My dog was with Kaimen for months for obedience and gun dog training. It's never easy to drop your puppy off with someone for months, as soon as we met Kaimen all the worries definitely faded. I believe he has a very calm and slow to anger demeanor which is very important when training dogs. My biggest worry with getting my dog trained was the person I was leaving them with and the ways they trained. I was concerned my dog's demeanor would be changed and he wouldn't have the same personality of the dog I dropped off. That was not the case! Kaimen did an excellent job of training my dog and kept his personality with him! I enjoyed working with juniper creek and would recommend them to everyone! Will most definitely be my only choice for the future!

I know there are discussions online right now, but I wanted to share my own perspective and…read moreexperience. From what I have personally seen very recently, the dogs at Angier K9 have appeared cared for, active, and engaged. I've also seen the amount of work being put into training, cleaning, structure, and communication. They also continue to work alongside local rescues and receive referrals from them. No kennel or training environment is perfect, and dogs can absolutely experience stress, weight changes, stomach issues, or adjustment periods during boarding and training. These things can happen in many types of facilities, especially in environments involving routine changes, increased activity, and time away from home. I also think there is a difference between poor communication, unmet expectations, business disputes, and actual abuse. That is a very serious accusation and I believe it's important for people to look at the full picture, ask questions, tour facilities, and make decisions based on direct observation and their own experience rather than assuming everything written online is automatically proven fact. I appreciate seeing the effort toward transparency, education, and continued improvement.

-updating my review to discuss the recents changes at Angier K9:…read moreAngier k9 (run by Christian Scharphorn & Kelton Azuara-Walker) have only just recently made changes to their "backyard" "training". These changes were only made because they have had 2 lawsuits and at least one dog death, have been investigated by animal control and were told they were not taking care of the dogs properly, and as many as 15-20 dogs/owners have had their dogs returned very sick and injured and NOT trained! -They are acting as if these new changes have always been put in place. -Dog owners are now speaking out publicly because individually we were made to feel like our dogs were the only one this happened to. This is NOT just a little weight loss or stress due to the environment. I have not found any other "board and training" with as many complaints as this place. -They left our dogs in an outdoor cage for 6 weeks when we were told they would be inside when not being directly trained. -Everything you see in their recents video was NOT there before this month (5/2026) and they have been running this sketchy business for several years! -They are still lying in their videos saying they have "kennel technicians" working 12-14 hours a taking care of your dog in these new outdoor kennels but yet they do not show the technicians? -If Christian & Kelton can show me proof that my dogs slept inside, or was kept in something like they are now showing in the "new videos".....I want to see it. I want to see video of them being "trained". My dogs already knew all the basics and didn't learn anything new! -Shouldn't they have tons of videos and pictures like they claim they send to the owners of my dogs too? Well, guess what.....they don't because they didn't do anything they agreed to do with and for my dogs!!! -6 weeks of board & train by self proclaimed backyard trainers who fooled me into thinking they were real.....took my dogs, took my money and all I got was sick and injured dogs with vet bills. They had hookworms, lost a lot of weight, ear and eye infections, and elbow scans! -Look up the law suits, look up the complaints, then search other local training places online. They don't have issues like Angier K9!! -Angier K9 (Christian & Kelton) are nothing but glorified dog walkers who will teach your dog to sit and place while neglecting them!! That's all!!

His foster before I adopted him had been working with him for months with little improvement. I tried everything I could find online and was starting to lose hope. In just ONE session (an hour and a half), Adam not only helped alleviate his barking, but also taught me and my family exactly what to do and how to do it and made sure we were fully equipped with the proper techniques to continue training on our own. Adam is extremely caring and considerate of his clients. He not only did an amazing job in just one session for a pretty significant issue, but he also made sure he gave us reasonable suggestions that wouldn't take up a lot of extra time/money/energy. I'm astonished at the improvement in just one day! 10/10 recommend!!
