Testimonials
We were at our wits end with our French Bulldog puppy. Carrie worked a miracle and we are now on our way to a happy and peaceful home. I can’t recommend Bravo K9 enough. Professional, very reasonable pricing, but most importantly she stands by her work. We will continue to go to Carrie and tell everyone we know about her.
– Amanda Stout
Bravo K9 has a 5-star rating for a reason! What a great experience from start to finish with Carrie! I called her, explained my issues, and we came up with a plan for my dog. Very professional, reasonable rates and I have a much less stressed dog. I highly recommend Bravo K9!
– Sophia Swope
I know good coaching and Carrie has SO much information and experience! WOW! If you want you and your dog to have a better understanding for each other, then invest some time with Bravo K-9. You won’t regret it!
