Testimonials

Jordan and Paige have been an absolute pleasure to work with. We sent our 2 year-old Great Dane, Baba, for the intermediate board and train in July. We received lots of pictures and helpful updates during her stay and suffice to say the training results have been amazing! Jordan’s lessons were easy to follow to help reinforce Baba’s new skills in a new environment and both Jordan and Paige are beyond helpful and responsive when I email them with training questions. I’d highly recommend All Purpose K-9 for anyone who is serious about dog training and looking to better understand and have a deeper relationship with their K-9 friend.
– Jordan and Paige

Paige, Jordan, and the entire team at All Purpose K-9 have been an essential part of our dog’s health and good behavior. From training to boarding to more training, they have cared for Cooper, taught him, taught us, and loved him as their own. We are moving out of town so we wanted to take a moment to thank them for the 4+ years of trust and care. They are, easily said, the best. Tom, Andrew, and Cooper
– Tom, Andrew, and Cooper

We have had two dogs (a Maltese and Toy Australian Shepard) go through All Purpose K-9’s novice training and we are extremely happy with the results. Our dogs walk beautifully on the leash, healing and sitting with a simple command. They also sit in place, without a leash or barricade, until we give them the direction to move. We board our dogs at APK often, too. We are grateful for this facility and for the trainers. Thank you, APK!
