Our dog was subjected to a previous trainer with methods that should never be utilized. Because of the interaction with this person, my loving dog was fearful of strangers and reacted in a manner we had never seen before. We went from requesting assistance with modifying day to day behaviors to needing correction for the damage caused. Our dog Winston was blessed to have Ally train him! It took almost a week for her to actually put hands on him, but little by little she saw the dog that we know and love. Her positive reinforcement, attention to detail and determination brought him back. By the end of her training, he had little to no reaction to strangers entering his space including knocking on the door and or ringing a doorbell. Strangers were literally able to encroach on his space, feed him treats and pet him. And to top of it off, what we initially reached out for training she was able to accomplish those goals as well. He learned how to stay, walk properly on a leash, not to jump and expand on the training we as his owners taught him prior. Winston truly is a good boy and very much loved by his family. As I told Ally, I now cannot be given the stink eye for his special treat corner. He’s always been motivated by food and because of this it allowed the barriers to be broken and for others to see the true Winston. Thank you Ally for not giving up on him, he is and will always be worth our energy and love and I’m so happy you now can share that with him as well! ❤️ Anyone ever wanting more information please reach out, we would be honored to share our story and recommend Command K9 Behavior!

Cosmo my multipoo spent 2 weeks being boarded at command k9. I felt comfortable leaving him to be trained in their capable hands. I am so thankful for the work they did with him. He went from being a good dog with naughty habits like stealing food, jumping, no recall, climbing into the ups truck, and running away to actually listening. He now has manners and listens to his commands. Best money I have ever spent. I wish we did this years ago. I am thankful for the affordable and good training he received. Thank you!!!

Command K9 Behavior is the best, I brought my puppy there to get trained shortly after my husband passed away, and Ally, is doing a fabulous job helping me train him, to be the best dog I have ever owned. He is learning so much and I am able to continue to teach him at home. I highly recommend Command K9 Behavior for any size dog. Mine is a small dog when I looked at the website all I saw was big dogs, but she does great with all sizes.

I highly recommend them! Anytime I had questions about Waffles I’d get an update or video. We got to visit him whenever we wanted. I waited to leave a review a few weeks after and I can say even though Waffles is stubborn, he came back potty trained, he listens A LOT better. But the girls did amazing & whenever I get my next dog in the future or recommend someone, it’d definitely be them.

Sent my 7 month old Lab Forrest to the two week advanced obedience course and I can’t believe the results. Forrest no longer jumps up on you when you greet him, you can take him to outside dinning and he stays at your side barely have to hold the lease even with other dogs at the next table. He responds to visual as well as verbal commands and his walks are close to being off lease no longer pulling and dragging you around Thank you to Command K9 🐕

Ally (Trainer)from command K9 Behavior formally trained my Dutch Shepherd Axel when I lost all hope of him becoming my service dog. I have boarded him at her place many times and always comes home with a new task that she has taught him. Thank you so much for helping us stay together. She is a amazing and professional trainer.
