Testimonials
“I found Glass City K9 on Facebook, contacted David and within 48 hours we had our first consultation. Less than a week later we had our first lesson. By the third lesson (out of six), Phoebe was already a different dog. She was walking well on a leash, responding to commands, and holding a place around other distractions. We finished all the lessons and I couldn’t be happier with the dog she is now… I would highly recommend Glass City K9!”
– ELIZABETH SZYMANSKI
“Training with Glass City K9 has been the best investment that we have made in our lives and in our dog… We’ve seen him blossom. He has self-confidence and has become a lot braver in new situations because he trusts us. I have become a more confident dog owner as well… I give all credit to this program.”
– Anonymous Client
“I chose the ‘Silver Plan.’ Essentially, the trainers train us, the owners, to train our own dogs… I LISTENED TO WHAT THE TRAINER SAID AND I DID EXACTLY THAT… I believe that I have gotten more value out of this training than my pup has.”
– Marybeth Courtney
