We visited another dog trainer in the area who told us we should either put on a shock collar or consider adopting her out!! We couldn't believe it! We called New Levels Dog Training and talked with Linda. What a great conversation! We discussed our troubles with whining and the frustration with other trainers' suggestions. She came to our house and immediately began helping us. Her techniques and advice really helped and we saw improvements right away. After a weeks worth of testing out Linda's suggestions, we had a new dog! The whining was nearly eliminated and our house was calm and relaxed again! Linda was also kind enough to call to check-up on us! What a great experience and sound advice! :)

Levi absolutely loved this structured socializing hour and had a blast. On top of making a new doberman bestie, we also got a lot of training tips and advice from the trainer, Charisma. We even worked on a little loose leash training and a new trick called "place." I wasn't expecting so much for only $10! After our first social hour, Levi became the most loving puppy ever! What was once an energizer bunny is now a chill and cuddly K-9. I don't know what magic they did to my dog but I highly recommend bringing your puppy here!! I truly wish I didn't spend all my money on another training business because I would've loved for Levi to do their day training program. I really hope they have an adult dog social hour in the future. Levi is rapidly outgrowing the rest of these puppies and would love an adult doggy date.

I don't like to leave him with anyone I don't trust and these guys 100% have my trust to keep my boy safe. In training classes you can tell staff are very tuned into each dog. Time is taken to assess each dog's behavior and how to correct it if need be. They teach you how to communicate with your dog so you can take that with you and apply it outside of the class. Classes are offered in the evening which is very convenient for people who work a traditional 8-5. Daycare is fantastic too. Professionals watch over dogs each day. They are separated by age, size, and temperament. Cots are provided inside and outside there is a large fenced in area where each group can play. When we turn into the driveway my dog whines and starts bouncing around the car. Although reasonably well behaved he will damn near pull me to their door - he loves it here.

The only thing he managed to learn was how to sit and he doesn't do that half the time.

If you have a rambunctious puppy or a mature dog who has some bad habits, I highly recommend Simply Balanced K9 for you and your dog.

Lauren taught me consistency is what not just a service dog needs, it's what dogs and their owners need! Love this women owned business!!!

We adopted Cooper from the SPCA last June. He is a lab mix; sixty-five pounds. He is a sweet boy,…read morebut needed to learn some manners. Four lessons later and Cooper is doing great. He listens! He comes when called, sits, places, and we are still working on heel and down (because his human needs to be more confident - not because he isn't smart). Special shout out to Diana, who was extremely kind and patient with me. I needed more training than Cooper. ;) Diana is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, caring, and all around just great to work with! Highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training and now we are looking into So Fetch for future adventures! You will not be disappointed if you take your dog to Off Leash K9 Training for training. You and your dog will both benefit and your bond will be enhanced!

At least one of the owners of the facility is always on site and in my experience, they're very invested in the well-being of their customers - again, dogs AND humans!

Very pleased - we're new here but so far, great experience!

*This review is only pertaining to grooming…read more Staff very friendly on arrival - female at counter took notes on type of grooming desired "all over, full body trim" for my Australian Shepherd. (A bit odd the groomer herself was not speaking with me directly but put faith in her being a professional and my dog being somewhat common/well-known breed.) I specifically stated no shave. I'm all for a summer cut, but my baby was sheared! About 0.5-1in left on her, shaved her belly, and nicked her paws (discovered after we got home). Totally took away from integrity of the breed and it's cut. The technique used did not look anywhere near professional.

Oh my goodness! I have to say that I was nervous about letting my baby boy leave me for so long,…read morebut it was definitely worth it. When Hania visited with Theo before I made the decision to take the leap she was so impressive. She spent time to listen to my needs and really get a feel for Theo. She was to put my mind at ease about being apart for so long. Theo has seizures and is on medication and she made certain to get detailed instructions on what medication to give and when as well as what to do should he have a seizure while he was with her. The regular updates were so nice, and look at these pictures she was able to get of him. When I picked him up she was sure to go over the commands, markers, and order so that I was comfortable working with him at home. I have to admit, it took me time to catch up to Theo. He probably thought that I was never going to catch on. I simply cannot say enough good things about Hania and her training.

We struggled with that and heavily with recall outside. We love to hike and camp and want him to be a part of our lives! So we knew we needed to trust him for off leash adventures we would love to take. We cannot say enough great things about Hania, who worked with our dog, JoJo. From day one, her calm, confident, and absolute understanding approach made a huge difference. JoJo struggled with recall and off-leash control, and we weren't sure we'd ever be able to trust him in those situations. But thanks to her expertise, her patience, and training techniques, JoJo has made an incredible transformation. She didn't just train JoJo though, she trained us as well She took the time to teach us how to better understand and communicate with him, helping us build a way stronger bond and give him the structure and freedom he needed to live his best life. She gave daily training updates and that gave us tremendous confidence leading up to picking him up. JoJo now listens reliably, can enjoy off-leash adventures safely, and seems genuinely happier and more confident. Hania gave us the tools to not only manage JoJo's behavior but also to enhance his overall quality of life. It's been truly life-changing for our entire family. We're beyond grateful for her work and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and compassionate dog trainer. She's genuinely one of the best things to happen for us and our JoJo

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!
