Just finished the puppy kindergarten course and we had the best experience. My boyfriend and I were able to ask any questions and we learned so much out of the classes. Our puppy Lilly loved it so much and it made us so happy to see her learn to socialize with other dogs. Lilly is fully potty trained after the four classes, that was important for my boyfriend and I. She learned other basic skills as well.

It felt safe for us to bring our puppy there. The trainer was amazing and very knowledgeable. If you are interested and not sure I hope my review does help you make the decision to enroll your puppy to the class.

I wanted to subscribe my dog to trainings, as previously had a consultation. I called several times and left messages and never called back. Then, I decided to send an e-mail and they replied saying that they would call me. it never happen. Regarding the consultation, it was not the best, (as a lot of paperwork have to be filled, instead of actually see the dog's reactions) but in general terms was "okay". In the end, looks like a good place, but what a pity with the communication they have.

I can't say enough about K-9 Academy. Miranda was my dog Tilly's trainer. She's truly a MIRACLE WORKER. Tilly is 10 months old and in 3 weeks she is a completely different dog. Tilly went from a crazy out of controll dog who wouldn't mind AT ALL to a pup that could follow EVERY command that Miranda taught her and listens when I tell her to stay, heel, sit, wait down, off and leave it. AMAZING.

Amanda is a miracle worker. She taught Tilly, my 9 month old Kokoni, how to do all the commands I asked her to do. I couldn't believe my eyes. Awsome staff and highly recommend this place. I can't say enough about this place.

My dog loved it here! She stayed for board and train for 3 weeks and came back so much calmer than before. Before bringing her here she was somewhat more cautious of people and wasnt the most trusting unless I was in view but my dog absolutely loved her trainer and made her feel safe. Now she is way more trusting with people and is less anxious around them. Highly recommend coming here for anything since the place is somewhat they really do have it all, since the place is on the property of Chinos Caring Kennels I opted for a cleaning for my pup for pickup and they left a cute note on the card. Will for sure be bringing her back to stay so she can visit her awesome trainer while boarding!
