Testimonials
“The 2-week day train plus weekend pack walks made such a difference for our dog, Lucy! Her basic commands, impulse control, and reactivity around other dogs improved so much. Highly recommend!”

“This is a shout-out for the wonderful staff at K-Nine Solutions. After a year of trying to sort out my rescue gold retriever’s issues with minimal results, I sought out K-Nine because of their positive reviews. My 4-year old pulled on the leash and was fear-reactive to dogs… With trainer Kelley’s positive methods, my dog overcame her issues, became more confident, and is now a pleasure on all walks.”
– N/A
“We went to K9 Solutions at the end of 2023… We had our intro meeting with Eric… During the first week of using the prong collar, we realized at home that he had scabs all around his neck… We did not complete the pack walks, because it felt like I was fighting with the trainers trying to advocate for my dog.”

“I feel so compelled to write this review. I have a 12 month old Labrador named Cash… Wow, the dog I have now is making me cry happy tears!… He was calm and laid perfectly in his place… People were stopping and commenting on him. My mind was blown.”
