Testimonials
“Can’t say enough about Solid K9 training. The free content they provided through YouTube totally changed my life, and my dogs. Thank you! First time I actually found a training method that corrected the dangerous behaviors that my dog was exhibiting.”
– Scott Ross
“I found Jeff after I walked home in tears with my dog who wanted to attack every other dog we walked by on the street. I started watching his videos and learning so much information that actually HELPED me help my dog. Then I attended his seminar.”
– Julie Barber
“My dog has a huge fear issue with going to the pet store, he tried to bolt out of the car and is a quivering mess. He walks without trouble in our quiet neighborhood and he’s never tried jumping out of the car before I tell him to at the pet store.”
– Miranda Garcia
