K9 CONNECTION REVIEWS
I highly recommend Kim Kocol as a trainer. She had good advice and now my dog and cat can live together with me being less stressed. I learned a lot about my dog and his behavior. She gave me recommendations to use at home and communicated with me about his training. I had a great experience with my private sessions. I was very impressed with my dog's progress.
We took our dog Annabelle to K9 Connection to curb her reactivity to other dogs. Working with Danielle we saw an almost immediate change in her behavior. From not being able to walk her in public where other dogs were present to now she is a perfect lady on walks. Danielle has been wonderful with Annabelle and communicated clearly to us how to put Annabelle in a position to succeed. Danielle and the staff have been a pleasure to work with and words cannot express how pleased my wife and I have been with Annabelle's progress.
So grateful I found K9 Connection!! My pup Rocky had some resource guarding issues he developed very young and I had no idea how to tackle that. Karen and all the staff are very knowledgeable and knew exactly what my boy needed. After some adjustments in my home and 8 personal lessons he is doing amazing and I couldn’t be happier! It is great to go to the weekly lessons to get the tools and guidance needed and then take that information home and work on it. “Place” has by far been the best and most helpful command we learned and I highly recommend all dogs learn this. If you are questioning whether to make the investment in training stop and just do it!! You will not be sorry! Thanks again so much K9 Connection.

THE ART OF DOG REVIEWS
We sent our Lab to Dave to correct many behaviors from lack of manners, high reactivity to which sometimes aggressive and terrible leash walking (many other reasons to but those were the top) that we couldn’t overcome ourselves. We tried 4 training classes prior with another company and finally admitted defeat. We choose to do the 3-week board and train with The Art of a Dog which was the best decision we have ever made. Our dog came home his normal fun-loving self but when given a command, he now just does it!! You can walk him and enjoy it! He gives you personal space when asked. He sat in place without moving all of the dinner the first night home. He’s enjoyable again which he wasn’t so much before he left. Dave, thank you.
Wow... fantastic...our dog loves this place...(we do too!) We first dropped our 9-month-old mini golden doodle off in June...we were a little concerned about being&train... when Luna got back after 2 weeks she was happy and excited AND very well trained...I was amazed what could be done in 2 weeks...she was a pleasure to walk..she would come when called..she has even learned to "place"..I feel Luna will be safer and calmer with this training. We had Caitlin and her and Luna were the perfect match...we loved Art of Dog so much we just got Luna back from 1 more week of board/train...I think Luna wanted to stay with Caitlin. Please if you are considering training...it is well worth giving you and your dog the gift of board/train from Art of Dog.
Caitlin and Dave made such a huge difference with my Husky pup. His behavior before and after the private lessons is like night and day. I LOVE taking my pup out for walks now because I know they are going to be enjoyable and he is going to be well behaved. They were very flexible with scheduling and rescheduling, very professional and so well worth it. I will definitely recommend the Art of Dog to anyone who has a rambunctious pup that needs help with training.

RIVER’S EDGE CANINE REVIEWS
I truly can not say enough positive things about Alex and River’s Edge Canine. We brought our 1 year old pitbull, Charlie, in for a three week board and train program. Charlie has his own sort of crazy, stubborn, lazy (and also hyper) personality! Alex worked with Charlie to help him to learn to calm down (something we had a very tough time with) and how to work through his anxiety. He learned some basic obedience skills (which really nothing is basically with Charlie, because he fights it tooth and nail), and how to loose-leash walk! Alex has made herself available for questions and concerns, and offered for us to come back to get a better feel for walking on the leash (it was super snowy!). She really focused on his individual needs, and on his very unique personality. We are so grateful for her expertise, kindness, reliability, and professionalism. Among other trainers we have met with, Alex truly shines above the rest! And our big Charlie is still our sweet, silly, wild pup.. but now with manners! Thank you Alex!
Alex is amazing! She is so knowledgeable and helpful. She makes training classes not only fun for your pup but enjoyable to be at. She’s attentive with all the dogs and really cares. She focuses on the individual needs of each dog. She makes herself available if you have any questions or concerns. Truly one of the best experience I’ve had in a training setting.
Over the last few weeks we’ve had Alex come in and help work on some behaviors with my two rescue dogs. We’ve worked on jumping, barking, nipping, dominance/aggression, leash walking, as well as dog/people reactivity. Alex was so helpful with also teaching me how to interact, correct, and establish my role as a boss not just a friend, which is hard when they are so cute all the time! It’s amazing the difference that I’ve seen. My fiance and I cannot thank Alex enough for all the help, tips and advice! If anyone is dealing with issues with their dogs (young or old!) I HIGHLY recommend working with Alex. She’s magic!! Now, I get to continue working with and training my pups knowing she is only a phone call away if needed! Thank you!!
