As a group, we decided to wait until Moxie was spayed before we did the two week board and train. We are nearing retirement and want Moxie to be a travel companion A month after Moxie was spayed, (at 6 months old) Gracie and Samantha met me at my house. We had previously spoken several times on the phone and exchanged e-mails. We went over what I was wanting and how they were going to train Moxie. We felt very confident that the training would go well and Moxie was in great hands. During the training we received many regular pictures and updates regarding Moxie's progress. When Gracie and Samantha brought Moxie back to us after two weeks, she was happy, healthy, and well behaved. It was an amazing transformation. Gracie and Samantha stayed a couple of hours that first day and showed us what Moxie had learned, how the commands worked, and what we needed to do to get the best eesults. They came back a week later to check on us and we were doing great. We now practice what Moxie has learned everyday and she is getting really, really,, good. It is nice to walk around the neighborhood, in a park, or into a store and have Moxie in heel. She walks right there where she is supposed to and can sit and stay while you talk or pay at a register. She doesn't jump on anyone, she doesn't pull or rush into a doorway, she is very patient and follows instruction well Moxie is certainly very well behaved and we look forward to traveling with her. If we decide Moxie needs to learn anything else or we get another puppy, we are certainly going to reach out to Gracie and Samantha with Suburban K9.
To Gracie and Samantha, thank you so much for what you have done for us. To Suburban K9, thank you for having such great animal people on your staff. To everyone else, I highly recommend giving them a call as I know you will be very happy with what they can do for you.

We needed help with potty training, being able to control her while walking, stopping her from biting things and staying off the counters among other things. The company was great to work with from the start. They answered all my questions and there was no pressure to sign up for anything. We ended up selecting the 2-week Board and Train program for our girl and she came back to us a new woman! I was barely able to control her on our walks prior to the training. Any dog, bike, person, etc. she came across had her pulling me towards them and then she consistently jumped on the people and dogs with it being hard for me to get her down. After her training, we are now able to control her and take pleasant walks with her. Our trainer, Kayla, is excellent. She took a lot of time when she came to pick up our dog to explain the approach they take when working with their boarders and exactly what her days would be like. She kept us informed regularly of progress made and we were very comfortable entrusting our dog to her. When our pup returned home, Kayla took a lot of time teaching us the commands and techniques we need to continue to let her know that we are her leader. Besides the major change during our walks, she now understands what “no” means when we let her know that what she is doing inside the house is not acceptable and in general, we have seen such a great improvement. I highly recommend Suburban K9 and Kayla to train a dog of any age that you need help with! read less

We’ve had 3 private classes now with Holly and she has taught him and I corrections, how to walk and obedience and let me tell you it took some work but he is already a different dog. She always left me with helpful notes and homework because the key is also to reinforce all he learned with her at home AND then he homework is something I can do everyday which is much more rational to me than other dog trainers. I can’t wait to see what else he will learn in the next two lessons. She also had Ian shadow her amazing work and he was great too!! This was the best investment I ever made, your dog is with you for at least a decade and you want those years to be great and fun as opposed to stressing out about them not listening to you so go to Suburban K9! Also my friend at the dog park did the 2 week board and train with Zach (I believe) but regardless she had nothing but positive reviews about Suburban K9! read less

Buzz and Phoebe are 3 and 1yr old English Bulldogs. They had a lot of challenges adjusting to each other and finding their role in our family. Sabrina is so loved by them and us. She has successfully helped Buzz through his anxiety issues and we can now walk through the neighborhood without stares from fellow walkers. They were reluctant to Sabrina at first cause she expected a lot from them, but now they can't wait for her weekly visit. She takes them to fun places and does lots of socializing with them while incorporating training. Sabrina keeps us informed of their progress and listens to our concerns. She has changed our life! read less

I inquired about putting my five month old German Shepherd into training and had a lot of questions of course. I received answers to everything I could possibly think of including the interview process for the trainers themselves along with the benefits of each package and what I should expect. Lilliana arrived to my house and was super friendly and easy to work with right away. She spent a half hour with us in the house and our puppy and getting to know more about what we were looking for and to see how she acted in her environment. We signed up for the two week board and train which was a little scary at first to know that we wouldn’t get to see our new puppy for so long but we knew she was in good hands. Throughout the course of the two weeks Liliana sent us updates via text message along with photos and videos of how Maci was doing in the training and all the new pup friends that she was making. At the end of the two weeks Lilliana returned with Maci and spent two hours with us showing us what she learned and transferred the skill sets over to me, my husband and two small kids. We saw an immediate transformation from Maci especially from the basic obedience of just not jumping on somebody at the front door, not going on the couch and heeling by your side when going on walks. Lilliana had all of the items on hand ready for purchase that she used throughout the training that allowed us to continue the training process with her. It was convenient for her to have everything already and made it easier for us to avoid having to skip a beat with the training. There were two more training classes that followed in the home with Liliana it was great to have her coming back and following up to see how she was doing. We are so proud of the growth we’ve seen from our dog and every penny was worth the training for the lifelong adventure we will have with Maci. I highly recommend Suburban K-9 and definitely Lilliana Calero! Thank you! read less

