About
Others do not do what we do. We change your dogs behavior by changing their state of mind, much like you would teach a child what is or is not socially acceptable. We address the root of your dog's unwanted behavior(s) instead of simply changing their body position, for a more lasting, consistent correction. We teach them how to behave without being prompted by a command or a treat. I love saving animals from potentially going back to a shelter or risking euthanasia due to behavioral issues. I enjoy restoring an owner's confidence in themselves and their dog, and restoring the connection between owner and dog that may have been dwindling or lost. Giving owners that "a-ha" moment when they understand WHY their dog is acting poorly is one of my favorite moments in any of my classes, and then equipping with the tools and confidence they need to take back control is even more rewarding!

Very knowledgable and professional trainer. Explained what and, more importantly, the why of this natural dog behavior based training program. While not cheap, I think it is a very worthwhile investment for insuring my 8-week-old German Shepherd Sophie will be the great companion dog I want her to be. She and I have a trainer for life and we will have another visit when she is 6 months old.

United K9 has been great so far! It's not like obedience training and really does take a more deep-rooted approach to change behavior rather than simple commands and repetition. We have a lab/boxer mix who's very high energy and tends to be anxious and dominant. We have worked with Ashley and she's gone over the basic rules of the house as well as nutrition and other key pieces of information - our dog has responded well to the rules so far and it's allowed her to have more confidence in us as her leaders. Ashley has also been very prompt with setting up last minute visits to go over some of our dog's more difficult behaviors and we appreciate her patience while we continue to work through things! We would definitely recommend United K9, especially if you have a stubborn pup and think you'll need multiple sessions.

Ashley was very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. This is type of training is exactly what we were looking for in classes. No clickers. No bribes. Just basic understanding of our puppy's thought and learning process and consistency. We look forward to a harmonious home thanks to Ashley.

Ashley was wonderful with my anxious and hyperactive dog! He was tearing everything up and jumping on everyone that came over. Not to mention humping me. I tried obedience training, and figured I was the problem, but I didn't know how (or how to fix it). After ONE visit from Ashley, he has already improved, and I am excited to show off his progress once he has really gotten into his new routine

Working with Ashley was very easy and efficient. In the matter of an afternoon she taught us the knowledge and tools we needed to continue working with our new 1 year old dog as well as our 10 year old dog. We love that this form of teaching does not include treats and can be used at all times. We are very pleased how well our dogs responded to the teaching and behavior modification. Thank you Ashley!
