We were at our wits end when our vet recommended Kim with Positive Paws. I kid you not, after her very first visit to our home to work with Winston (and us!) we saw remarkable improvement in our adorable puppy. She imparted such good knowledge to help us understand what we were doing incorrectly and what we needed to do to get our little Winston potty trained and behaviorally trained. In only 5 lessons, we learned so much as did Winston. I can't thank Kim enough for helping us. I would highly, highly recommend Kim--her positive reinforcement style of training and her special way with dogs is unmatched!

We have been bringing our dog here for grooming for the past 14 months, solely because our groomer,…read moreJada, always did a wonderful job. Unfortunately, the management and corporate policies have forced us to find a new salon. During her last couple of visits, our dog accidentally peed by the register upon pickup. Instead of being understanding, the staff simply pointed to the cleaning spray and paper towels and told me to clean it up, not too big of a deal. On her last visit, the grooming took over six hours. When I asked if the dogs are given bathroom breaks during such long stays, I was told it is against corporate policy. Concerned for the well-being of the animals, I called corporate to politely suggest they reconsider this policy for pets left there for extended periods. Instead of taking the feedback, Petco chose to retaliate. When we arrived for our scheduled appointment today, Jada had to inform us that corporate had canceled our appointment and blacklisted our dog from being groomed because they "weren't comfortable" anymore and feared "other issues could arise." It is deeply disappointing that a massive pet care company would ban a loyal customer simply for questioning a policy that keeps dogs crated for six hours without a bathroom break. If they are this defensive over a basic question about animal welfare, it makes you wonder what else they are trying to hide. Take your pets elsewhere.

Our lab is high energy, full of love, playfulness, and equal amounts of being ornery. That mixed with bringing home a brand new baby wasn't going to work. So we did some research and came across this program. After speaking with Tommy, he took the time to explain the program and why they do what they do. It put me at ease to know that our sweet pup would be in the hands of people who actually care. He will still be loved and cared for alongside his training program. While in training, we got constant pictures, videos, and updates of our pup from our trainer Amanda. That helped put our hearts at ease as we missed him every day! We saw things he was working on with the trainer, how he was responding and even got to see pictures and videos of them working with him in public at public venues that allow dogs. We got to see his progress and see that he was well taken care of and treated with love and care. We chose the 2 week training program with boarding, and even though It was hard to leave our pup for 2 weeks, it was the best decision we ever made!!! When boarding the dogs, they are well cared for. They are kept clean, healthy and have special attention time outside of just training. They also allowed us to come to the facility to work with our pup when his training was over. This was to teach us all the ins and outs of what he had learned, and have the trainers guidance as we worked our pup on the different commands. When we welcomed our pup back home after his training, we couldn't have been more impressed! He was still our sweet and loving high-energy puppy, but he had control! He listened to commands, we were able to create boundaries at home, he no longer jumped on us but could be excited and contain himself. He was a brand new dog, but yet still the sweet, fun-loving dog we knew! Most importantly, he was gentle and easy with our newborn baby girl. We no longer worry if he is going to jump on us as we are carrying her or jump on the furniture when we are sitting with her. Instead, he sits next to us or walks alongside us as her protector. One of the best parts of this training is knowing that we have lifetime support from K9 Solutions. When you do a board and train, you will get lifetime support from them to do refresher courses if needed. It is so reassuring to know that if we need additional help, they will be there for us at no additional charge! If it wasn't for Tommy's confidence in his program and reassurance that our pup would come back the same pup but better, I don't know what we would have done. I could tell the love that Tommy had for what he does and that was all I needed to know. Our trainer Amanda was phenomenal! You can tell she is a pro and natural at what she does! And you can tell she loves what she does! Her love, care, and commitment to the pups she is training is evident and we couldn't be more thankful to her for all she did for our pup! She even did an at home check with us 2 weeks after brought him home to make sure there was no regression! He was so excited to see her, and it was like he was ready to work again, knowing who she was! We highly recommend K9 Solutions and their training programs! They are professionals that care about the dogs, and take pride and dedication in what they do. This is one of the most well rounded training programs that is run for all the right reasons. If you are considering training for your pup, look no further! We are forever grateful for them and what they did for our pup!
