This was a wonderful investment for me as a first time dog owner. I did the AKC STAR puppy classes…read morewhich came with 6 private lessons and 2 half day PAL socialization sessions. Our trainer, Kelly was thorough and very knowledgeable. Going in, my puppy was very energetic, jumpy and all over the place. By the time we were done with our individualized classes, I felt so much more confident in my ability to care for him and keep him safe and felt like I was in so much more control. My puppy was super excited as soon as we turned into the parking lot each time, he loved Kelly and enjoyed the PAL program. I still continue to take him to PAL for their half day socialization when I can! I love knowing that the play time is supervised and they'll do what's necessary to ensure proper socialization! We definitely recommend K-Nine solutions!!

She helped us teach our dog to walk calmly right next to us, come reliably when called, and how to correct unwanted behaviors immediately and effectively. Ronit also gave us some really helpful tips on easing our dog's anxiety during car rides, which have been super helpful. She's patient, knowledgeable, and truly understands dog behavior. I'm so glad we worked with her -- highly recommend her training if you're looking for real results with a gentle, clear approach!

I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for some help with their dog, young or old.

With Eric's guidance, we've watched our cattle dog gain confidence and transition into a much better state of mind. She is able to focus better, listen to commands, and make better decisions even with distractions around her. She has become a much more happier, playful dog and will even play with our friends and family, which is a huge change from the scared dog she was before. The progress has been incredible and everyone around us has noticed the difference. Eric continues to work closely with us, tailoring his training to fit both our dog's unique needs and our daily lives. As our dog grows, the training evolves too, helping us navigate new challenges and build on our progress. The Follow The Leader K9 team is outstanding. We can't recommend them enough. Reaching out to them was one of the best decisions we've ever made.

I rescued my dog Bailey a little over three months ago, and like many rescue dogs, she had her fair…read moreshare of challenges. She showed signs of separation anxiety, crate aversion, general nervousness, and didn't seem super comfortable around other dogs. Right away, after reading positive after positive review, I enrolled her in this training program, and it's been an absolute game changer! After a short overnight board and train, she came back crate trained -- like magic. She settled into her crate that first night back at home (relatively no drama!), and now she can sleep pretty peacefully in it whether we're home or traveling. She's also now comfortable staying alone when I'm at work vs the constant supervision that was needed initially. Any time I run into a roadblock with her training at home, the team is always there to offer off the clock recommendations and methods to try. She now does off-leash pack walks with the group and coexists with all the other good dogs there. It's honestly more progress than I could've hoped for this early on. She still goes to daycare and occasional training where I get to join and learn alongside her. We continue to work on new things and ways for her to be a better and better dog and I can see it resulting in her being happier and happier as well! Eric and the whole team (Katia, Alondra, Jeff...you guys are awesome!!) are simply fantastic. I'm so grateful I found this program -- it's made such a difference in both of our lives! Highly recommend.

I want her to have fun at dog parks and the beach. Now she can! Thank you , Nathan. You know what you're doing. The staff is also great and helped me when I had to drop her off each day. The best thrill was the last day when we went to the beach and my happy pup ran around with the happy ears flopping, always staying close enough and coming on command. She said hi to a few fellow canines and had the best time, all the while paying attention to me. Now the worry and stress I had is gone. I've got the perfect pup now!

Anne Swan of Perfect Puppy Academy is simply the best! I first met her about 12 years ago when she…read moretrained my sister-in-law's goldendoodle, so naturally, I called her to sign up at Perfect Puppy Academy with our new golden retriever puppy. We took 2 puppy classes with her and have also engaged her to come to our home for some private classes. She is helping us work through some oddities with our puppy, like figuring out how to get our dog to get in the car... something she isn't keen to do. Or figuring out why she becomes scared when you sit something on top of her crate, like a shoe! Anne is amazing at putting herself into a dog's mind and understanding what they may be thinking. Anne's all about positive puppy training, which jives with our values. She is really incredible at how she has such firm control over our puppy in such a short period. She is literally the dog whisperer. She whispers to our puppy, who stops everything to listen to what she's saying. I've never seen anything like it! Anne's classes and home visits are both fairly affordable, but it's important to practice at home the things she teaches you. She packs a tremendous amount of information into her lessons, so pay close attention and take notes! If you can consistently do what Anne says, you will wind up with a well-behaved dog who is a good citizen that people will want to hang out with. That's really the bottom line and the best thing you can do for your pup. It's easy to give Anne and Perfect Puppy Academy my highest 5-star recommendation.

I was used to traning Bernners and Golden retrievers so this was a brand new experience for me.

Our JR was not food motivated and I had a hard time training her with toys. Even though my puppy was not the perfect puppy in the class I gained so so so much helpful information from Anne. I considered it a mommy and me class just for puppies. If you are looking for a puppy class or a trainer perfect puppy academy with Anne is the way to go.
