My Rottweiler was immediately very receptive. The structure, the material, and the plans set for us gave us the consistency and confidence I needed to train him. Because of the unique methods and tools used based on the superior experience of the extraordinary team at Got Your Back K9 Life training became an instant success, and we accomplished remarkable results within a short period of time. George analyzed Grogu's personality, which the Got Your Back K9 Life team based the training on my 8-month-old Rottweiler should receive. All the various training methods are explained and demonstrated in a way that is easy to understand, implement and practice. In closing I would like to emphasize that the training Grogu and I received saved us from injury and liability at a recent altercation in a dog park where Grogu stayed sit (based on my "stay sit" command) despite being charged by a smaller dog several times. Again thank you so much for all you do to keep dogs and their owners safe, George and the entire Got Your Back K9 Life team! It is never too early to start training your dog and Got Your Back K9 Life is the only place I am trusting with Grogu's and my life. Dr. Andreas Heinrich

Ryan from K-9 KPro has come to meet my furry little crackhead, Heidi. She is a McNab, which is a…read morebreed of California cattle dog who loves to chase cattle for hours across the northern CA hillsides. She is a constant demon, but the minute he walked in, she was a tranquil-ish, and readily began to (sort of) follow his commands. We originally saw Ryan working with training a dog at St. Johns Town Center on the crowded sidewalks. He had that dog tightly following commands and expected behaviors. The dog looked like they had a "mind meld" with Ryan, because of how well it behaved walking through all the people and cars. Perfect behavior. So we are super excited to begin training next month with the Beginner in-home program. Following that we have already committed to going straight into the Intermediate at-home training. We had a minor hiccup with our original interaction, but the staff made it right quickly. So we appreciate not only a great trainer, but the staff who back up his work was great, also. Can't wait to see what happens with our overly excitable - hyper active little cattle herding pup!

Rayna did a lot of training in 3 weeks for a 6 month puppy. Great job. Enjoyed working with you.read more

My…read morepack includes David, a 13-year-old Shih Tzu mix; Zoey, an 8-year-old Doberman; and Alice, a 2-year-old Doberman who's been doing service dog training with Devon. Not only has Devon helped Alice with her specialized training, but they've also worked with Zoey and David on refresher lessons and day-to-day living strategies to make managing three very different dogs much easier. Devon's approach is amazing--they adjust their training methods to align with what I'm comfortable with, creating a collaborative and supportive experience. It's never about right or wrong; it's about finding what works best for you and your dog. We've done in-person lessons and board-and-trains, and every time, Alice comes home better than when she left. Alice adores Devon, and knowing she's happy and in such capable hands makes all the difference. Devon is easy to communicate with, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly cares about the well-being of every dog they work with. I can't recommend them enough

I wasn't sure how he would do woth other animals but Devon immediately assured me that they would be able to handle Kapano in their house for his boarding! I was impressed as he came back more confident and mannered around other dogs. I was consistently sent updates and photos of him throughout his stay and made to feel more than welcome to visit. He also came back to me in better shape in terms of muscle! If there was anything Devon had questions about they had no issues contacting me right away to let me know or ask about, I felt very comfortable and safe with my dog remaining under Devons care. I had never had to leave my dog with anyone before so i was reasonably worried as he's been my bestfriend for 6 years but i am EXTREMELY satisfied with Devons services and will continue to use devon for any training/boarding related needs for the future. I cannot recommend Arcane Canine enough! And thank you Devon for taking the best care of my boy when I needed it the most you are amazing!

Wally and Edith are caring, consistent, and patient with their human and canine clients. We trained…read moreour lab Mollie with them years ago. She earned her Canine Good Citizenship. She was gentle and trustworthy and reliably well-mannered throughout her life. She passed away when she was 15 years old. Her training made her final days easier on her because even though she was deaf, she recognized visual commands. The veterinarian and vet techs were able to show her what they wanted her to do rather than manhandle her. It was one thing that made a difficult time better. Now we are training a rescue with them. He has exhibited some territorial and dominance behavior at home. They are helping us work through this with behavioral training and dietary changes. I strongly recommend Scheurman's k9 Academy.

After talking to several trainers I chose him based on the rapport I thought we had developed and his understanding of exactly what I want to accomplish with my dog. Although he was substantially more expensive than the other trainers I figured it's my dog and it won't be cheap no matter what. He was willing to allow me to make payments on it as well so I was very excited. When I dropped my dog off I gave him 500 cash and I was told I would start to receive videos within 3-4 weeks. A week or two later I brought him another 500 in cash. I work out of town a lot so I was really excited for my videos to start. It was shortly after that the excuses started. I heard for weeks how my dog tried to bite his wife. If that's true the wife clearly did something to my dog. She has never shown any sign of aggression to anyone ever! Then I heard for weeks that they cannot train her because of the rain. Really? You have my dog 24hrs a day! Then I kept hearing she's stubborn and won't stay. Another excuse. Your being paid 6635 to train her! It was about 4-5 weeks in that I started getting really worried. Not only do I not have any videos of my dogs progress yet, THEY ARE NOW NOT ANSWERING MY CALLS! The communication at that point went to almost nothing. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE MY DOG IS or what's going on because they meet in a parking lot on the side of a run down business. After weeks of calling and texting both Wally and Edith I finally get a response when they will be around to accept more money from me. I gave them another 2000 in cash and I just asked to send me pictures of my dog. It took over a week of calls and texts to just get a receipt for the 2000 I gave them. I was also told in email I would have a picture that night or the next day. I NEVER RECEIVED A PICTURE OR VIDEO OF MY DOG!! My 4yo daughter cried many nights because she only wanted a picture of her dog. These people didn't care about that. Weeks after asking for the first picture he finally tells me that the pictures were too blurry to send. In this day and age of technology all you can say is the pictures were blurry. When I am finally able to pick-up my dog I'm told I have a 180 dollar vet bill. Turns out my dog had a breakout from stress!! The date from the vet bill was the day after my original pick-up day! Seems funny. Not to mention you've had my dog for 12-13 weeks and she's getting stressed from training now?? The dog was stressed from a cram training last minute session. Still having to give her treats for commands after 12WEEKS of training. I understand why he would only accept cash on pick-up. He told me people have taken their dogs then stop the payment. He even tells me about all these other unhappy customers after they have picked up their dogs. Each story had the same thing in common. ITS THE OWNERS FAULT. I was told by Wally (once the dog was home) she should be in a crate or on a leash at all times, even in my home... I didn't pay 7000 to keep my dog in a crate!! We went to one "private session"with him that was a joke. 10-15 minutes is all the time he had for me. What can 15 minutes teach me? My dog has been evaluated by several AKC regesterd trainers and a K9 officer that we are currently working with and they all said to stay away from Wally and his IF YOU WANT A REAL ADVANCED OBEDIENCE DOG WITH A FOUNDATION FOR OTHER WORK DOWN THE ROAD, STAY AWAY

Second appointment: no call no show. This time they blamed the fact that the trainer hurt his back two days prior. No one could reach the trainer so it was assumed it had to do with an injury that they knew about two days prior yet couldn't be bothered to reach us. They then assumed we would still be available since we scheduled a 2.5 hour block and were rude about why we were upset. We explained that when we booked this block it was with the understanding that we had other appointments. Employee on the phone said if the situation didn't affect customers why should they notify us? As if sitting here wasting my day off waiting for them to not show isn't affecting me.
