    I've been working with Angie from Keen K9 for over a year now, and they've been amazing with my Doberman. She really understands the breed and helped turn my high-energy pup into a well-behaved, confident dog. Training sessions are always clear, practical, and actually fun--for both of us! I've learned so much, and the difference in my dog is night and day. Highly recommend if you've got a Doberman or any strong-willed dog. I'm so grateful for Angie!!

    Angie is an amazing dog trainer! She provided in home training for us and our two cattle dog puppies. We were so impressed with Angie's knowledge and patience. She really understands dog behavior and tailors her training methods to each individual dog. My puppies have made so much progress thanks to Angie! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a positive and effective dog trainer and a great place for vacation boarding. She's truly made a difference for us and we're so grateful to have found her! Gilda King

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Keen K9! We have a Border Collie Australian Shepherd mix named Bruce, and before training he was a lot. He had started barking and showing early signs of aggression toward other dogs especially small dogs and he constantly tried to herd my 6 year old pug and our cat. No matter how hard we tried, he was still having accidents in the house. We were honestly overwhelmed. We sent Bruce to Keen K9 at 5 months old, and the change was truly like night and day. I couldn't even believe it was the same dog. He came back so calm, confident, and focused. We can take him on walks now without him barking at other dogs (which used to be so embarrassing!). He even pottys on command which is AMAZING, especially on rainy days! And the herding? Gone. Completely gone. My pug, Mona, was terrified of him before, and now they sleep near each other and walk together like old friends. Bruce doesn't bother her or the cat at all. One thing that really sets Keen K9 apart is that they don't just train your dog they train you too. They don't just drop your dog off and hope for the best. They truly care about the long term success of their trainees, not only the dogs but the owners as well. We went through extensive training with them, and honestly... it was hard for us. I want to say it might've been even harder for Bruce. But I appreciate so much how deeply they care about making sure the whole family succeeds. They made sure we were confident and capable. And of course... Angie and Benny. The absolute BEST trainers you could ever ask for. They love what they do, and it shows in every single interaction. When Bruce came back from his train and board, he actually cried when they left, and to me that said everything. He was cared for, loved, and treated like family. And every time he sees them now, he lights up like he's seeing his best friends. Keen K9 is worth every single penny. You will not regret choosing this company. I wish them nothing but continued success and happiness. They truly changed our lives.

    I can't recommend Keen K9 enough! My 3 year old rescue pitbull Rayne just finished a 6-week board and train, and came back a totally different dog. She used to run off after squirrels all the time on our ranch, but now with her e-collar recall and obedience training, I can let her roam without stressing. Angie, Benny and JJ were incredible -- super knowledgeable and clearly care about the dogs they train. Rayne came back happy, healthy, and confident. She's definitely enjoying her freedom and I finally have some peace of mind! Their prices are more than fair, and totally worth it!

    After struggling for months with a dog who wasn't food motivated and ignored basic commands, I was starting to feel hopeless -- until we began e-collar training with Keen K9. It was a total turning point. The trainer took the time to explain how the e-collar works as a communication tool, not a punishment, which really put me at ease. It was gentle, precise, and allowed for real-time feedback that my dog actually responded to. Within just a few sessions, I saw incredible progress -- no more pulling, ignoring recalls, or darting after squirrels. Best of all, the training focused on building trust, not fear. Because my dog didn't care about treats, this method gave us a consistent and reliable way to reinforce good behavior. Our walks are now calm and enjoyable, and I can let my dog off-leash with confidence. They even helped with my 11-year old terrier mix. Freddie is not sitting and is not reactive towards other dogs. Old dogs can learn new tricks! If you've got a strong-willed or non-food motivated dog, don't give up -- this style of training might be exactly what you need. I'm beyond grateful for the transformation!

    I would like to thank the entire staff at Our Dog House for making our fur baby's stay so special…read more We recently boarded our English Bulldog, Giovanni. He loved every moment here. He made new doggie friends & he absolutely adored all of his new human friends as well. They are the most attentive and caring people. Everyday they kept me up to date on his daily activities with texts of photos and videos. I cannot praise them enough. Thank You once again for providing the most loving environment for our sweet little Giovanni he can't wait for his next adventure with all of his new buddies.

    We've been taking our husky to Our Dog House for both daycare and boarding for the past two years,…read moreand we truly couldn't ask for a better place to care for him. Justice and her team are absolutely amazing! Our boy is a rescue and can be a little fussy and needy at times (especially at night), but the team there has always been incredibly patient, kind, and attentive to his needs. They genuinely understand dog behavior and go the extra mile to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. Communication is another thing they do really well. Whenever he boards, we receive regular updates and photos--often daily--which gives us a lot of peace of mind while we're away. Even when he's just there for a single day of daycare, they still send photos so we can see how he's doing. It's clear the staff truly care about the dogs they work with, and that level of care shows in everything they do. The facility is also kept very clean and well maintained. Most importantly, our dog loves going there--which says everything. He's always howling and happy to get out of the car to go inside and play with his friends. We highly recommend Our Dog House to anyone looking for a daycare or boarding facility that is knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely cares about the dogs in their care.

    We've only had two visits with Michael so far, and the difference in my dog is absolutely…read moreincredible. My boxer was anxious and very reactive, but now he's noticeably calmer and much less reactive. It honestly feels like we have a new dog. Michael is truly the best. He's patient, knowledgeable, and always happy to walk us through any situation or question that comes up. You can tell he genuinely cares about both the dogs and their owners. I can't thank Michael enough! He's made a huge impact on our lives and completely changed the future for my dog. I'm so excited to see the progress we continue to make!

    I want to start by saying the trainer we had Michael is a kind and responsive person. You can tell…read morehe really cares about dogs and takes his work seriously, which I truly respect! We spent over $1,000 hoping to improve our dogs' reactivity issues. We followed the homework that was given to us, stayed consistent, and while there was some minor progress, we eventually hit a wall. The BAH method is the foundation of their training approach, and while it might work for others, it just didn't lead to the results we needed unfortunately. What made it more disappointing for us is that even though the company offers lifetime support, it didn't feel like there was anything drastically new or helpful to move us forward after a certain point. Again, I commend for the trainer for trying his best and truly caring, but we hit a wall. We were basically told we were doing everything right, but the problem still wasn't getting better. This review isn't meant to discredit the trainer or the business. I'm sure he's helped many other clients successfully. Unfortunately, in our case, it didn't live up to expectations given the cost and the goals we had. Sidenote: I'm not looking for a debate or follow-up--just sharing my personal experience in case it helps someone else make an informed decision.
