Testimonials

It’s hard to overstate how much I appreciate the help I’ve received from Levels K9. Everyone I’ve worked with has been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and have shown genuine care and compassion for the dogs they work with. I brought my young dog Athena in for board and train, and they’ve helped set the foundations for her to continue to grow. They’ve also helped train me to be able to properly communicate and continue training at home! The difference has been incredible, and the LK9 team has continued to stay in touch and provide follow-ups to help answer any questions and concerns I’ve had. There is a level of uncertainty when it comes to working with animals, but I know that going forward, I’ll always have an incredible resource to help! I’d like to thank Erik, Wanda, Carrie, and Abigail specifically for all the care and attention they showed to both Athena and myself. If you’re looking for trainers who know what their doing and care about your pet, this is the place!

It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am for Levels K9 but I’ll give it my best shot- I took my dog Willow to Levels K9 as she started exhibiting reactivity over the past year as well as general issues with not listening to commands. I was quickly impressed after my very first phone call and visit to Levels K9’s facility. Erik, Wanda and the entire training staff believe in building trust with your dog and using positive reinforcement. Willow went to boarding and training at Levels K9 for 6 weeks and at first, I was worried she might come back a different dog, but I was ecstatic to see her come back with her same goofy personality, but now listening to commands and exhibiting less behavioral issues. And the training doesn’t stop there. After Willow came home, Wanda and Erik came to visit the house multiple times to see how she was doing and help provide more training tips and suggestions. They truly care and consider this a lifetime service. I know if I ever have questions or need a training refresh, I can reach out and bring Willow in whenever I need to. Erik, Wanda and the entire training staff are professional and kind and truly feel like family now! I’m so grateful to the entire Levels K9 team for not only helping Willow be a more obedient dog, but a happier and more confident one as well!

We took our dogs, Rip and Luna, to Levels K9 because of reactivity with other dogs. After looking for a long time for dog trainers, we met and received an intensive and thorough introduction to their training program and staff. To say we are happy with the results is an understatement as the staff at Levels take service above and beyond. They worked with our dogs on all behavioral aspects. They also worked with us so we became comfortable with the training, as well. After Rip and Luna came home, we were able to begin going on public walks, go to areas where there were other dogs, and begin doing activities that we thought were no longer an option. After they returned from training, they had the exact same goofy and loving personalities, but had amazing behavior in and outside of the house. Erik, Wanda, and the staff consistently check in on us to see how things are going and we go back regularly to continue working with our dogs at their facility. I highly recommend Levels K9 for anyone seeking dog training.
