MLK9 Dog Training

Andy and his crew have been AMAZING!!! My DOBERMAN puppy (9 months) is full of energy and needed some solid training to keep him from being “too much” for others. I left him 4 weeks ago at MLK9 in tears, feeling that I was abandoning him. Andy sent me weekly videos of their training process, and communicated with me via text letting me know how things were going. Today, he brought my baby back to me at MY HOUSE, and spent several hours going through what had been accomplished and how I can continue the process to insure success. I took my pup on a walk after Andy left, and it was like a brand new dog! Minimal pulling, attentiveness to my directions, and HAPPY!!! He’s responsive to his commands, and tuckered out after all of his adventures. I cannot recommend this training enough!!!!

We just got our 7 month old golden retriever, Winnie, back from her 4 week board and train with Andy, and the difference is AMAZING. Before training she was your typical puppy...jumping, counter surfing, chewing on everything, and struggling on her leash. She also had anxiety around other dogs,new people and new places. Now, she’s calm, confident, and well mannered. No more jumping or gnawing, and walks are actually enjoyable! Andy is incredibly friendly and clearly loves what he does and it shows in the results. His communication throughout the entire process was fantastic and gave us so much peace of mind. We truly feel like we’re finally “living our best lives” with Winnie. We highly recommend Andy and his team. Don’t hesitate, you won’t regret it!

Andy is awesome! He really knows what he’s doing with dogs. I love the communication that he ket with us, informing us of everything that was going on. The videos each week of Daisy were fantastic! I also really appreciate that he invited us out before committing to anything to show us his facility.

I was definitely hesitant to leave my 8 month old boxer puppy for three weeks but I’m glad I did! She came back a different girl. She was so much more calm and she had manners! Andy and his team were great with her. More importantly, he tolerated me. I was pretty much a basket case with her gone but he was great reassuring me that she was ok and getting along well. He sent videos every week of her progress and took the time to answer my questions. I am very pleased with her progress and I look forward to working with him again on the next steps of her journey. Thank you Andy for all that you did to help her and I work better together.

We are so grateful for Andy! Our boy Brooks started showing signs of aggression around one year old, mostly seeming to stem from fear and uncertainty. He's a bully mix so we knew we had to get control of him before he realized his full strength. He was fine on his own but pulled constantly on the leash if we walked him with our other two dogs, tried to fence-fight with our neighbor's dogs, and growled and barked at just about anyone and anything, including his own people if they walked downstairs too quickly or got too loud. After four weeks of board and train with Andy, Brooks came back to us with a whole new attitude... in the best possible way! He's still our sweet goofy boy who loves his chew toys, but he also actually LISTENS. Andy warned us Brooks would test us once he got home, and he has, but with our own lessons learned from Andy we now understand how to correct his behaviors in the moment without getting mad or frustrated, and we have been able to take him on walks with our other two dogs without him pulling, barking, or acting out when we see other people or dogs. We've always said he's such a smart dog but didn't know how to keep him under control, and now thanks to Andy we can actually see how smart he is and truly enjoy working with him and learning to trust him and ourselves with the tools Andy has given us. We all have more confidence and an overall MUCH improved quality of time together with less anxiety, less uncertainty, and less reactivity. We sent one of our older dogs to training several years ago in a different city and can say from comparing the two experiences that Andy is top notch in terms of patience, methods, facility, and pricing. Thank you!!
