Testimonials
“Blue Cord K9 is absolutely amazing my trainer Tay has been on board with me since day one. Not just as a trainer but as an instructor so it wasn’t just my Doberman being taught properly and efficiently but me being taught how to keep her along the flow to have us both be taught to our highest potential. There were some rough patches but no excuses were made and things all worked out as they should have because of the patients and no need rushing anything but most of all as we continue to finish Mrs.Tay will not be seen just as and instructor but as a family friend and a blessing not just to me and my Doberman because now she’s moving on to service dog training to be my seizure assist dog but to all of the dogs and puppies she trains ik they will strive and reach beyond their goals and to the Blue Cord K9 business I just want to say thank you.”

“I absolutely 100% recommend Blue Cord K9, especially Steve! I have an 8.5 year old Australian cattle dog/daschund mix and suddenly got a year old German Shepard/husky/carolina dog foster, so I needed some help. Steve worked with both dogs over the course of 4 weeks and the impact was a blessing! Nala, the husky mix, was as crazy as they come. After four weeks of consistent training (that we will continue for a lifetime) Nala is now a brand new dog with obedience and a much different, and better demeanor. Kenzie, my older dog, had some obedience before doing the basic obedience course, but she latched on even more and improved overall. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!! You sure can with Steve and Blue Cord.”

I started my dog 2 days after I got him at 8 week he started in puppy head start and is training thru to service dog. His trainer Tay is amazing she is amazing. At only 4 months old the lists of tasks he does is incredible. The dedication and passion is unmatched. The program is amazing and they provide you with all the info and tools you need plus life time support.”
