Testimonials

“There are no other words to describe K9 Turbo other than AMAZING. Their compassion, love for animals, and interest in every animal’s well-being is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. At one point when I was in an unfortunate life crisis, they single handedly put together a group of people in less than 24 hours that literally saved my dog’s life. They gave me hope when I had none left and today my baby is happy and healthy again, all because of K9TT. K9 Turbo is the true definition of what human beings and animal advocates should be and I wouldn’t think of using anyone else for my dogs.”
– Laura and Riley

“We adopted a reactive dog with separation anxiety in June 2015. K9 Turbo Training was a life saver as we had never before had a dog with these kinds of issues. From one-on-one training to a tricks class to a group reactive class to recommending a wonderful vet, our Gino is now a very happy, healthy dog thanks to K9 Turbo. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Every trainer has been knowledgeable and professional and they went beyond my expectations. Thanks to Katelin and her entire crew.”
– Debbie and Gino

“I cannot recommend K9TT enough. The trainers are excellent and genuinely care about each dog they teach. They are able to adapt to individual skill levels and empower dog owners. I especially love how non-judgmental, understanding and **compassionate** they are. And that’s just the trainers! The staff behind the scenes are wonderful too– so responsive to emails and always friendly. We love K9TT and will continue to support and utilize them whenever we can.”
– Madelyn and Lemmy
