If you are reading this, your search for dog training stops here. This is the place you need and…read morethey will change your life! This sounds a little over the top BUT I'm not lying. I tell our trainers Katie and Nicole all of the time that they are life savers. We brought our puppy here at 1 years old - a small wild, energetic Jack Russell who knew every time I was on a video meeting to bark his head off and embarrass me EVERY TIME! Walks were out of the question since he would pull on the leash to the point he would choke himself... sitting on the deck was a nightmare in our own backyard because he would bark at the wind (yes, the wind), the leaves moving, the birds and obviously the neighbors. Does this sound familiar? I questioned my decision of getting a puppy and then I found Max K9. We did a 3 week Board & Train where I was super hesitant of dropping him off (because no one wants to leave their baby anywhere), but they were so good with sending video progress and pictures and including my husband and I in the process. I joke with everyone that I think they implanted a program into his brain! Lol! The transformation was unreal. We were instantly able to communicate with him and actually go on a walk.. outside in the real world. What a breath of fresh air, literally! Max K9 has given us the ability to live an active lifestyle and have our pup enjoy it with us. Hikes, traveling, morning walks, trips to the store, brewery visits, long car rides out of state... you name it. I would do it all over again if I had to without a question. So if you've made it this far, thanks for reading. I hope this helps you make your decision to having a better relationship with your pup and enjoying life with them every step of the way.

I am SO thankful for Sherry at Maximum K9. I don't know if I can put into words how helpful she has…read morebeen in training our Stormie. Stormie is a rescue who we adopted in 2019 and underwent 2 surgeries in 2021 due to bilateral CCL surgery. She was cooped up for an extended amount of time during recovery. We were unable to take her outside without her reacting to other dogs and sometimes even people. Stormie even gave us difficulty when we wanted to go for a short walk. It was so frustrating and difficult taking her out in public that we needed help. We have heard of Maximum K9 from many of our friends and even the great reviews I've seen on dog groups and online. I called to inquire about the types of training (group vs. individual) and it was clear that we needed to take private lessons. We signed up for a package of 6 lessons with Sherry that were one hour long for 6 consecutive weeks. Our first day, Sherry got to know about Stormie's behaviors - positive and negative, what we were having difficulty with and what our goals were. Sherry worked with us each week when training Stormie (and me) on how to modify or progress a skill. We learned how to heel, which we never were taught from another trainer elsewhere, and the importance of heel. We were given homework on what to practice from the training sessions to continue our work outside of the facility. Sherry helped Stormie become less dog reactive in a safe manner at Maximum K9. Stormie was slowly exposed to the board and train dogs in the facility that had various levels of size and temperament. Each week, Stormie learned how to follow her commands and not react to different dogs. With Sherry's consistent training, Stormie was able to heel with me in a circle with other dogs and sit next to them without any reaction at all. I cannot find the words to thank Sherry for helping Stormie and myself. I came into Maximum K9 with Stormie trying to pull my arm off and reacting to dogs in the lobby to now leaving with my arm back intact and her in a nice heel. I will refer all my dog lovers and friends to Maximum K9 and Sherry going forward! Thank you again!

If I had to sum up our training with Gia in a sentence... it is absolutely the kindest thing we…read morecould have possibly done for our reactive dog. Please excuse the essay as I explain... We got our dog as a rescue puppy at just shy of 8 weeks. He had issues since we got him, including growling when handled, fear of dogs/other people/a leaf blowing in the wind (not kidding) which presented itself as barking and lunging. We initially worked with a trainer who used a prong collar and said we needed to be stricter which did not help and in retrospect may have worsened his behaviors. We have worked with Gia virtually (FaceTime/zoom) for 5 months and have seen tremendous progress for our pup. The initial consultation was like having a psychiatric evaluation of your dog - it was so interesting! The questions that she asked and her reasoning behind why he was reacting were so helpful. We meet virtually either once a week or once every 2-3 weeks on different behaviors (as you can guess he has a lot of phobias), and she gives us homework and techniques to try between lessons. We have "gone" with her on multiple field trips including home depot, dog parks, downtown, neighborhoods with bikes/skate boards and the virtual format works perfectly. During this time we also got our dog started and ant-anxiety medication and Gia was also able to provide guidance on that based on her experiences with other dogs. She is always available via text/phone, provides feedback or answers questions if we run into problems between sessions, and her social media platforms give us ideas and suggestions for our dog as she has a lot of clients struggling with similar issues. We used to be unable to take our dog literally steps out the apartment door without him reacting and having a meltdown. I was afraid to be in certain situations with him as I was unsure of how to manage it. Although I recognize our dog may never like all people or dogs (and hey what person does!?), Gia has helped our dog to become safer, happier, and less stressed (and in turn us too!) in the most humane, kind way all while explaining to us why/what is going on with us. Gia - we can't thank you enough!!!

Usually has most things in stock even hard to find items that you can't find in chain stores like Petco etc. , and one thing they have that doesn't exist in a chain store ---EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!

If there's something you need, just call and check on it. They're happy to check in stock, They also have a website you can order through that too, 99.9% of the time what you're looking for is a stocked item,and on the rare occasion that it is not or you have an item as I did a special cat food recommended by the vet they did not have on the shelf they called another location, had it there for me the next day! I also have a bad back and I cannot carry large bags of dog food for my dog....put my back out once they had the food delivered to my house free of charge which is a service they offer as well; if I go to the store, they are happy to bring it to my car for me if needed. In short, go here, I highly recommend it.
