Testimonials
Our experience with BTS K9 has been outstanding from start to finish. Clyde, who struggled with fear aggression, received consistent, structured training every day of his stay. The team kept us fully informed with regular pictures and videos, which provided comfort and transparency throughout the process.
Upon pickup, they spent generous one-on-one time teaching us each command, explaining behavioral triggers, and ensuring we knew how to handle real-life scenarios confidently. Since returning home, Clyde has shown remarkable improvement — calmer behavior, better confidence, and noticeable progress in all the areas we were concerned about.
BTS K9 clearly puts expertise, dedication, and genuine care into every dog they work with. We highly recommend them for any level of training or behavior needs.

I brought my 8-month-old GSD to BTSK9 to help build her confidence and address her leash reactivity. They focused on e-collar training and overall obedience. During the turnover, Mike spent over an hour giving me one-on-one instruction and walking me through everything they worked on over the past three weeks. It was fantastic–she was incredibly obedient. He even brought in another dog so we could practice real-life scenarios. She’s kept up with the skills she learned, and our walks over the last two weeks have been so much less stressful.
Throughout her stay, I never worried for a moment. I knew she was in excellent hands, and they sent daily photos and videos to keep me updated.
Highly recommend BTSK9 and was a great investment!

Best results in such a short amount of time! My 7 month old Poochon, Hershey, was in serious need of training. BTS K9 was recommended to me by our veterinarian. I was nervous about leaving my 4.10 lb pup for 2 weeks. But I met with the staff and found them to be so knowledgeable and professional. And the training results were amazing, and equally important, I could tell when I took him back for a one-month-check-in that he was well treated while he was there…he was so happy and excited to see Kaitlyn and the gang again. I would highly recommend BTS K9 if you are looking for puppy training!
