Testimonials
FTXK9 is AWESOME! I have spent money on a few trainers before discovering FTXK9, and no other company has truthfully addressed all the issues I’ve been dealing with in my multi-dog household, BUT THEY DO! My two dogs (both 10+ years old) did a 6 week day training program with Sarina Thomas and she was nothing short of phenomenal. She addressed my dogs’ barrier aggression, sibling jealousy, nervousness with strangers in public/in-home and overall built both of their confidence up. She’s also made sure to fully communicate the expectations I need to set for my dogs in order to see the changes she’s saw during the program!!! I can finally have guests over after she’s given the proper guidance to navigate my dogs in stressful situations and now my pups love to get pets & treats from absolutely anyone!!!!! Sarina also was able to tackle new problems as they come up, because as one problem was fixed… my dogs always presented her with a new one 10/10 recommend FTXK9 !!! These trainers really know their stuff See my happy dogs out in public after gaining their confidence back during this training program !!!!!!!

FTX K9 did a great job!!! They were flexible and addressed the specific needs of each of my dogs. Sarina has trained my German Shepherd dog and recently my Bernedoodle puppy. She did a wonderful job with both dogs. One was older and the other a baby. For different reasons both are great success stories. Our family quality of life and the quality of life for our dogs are greatly improved for the rest of their days. Results = happy family

Sarina from FTX K9 is awesome! She worked very hard during our dogs day training program and provided constant communication throughout to ease any worries that may have come up. I felt that the whole process with her was very transparent, and could tell that she really cared for our babies! In addition to being an amazing trainer, she was also a great teacher as well. I have learned a lot of things from her to continue working with the dogs post-program, and am excited to continue to apply her lessons!
