Jennings Canine is hands down the best dog trainer in the area (and probably outside of the area,…read moretoo!) we went through three trainers before finding Jennings, and Brian Jennings had our dog fights under control after two sessions. He listens, cares, and creates a plan that works for you AND your dogs. He also trains right in your home (or wherever the unwanted behavior is) so that you know it is being addressed. We've found other trainers to be fine at basic obedience, but not with behavioral issues. Brian is both and more. I cannot recommend him highly enough! Pictured are our three former MMA fighters, now living peaceably in Charlton, MA!

In reading these reviews, I realized that Brian has gone on, after our experience with him nearly…read morethirty years ago, to have a lengthy experience of highly successful dog training. Bravo to him! We hired Brian to help us train our Springer, Beardsley when he was young. As you read here, Brian came to our house, Beardsley fell in love with him and nearly instantly wanted to do whatever, whenever Brian asked. He helped us understand our dog and train him to be the best possible version of human companion imaginable, and Brian's lessons have remained in our heads and been practiced through the acquisition of our family's future pets. I see no need to echo what everyone else here is saying, it's all well-said and entirely true. Brian is worth his weight in gold. But two things I haven't heard here do deserve emphasis. Brian is absolutely great at relating personally to the dog lovers he works for. He empowers them (us) to become good trainers ourselves without mentioning the fact that he's doing so, so that you become adept at how to manage your dog's behavior and understand his inner brain workings by the time the training sessions are completed. This is a very good thing. Also, I have perhaps never had more usable advice in teaching a pet (or a child, even) than when Brian said to me, "Linda, just saying Beardsley's name louder isn't a command. Tell him what you want him to do." (Sit, Stay, Leave it, etc.). The Best of the Best!

Not only is it obvious how much she cares for animals, she had a very good understanding of both emotional and physical illnesses in cats and was able to offer me effective advise regarding daily routines, diet, supplements, food/litter location etc. She also educated me on the importance of having my indoor-only cat wear a collar w/tag at all times. She brought awareness to me of the dangers our pets face if the unexpected happens - i.e. house fire, lost etc. I am so grateful for Shauna and highly recommend her!

I originally reached out to Atlantic K9 Training because my one-year-old Cane Corso/Pittie mix,…read moreBrinley, was getting a little too strong for me to handle. She's incredibly sweet and submissive with other dogs, but she loved to jump on people and had a habit of pulling hard on the leash during walks. At 60 pounds, it was definitely a lot to manage! From the start, Kylie and the Atlantic K9 team were amazing--professional, knowledgeable, and so caring. Brinley attended their two-week bootcamp, and I'll admit, it was hard sending her away for that long with no visits. I was worried she might feel abandoned, but Atlantic K9 made the experience so much easier. They uploaded pictures every day of her playing with other dogs, looking happy and confident, with a smile bigger than I've ever seen on her. It was clear she was having the time of her life--more like a fun vacation than "training camp." When Brinley came home, the transformation was incredible. She has great recall, walks beautifully on leash, and I can now even let her walk off-leash with full confidence. She's learned to stay in her "place," respond to "no" consistently, and--best of all--she no longer jumps on people! I'm so grateful to Kylie and the entire Atlantic K9 team for their compassion, communication, and the amazing results they delivered. Brinley is happier, calmer, and more connected to me than ever. I can't recommend Atlantic K9 Training enough!

We can never thank the team at Atlantic enough for the absolute transformation they did on our…read moreOllie. We reached out the Atlantic at a complete loss of how to help our sweet Ollie boy succeed. They were nothing but kind, communicative and supportive during our initial conversations, and put us completely at ease about sending our boy to the two-week bootcamp, a choice that was incredibly hard for us! Ollie is a five year old Australian Shepherd/Poodle mix who went to training pre-pandemic and has always been incredibly shy with strangers. Before 2020, this manifested as leash reactivity and we were working hard at it when social distancing went into place. Post-pandemic, we tried every method we could find to try and help him with this, but despite all efforts, his reactivity increased tenfold to include dogs and small children. Sometimes he would he completely fine, and other times, he would aggressively bark and lunge at dogs and kids. It was so stressful that we started keeping him away from other dogs, and our small nieces and nephews to be safe. Ollie's alert barking additionally reached an all time high in the summer of 2023, and his counter-surfing was out of control. We decided it was officially time to get professional help. My husband and I want to start a family soon, and were terrified to think that Ollie's unpredictability could jeopardize his relationship with our future kids. His alert barking was creating a near-constant level of stress in our home, and we couldn't imagine how Ollie would be able to function happily or be involved as our family continues to grow. Throughout the two weeks of bootcamp, we got daily communication about Ollie's progress from the team and pictures of him playing happily during break times. Most importantly, however, K-9 Atlantic has completely transformed our boy, and given us the utmost confidence that Ollie will be the BEST big brother someday. He is literally like a different dog in all of the best ways. He's still our sweet, snuggly, silly boy, but without all of the incessant barking and sneakiness! His reactivity is now basically nonexistent, and he happily plays with our little nieces and nephews when they come over! He is a rockstar on and off-leash. We've even slowly integrated meeting new dogs in controlled settings, and he has been so very successful. He hasn't even counter surfed (despite us purposely leaving chicken on the counter in his reach in order to practice!!!!). Ollie's newfound confidence shines in his ability to meet new people and have experiences without all of the anxiety that he displayed prior to his time at K-9 Atlantic. He is the best version of himself, and we are so beyond proud of the good boy his has become!!! I don't know what magic the K-9 Atlantic team did with him while he was training, but we cannot believe that he is the same dog. He has been SO good, and an absolute angel while practicing. We are beyond grateful for everyone at Atlantic for truly transforming our boy and our lives. We can never thank you enough!
