They are fantastic trainers. My puppy came back home much better behaved, and I now understand my part in helping my dog do the right things. He is much happier and I am far less frustrated.
We brought our rescue dog here for obedience training and were very impressed with the results! Our dog has a ton of energy, but Jon and his team helped improve her demeanor and taught us how to effectively walk and train her with a pinch and ecollar. Highly recommend! We also appreciate the chance to board our dog here from time to time so she can see familiar faces.
We adopted a deaf pit mix puppy into a home with a six year old pit mix we adopted 4 years ago with severe anxiety issues. The puppy was aggressive with the adult which was very concerning to us. As a last resort I decided that board and train was my only choice to save this puppy, and it did. It’s only been 2 weeks since he has been home- but we’ve got this! It’s on me to see the pre-aggressive behavior and intervene and I can. Board and train is a big step emotionally and financially. We have experience with special needs dogs but I was over my head here. My first responsibility was to the existing dog, and the idea of surrendering a deaf puppy was so disheartening I would have tried anything to avoid it. The bottom line here is this,. Jon and Indy K9 saved this dog’s life, there is just no other way to say it.
I chose Indy K-9 (owned by Jonathan Combs) as a trainer for my dog, Boss. I did extensive online research and conducted phone interviews searching for the right trainer. After a lot of research and speaking with Jonathan directly, I selected his 30 day course for Boss and couldn’t be happier with the results! Boss is well behaved and Jonathan has taught me so much as a new dog owner. I’ve had many questions over the last year and he’s always available to promptly reply and help me be the best dog owner I can be. Boss now visits Jonathan for boarding when I’m out of town for work. I never worry about Boss when I’m gone. I know Jonathan’s depth of knowledge, dedication to his clients (human and furry ones 🙂) and passion for the well-being of dogs are used to keep Boss physically safe, mentally happy, and emotionally secure. I’m thankful that Boss and I found Indy K-9! Sherry & Boss Foster
Took My Dog Joker to Jon at Indy K-9 due to Joker needing some behavior training. Honestly I was a bit skeptical due to past experiences with other Dog trainers. So I didn't know what to expect when it came to results at the end. Fortunately Jon was the first trainer that gave me the training results that he said he would in regards to Jokers training. And I am Very Happy I decided to have Indy K-9 do Jokers Training. I know there is still some at Home work of Me being consistent and working with Joker daily to keep and further the training Joker received from Indy K-9 as expected with any training, but Jon was able to get a Good start on it with Joker and got me to a point that I am Very Happy with.
