She's very thorough and her experience shows through in her lessons. She taught us lots of training tips and asked me to write down all the notes to practice at home. From day one after her training, bella started to master the concept of various commands, and she has been a lot more responsive, especially around distractions. The in home lessons that she offers is exactly what we were looking for for our puppy. She not only has helped train our puppy, but also helped train our handling skills. The two hours with Brianna has boosted my confidence to raise the best dog for my family. I can't say enough about Brianna, and we absolutely love her

5/5 -- My Third Dog With Walker K9, and There's a Reason I Keep Coming Back…read more I waited several months after completing training with Walker K9 Training before writing this review because I wanted to ensure that the results were truly lasting. Now, months later, I can say with total confidence that enrolling my dogs with Walker K9 continues to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. This is not my first experience with Walker K9--this is actually the third dog I've entrusted to their program. That alone should tell you the level of confidence and trust I have in them. Whenever I need guidance, experienced handling, or advanced training, Walker K9 is the only team I rely on. They have become my go-to experts, and the results have never been anything short of exceptional. This time, I brought them my two female Cane Corso littermates--an extremely challenging combination due to the high risk of littermate syndrome. Littermates can become overly dependent on each other, react fearfully, develop competitive aggression, and struggle with independence. With powerful working breeds like Corsos, these challenges can escalate quickly. And they did. That's when I knew I needed the best professional help available, and once again, Walker K9 Training delivered beyond expectations. I enrolled each Corso separately in their 6-week board-and-train program. Separating them to build individual foundations was critical, and it was handled with absolute expertise. Chad, Cole, and Kelly took their time--never rushing, always prioritizing what each dog truly needed. They even extended training time when necessary to ensure the fundamentals weren't just taught, but deeply rooted. The transformation was incredible. My first Corso returned home more confident, calm, structured, and responsive. When the second pup completed her program and both girls reunited, the difference was night and day. They cohabitate beautifully now with none of the previous tension or behavioral issues. Today, I can place both dogs on "place" or "down-stay" anytime--indoors, outdoors, around distractions--and trust their impulse control. Their obedience is reliable because Walker K9 didn't just train them; they empowered me with the knowledge to maintain and reinforce their new skills. I continued feeding separately, practicing their commands, and providing daily structure--all built on Walker K9's guidance. And the experience goes far beyond training alone. Walker K9's program offers: Spa days Play and enrichment sessions Socialization opportunities Grooming and nail trims Clean, calm, good-smelling pups returned home It's a premium experience that reflects genuine passion for dogs and pride in the quality of their work. I have yet to find another program that blends elite training, individualized care, and thoughtful touches the way Walker K9 does. There is no other program like this. If you're hesitating because of cost, please understand: This isn't a cost--it's an investment in your dog's future and your own peace of mind. Especially for strong, intelligent breeds like Cane Corsos, proper training is not optional. It's essential. Walker K9 Training has changed the lives of three of my dogs. They have changed my household. And they have forever earned my trust. To Chad, Cole, and Kelly--thank you for your dedication, your patience, and your unmatched expertise. You make dog ownership joyful, structured, and stress-free. I could not recommend you more.

We ended up getting help with a bunch of other habits of Ben's that were a little annoying, and he has responded to the interventions almost immediately. He's better at walking nicely now, and we no longer have to chase him around the yard when we want him to come in at night. We cannot recommend Applied Canine Behaviors more highly!

Andrew spent an hour or two at the house, observing the dogs and talking to us about what we were hoping to accomplish relative to what he was seeing. Before leaving, he gave us a couple of simple things to work on prior to the start of our consecutive board-and-train sessions two weeks later. Frankie and Ellie are now back with us and while they still have enormous amounts of energy, their ability to respond to commands, walk with a loose leash (zero pulling) and maintain their "place" is incredible! Selective use of the e-collars has even allowed us to redirect their attention in the midst of their loudest, most raucous roughhousing episodes. We can't recommend Andrew enough. He has a way that brings about significant behavioral changes in the dogs while building the confidence of owners: it's amazing to witness the transformations. We are so grateful that we found Andrew and would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking to reconnect and improve their relationship with their dog(s)!
