Testimonials

My dog was the most anxious pup before training with Kranky K9. She has truly been amazing since. I don’t give commands, she just knows what to do. Completely worth the investment!
– Client

This review is long overdue but I am happy to say that Kanky K9 changed our lives completely. We came to Bo with a seemingly impossible problem. Our two Corgis had started fighting… Bo took his years of experience… to come up with a well thought out plan… By the last training session, Bo showed us a video of the boys playing during daycare for the first time in months. There was not a dry eye in the house.
– Client

We love Kranky K9. It’s been a real socialization tool with my rescue! He didn’t know how to have fun and be a dog. Daycare has taught him to play, relax, show his bully smile, bark, and enjoy his bougie dog life.
