Testimonials
“While it wasn’t our goal, our goldendoodle became so well trained that she actually performs in local theatre shows now! (Toto in WIZARD OF OZ most recently)… It was a huge financial commitment, and let me tell you: it changed our lives and was worth every single penny.”
– Tess Burgler
“I 110% recommend K9 Guide and have told many people about the success story of my pup Ace… After returning home from their board program and having a few lessons at home, Ace is THE dog many strive to have.”
