Testimonials

We are extremely happy with the 2-week training program that performance K9 offers. Our dog entered with some aggression and reactivity issues and after just 2-weeks has made incredible progress. We are now better equipped to handle her after meeting with David and Natalie who are excellent trainers. If you’re thinking about sending your dog here I highly recommend. We’re looking forward to utilizing their boarding services as well.

I adopted my four-year-old German Shepherd from a kill shelter–he was set to be euthanized. At first, he seemed fine, but a couple of weeks later, he became very aggressive toward people and other dogs. At 120 pounds, walking him was a nightmare. I had to take him out in the dark just to avoid other dogs and people.

Then I found Performance K9 Training and everything changed. He spent two weeks in their board-and-train program, and when I picked him up, he was like a new dog. I can now walk him during the day with no fear, no pulling, no stress. It’s been life-changing.

David and his team didn’t just train my dog–they empowered me to be the leader my dog needs. The communication was great, they were attentive every step of the way, and you can tell they genuinely care. I’m beyond grateful. Highly recommend Performance K9 to anyone who feels stuck or overwhelmed.

I was referred by a friend and this is the BEST program. I have a 6yr old standard poodle who was aggressive on walks and around other dogs. David went above and beyond my expectations and literally changed my and my dog (Adonis) lives!!!! We did the training program 6 months ago and I am beyond grateful!!!! Also when we went for our follow up training after initial 2 weeks Adonis was happy to go there which also surprised me and that in itself speaks volumes.
