I truly can not recommend Lena enough. If you have a dog that you think "can't be fixed" like we…read moredid, look no further- Lena is the answer to your prayers. Our Australian Shepherd (3 years old at the time) had severe anxiety which resulted in aggressive behavior with strangers and other dogs. Despite working with other trainers, her behavior only got worse- she ended up biting a dog walker we had hired and would behave so wildly/aggressively in public that we got to the point of saving her walks until night-time when no other people or dogs were around. It was embarrassing and we had no idea what to do. We found Lena online and immediately after talking to her on the phone, I knew she was the real deal. After ONE session with Lena, Roxie no longer pulled on the leash (she had always been very bad at pulling) and we already saw an improvement in her social behavior. We had a total of 5 sessions with Lena, the last one being in March of this year before moving to Florida. With each session, Roxie made huge improvements and we were also taught how to effectively reinforce her training between sessions and communicate with her. Roxie is like a brand new dog now. We moved to downtown Miami, so there are people/dogs everywhere, as well as busses, cars, etc and she shows no anxiety or aggression at all. We also adopted another dog in June and he and Roxie are the best of friends. Before, Roxie could not be around other dogs at all. And now, she has a brother who she totally loves! Absolutely NONE of this would have been possible without Lena's help and guidance. She truly changed our lives, and we could never thank her enough

JRTs are highly intelligent, joyful dogs with boundless energy--to the degree that it's very unusual to meet one off-lead except in a rural setting. When Finn finished his four weeks of intensive training with Shepherd K9, he was a changed puppy, in all the right ways. Finn knows multiple commands and he heeds every one of them. He is a very happy dog, very full of life--but he is very content to stay by our side and to comply with our command. Finn is confident that we will keep him safe and fulfilled every doggy day of his life. If you want your dog to have the best training in the business, look no further than Shepherd K9!

They send reminders, confirmations, etc. They work very well with me due to I drive a good distant to get to them and I don't get off till 5:00pm. They hold the pet free of charge if you're running a little late. They also take pictures of your pet and give them nail painting. Only reason why I am not giving them a 5 star was because first time I took my dog and they gave her a nail trim, I think they trimmed it too close to the base so my dog's nail was bleeding a little but not where it was hurting her and she couldn't walk or was limping. It's just the blood got onto my car seats and I didn't realize that until I already drove off and was close to home. I still go back to them because they do take care of my dogs well and communication is very good.

My puppy returned back to me dirty, smelly, and incredibly sick. Beginning Friday evening (he was returned back to me that day), he pooped out a sock. He did not eat. Saturday afternoon he pooped out part of a red toy. For the following week, he went on to eliminate another 7 objects (socks and soft toys) that were all ingested while in the care of Ruth. He was admitted overnight to the animal hospital two times in the two weeks since getting back from training and visited the vet two times. While in the animal hospital they found a large soft object that was still stuck in him. This was object 10. I had no idea he had 10 items in his body when he returned back to me that Friday which explained why he stopped eating, drinking, couldn't sleep through the night, and became lethargic (all of which is what led to me seeking medical care). All of the medical expenses totaled $6,000 last month but the worst part was having an extremely sick puppy for 3 weeks straight and Ruth taking no responsibility, stopping all communication, and blocking my puppy's Instagram before she ever even replied to my first email explaining everything that had happened. Thankfully my pup is home and recovering but is down 8 lbs from this whole situation that lasted a month, and awaiting the vet to determine what will be done about the kinks in his intestines from passing so many objects back to back. Not only did Ruth not train my pup but she was negligent in boarding him by not keeping a close eye on him while knowing his history and why he was with her in training. My puppy has been to day care and boarding many times at another reputable dog facility in charlotte and not once has he returned with any foreign items in his body. My puppy attended week long board and train with a reputable trainer in Florida when I first got him to work on different puppy behaviors and basic commands. Again, he never returned home sick or with anything in his body. This has been a disaster.
