We booked an appointment with Tony when Maggie was about four months old. The transition was unbelievable. He explained to us how dogs think and taught use how to correct bad behavior. In addition to teaching Maggie, Tony taught us what we were doing wrong. I feel it was well worth the cost and recommend K-9 Academy to anyone who is looking to get training for their dog.

I'm so glad we enrolled in Tony's classes at K9 academy because now we have a obedient dog and the confidence to continue with his training throughout the rest of his life. Most people are nervous to bring their beloved pets to trainers for fear of training to be too rough on them, I know we had our concerns when looking into trainers. Tony is very careful and shows you how to properly correct your dog from bad behaviors without hurting them like some of the other extreme methods for dog training. K9 academy charges a fair price for such a great experience, training and confidence you get with training your dog. I loved the fact that if I have questions even outside of class at anytime during the day I can call him for help and he will guide us in the right direction. You can't get that kind of service from any corporate pet store that offers dog training. Tony also never tried to up sell us on any kind of equipment for training or classes that he felt we didn't need. Tony's very passionate about his work and you can really tell his love for dogs when you meet. K9 academy offers so many different class everything from basic obedience to bomb sniffing training so it's easy to find something right for you and pursue your dogs training as high as you'd like.

Thanks K9 academy.

I'm writing this as the web designer who built this business's website and managed their online…read morepresence for over 4 years -- not as a typical customer. What I experienced was a client who terminated services without the required 30-day notice, left an unpaid invoice, revoked our site access overnight, and then launched a new website built on the design we created -- a design they have zero legal rights to. There was no courtesy, no communication, no accountability. Just silence and theft. I genuinely invested in this business. I cared about its success. I gave honest advice, put real strategy behind their growth, and went above and beyond because I believed in what they were building. This is how that was repaid.

We bought a 12 week old puppy for my daughter for Christmas. It's my first pet as well as hers. We…read moredidn't get through the first weekend without the puppy biting, chewing and nipping us constantly. It was very frustrating and painful. I called First Class Canine and got a call immediately from trainer, Beth. We signed up and she was able to get our first class in within a week. We saw results immediately and have since signed up for a second round of training. Our puppy is 5 months old now and we elected to keep up his training because of the remarkable progress and all that Beth has and is still teaching us as pet owners. Jack is now the love our family and has a bond with our 5 yr old that I never imagined possible when we first got him. Beth is very knowledgable and knows how to get your dog to do what you need it to without using force or any cruelty. I highly recommend this company to anyone with a new dog or old dog that needs training in anything!

I first met Nikki back in the late 90's when i had 2 cocker spaniels go through her training. They were great dogs because Nikki played a part in their lives. We used her training techniques throughout their 16 & 17 years. My most recent contact with Nikki has been in relation to her latest litter of Vom Evolution puppies as I have been thinking about getting another dog. I completely trust Nikki, her experience and proven results. Her knowledge and experience specifically with working line german shepherd dogs and all dogs in general makes her one of the best trainers and resources in Pennsylvania. You should also know that she has won many awards, titles and competitions through her hard work and dedication to all dogs and the german shepherd breed. I am editing this to add that Nikki's training facility is spotless. It is easily one of the cleanest animal facilities I have ever been to. She takes pride in her work and it shows.
