If I could I would give zero stars. These people ARE NOT dog trainers. They charge you a high…read morenominal fee to put an "e collar'", NO a hock collar on your dog. Let me explain my experience. I grew up in a family that raised dogs. Bird dogs specifically. From the earliest years of my life my father raised chocolate labs, black labs, golden retrievers and yellow labs. Some were family dogs, some hunting dogs. I was put at the task of basic commands training by my father. This entailed house breaking them. Sit. Stay. Down. 3 basiccom ands. People would pay a deposit for a puppy. Once the litter was born depending on male, female, also color and breed specific my father would set a price and we would get the basic commands. If they were to be pheasant hunting or duck hunting dogs their stay with us would be longer. I KNOW QHAT IT TAKES TO TRAIN A DOG. IN 1985 E COLLARS HAD NOT COME OUT AND WERE FROWNED UPON BY TRAINERS AND OWNERS. WE NEVER USED THEM. REPUTUTION, AND REWARDS WITH PRAISE HAVE ALWAYS WORKED. TRIEDAND TRUE. I've had pitbulls, German shepherd, cane Corso, labs, Bassett hounds. But in 2020 my 3rd German shepherd passed away.Not Ling after me and my families Bassett hound passed. My children were devastated. My wife and I were heart broken. In January 12, 2021 my wife of 17 years and I were hit on our harley davidson motorcycle going to dinner. She passed away on the scene. I was airlifted to grand strand. I lost my right arm. Had a TBI. Broken legs and hips. Multiple injuries inside and out. I had a 4% chance of survival. Fast forward 6 months I arrive to my families home in Conway. My 9 year old and 5 year old are devastated. They lost everything, even their beloved shepherd. My dad suggested I get another puppy. We found one. Pure bred with papers. My father and I. Me very limited in a wheelchair started with crate training. Then he had a sudden heart attack and passed. 2 months passed. Ava, my German shepherd puppy needed more training than my disability and injuries would allow me to do from a wheelchair with one arm. I decided to call around. I called several listed on the internet. But the woman from Rocky Road K9-SC set an appointment and came to do an estimate I guess. She was adamant about the dog going to the vet, no problem. Just wanted to work with one vet. One trainer. We set up for where to take her to get a physical and shots. Kaitlyn said that she would be by the following Friday to begin training. Unfortunately due to my TBI I forgot to mention that Kaitlyn sold us on her 2 week program in house. In her contract it stated $2590 due up front. I explained I wanted her to be a service dog but basic commands were essential and I was physically limited. Now kind of strange to me. I read in the contract e collars could be used for problem dogs. But this was a puppy. A sweet smart confident puppy. I thought the price was high. But a service dog is an investment. Plus the way she explained herself and passion for animals I trusted her. WRONG. She took my puppy on a hor day, shoved her in a hunting dog crate inthe back of her puck up truck. I paid $+200 cash down. No receipt. No signed contract on her end. But again. I had a brain injury. I was grieving. My wife and father. She had promised pics and she did post some. I messaged to check on Ava and was told everything is going well. We even worked with her walking around wheelchair. 2 weeks up. She brought her home. Not 5 miss in the house she peed on the floor. Kaitlyn explained the training collar. I wasn't keen on it. But I specifically asked if they did leash work. She spent more time telling me she was a cop. Her husband was a cop. They have cwp , they know all horry county police. Blah blah. Then left. I worked with Ava every day for 2 qeeks. The e collar didn't do anything. She jumped on kids. Bit me 2x. Takes food off the counter. Pee and poop in crate. I called Kaitlyn. Very annoyed she agreed to take ava for a weekend refresher. Ava came back worse. I sent her $399 through cashapp as a thank you. Again I worked with Ava. 3 weeks. I finally messaged Kaitlyn and told her. She'sjumping. Foung to the bathroom in crate. Stealing food off counter. Nipping. She gave me a guaranteethat they would stick withme throughthis training. Guaranteed. She refusedto answer calls. Told me I wasn't followingup with training at home. Bullcrap. I have plentyofexperience just not physicallyable. Now I have a dog. I've spent over $2900 just in training that will not obey without a shock collar on. She's more worriedabout bringing pitbulls that need rehabbed in than payingcustomers. I have no recourse as she posts everyday about how great dogs are doing and how much work she puts in. Liar, liar. I'm in the process of filing a lawsuit. I have an interviewwith a news channel that will air out her rip off business. If you value your dog, don't bring it to rocky Road k9 SC. They will be physicallyabused with electric shock. .

Rocky Road K9 is great with your pet. They are great to deal with and treat your loving pet as…read moretheir own. Love their training and also their free weekly follow up training sessions they offer. Would trust them with my family member ( pet ) again.
