They were prompt in responding and had a nice conversation about my 2 dogs that made me feel good about sending them to be boarded and trained. They eased my mind about the experts who will be trading them.

My family and I had purchased Zoom session due to the fact we are almost 4hrs away from the facility. Given the challenges of in-person gatherings these days, their virtual training sessions proved to be not just convenient but also highly effective. From the first class, I was impressed by how well-organized and engaging the sessions were. The trainer did an excellent job of keeping everyone involved, whether through interactive discussions, live demonstrations, or Q&A sessions. They made the experience very enjoyable. The curriculum was well-structured, covering a range of important topics from basic obedience to more advanced tricks. I appreciated the clear explanations and the step-by-step guidance provided during each session. The trainer encouraged us to ask questions and share our experiences, which created a supportive community atmosphere and hearing other talk about some of there struggles and listening to the feedback from the trainer i was able to take note on “if this happens to us”. One of the standout features of the Zoom classes was the ability to receive immediate feedback. The trainer was attentive and provided personalized tips based on our individual situations, which was incredibly helpful. It felt like I had a front-row seat to expert advice tailored just for me and my dog. The flexibility of taking classes from home allowed me to integrate training into our daily routine seamlessly. I loved being able to revisit recorded sessions to reinforce what we learned, ensuring that my dog and I could practice at our own pace. Overall, the Friendly K9 Zoom classes exceeded my expectations! I’ve seen great progress in my dog’s behavior and training skills, and I feel more equipped and confident as a pet owner. I highly recommend these virtual classes to anyone looking to strengthen their bond with their dog while enjoying the convenience of online learning. Thank you, Friendly K9, for such a fantastic experience!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Friendly K9, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From the moment I reached out for information, their team was incredibly responsive and welcoming. They took the time to understand my needs and concerns regarding my dog’s behavior and training. Seeing this was the third attempt at training i knew the questions to ask. The group sessions were engaging and informative. I love the fact they are big on positive reinforcement techniques. I was particularly impressed by how the trainers tailored the classes to fit my dog's unique personality and learning style by having certain dogs in certain groups. You can see that they genuinely care about the well-being of both the dogs and their owners. Facility was clean, safe, and well-equipped, giving off a comfortable environment. I appreciated the transparency throughout the process, and tips that I could implement at home. After just a few sessions, I noticed a significant improvement in my dog’s behavior and obedience. The tools and techniques I learned have made a huge difference in our daily routine, and I feel more confident as a dog owner. If you’re looking for a place that combines professionalism with a genuine love for dogs give them a call. Thank you for your outstanding service; you have made a positive impact on our lives!
