Testimonials

So so grateful for Britaini and her program. I brought my Pitty in for obedience training and to help build his confidence up and she knew exactly what to do. I felt comfortable handing over the leash to Britaini and my baby fell in love with her. I highly recommend her training, she is extremely knowledgeable in her profession and has so much compassion for our fur babies. If you’re on the fence take this as the sign to pull the trigger!

So grateful for everything Britaini has done. I got my german shepherd as a puppy and already knew he needed training, when i adopted my Belgian malinois from the shelter and brought her home they did not get along at all. The next morning they attacked each other and (after a slight mental breakdown and me questioning my life choices) Britaini urgently brought both dogs in for a board and train. They stayed with her for 3 weeks and are now able to run and play together and have their own obedience training. Britaini worked on my mals behavioral issues and my gs reactiveness to where he will lay down as other dogs pass by him when previously i would have to immediately remove him from the area of other dogs. I am so thankful for Britaini and Bombshell K9 for making it possible for me to keep both dogs and working on their obedience skills and progressing their confidence in themselves.
If your unsure if her services are worth it take this as your sign to send it. She is professional, real, down to earth, and realistic with her amazing abilities in providing training. She will forever be my go-to to progress my dogs trainings and more!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! We dropped our baby off for training and boarding, worth every penny. Britaini is wonderful, she knows what she is doing! Nola (in her arms) hardly wanted to leave, it was a great experience. I feel like we can now bring her places and it will be a much better for all of us! Thank you
