Michelle has been helping us train our Samoyed, Winston, for a couple months on reactivity,…read moreaggressive behaviors, and leash walking. Before she came along, Winston was excessively pulling on the leash, barking at everything that moved, and unwilling to listen to any commands. After just a few classes, Winston can better control his behaviors and barks, as well as respond to commands! We just want an obedient dog, and that's exactly what Michelle has and is continuing to teach us and Winston how to get there. Michelle genuinely loves working with animals, and it reflects in our classes. We would sometimes go over our scheduled hour-long sessions, but she wouldn't mind because she wants to make sure we have all of our questions/concerns answered. I recommend Michelle to anyone in a heartbeat. Not only did I find a fantastic dog trainer, but I also gained a wonderful friend.

If you are reading this, your search for dog training stops here. This is the place you need and…read morethey will change your life! This sounds a little over the top BUT I'm not lying. I tell our trainers Katie and Nicole all of the time that they are life savers. We brought our puppy here at 1 years old - a small wild, energetic Jack Russell who knew every time I was on a video meeting to bark his head off and embarrass me EVERY TIME! Walks were out of the question since he would pull on the leash to the point he would choke himself... sitting on the deck was a nightmare in our own backyard because he would bark at the wind (yes, the wind), the leaves moving, the birds and obviously the neighbors. Does this sound familiar? I questioned my decision of getting a puppy and then I found Max K9. We did a 3 week Board & Train where I was super hesitant of dropping him off (because no one wants to leave their baby anywhere), but they were so good with sending video progress and pictures and including my husband and I in the process. I joke with everyone that I think they implanted a program into his brain! Lol! The transformation was unreal. We were instantly able to communicate with him and actually go on a walk.. outside in the real world. What a breath of fresh air, literally! Max K9 has given us the ability to live an active lifestyle and have our pup enjoy it with us. Hikes, traveling, morning walks, trips to the store, brewery visits, long car rides out of state... you name it. I would do it all over again if I had to without a question. So if you've made it this far, thanks for reading. I hope this helps you make your decision to having a better relationship with your pup and enjoying life with them every step of the way.

I am SO thankful for Sherry at Maximum K9. I don't know if I can put into words how helpful she has…read morebeen in training our Stormie. Stormie is a rescue who we adopted in 2019 and underwent 2 surgeries in 2021 due to bilateral CCL surgery. She was cooped up for an extended amount of time during recovery. We were unable to take her outside without her reacting to other dogs and sometimes even people. Stormie even gave us difficulty when we wanted to go for a short walk. It was so frustrating and difficult taking her out in public that we needed help. We have heard of Maximum K9 from many of our friends and even the great reviews I've seen on dog groups and online. I called to inquire about the types of training (group vs. individual) and it was clear that we needed to take private lessons. We signed up for a package of 6 lessons with Sherry that were one hour long for 6 consecutive weeks. Our first day, Sherry got to know about Stormie's behaviors - positive and negative, what we were having difficulty with and what our goals were. Sherry worked with us each week when training Stormie (and me) on how to modify or progress a skill. We learned how to heel, which we never were taught from another trainer elsewhere, and the importance of heel. We were given homework on what to practice from the training sessions to continue our work outside of the facility. Sherry helped Stormie become less dog reactive in a safe manner at Maximum K9. Stormie was slowly exposed to the board and train dogs in the facility that had various levels of size and temperament. Each week, Stormie learned how to follow her commands and not react to different dogs. With Sherry's consistent training, Stormie was able to heel with me in a circle with other dogs and sit next to them without any reaction at all. I cannot find the words to thank Sherry for helping Stormie and myself. I came into Maximum K9 with Stormie trying to pull my arm off and reacting to dogs in the lobby to now leaving with my arm back intact and her in a nice heel. I will refer all my dog lovers and friends to Maximum K9 and Sherry going forward! Thank you again!

Before working with Anthony, walking with our dog Kent was extremely stressful. He struggled with…read moreleash pulling, and leash reactivity which made even short walks feel overwhelming. We love going to breweries with him, but his reactivity when other dogs came in made it unpredictable. From the very first private dog training session with Anthony we saw improvement -- not overnight, but in a way that actually made sense. Anthony took the time to explain why Kent was reacting the way he was, pointing out his body language, triggers and stress signals. The lessons were clear and realistic and were super easy to apply in our walks and outings. We worked through different leash and collar combinations to find what works best for Kent. This has made him more confident, focused and less reactive. After we started training, walks are calmer, more controlled, and genuinely enjoyable. We were able to be transitioned to a group class where we are able to see so many more improvements. We really appreciate the training not being a one size fit all approach. The transformation has been incredible. Anthony is an amazing person to work with! If you're struggling with leash pulling or reactivity or other behavior issues and feel stuck, Anthony is absolutely worth it. This training didn't just change Kent's walks -- it changed our relationship with him.

Both of these behaviors made my goals of participating in dog sports (specifically agility) and being able to walk in public around other dogs pretty much impossible. We took a break from agility and started working with Anthony. We did private and group lessons. Within months I was seeing improvement. Fast forward one year and both behaviors have been corrected. Thanks to Anthony we are back to agility and trying out other dog sports. We are now able to enjoy our boy even more than before! I highly recommend Anthony for his patient, no BS approach to training. He will give you the training and tools you need to work with your dog. The best part is that training will be fun for you and your dog!
