A friend had recommended LionK9 to me so I reached out to see if it was a good fit. When I brought Uno to the assessment, it looked like she would rather decapitate herself than go near Rob. I thought she might be beyond help. Rob encouraged me and had the utmost patience with me and with Uno. Today, she can walk through Home Depot without barking at a single person or other dogs, she follows commands even off leash, and she can be right next to Rob without freaking out! I am so grateful I took the time and energy to teach my dog proper obedience and I'm so grateful for LionK9 for teaching me!

After reviewing…read moreand talking to several dog training establishments and checking reviews I contacted Rob at Lion K9. After talking and meeting with him I felt like he would be the person to train me and my husband to train our dog Asher. It was the best decision! Rob has helped us so much. We are still training and working with our dog but honestly Rob can get our Asher to do more commands than we can. He knows dogs and how to handle them. He's straight forward with us and we like that. I recommend Lion K9 to anyone who's looking for a great trainer.

He was so jumpy and mouthy that we didn't feel like we could take him anywhere. Sadie took our misbehaving puppy and turned him into an absolute joy to be around. She is a fantastic trainer and I am so glad we found her. I would HIGHLY recommend you reach out to her if you are on the fence about dog training. She was great to work with (we got pictures and updates during the week). On the day we picked up our sweet Waffles she went over everything he learned in depth so we can reinforce everything he learned. Thank you Sadie for all your help!

I have had 100% excellent experiences with Kelsey and her team taking care of Our previous cat and our current cat when my spouse and I are out of town: great communication, excellent care provided for pets, and very reasonable pricing for the services provided. My previous cat had some health issues later in her life, and Kelsey and her team did great with giving her medication and special food, and they all clearly love animals. Our current cat is incredibly shy with strangers and often hides, but she loves everyone who visits from Kelsey's, and getting pictures of her getting attention and love while we're gone makes being away easier! I truly cannot recommend Kelsey's enough!

Before that, we enjoyed dog parks and meeting other dogs and their owners on our daily walks. She became aggressive during puberty. The Vet said let's wait to see what happens after the spay. Jade got more aggressive, not less. Desiree is a dog whisperer. When we met at our consultation, Desire walked into my backyard, and Jade snarled and bounded across toward her. I almost fainted watching my huge dog running toward her. Desiree did her trainer thing, and Jade completely relaxed. I watched Jade become putty in her hands within minutes, and I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. The training was detailed and extensive. My dog responds to me when I call her with a quiet "hey" when she starts to play with my cats or go towards the kitchen. She places in the house even when guests arrive, or someone rings the doorbell. Her PICA (eating non-food items) is almost completely gone. ( Jade is s/p a life-threatening bowel obstruction after eating a towel) She went to the dog park and played with a Golden until her energy was spent a few days ago. I can play with her off-leash and have confidence in my abilities to communicate with her. A couple of weeks after the training, Jade all of sudden began to be triggered by the satellite dishes and telephone polls on our walks. Well, you can imagine how difficult it became with aggressive barking and then refusal to move. I called Desiree, and she drove the 20 miles to my house immediately. She offered some recommendations, which I applied right away and I could see that the initial onslaught of fear dissipated over a couple of weeks. Desiree is professional, prompt, clear, and is phenomenal with dogs. It's been 8 months since training and Jade is an amazing companion. Thank you, Desiree

The Dr was polite but refused to entertain these ideas and insisted it was caused by fleas since he wasn't on flea meds. She then gave me a prescription for it and told me she's including a coupon for $10 off. I settled my bill and thought everything was done. I get letters in the mail a few weeks later saying I have an outstanding balance. Then I get multiple phone calls about it as well. I asked what was wrong since I paid in full but apparently I used the wrong coupon so they needed me to pay the $10. For a coupon they gave me...that I didn't ask about or insist about. I paid the $10 to get them off my back but was upset that they're being this vicious about $10 and a mistake that they made. Vowed to never go again but now a year later I am being bombarded with emails and calls to bring my cat back. Also, he was allergic to his food. We switched to grain free and all his problems were solved.

Updating my review to say how incredibly happy I am with Powerhouse K9! My puppy is now 8 months…read moreold and has spent a total of 5 weeks here (3 weeks for board-and-train and 2 weeks for regular boarding). As a first-time puppy owner, I wasn't sure what to expect or if puppies just naturally outgrow certain behavioral issues. Either way, this is the only formal training she has ever had, and the results speak for themselves. She came back so incredibly well-behaved. And has reminded well behaved. When we go out in public, people always come up to see her because she's cute, but what they *constantly* comment on is how exceptionally well-behaved she is for an 8-month-old puppy. It is so validating to hear that from strangers! I love and fully agree with Anthony's methods and what he does here. If you want a well-behaved dog, Powerhouse K9 is the only place to go. Highly recommend! Full disclosure: I have a pure poodle and they are known to be smart. I brought her to PowerHouseK9 initially at 4.5 months, only weeks after adopting her so my reviews are specific to this. I cannot speak to any other situation or dog breed.

When I picked my dogs up, they were really happy to see us, but not at all traumatized. Plus they smelled nice, because I paid extra for baths :). I most definitely recommend Elite Dogs for boarding, and I plan to go back to them for dog training as well.

Without Juan's guidance and expertise, I don't think our relationship with Casper would be as solid as it is today.
