Testimonials

“My girlfriend and I contacted K9-indigo to help with our dog Ringo’s behavioral issues. We’re on our 7th session out of 40, and the improvement is incredible! K9-indigo has been patient and drastically improved our dog handling abilities. Highly recommend for dog training! ”
– Mario Salinas

“We found Indigo at the perfect time while searching for a dog trainer. My dog’s aggression and gate jumping improved significantly after just 2 sessions. Now, we can have people over without worry. Indigo’s training was easy to follow, and as a 17-year-old, I learned a lot about bonding and coaching my dog.”
– Amaya Loya

“Indigo is a fantastic trainer with an immense amount of knowledge on how to get the results you want while teaching you how to be the trainer you want to be as well. Indigo spent many sessions going above and beyond showing myself how to be an effective trainer, as well as explaining the ‘why’ behind the things/method we were using.”
– Trevor Massen
