Testimonials
“This is Vance — our sweet German Shepherd rescue whom we adopted in April. He recently turned one, and choosing Liberty K9 for his training was one of the best decisions we’ve made. … Now, a month later, Vance is obedient, responsive, and truly a joy to be around. … We highly recommend Dakota with Liberty K9.”
– Vance’s Owner
“Dakota at Liberty K9 is worth every penny and more. … in 28 days my dog went from being an 80-pound puppy liability to a well-trained service dog who flew on a plane, went to the groomer, and aced all her public access outings.”
– Combat Veteran Owner
“My standard poodle came home a completely different more enjoyable dog. … Dakota treats the dogs like his own. Both of my dogs are doing extremely well. He also is a great lifetime coach. Anytime I have a question he answers right away.”
– Owner of Miss Isabelle and Carter
