Bolt dog training has been super helpful. Erikah is awesome- shes helped me with my dachshunds. It used to be a struggle on our walks- they would pull, bark at other dogs, bark at neighbors. Their reactivity was a daily problem. Even at home- if they heard someone at the door, or someone nearby outside, they would go ballistic with barking and it was impossible to calm them down. Erikah has helped address all of those issues. My dogs are behaving so much better, inside the home and outside! Its a work in progress, but as long as theres consistency and dedication to new ways of handling the issues, it does get better. Its worth it.

Braden did an amazing job potty training my dog. He helped teach my adopted, untrained dog to listen to commands and to walk on a leash. He was very caring and thoughtful. I would highly recommend him. Thank you for all your help.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Braden. His attention to detail and personalized training sessions really helped our pup, Kuma whom was a timid and reactive pup with both people and dogs in just about 2 months! We started training in March and finished at about May. Kuma is able to go on walks without her muzzle, listen to and learn commands immediately, is no longer pushing through doors to run out, has manners in the home, and is able to greet other people without being defensive. Before March she was fearful and would growl at people walking by, would pull on her leash while walking, would run out of the front gate, could not get near other dogs without growling, did not know down or stay commands. He helped Kuma in her confidence, not just with people and dogs, but with herself as well! Braden is very knowledgeable and helped us understand why Kuma was reactive or not listening to certain commands and showed us how to correct in a way that was easy and safe for both Kuma and ourselves. I definitely recommend Bolt Training and will continue to remind family and friends! Thank you Braden Pictured, our girl Kuma with friends she made while being boarded, which was another great experience with Braden!

Erikah is an amazing trainer. I have two chihuahuas who were going through behavioral issues regarding reactivity with other dogs and resource guarding and Erikah had been able to help them, as well as me, work through these issues. Since training its been day and night compared to how things were and with her guidance now my dogs are more confident on walks. I definitely recommend Erikahs training.
