Testimonials
“We’re so happy this facility encourages continuing training, by them hosting monthly group pack walks. This is such a great way to stay active in our training, keeping up with all the hard work these trainers help us instill in our dogs. I’m excited to go about my every day life now with a much more confident dog that understands the world isn’t out to get him and that seeing dogs can be a positive association now. Thank you IBK9 team!”
– Melissa Williams, Gilbert, Arizona
“I was connected with I.B. K9 originally because a dog I was fostering was extremely leash reactive. Jason was so great to work with and has continued to work with him even after he was adopted! Then after finding out we were expecting our first baby, we wanted to get some formal training for our dog, Harlow! Harlow completed their two week board and train with Julie and came home with more confidence and is just an overall better listener. She’s much better with impulse control and I am confident that she will do great with proper boundaries around the new baby! We can’t wait to continue working with them!”
– Lindsey Delagarza, San Tan, Arizona
“6 months later, Chandler has 2 AKC Trick Dog titles, can run an agility course, and has started scent training. Tonight, I realized just how much IBK9 has made a difference in my life. I walked a 110-pound Rottweiler and an 80-pound Rottweiler puppy for 2 miles… Never in a million years did I think I would ever be able to do that again. The dogs were excellent… None of this would have been possible had it not been for truly the BEST dog training team in Arizona at IBK9.”
