I highly recommend Bobby at Positive Changes Dog Training! I'm honestly pretty picky when it comes…read moreto dog trainers because I used to work at a doggy daycare so I'm familiar with different training styles and really wanted someone who actually knew what they were doing. I wanted a trainer who leaned toward positive reinforcement but also understood that every dog is different and sometimes you need to use different techniques depending on the situation. I originally wanted to do group classes but was nervous about being around a bunch of dogs and owners who weren't prepared. I really liked that Positive Changes has you do private training first, which made me feel SO much more comfortable going into my first group class. My anxiety was definitely higher than my dog's, and he ended up going great! Bobby is extremely knowledgeable and does a great job explaining things in a way that actually makes sense. He even used analogies related to my everyday life that helped things really click for me. The biggest thing I've learned is that training takes consistency and work at home, but when you actually practice what Bobby teaches, you can really see the results. I'm so happy with the progress Stix has made, and after being so picky about finding the right trainer, I can confidently say I found him. I really appreciate Bobby's knowledge and approach, and I couldn't be happier with our experience!

We completed six sessions with Bobby to help address our dog's aggression and reactivity, which…read morehave been present since he was just a few months old. During the training, we focused heavily on "place" and learning how to use the e-collar. While our dog did pick up the basics, he unfortunately continues to struggle with reactivity and aggression even after the sessions ended. As first-time dog owners, we were hoping for more hands-on guidance. Much of each session involved conversation and verbal instruction, but we didn't feel we were shown the techniques in enough detail or given sufficient practice with our dog to feel confident applying them on our own--especially given his specific behavioral challenges. Bobby is very personable and clearly knowledgeable, but we were hoping for more direct interaction with our dog during the sessions. After training ended, we reached out about the ongoing issues, and while Bobby was able to fit us in for an additional session, it mainly revisited the same methods that hadn't necessarily been effective for us. I believe Bobby would be a great fit for dogs that are already fairly obedient and just need structure or refinement. However, for dogs with more serious behavioral concerns like aggression or resource guarding, this approach may not be the best match. Ultimately, we decided to pursue additional training elsewhere to better meet our dog's needs.

A Training Program That Truly Follows the Dog - Exceptional Transferable Guarantee!…read moreMy husband Jim and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bark Busters! We fostered Willow, a Labradoodle, intending to find him a forever home, but we completely "failed" at fostering and fell in love with him. Willow's previous owner had invested in Bark Busters Gold Service training before we adopted him. As a disabled Veteran, Jim has found Willow to be an incredible mental health support, and we wanted to ensure we continued his training properly. A Guarantee That Truly Puts Dogs First: What truly sets Bark Busters apart is their remarkable Life of Dog Support Guarantee, which is transferable when a dog is re-homed! This transferable guarantee demonstrates Bark Busters' genuine commitment to the dogs they train, not just their clients. They understand dogs may change homes and built a system ensuring those dogs receive lifelong support. This is virtually unheard of in the dog training industry! Seamless Support: We contacted Bark Busters to learn about Willow's training, and they made the transfer process incredibly smooth. Their focus was clearly on Willow's wellbeing and ensuring continuity in his care. They taught us the Bark Busters method - natural dog communication using body language and voice control that Willow already understood. No treats, no harsh corrections, no complicated equipment. The Results: Thanks to their transferable guarantee and guidance, we've maintained Willow's excellent behavior and strengthened our bond tremendously. The relationship between Jim and Willow has flourished, making an incredible difference in Jim's daily life and wellbeing. Lifetime Peace of Mind: We can contact our certified trainer anytime new issues arise - for Willow's entire life. As he grows and faces new challenges, we have peace of mind knowing professional help is available. Even if we relocate, the guarantee moves with us! Our Recommendation: If you're struggling with dog behavior issues, we wholeheartedly recommend Bark Busters. They work with any breed, age, and issue. Their trainers are knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in helping families. Most impressive: their Life of Dog Support Guarantee is transferable when a dog finds a new home. That forward-thinking policy shows incredible integrity and true commitment to every dog they train. It's a game-changer for rescue or adopted dogs. Willow is a well-behaved, happy companion, and thanks to Bark Busters' transferable lifetime guarantee, we have confidence and support to continue his success. We're so grateful for their innovative approach ensuring every dog receives lifelong support, regardless of circumstances! - Jim & Tammy Proud parents of Willow the Labradoodle

Every once in a while, we're fortunate enough to meet people like Liliana and Eddie. From the…read moremoment we met them--or, more importantly, from the moment they met our three full-size poodles and two cats--there was an instant sense of trust. If we humans ever forget how to size someone up, just watch our animals. They knew immediately that Liliana and Eddie were good people, and so did we. Now our only concern is figuring out how we can go away more often! We couldn't feel better about leaving our furry family in their care. All eight of us highly recommend Liliana and Eddie!

