Warner K9

Easily the best money I’ve ever spent on a dog. The amount of time we would have invested in this, with subpar performance, makes it easily worth the price. She’s 100lbs of happy terror, but is super well behaved in public and at dog parks. People comment all the time and her recall was spot-on again today with TONS of cows walking around the park. I cannot recommend these folks highly enough. Spend a nickel! You won’t regret it.

Warner K9 is the place to go for your pup! Spoke with 6 or 7 trainers in the Bay Area and was shocked at the lack of knowledge on dog psychology by all of them. After talking to Scott, immediately decided to send our 4 year old pup to the month long advanced bootcamp. Our dog is now far more disciplined and now understands the language we communicate to him in - boosting our own confidence when taking him out! Thanks Scott & Meagan!

We got our Pup back from the training boot camp in January, and I think Scott and Megan are really knowledgeable. Our pup seems to have picked up great foundations, especially for off-leash walks and settling down in public places—kudos to their training. However, the reason for my single-star review is that they shaved my pup’s hair without consulting us first. Since he is a Samoyed, if his undercoat is exposed, he's prone to injuries or bruises easily. It’s been 3 months since we got him back, and we’ve been regularly visiting the vet for issues like bruises from his collar or injuries from playing with other dogs

Scott worked wonders with my dog. When she was adopted as a puppy, I had no idea what her breed mix was, or what or her personality would become. After a month I realized she was a German Shepherd mixed with...a Malinois. Not an easy breed. I enrolled her in puppy classes, private training, and socialized her with other dogs. As she grew bigger, she became more and more difficult to manage. Despite having worked with two competent trainers as a pup, she was still jumping on people, pulling on leash, highly reactive to dogs, and unable to settle. She was actually kicked out of a group dog walking pack! Friends suggested I find another home for her, which I did not want to do. After completing Scott's board and train program, she had transformed into a loyal, loving dog, who follows commands and is able to settle. I'm no longer afraid she'll jump on my frail parents, or worried that she's going to pull me over. She's a wonderful companion now, just a pleasure to be around. Scott is incredibly knowledgeable, a careful listener, a master at his craft, and just a really cool guy. Highly recommend!

Excellent trainer, even better person! We signed on with Scott for his "doggie boot camp" 3-4 week training while we were out of town traveling. Our Max got sick and stopped eating. Scott went way above and beyond getting Max to the Vet, advocating for him on our behalf, and really caring for him. A very stressful situation (2,000 miles away from our sick dog) was far more tolerable because of Scott. It was obvious during all our conversations that he truly cared about Max and wanted to see him well. We took a break to make sure he was fully healthy and sent him back for round two of training and Max is a new dog. He is exceptionally well trained but more importantly, he is more confident and happy. We have used other trainers and Scott's method is both more simple and more effective. I could not recommend Warner K9 more highly.
