I want the best for my puppies, so I asked so many different people where and how they trained their dogs. I received a few suggestions, but decided to do my own search...and I'm glad I did. Leo (Owner) and his amazing team of trainers TRULY care about the pups they train. Leo came to my home and wanted to meet me and my pups before I had to decide on making any decisions. After sitting down with him for about half an hour, I knew I found what I was looking for: Someone who wants me to have healthy and happy dogs. I signed up for the in-home training at first which is Leo coming to the house and training me on how to train my puppies (Archie and Charlie just turned 6 months and started with Leo and his team when they were 4.5). Very quickly, I realized I could not handle training both these puppies the way they needed to be trained. I discussed with Leo and decided to do a Board & Train. I like the schedule because I get to take the puppies on the weekends to spend time with me. Don't get me wrong, you NEED to train your pups on the weekends, but it's worth it and FUN. Archie has become the Puppy King (no offense to other puppies or their owners )). Charlie has a lot more energy, but has improved immensely! Leo's trainers are so caring. I feel my dogs get love with their training when they're not with me, and I couldn't ask for more. I see their excitement whenever I visit about improvements and milestones that Archie and Charlie achieved. They gleam with as much pride as I do. I honestly don't know where my pups OR I would be without the help of this AMAZING Team! If I could give 10 stars out of 5 stars, I would!

A week after we brought our adopted pitbull puppy home, we felt completely helpless when she…read morestarted peeing in the house, biting everything, crying in the crate nonstop, etc. We reached out to a few dog trainers on Yelp and Kelev K9 replied right away. A few minutes later Leo called us and asked questions about the situation. Some basic tips he gave us over the phone saved our sanity until he came to our house a few days later for a free consultation. The consultation made it clear how experienced and passionate Leo is about dog training, so we decided to sign with him that same day. After one session we felt much more confident in training our dog and saw the "light at the end of the tunnel". Over the past 5 months and four training sessions, we have seen day and night improvement in her behavior. If you feel lost and out of control with how to train your dog or want to continue their training, Kelev K9 should be your first call. Leo is always ready to help out with any questions or concerns we have by text or phone call. Pricing is also extremely fair and was a worthwhile investment for us because we have our sanity back and have bonded so deeply with our dog through training. Thank you so much Leo, Breanna, and the whole team at Kelev K-9!

Shay spent time assessing his behavior and what was best for him and looked at everything from the standpoint of his welfare, which I love. She gave me very specific advice and also taught me so much more about the dog world. In a way that makes so much sense, I really wish I had the knowledge she gave before I went to the shelter. Don't hesitate calling her if you're like me and you're at your wits end and don't know what to do. She's a great teacher, and has a lot of valuable knowledge about animal behavior and communication. I recommend her and will be using her services in the future if I need it.

Kaitlyn is the type of person who takes pride in her craft and will love your fur child like her own. Her patience, communication, and genuine care were evident from day one. She took the time to understand Nellie's personality, walked us through the process every step of the way, and made sure we felt confident and prepared to continue the training at home. What stood out most was how personalized the experience felt. Kaitlyn tailored her approach to Nellie specifically, and the results speak for themselves. Nellie came home happier, more confident, and so much better behaved than I ever expected.

This is the best decision I ever made for me and one of my dogs. I have had dogs in the past and I…read morealways thought it was fine that because they were well loved and loyal, they were pretty obedient. I thought that that was enough. When I adopted my current dog, Cinqué, I had never had a puppy as young as he was, and I was not necessarily prepared for his energy level or for some of his behavior. I researched and visited many places before I decided on CANIS. From my initial meeting, I felt comfortable, and I felt very well informed about what the short-term and long-term goals were for me and my guy. I decided on the one year program and admit I was initially taken aback at the cost, it's certainly not cheap, but after just the first round of board and train, it's been so worth the investment. I went from a puppy who, although he has always been friendly and playful, and sweet, was jokingly described as constantly being in raptor mode to a dog that I can already take out to dog-friendly public spaces. We recently went to the Lazy Dog Café, and it was actually a really nice afternoon. We received compliments from other dog owners about how well behaved he was, even though he was only a puppy! We just finished Nature Dog I, which he loved, and we both learned so much. I'm really excited to continue in all the other classes that we can participate in as part of the one year program. Having a dog that I can take into public spaces with me, travel with, and have off leash in the outdoors with absolute confidence that he's going to behave exactly as I want him to is something I never even thought was possible. While we are waiting for his second round of board and train, he goes to Day Club there. He actually cries from excitement when we pull up. When he sees his friends from class, he's so excited. Not one person on the staff there isn't wonderful. Jen was his trainer and she was fantastic! She was so great about working with me with him and keeping me informed of all the things she was doing with him so that I was able to continue with his training at home. Hunter who leads some of the group classes and the front office people, Aaron and Jeremy are just top shelf! Brent is a very hands-on owner. You will see him almost every day that you are there and he teaches some of the group classes as well. If I haven't raved enough, it should be really clear that I'm just so happy then I made the decision to work with them. I'm really looking forward to continuing Cinqué's journey there.

After one session, the tension and enmity between us and our dogs, who would pull so hard as to strain our shoulders, dissipated and transformed into a bond of equanimity, calm, and harmony. His methodology is elegant and relies neither on treats (rendering dogs into performative circus animals) nor stilted domination (fear, intimidation, or punishment). His approach is straightforward and makes intuitive sense, like wisdom remembered in the Platonic sense. Yet interventional execution is technically precise, requiring self-discipline, patience, and compassion for oneself.