Nick came into our lives during a very bad situation I had between 2 of my girls and has been our…read moreguardian Angel ever since. We had to put one of them down due to injuries and thought I would need to rehome 2 of them but he worked with all of us and made my pack stronger and more bonded than ever. He took the time to come over first and watch and observe them together and then he worked with them individually and in smaller groups. He trained me as well on how to be a stronger mama bear and take my power back. He taught me to "lock up" my couch since the couch was misbehaving when I wasn't home. Haha. Now my furniture is safe, my dogs aren't tempted and they can be unsupervised more often without getting into trouble. His weekly group classes are a lot of fun to bring the dogs to so they can play and train at the same time. They can meet other dogs if they want or we just do our own thing and my crazies love Mr. Nick. He still periodically checks in on us and always responds to my texts when I have a quick question. You can tell he truly loves all the animals he works with and they can feel it too. I'm so glad he was recommended to me by my vet. He was life saver then and he is still one now. Because 5 crazies is a lifelong commitment and the training snd questions never stop.

He is patient, clear and builds a strong foundation that helps puppies build confidence. We had a package for both private and group training, and both have been incredibly valuable for us & Winter. At group she is learning impulse control, basic commands while there is a lot going on around her, agility, and we sometimes finish with group play that reinforces how to play with other dogs in a safe & controlled environment. We also did a board & train while we were on vacation, and Winter was so happy (and tired) when we got home, but responded much better to commands, but we had to stay consistent for her. 100000/10 Highly suggest Content K9s!

We can't say enough great things about Doug! We brought him in to help with our anxious/aggressive…read morerescue dog, A'ja, and he changed everything. It really is shocking when on the first visit he had A'ja laying down relaxed by looking in her eyes (which was quite the opposite of her behavior). Not only did Doug work with A'ja, but more importantly he taught us how to handle situations better as owners, which gave us the tools we needed to continue reinforcing her progress at home. His patience, professionalism, and genuine care for dogs shine through in every session. We are so grateful for Doug's guidance. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer who truly understands dogs and more importantly their people!

The technique Doug uses is unlike any I'd ever seen or read about, and it has worked wonders for our 4-year old Lab, who had no boundaries and was often unmanageable. Four weeks in, our household is much calmer and our dog's anxiety level has plummeted. We still have more work to do, but we look forward to it because of the results we're seeing. We highly recommend Doug's training, it's working for our dog and (happily) his people.

My Border Collie has been going to BarxParx for six years, and at this point it truly feels like…read morehis second home. He goes to daycare while I'm at work, boards there when I travel, and gets groomed there as well. I trust the team completely with his care, which says a lot when you're handing over a member of your family. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs. They do a great job keeping pet parents informed and will reach out if they notice anything out of the ordinary, even something as minor as an upset stomach. I really appreciate knowing that they're paying attention and that my border collie isn't just another dog in the yard. I also want to give a special shout-out to managers Aurora and Stef. They've always been wonderful, helpful, and incredibly caring with my boy over the years. I personally appreciate the care BarxParx takes with assessments and safety. When you're trusting a facility with your dog, you want to know they're being thoughtful about which dogs are in the daycare environment and making everyone's safety a priority. After six years of daycare, I can confidently say my border collie is treated like family here. He loves BarxParx, and so do I.

Our beautiful girl is 1/2 husky, 1/4 german shepherd, 1/4 border collie, and it's absolutely worth the money to get her groomed than attempt to do it ourselves. They do an amazing job and are super fast. $90 is what I've paid both times and that price is VERY REASONABLE compared to other places I have shopped around. The ladies at the front have been nothing but kind and assured me that she would be in good hands. She is a little anxious, so they very generously gave some calming treats for free to try to see if that would help as other treats have been unsuccessful. If you haven't been to K-9 Country, you and your pet are missing out on a great experience!

HPR just celebrated their 10 year anniversary and we are one of their long-term clients who have been there the entire time! Not only is there daycare available starting at 6am, which is phenomenal for those of us who start their day early, but also birthday pawtys, boarding, grooming, and training. My dogs have done it all and they get so excited when it's time to play!! Daycare packages offer financial savings, and they also have rewards that are basically converted into cash towards purchases. The staff can be contacted via text or email. If a phone call is needed, I can reach out or sometimes the groomer will call with questions. Highly recommend to give Henderson Pet Resort a try! Easy drop off and pick up with short-term parking up front. The staff can also help bring the dogs in and out, if needed. Behavioral evaluation is a first step, plus shot records; ask the front desk for more info. But once a customer, it's easy to upload most recent shot records to the files.
