Testimonials

Bobbi Jo, Chris and Nicole are the best. I came to them a few months back after my reactive 7 year old cattle dog, Dennis, knocked me over while pregnant. We did a couple of training sessions and he goes to their camp 3x a week. He’s like a completely different dog now. He’s happy and fulfilled. Calm. He still is working on his reactivity with other dogs but he’s so much better than he was a few months ago. He’s a part of the family now instead of trying to lead it and stressing himself out. It’s brought so much peace to my life knowing that my dog is well taken care of while I adjust to becoming a mom. You can tell they really care. Today we went on a family walk, I was baby wearing, which is something I never would have been comfortable doing a couple months ago, and we were all in such a flow I forgot Dennis was with me for a second. That NEVER happens when you’re walking a reactive dog. No leash pulling or lunging at bikes or other dogs. I can’t thank Bobbi Jo, Chris and Nicole enough.

We adopted a foster from Bobbi-Jo. Mae is an amazing dog. For the time she had Mae, her development speaks volumes for her program. She fits in amazingly well with us and our other dog. Despite this being a huge change for anyone, the transition was almost seamless. I definitely recommend Uncommon Canine Academy to anyone looking for boarding and/or training.

Where do I start with Uncommon K9? Probably with a thank you, if I hadn’t said it 1,000,001 times already. Uncommon K9 specifically Bobbi Jo has helped my insecure young man Reggie step into his big boy paw prints this past summer introducing him into new experiences and routine. At this point, and while it’s on going Reggie is now a confident problem solving gentle dog for the most part. Training I know never ends, but is an ongoing learning curve but with trainers like Bobbi Jo they make the experience smooth. I didn’t know where I was going with Reggie beforehand but with the resources, unconditional support, and check ins I know Reggie will only continue to improve in his journey to be the best guy he can be. Even experiences such as going to the vet and monthly trips to the groomers improved immensely after his stay and learn program with Bobbi Jo this past summer. If you’re looking for reliable, honest, and dedicated look no further. Bobbi Jo is your person!!
