She is seriously the best and Jax gets so excited to see her, meaning training is fun for him too!! She goes out of her way for my pup and Is always available when I have a question. She has taught me so much as a first time dog owner and has given me the tools to have the best behaved pup, neighbors quickly noticed the difference in Jax and that is the best compliment. read less

From day one, Holly was patient with our pit bull Juno (and with us) as we worked on correcting poor leash behaviors, separation anxiety, car rides, and socializing Juno with other dogs. She commanded respect over our dog instantly and now our dog is thriving. Juno walks at our side, waits patiently when we leave the house, and we constantly get neighbor compliments on how well behaved she is. We cannot recommend Holly and Suburban K9 enough! read less

This is our first little dog and they are a bit different to handle than the big dogs. Chico Jr is doing great. We can walk on a leash now without pulling and our manners are getting better every day. Having trouble with your dog? Give them a try! read less

I cannot express how much she has done for our stubborn bulldog Capone. Capone was notorious for counter surfing, biting his leash on walks, and not being the best listener. From day one, Holly came in with such positive energy and really listened to what we were looking to accomplish with Capone. Holly was extremely attentive and worked through every struggle Capone challenged us with on a daily basis.Today, Capone is a totally different dog. Capone now listens, loves our daily walks, and sits in a down stay even when food is out!! Without Holly the struggles would still continue today. We cannot thank Holly and Suburban K9 enough for the life changing experience that they provided us with. I couldn’t rave or highly recommend Holly enough! read less

My fiancé and I have two rescue pups - a 3 year old Australian cattle mix and 2 year old terrier mix. Their leash aggression and anxious behavior (think nervously walking back and forth licking the floor) had me going crazy before I reached out Suburban k9 to sign up for classes. Regan Anderson did an amazing job working with both and allocating enough time to focus on each dog's issues. She explained the reasoning behind why they might be behaving that way and what to do to fix it, which I thought was very helpful. After 10 sessions with Regan, we can safely say our dogs are much more enjoyable to walk and are overall better behaved. Well worth the investment- thank you!! read less

So I will re-post. Rose is our Trainer and she is fantastic. We have 3 Great Danes. Our two boys needed some help with Obedience. In 11 lessons she had them doing everything we needed to live in peace. We added 10 more in home sessions to work on some other issues with them. Our goal was that Rose herself was able to double dog heal over 300 lbs of Boy Great Dane and she did it. Now our boys walk so well together that our walks are back to enjoyable instead of frustrating and painful. She not only trains the dogs she trains you to train the dogs. She is friendly, helpful, and commands the training. Rose pushes around my big boy Hades like he is 40lbs when indeed he is past 150lbs, with legs as long as Rose's. In-home training is the way to go. If we ever add to our Pack, Suburban K9 will be one of the first calls we make. read less

He came home to me an obedient but still fun-loving dog. Amber took me through the steps to have Chip follow basic commands. She also helped with having him socialize with other dogs (he was not doing well with this until Amber worked with him). Amber also followed up with me to make sure things were going well. She provided written instructions for things i needed to work on between her visits.
I highly recommend Suburban K 9 & Amber Haseltine. Great experience for Chip & me!!! read less

She was able to stop the puppy from jumping on counters/people, end the constant barking, and listen to various commands. Sabrina always goes above and beyond, taking our pup on long hikes and to dog parks to better socialize the pup with other dogs. I HIGHLY recommend Suburban K9, and particularly, Sabrina! read less

We are new to being puppy parents and Julia has helped guide us in so many ways. She is so kind and patient and took the time to listen to and address all of our concerns. Our puppy is doing great and her behavior is much improved. I wouldn't trust anyone else but Julia to help us with this process! read less

We have a 4 yr old mini doodle and added a 6 month cockapoo to our hone a few months ago. Our cockapoo Teddy was very shy and lacked confidence, and our doodle Ginger had a few bad habits we wanted to correct. Katelyn is truly nothing short of incredible. They are patient, professional and understanding of both our needs and the needs of our pups. She gave us the tools to help Teddy come out of his shell and help us to train him to be off leash. Ginger liked to jump when people came to visit as well as bark at the TV and we now have the resources to teach them. I can’t say enough about the work these girls do. I am so grateful to have found Katelyn and Stephanie. I would highly recommend them to anyone! read less

