Sequoyah K9 Academy

Howard did an amazing job with our 3 standard poodle puppies. We sent all 3 to the initial 3 week training. We get numerous compliments on how well behaved they are now. Highly recommend and look forward to working with him again.

Sequoyah K9 training is the perfect place to bring your pup/dog! I’ve been taking my 4 month old golden retriever there for private puppy classes, and Howard is nothing short of amazing. He uses simple explanations and instructions to teach you how to train your puppy at home, and he makes it fun. He has helped my puppy work through her fears of other dogs and other environment factors all while making it look so easy. I highly recommend Howard and Sequoyah K9 Training for any of your dog’s needs! We are so grateful we found them! 😊

Howard at Sequoia K9 Training is amazing! You can really tell how much he loves what he does. Our German Shepherd puppy completed the 3-week puppy program, and the results were incredible. Howard took so much time with us and even helped our four kids learn the training techniques so we could all stay consistent at home. He was patient, professional, and his communication went above and beyond. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Howard and Sequoia K9 Training to anyone looking for a trainer who truly cares!

Howard and the team turned our boy into a proper gentleman! In a few short weeks he was taught proper obedience, commands and lessons that have changed our entire dynamic at home. We highly recommend giving your dog the chance to excel by bringing him to Howard, you will not be disappointed!! Life changing! Worth a million dollars!

Amazing! Our 2yr old Golden was a sweetheart but was impossible to control when he would get excited or see other dogs. It was a safety concern for little kids and older people who would visit us, and we stopped walking him because he was so obnoxious on a leash (which of course only made him more feisty because he wasn't getting enough exercise.) A friend recommended Sequoyah K9 Academy, and while it was not inexpensive, it seemed like a good investment so we gave it a shot. We got weekly updates and got to see him socializing and learning a lot. The team communicated well and tended well to his diet and health. When we came to pick up day we could hardly believe what we were seeing. Our "85lb puppy" was attentive, walking nicely on a leash, staying put when told to, and could walk past other barking dogs without a care. Coming into this I was a little worried it would affect his normal personality, like we'd have to treat him like a solider all the time or we'd lose the fun family pet we loved, but that's not the case at all. He's still his same goofy sweet self, and he loves treats and playing and pets just like always, but he'd just learned a ton of impulse control and ability to act appropriately. Ultimately it makes him happier because now he gets to socialize a lot more and we gladly take him on walks again. There is a lot to learn on pick-up day about how to reinforce what he's learned, and it does take some effort back at home to teach him that the rules still apply here too, but those have mostly amounted to minor corrections and reinforcement. Thank you K9 Academy team, and a special thanks to Howard who was amazing with our dog, took good care of him, and was happy to take plenty of time working with us on pick-up day. We'll be back for boarding and brush-up lessons, and would highly recommend their training to anyone who loves their dog but needs it to behave better as a part of the family.
