Dog Training 360

We have had problems with all of our dogs’ behavior throughout each of their lives. We had gone to several other trainers and never got the results we were looking for. We love our dogs, but their behavior in public was keeping us from being able to do things with them and enjoy them more. We thankfully found Joe and her awesome team. We had private in-home lessons with all 4 of our dogs and the results we have had by implementing her training techniques have been amazing. Our dogs are happier and much more well adjusted. We now have a much better understanding of our dogs and have the tools and knowledge to maintain our training. We took our 2 young rescue dogs to the Canine Good Citizens course that Western States offers and it was so helpful. We recommend everyone who asks us about training to Joe and her team. We could not be happier with the entire experience. Joe is a true expert and always willing to give encouragement and advice for any problems that may arise. We definitely plan to continue the wonderful different classes they offer. Not only did we love working with Joe and her team, but our dogs loved it too.

We have 2 mixed, high energy dogs in our household. When the dogs were 2 years and 1 years old we knew we needed professional help in training them, as they were out of control and were developing some bad behaviors. Our vet recommend Joe for our training needs, she came to our house to evaluate the dogs in their own environment. We decided that private lessons would work best for our dogs and us. Joe not only was able to train our dogs, but more importantly was able to train us to work with our dogs effectively. We also have taken a few group classes, which really helped socialize our dogs with other dogs and people, which was a huge problem before we started working with Joe. One of our biggest success stories was when a 3 year old girl walked up to our older dog, with our permission, and hugged him and he just sat there being all cool with it; before working with Joe, we would not let any kids near our older dog as he thought they were a snack for him. Joe is great to work with and continues to be there for us if we have any questions about new behaviors that arise with our pups. Joes’ training techniques are direct and consistent and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog trainer. Our dogs are now 4 and 5 years old and are great dogs to have in our lives.

Our family can’t say enough about Western States K-9 College. Joe and WSK9 was recommended to us by our vet who also had a great experience. One of our older dogs had begun fighting with our newly adopted six month old puppy after initially getting along for the first few months. We were distraught thinking that we may have to give our puppy away. Joe came out the day after we contacted her and evaluated the situation. She assured us that she thought it was very fixable, and set up a training program. She was wonderful to work with, and the dogs were quickly able to be around each other and now even play together. We have also decided to continue the “walk and train” sessions with our puppy to help develop good lifelong habits. We have learned and benefited from Joe’s calm disposition and from her vast knowledge of dogs and their behavior, and it has made us better owners. We are very grateful!
