Holly was amazing! My two 9 month Cocker Spaniel brothers fought over chewies, (bite me a couple times when I got in the middle), would not stop peeing on my white carpet, went wild over the birds in my complex, (even after puppy 1 and 2 classes. ) I sent them to board & train with Holly for 2 months.

When I got them back, they were still outgoing and happy, but more confident, each now goes on the treadmill twice daily for 1/2 hour, does not bark when I vacuum, and on command stays on their own raised dog beds with chewies. When people walk in now, they do not bark or jump on them. Instead, they stay on their beds until I release them. When they were 1 year old, they stayed with Holly another 3 weeks and she walked with them using e-collars. Now I can walk them without their pulling or trying to chase birds. When I take them off leash and let them run, they both come back right away when called. This is just some of what Holly did with them.

She also came to my home 3 or 4 times to train with me and set up my condo so the dogs could fit into my personal lifestyle and work routine. I just turned 75 yrs, and live alone now with 2 well behaved l-1/2 old loving companion cockers. IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY. I wanted to get them trained right, and she did. I am very happy with the results and look forwards to the next 15 years, (God willing), with my boys.

p.s. Holly, feel free to give my phone no to anyone who wants to speak to me.

w go on the treadmill, housebroke them, stopped the fighting, got them to stay on the dog beds on command, and set up my condo so they fit into my personal routine and workday. They were still trying to chase birds outside and now that they were a year old she kept them another 3 weeks to work them with e-collars. I sent a time during lunch to enforce the training for a couple of weeks. Now at 1-1/2 yes I can take them together anywhere, shopping, walking and they listen to me and are well behaved, still outgoing and friendly. She gave them more confidence too. I am 75 yrs old, and they are wonderful companions now. I was so lucky to find Holly. More...

We highly recommend Heel k9 and we have only positive things to say about our experience!!! We sent our very energetic, impulsive, and misbehaved 9 month old golden retriever, Autumn, to Holly for the 8 week obedience program and we are so happy we did! Holly truly understands dogs and can figure out what’s going on with his/her behavior and why. Holly worked with Autumn on all of her issues and when Autumn returned, she was completely transformed into an easy dog to have around! Aside from the amazing training, Autumn was truly cared for during her stay! Holly sent pictures, video and FaceTime to show me how she was doing and Autumn was always so happy!!! We are so grateful that we used Holly and her team to care for and train Autumn. The results are incredible. More...

We sent our Belgian Malinois puppy to K9 for 5 weeks and she came home a well disciplined, happy dog. Holly was so great with her and her team did a wonderful job of balancing training and play time. I chose K9 because they keep the dogs in living quarters near people at night and not in dog quarters. This made the world of difference to me because our brat is spoiled. We are happy with the results and highly recommend this training program. Its also a really nice facility with plenty of room to roam. I also love that the dogs get regular trips to the beach.

To put it simply, I'm convinced Holly is a dog whisperer. Our puppy Mosa went to a board and train with Holly for over a month for basic obedience issues and impulse control. Mosa came back a NEW dog. She's still a fun-loving goofball, but she's in an entirely different mindset, always eager to listen and work. Our continued work with her at home has been extremely successful thanks to her time there. We were also able to visit Mosa at one of the Heel k9 locations, and I couldn't have been more pleased! The dogs have tons of room, yet the setup is very intentional to keep all dogs of varying sizes/etc. apart. In regards to Holly and Heel K9, there is no one I would feel more confident in training and caring for my dog. It is clear that Holly has as much knowledge as she does care and respect for animals. She has also been extremely kind and helpful to us during the entire process, always encouraging us to come to her with questions and for help. We will absolutely be boarding with Holly in the future. I would give her 10 stars if I could! More...

Holly is a phenomenal trainer and an equally good person. Our new puppy Mosa is an extremely high energy Golden Retriever who needed a bit more guidance on obedience training. Right from the start Holly made us feel confident in Mosas abilities and made us an equal part in her training by providing updates and fielding our many many questions. We received multiple updates each week in the form of texts, photos, and videos. Holly also allowed us to come visit their beautiful farm location in Arroyo Grande to get a first hand look at where Mosa was staying and how her training was progressing. Upon Mosas return home Holly made time to do some in person training and brought us a goodie bag full of toys, a place mat, and treats! We have been so happy with Mosas behavior and have been able to continue her positive learning environment at home thanks to Hollys training. We will definitely be boarding with her soon as well. Highly recommend her as a trainer! More...
