We worked with Holly Wengerski and we thought she was terrific. Admittedly, at first I thought she might be too tough (this is our first dog so we have no point of reference) but I very quickly realized that Holly had sized up how Ranger "operated" and in order to achieve the training goals we had for him (better walks- no pulling on the leash and dragging us along, stopping and refusing to walk, coming (the first time) when we call him, not charging at guests when they come to our front door, sitting and staying etc.) we had to be tough. We had several sessions with Holly, and though it was quite expensive, I believe it was money well spent. Appointments were easy to set up, Holly was always on time (early in fact), and each session I felt was very productive- she seems to have a great understanding of how dogs think and behave. We spent time in our backyard, walking in the neighborhood, at the beach, and at Hollyfeed practicing the skills in "real world" situations/environments. For several of the sessions we even had Holly's dog accompany us to help Ranger along with his training. Holly would then send an email with "homework" to practice. I think Holly is a great trainer, and after working with her, I am a much more confident dog owner and Ranger is a much better behaved dog. read less Allison QuackenbushAlex & Oscar are fantastic!

I got him as a puppy and as he grew, it became obvious the he was going to be strong and stubborn. I was getting really frustrated with his pulling on walks. So based on a personal recommendation from his daycare, I called. He has grown into a gorgeous lovebug. He's still feisty but he listens to commands and he's a joy to have in public. I love showing him off because he really helps to educate people about how gentle pitbull type dogs really are. Thanks Suburban K9. read less TORI K.Nick Smoots was our trainer for our two Whoodle puppies. We signed up for the 15 week in home training.

It was quite shocking on how fast our puppies listened to Nick (not us mind you). We thought it was a losing battle with the puppies. We did all the "homework" every day and it was amazing how they responded. We could not have done it without the training from Suburban K9. We worked well with Nick and his training techniques and found him to be very professional and knowledgeable. He has a great personality and the puppies respected him, TOTALLY. We spent a lot of weeks on the "recall" because of us having two dogs. We are going to be fine tuning what we learned from Nick almost every day. If we need any more guidance we will certainly contact Suburban K9 and request Nick. Thank you read less Mylinda LaPagliaMy Boston Terrier's and I had the joy of working with Remi!

Before training, my pups were absolutely wild and I didn't know how to reign them in. Remi didn't just train my pups, she trained me too! Every time a new command was taught, Remi explained to me the importance of it. So much has changed in such a short time. I'm truly grateful for the training Remi gave us and seeing the difference in my pups is worth all the hard work we did. I would recommend Remi to anyone!! read less Michelle Casey

When he first came home with us it was obvious we were going to need a ton of help getting him trained. We have other pups in the house but we felt like the best route was to contact a professional. We came along and found Suburban K9, every part of the process was easy and very fitting to what we were looking for. Once training started, we were paired with our trainer Erin, I truly can’t say enough great things about her. During our first meeting she took the time to really understand all of our goals and explained how they meet these goals during the coming weeks or training. After Dash headed off to start with Erin we were updated every step of the way! We received adorable pictures and videos of everything he was learning and all the fun he was having. On his go home date, Erin worked with us showing us everything he learned and how to continue his awesome training at home! If I can go back I would definitely do it all over again. Definitely give Suburban K9 a call if you looking for training! We can’t wait for our next session! Thank you Erin and Suburban K9 for working with Dash! read less j h.

Gordon is our most recent rescue and he is a powerful and stubborn boy. At home, Gordon is cute, cuddly and full of fun. On walks, it’s a different story! Because he is a pit bull, we were worried about how people were reacting to his ridiculous behavior around dogs in the neighborhood. Nick Smoots swiftly came to the rescue!! He assured us that Gordon’s behavior is really no different than many dogs but agreed that because he is a pit bull, he needed some obedience training immediately. I was shocked how quickly Nick’s support helped Gordon learn how to respect us. We needed Nick’s firm approach to Gordon and appreciated Nick’s kind heart as well. Nick always made us feel that Gordon was “A good boy” even though he was quite naughty. I highly recommend Nick to anyone who needs help with a tough pup. You will feel supported and safe. Training Gordon is hard work but it is paying off. I am so grateful for the time we spent with Nick. Gordon can still be ridiculous on walks sometimes but we are equipped with the right skills to redirect him and actually enjoy being in the neighborhood. Than you so much, Nick, for all of your help! read less Ann CygnarAlex Basset has completely turned our little guy around. He was always a good little dog, but he had an attitude.

With Alex’s superb training and knowledge about dogs, she helped turn our Max into an amazing dog and she helped train us, mainly me, on how to deal with him as well as our other little dog. I could not recommend her and K9 Dog Training more. She does truly amazing work, cares for the dogs she trains, and is a very caring person. If you want a dog trainer who will help you make a real difference in your’s and you dog’s life, have Alex and K9 Dog Training train your dogs. You will not regret it! read less Gregg R.Suburban K9 was a perfect match for us.

In particular "K9" sent us Oscar who took our 14 month old Labradoodle puppy Zoony to his home for two weeks and brought back Zoony 2.0! Before meeting Oscar we were quite discouraged. We had tried six weeks of group lessons, 3 in-home lessons, and numerous YouTube and Instagram videos .Our puppy was not listening beyond the treats and walking was a combination of barking and lunging. Zoony 2.0 is now completely calm and attentive to us on walks. She has consistent response to basic commands and what we saw as reactivity has resolved. Certainly the 2 weeks without Zoony were tough. Oscar knew this, and was in frequent communication with detailed emails and videos throughout the two week process that Zoony was with him. We are now at the phase of "owner training" that K 9 includes with the puppy training and can truly appreciate Oscar's clear instructions, gentle corrections, and sincere personal attention to us. Now it's up to us to be the owners Zoony needs to be her best self. read less David A.

We did house calls and also the board and train with trainer Rebecca. We have a boxer and Rebecca started with her very early on at around 3 months of age. We loved having a few house calls prior to Rebecca taking our dog for her board and train because our dog got comfortable and knew Rebecca very well by that point. The two weeks our dog was in board and train, we got updates including pictures, videos, and the skills she had mastered. Other than the obvious of our dog getting the obedience skills she needed, we loved that we knew she was being loved, snuggled, and disciplined in a cozy home not a kennel type situation where the dog sat in a crate all day listening to other barking dogs and only coming out to train. Our dog was so loved while away from home and when Rebecca comes to our house now, our dog gets so excited to see her! We highly recommend this company for dog training and would do it again if we ever have another pup! read less Nicole D.Frank helped me with my 10 month old rescue.

The dog was not used to being walked and starved for affection … a little too much …. Jumping on people, etc…. Frank help me learn the tools to engage my dog in acceptable behavior.

She has done an outstanding job with my little guy Bilbo. I got the two-weeks boarding training option and she worked miracles. Bilbo came back following commands like I never thought he would. She taught him to sit, down, stay and come on command. She also got him house trained which I tried for almost 3 months with little success. The training doesn't end with the two weeks. She has made herself available for question and assistance to include two follow up training sessions. If you are looking for help with obedience training for your little buddy, I would recommend Erin. She has done an OUTSTANDING job with my Bilbo! read less Patrick W.
