Testimonials

10000/10 recommend!! My German shepherd used to lunge at every animal, bark at every person, stressful vet visits, stressful walks.. I wanted a better quality of life for the both of us. WTNK-9 boarded & trained him for 2 weeks, then he has been in structured daycare every month x3 weekly. Emily & the team has changed our lives. Emily was very communicative, responsive and transparent throughout his training. My dog makes you earn his trust, and Emily earned it very quick! He loves her so much, she’s literally like family. Seeing him light up when he sees her is confirmation he is in safe hands. He now plays with other dogs, walks at my heel- no pulling or lunging, not barking at everybody, and can finally calmly be around other dogs. Our ultimate test was a vet visit and we just had a PEACEFUL, SUCCESSFUL VISIT every time I see his new behavior I just want to cry happy tears. We went to petsmart, see the photos of how good of a boy he was. We go in public so much more, strangers approach him & rub him w/o him barking, weve gone to UPS, Shelby farms, farmers markets… he is SO GOOD now. This is so important to me because in Texas another trainer said “this is just who he is, he’ll never be able to play with dogs and I’m not comfortable bringing him around other dogs” so I really had given up hope on him since he’s 7 yo. And we were just going to continue this stressful life together… until Marcus and his wife recommended this place with flying colors. If you’re seeking quality training, you are in the right place! It is worth every penny.

Truly cannot recommend enough!!! Our lives are forever changed!! Our girls are amazing, always have been, but now they listen!!! As a new mom, i was really struggling trying to find the balance with two dogs that didn’t listen, and a baby. We hit our breaking point when the fighting between them started. We’ve had them back for a week now, (we did two week – board & train) and it has been amazing. This has really helped the quality of not only our lives, but our two crazy girls!! My favorite part of this is that they still have their quirky personalities. We cannot thank Chelsey enough for the amazing job she did!!!

Writing this 9 months after my dog’s 4-week board and train he has retained everything he has learned. I can finally bring him around friends and family. Their training regime is 2nd to none! They give you all the tools and information needed to make your pup exactly how you want them and your dog doesn’t lose their “spark”. Something I was worried about with leaving my dog with a trainer for 4 weeks was that he wouldn’t still be affectionate/ sweet but that could be farther from true. They really allow your dog to build confidence with socializing and e-collar training. When we did our take home session I could see immediately the impact it had on my dog with his obedience and aggression and after 9 months he has only gotten better. Overall I am more than pleased with their services! The facility was extremely clean, the staff was incredibly sweet, and the trainers were incredible. I cannot recommend them enough if you had a crazy dog like me!
