What Our Dog Training Clients Have to Say

Would highly recommend for anyone who takes living with/caring for their dog seriously. They worked with my dog for three weeks and I started seeing results pretty quickly. They were great about communicating with me and making sure I understood the strategies they implemented during the training so I could continue to work successfully with my dog at home…

Great trainers, have worked with them for three years with my dog. Although my dog is very happy go lucky, I have seen them work with all type of dogs from aggressive, shy, abundance of energy, you name it. I’m amazed by the transformation of the dogs once they have worked with the trainers at K-Nine and also how they work with the dog owners. The business has grown since we’ve worked with them and I’m very impressed how Eric and Justin have trained more trainers to work with their clients in a consistent manner.

WOW! I dropped off my sweet, nervous, shy 6-month old Cavalier off at puppy School (PALS) and only a few sessions in she is now a confident and happier girl. Prior to K-Nine Solutions, she had separation anxiety, fearful to approach dogs/people and especially triggered by dogs barking. Now she has confidence anywhere we go, which has been integral in her happiness. She especially LOVES to go to school – her best friends are without a doubt the K-Nine team! 🙂

I am incredibly grateful to the whole team for helping her come out of her shell, which would have taken me months on my own and they did it in a week! They are attentive and positive teachers, we are lucky to have them in town. My sweet Elly now has the foundation needed to succeed!

Eric Smith is a rare gem. He gave me such practical advice to use with my rescue dog companion — advice that has worked better than anything I have tried or learned over the past 5 years! Eric is so knowledgeable, warm, helpful and generous. He was able to quickly pinpoint the problem area we were having with our pup and help us find solutions that fit our philosophy and exact situation. I have taken our dog to many classes and tried a variety of approaches to get to a solution for his sporadic aggression without any lasting change. It’s rare to find an expert that can quickly get to the heart of the solution, give you the exact things to try that give you results – especially if it’s a problem you’ve had for a long time like we have. Thank you Eric! I highly recommend him.
