Testimonials
Charlotte and Josh’s K9ology is our preferred boarding facility, and their dog training expertise has been a game changer for our Hank! We know he’s in the best place possible, with not only his physical needs being taken care of, but also his emotional well being.
We are so thankful that we found them.
Love. Love. LOVE K9ology! We had the pleasure of working with several trainers as we began our dog’s therapy training program. I can’t speak to the program itself because our dog’s health began to suddenly decline and we’ve had to stop her training. However, what we did experience was incredible. Firm, gentle training and education as to why we did it and how to keep it up at home. My dog LOVED coming here, and their space is always sparkling clean and the staff is super friendly and clearly love the animals. I can’t recommend enough! (Also: my 9 year old daughter came with me to trainings, and they were awesome with helping her handle the dog as well)
I really can’t say enough great things about Charlotte & the k9ology training center! We are seeing such great results with our pups and we owe the progress all to her! She brings great energy to every single session and it shines through with what she has taught my dogs and I! She truly makes dog training fun! I look forward to having a long lasting relationship with the k9ology center.