Our puppy had 2 accomplishments (housebreaking and usually willing to sit) before she spent 2 weeks with Holly. Flo returned a well-mannered, obedient and much calmer dog. She no longer jumps on anyone, chews our kids toys or counter surfs. Flo comes when called, is e-collar trained and can hold a down-stay for a hour. In addition to the 2 follow-up home training sessions, Holly has always happily answered all of our emailed questions. We never thought that we'd be able to experience the joy of a well-trained dog, but Holly made it happen for us! We can now take Flo many more places because she is so well behaved. From now on we will always return to Holly and Suburban K-9 Dog Training when we welcome a dog into our family. read less

Our trainer, Stephany, is a miracle worker. Our dog, Arroe, is a puppy. Just a year old and full of energy. She jumped on strangers, pulled on the leash when being walked, didn't have a clue what sit/down/settle/stay meant. With Stephany taking over her training with the two-week Doggie Boot Camp, our Arroe came back a wonderfully behaved puppy. Plus, Stephany was excellent at training we humans, too! Overall, I cannot say enough terrific things about Suburban K9 and Stephany!!! We highly recommend their services! read less

We have two dogs, a seven month old Lab mix and an eight year old mini Goldendoodle. Our experience has been all good, educational and inspiring. Sabrina brings energy,discipline and enthusiasm every session. The Lab mix is timid and shy. The patience Sabrina has shown is incredible. She answers all our questions, explains the plan and process well and sends regular status updates and pictures. She continually shows us what they are being taught and how to train them so we can continue the process at home and be consistent. read less

My schnauzer/husky mix, Morty, is so sweet but definitely needed help to ease his anxiety and overly excitable disposition around other dogs. We're about half way through our training package with Sabrina and the results are incredible. Morty no longer pulls on his leash, is significantly better with commands, and is quickly learning how to be chill around other dogs. Sabrina answers any and all questions. She makes training accessible, low stress, and so easy and repeatable. Morty and I were already two peas in a pod, and Sabrina's training has brought us even closer. Highest of recommendations to Sabrina and Suburban K9. read less

We interviewed with several other trainers that would NOT work with aggressive dogs. We were referred to Suburban K9 by another trainer that was booked solid and it is the best thing that ever happened to us.

Our trainer, Salina displayed a level of knowledge that was fantastic. She was never afraid of either of our very intimidating dogs. She offered no quick fix, but told us up front that is would be a 9-12 month project and would require that WE do our homework.

She coached us through successes as well as setbacks and always had a plan. Are the dogs perfect? Nope, but are they light years from where we started? Absolutely. They are both well on their way and as long as we continue to do our part I have total confidence that we now have the tools to doe everything necessary to get them there.

I have never done a review like this before and unless I find something or someone worth it, I may never do one again. I can, without reservation recommend Salina as a trainer and Suburban K9 as an organization. read less

Julia has been amazing to work with, she came in and evaluated our puppy and then provided a recommendation to move forward. She is never pushy trying to up sell us or get us to buy product. She is very honest and communicates well, letting us know what we need to work on, and she responds quickly if we have a question in between training. We can see a drastic change for the better with our pup and it is thanks to Suburban K9 and Julia. read less

She worked between both our new puppies one being a stubborn shiba inu and the other being a boxer pit mix who has anxiety issues when leaving my side.
My girls have had a total turn around since we started the training program. We had different goals for both girls and Brooke was phenomenal at showing us that these goals were easy to full fil! Sage the mutt is now fully off leash trained, she still prefers to be by my side but she has gotten so much better at responding to others if I am not around!
Both girls are well mannered and easy to maintain when we have guests or children over. Well trusted around the house. We have a peace of mind knowing our girls are trusted and safe when not home. Suburban K9 and Brooke have made our lives so easy.
We are so thankful for Brooke and the suburban K9 family for all they have done! we couldn’t have gotten ours girls to where they are today without this team. Highly recommend read less