He has had some anxiety issues (covid puppy, barking, doesnt want us to leave, wont stay in his crate) as well as just needed some better manners (jumping on people, bad leash walking/pulling). I have to say I was skeptical of how he would come back and how much of this could be changed. I have to say that Julia is a wonder and Ash has come back a different dog!!!! He now enjoys laying in his crate, he knows all the commands, and is a completely different dog when walking. I can now trust him to let the kids walk him. Julia checked in with us every other day or so and sent us pics and has come back for 1 of 2 follow ups. You can tell how much she knows about caring for and training dogs and how much she cares. She has also randomly checked in on Ash. Overall the entire K9 experience is one we would highly recommend (and have already!!) to anyone that is having training issues with their dog. And please ask for Julia! She was amazing with Ash!! read less

Before we looked for training options, Leroy was aggressive towards other people and dogs and it was especially difficult to have people come over to our house. He also used to pull really hard on walks. Once we started working with Erin, she taught us how to work with Leroy and push through his stubbornness to get the results we wanted! Throughout our ten weeks of training, we were able to accomplish obedience commands with positive reinforcement, control and peace of mind when people come into our home, and walking without pulling around the neighborhood and inside of public stores around people and other dogs. We are so glad that we did this training because it truly benefits everyone in your house! read less

We had a smart, sassy puppy that was beyond problematic in his destructive and biting ways. Having owned and self-trained several dogs throughout our years without any problem, we realized quickly with this puppy that we were way out of our league. Shelby was able to command his attention and obedience immediately. It was pure magic. She taught our puppy, as well as me and my kids so much about dog behavior. Shelby made herself readily available, was responsive and was able to troubleshoot and solve problems in real time. Having a trainer come into our house for sessions was phenomenal. Shelby was very considerate of our home and our time. Each session she worked with our puppy independently then left plenty of time to go over all the training that took place ensuring we understood and felt comfortable with our “homework”. We went from an overwhelmed family with an out of control dog to very happy dog owners in just 10 sessions. I cannot recommend her enough. read less

He is a sweet dog, but we never had a Shepherd before and needed help with leash training, fence barking and socializing. Zach came to our house which was the best way for him to see Jaeger in his own environment. Zach was on time for all lessons, and we even had a lesson at stores to get Jaeger socialized in unique situations. Zach was friendly and informative, and Suburban K9 has so many options to chose the best training for all pets. read less

Before Obi started the board and train with her, he was hyper, pulling us on walks, jumping on everyone, chewing everything, hating the crate...being first time dog family and having very little time and no experience ourselves to train him, we signed up for board and train plus. We are blown away by the results. Now he walks into his crate, enjoys relaxing in there, great walker (even my 7 yo can walk him), chills in the house without going after our or kitty’s stuff. We stay consistent with continuing practicing commands every day. Obi LOVES when Allyson comes for training sessions. We feel so lucky we found this training program. Thank you Suburban K9! read less

They were going to put him down so I took him so I could give him a chance. I new he wasn't a mean dog but we didn't know how to help him. At first he was managable but after a couple months he started going after my wife so bad that we had to live on different levels of the home. We were at the end of patience when someone told us about Suburban K9 Dog Training. Julia Rose was our trainer and helped us save Duke from his behavior problems. The first session Duke wanted to go after and "attack" Julia, but at the end of our 5th and final session he was fine. He allowed strangers to come in the house, he didn't care that Julia was there, he even let Julia give him treats and pet him. After they left he even was sitting by my neighbor on the couch wanting pets from them. It was a total 180. I know that if it wasn't for Julia and Suburban K9 Dog Training that we would of had to try and find another home for him. Thanks again. read less

I did the two week board and train and my lab/pit mix Harley truly enjoyed her time with Shelby. My main concerns were walking with tugging, jumping on guests, and walking out open doors when not commended to do so. Harley is a pleasure to walk now and she only jumps on ppl when she is super excited but you can see she really fights the urge to do so...but she’s getting so much better. We are still working on the front door but she doesn’t charge the door like she used to. She is such a smart dog and her time with Shelby really did wonders for her. I can’t thank her enough! read less

Our dog was extra hard: adult, no prior living in a house, not potty trained. Training was longer and harder than predicted and I only made it (didnt get rid of the dog) because of our trainer Alexis. She help my hand through it, gave so many tips, taught me so much. The company as a whole was easy to work&communicate with, organized, and flexible. Highly recommend! read less

Combine intelligence with the stubbornness of a Husky, and you have what we affectionately called our babe “the spawn of Satan”. He listened sure; but only when he wanted to. We couldn’t even sit on the couch without him attacking us with his baby shark teeth. He also thought it was okay to jump on tables, had ZERO will power to stay when a door was open .. and getting him to come in from the yard took an hour... the list goes on. We were at our wits end. We enrolled him in the two week board and train with Sabrina. I AM NOT KIDDING, Sabrina is a magician. She must work some sort of dog sorcery because MILLER IS THE BEST BOY NOW. He comes when he is called, he stays when the door is open until we let him know he is free, he is so socialized with other dogs we have play dates, on walks he is right by our side knowing the heel command. Everywhere we go, people compliment how well behaved he is. OUR DOG? Well behaved!! I still can’t believe it. He is an absolute dream to be around now, and I am so happy Sabrina made this possible. He is only 6 months, and I know because of Sabrina, we will have the best, most well behaved little best friend for years to come!! read less

She quickly and accurately identified personality traits that could be an area of concern and helped us to address these while our puppy is still young. In addition to being a dog whisperer, Sabrina is fantastic at knowing how to adjust her approach to fit all the different personalities in our home. We love that training includes some field trips and visits with other dogs so our pup will be well prepared to behave in a variety of situations. read less
