more

This is our Akita's and English Bully's second home. We get their food here too. Our Akita loves it so much that he wakes up every day and runs to the door and back to us for about fifteen minutes trying to gauge if today is a daycare day. It's not possible for us to be any happier with a kennel. read more

We just finished our third session of training with Mark. He is a gentle trainer for the dog and owners. After just 3 sessions our rescue dog knows and obeys the safety commands and walks very mannerly on a lead. Very impressed with the whole process. Would highly recommend! read more

I am absolutely appalled at the unprofessional behavior exhibited by this company. We are a local veterinary hospital that cares for a patient boarding at this facility. Today, this patient was brought to us by K9 Korral for treatment of mild vomiting that occurred this morning, however they were unable to provide documentation that gave us permission to treat the animal. We were unable to reach the owner to give permission for us to treat the patient and asked the boarding facility if they wished to wait while we tried to get in touch. Unfortunately, we are legally obligated to have some form of permission from an animal's owner before testing or treatment can be administered. They declined and took the dog back. To avoid the poor animal leaving without any help, I provided donated medication to the employee that brought her for temporary relief. The owner of the facility called us approximately 30 mins later and verbally assaulted my front office staff and used revolting profanity while she tried to explain that all we needed was a simple signed form giving us permission to treat the animal. I called back to discuss the matter (as the doctor) and was treated similarly. I will never recommend this company again and am disgusted by the entire encounter. read more

I would not recommend this place at all. I brought my deaf special needs 2 yr old puppy here for 5 days. On return from our vacation we were told he was the worst dog they had ever seen, screws loose in his head, needs to be heavily medicated and he could never return due to the damages he caused. Well as a business owner I do understand paying for damages , but we have yet to see any damage photos or bills. I believe that was to intimidate me as a single women. I do know my dog can be anxious and overwhelming but these people defiantly treated him badly and were not the place I believed them to be. I brought Wilbur there thinking the dogs were outdoors, playing, staying together etc.. He stated that our dog is not even living in the state that he is in and they felt sorry for him. The way they treated me I can not imagine the way they treat the animals behind closed doors. Finally, after a few days back home Wilbur is back to his happy, loving, playful self. Beware where you take your fur babies!!!! Lesson learned the hard way!! read more

I was looking for a place that had it all...training, day care, boarding, and you know...people that actually cared about my dog. I searched online, reading every review and website, YouTube videos, and was so impressed by what I saw for K9 Korral. I called to talk to someone about training and Carolla answered the phone. What a delight she was, and you could tell that she truly enjoys where and who she works for, and she's been there about 7 years. Happy employees! We scheduled Mark to come to my house for a private obedience training session. My dog isn't always fond of men, but Mark immediately knew how to calm her down and get her attention. We worked on her jumping and her manners for people knocking at the door. Our dog also gets nervous around some other dogs, so Mark had us come to the facility and he introduced our dog to his dog, and he instructed us on her triggers. Jeffrey came out and was talking to me about her behavior and what energy she's putting out...It was all fascinating and really helped us understand our dogs actions better. Since then, we've done a supervised day care, which went flawlessly and my dog was tired for 2 days afterwards! You will not be able to find more knowledgeable, caring and attentive staff...You all are wonderful and thank you for making this anxious parent more at ease!! read more

K9 Korral - Olive, after day care (tired for 2 days!!) - Pet Training Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I've always thought some dog training centers were always doing their best, but when I came here with Letty, I never believed she could respond this much to the training she received. Very receptive, very understanding, very professional. It's easy to see why I met some other people who also came here on recommendation from others. I'm definitely recommending this facility to others as well. Thanks read more

Best training centre I've ever been! I've been to numerous training centres, but nothing worked for my dog. Then, someone told me about K9 Korral. K9 Karrol has proved to be a heaven for me. Now, I don't listen any complaints from neighbors regarding my dog. At K9 Korral you'll see many dogs. So, your dog gets a friendly environment where he can learn and this eventually leads to an unprecedented transformation. Will surely recommend this place to others. :) read more

Our dog has come here for puppy kindergarten and for doggy day care over the last 8 months and she's a big fan! She is always excited when we arrive and sad to leave. The staff are great, very knowledgable, and give me good feedback about our dog. I trust them and I'm happy to have found them. read more

The K9 Korral is the best training center I have ever been to. Jeff and Mark are very knowledgeable in dog behaviors. They offer daycare and boarding, and their shop provides anything you could need. They have done a great deal of research to offer the highest quality dog foods available. read more

Being new to the area this is the first time we left our dog. Mark and his staff were very personal and you could tell they all really loved what they did. Our dog normally doesn't play well but at K9 with the right handling she did great and enjoyed 7O% if her day playing. We are going back again soon and feel 100% confident our fur baby will be in good hands. This is the best boarding experience we have ever had. Don't let the exterior of the building detract you. It's also on the way to the airport which is s plus. read more

I like and trust the K9 Korral. I've been bringing my dog for day care for a few years and Mark, Jeff and Carola are really knowledgeable and friendly. I also buy my food from them because I feed my dogs all natural food and have found that the Korral beats the price of everyone around including "Holistic for Pets" and the chain stores. They have a real love for the dogs. read more

Jeff and Mark are awesome! Kind and attentive professional dog handlers. They understand and appreciate each dog's unique personality. Loved the Obedience 1 class and it made a big difference in our dog's behavior. Also, have boarded our dog multiple times and used their doggy day care service. He is excited to go! Kudos! read more

i've never heard of k9 korral before i decided to find some inexpencive agility classes in the area BUT i was pleasantly surprised with what i've found as these are exactly the classes i've been looking for: the staff qualification is outstanding as well as the prices and stuff. thx guys for the job u do! read more

Wow, where do I start? The facility, the staff, and Rocko are all excellent. I loved the fact that everyone was so caring and loving to my sweet Charmer (my dog). They absolutely showed a great ordeal of compassion and consideration to Charmer and to all the dogs around. I've heard horror stories from friends where their dogs would get mistreated by the dog centers, but NOT here at K9KORRAL. They answered all my questions and they made Charmer and I feel comfortable at all times. I rescued Charmer from an abusive family, so Charmer really didn't know how to interact with other animals and even human beings. Sometimes he would be very aggressive and angry. He would stop barking uncontrollably. He would also jump on people in an aggressive way. I was scared to bring Charmer around my family, due to their safety. Coming from an abusive relationship, of course one might have trust issues and one also might be angry and start to be a little more on the violence side. But after training at K9KORRAL, Charmer is a lot more friendlier to my family members. He has not once acted in no aggressive or ills way to another individual. When we go out for walks, Charmer is also a lot more friendlier to the people and other dogs that we pass by. So I really do appreciate K9Korral for their help. Also, what had really helped a lot was the private classes that I took with the AMAZING Jeffery. He's a sweetheart and to me he might be the dog whisperer hahaha! Also, the Doggy Boarding is such a great flat fee price which is amazing. These people are very trustworthy, so it was easy for me to commit to leaving Charmer with them. I do seriously recommend this to everyone, you will not regret it! Chow :) read more
