I cannot say enough good things about this company! They helped my young service dog in training, who was struggling with a lot of anxiety, and the difference has been incredible. The trainers were patient, knowledgeable, and truly cared about my dog. They took the time to explain each step, gave me practical tools I could use at home, and made sure we never felt rushed. My dog is now so much more confident, focused, and relaxed in situations that used to overwhelm her. It’s such a relief to see her progress, and I feel much more supported on this journey. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for humane and effective training, especially for dogs who need a little extra understanding. They are very passionate about what they do and take the time to personalize the experience for each dog and owner. They also gifted me a harness and some other training tools at no extra cost, thanks again!!

We trusted Vit with our 11 month old Great Dane. She's our Baby and as hard as it was to leave her, it was so worth it in the end. She left a mischievous teenage dog with no major issues but a lack of consistent listening. She came home after 30 days behaving like an adult dog with impulse control. We're not done with our training but very happy with her progress. Vit was available to me any time to check on my girl. I would recommend him to anyone!

We rescued a 3 year old German shepherd Max and found Vit and the K9 training center online. At our consultation meeting we were thoroughly impressed by how well Vit understands the psychology of the dog. He stopped leash pulling in the first 5 minutes of our meeting. We signed up for board and train that day! After three weeks of training max is leash and e collar trained and is following his taught commands. Do not hesitate to work with Vit and K9 Training Center. We will be sending future dogs to him for training.

I 100% recommend K9 Training Center! They are very knowledgeable, and offer humane, constructive dog training. Vit also worked with me and taught me how to be a better dog handler for my dog! You dont just pick up your dog after training and never look back. They stay in contact with you, will answer any questions or concerns you may have after training. Private one on one sessions after training are included to make sure the skills they have taught your dog, and you, are still intact! I have family members who are so impressed with my dog's obedience and performance that they are considering sending their dog to board and train with them! Thank you K9 Training Center! Thank you to Vit, Katherine, Rylen and staff ❤️ Our full story: My husband and I got our first dog, Rehgar. I had dogs growing up, but my husband did not. Rehgar is his first dog. We trained on our own. Our dog wasn't a bad dog but had "selective" hearing and would only obey commands sometimes. He also pulled like a wild child during walks and any time we were out in public. That made it unpleasant to take him places, and we were embarrassed. We wanted to be able to take him places with us and enjoy owning a dog. I wanted the dog owning process to be a pleasant experience for my husband, so I started researching different training options. K9 Training Center was on my list to check out. So this is what ultimately made the decision for me; I work at an animal hospital and came across a client who had a very well-behaved cane corso. I complemented how well behaved the dog was and asked if they trained him or if he was trained somewhere. They said they took him to K9 Training Center. After seeing how well-behaved their dog was, I knew they'd be able to handle my dog, so I did more research. I finally scheduled a consultation. We met with Katherine, who was very knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions. We set up a date to drop him off and the rest was history. I was really anxious during the time Rehgar was away at training, but the videos and pictures that got posted on social media, and sent to me, made me feel at ease. I -really- appreciate that they do this for their clients. After Rehgar's training, he is now very attentive, immediately responds to commands, and walks like a dream on leash. I took him to a pet store and he did very well! I was so amazed and proud of my dog, instead of embarrassed. Proud dog mom moment 🥹 I recently returned for a private follow-up lesson with Vit. Turns out Rehgar is still doing very well! It was me that needed more training this time. Vit gave me constructive criticism on how to correctly and properly continue to handle Rehgar's training at home. I was unaware I was the issue. We will be setting up another private lesson again soon to check that we are both continuing training correctly. 😊

Katherine and Vit are exceptional at K-9 Training Center. They trained my dog Vito to be a well-behaved attentive boy. During his training they took very good care of him with a very kind and professional approach . Vito is like family now with them. He occasionally goes back for refresher training and he is always so happy to see his friends. Their techniques are highly effective and efficient in a very humane manner. I highly recommend anyone to have their dog trained by K-9 Training Center.
