Testimonials

Thank you Kota K9 for working with our newfypoo Charlie. Charlie did the 3 week day training, Brittany and Dakota were so flexible with our work schedule. Before her training there were days it was difficult to live with her, basically she had us trained. Dakota did a great job with not only training her, but teaching us as well! She finished her training a few months ago and she is so much easier to handle. One of my main priorities was getting her to walk without her walking me and Dakota nailed it! I love taking her for walks and we can now take her on adventures with us.

Kota K9 Dog Training has been a life saver for Strider and I. She had gotten to where she controlled my husband and I. She would do the zoomies and charge into us then jump and bite at our arms or go low for ankles. That’s just a sample. So, after a lot of research, I contacted Dakota and Kailey. Kailey spent so much time with me giving me information re their services and prices. The free in home evaluation went wonderful. Dakota explained her behavior, how we were reinforcing it, and a plan for her and I based on what was needed. We did a 10wk in home training and now are continuing at their facility. Strider is such a pleasure to live with now thanks to Kota K9.

Dakota and Brittany are AMAZING! They were incredibly patient and kind with my 2 dogs. I wanted a trainer that used more compassion and patience with dogs instead of yelling and military style training. My dogs (and my wife and I) learned an incredible amount during the 3 week day training package. My boys are now more calm and confident in themselves which makes our friendship that much stronger.
