We hired them about 6 months ago and the training they provided was excellent! We had a newborn and he wanted all of my husband's attention whenever he had our son. We just wanted to be cautious and make sure we had some training since he was technically the baby first lol. We still use the same techniques and he has been a much happier and well trained pup. My son and him are best little buddies! My son even tugs on his face and Boo doesn't mind at all!

Aimie was very helpful in identifying ways to work with our dog to improve her leash responsiveness, as well as altering some aggression.

Have no used her yet but proven dog training in ponder was 2500 for two weeks. They taught him to sit and down. He lost 15 pounds. They had me order two leashes which are not trained dogs or accepted at parks in my town because it's is the choke with spikes, slip knot and she used a shock collar on him

Model K-9 Dog Training's reply

Holly, So happy to have met you and T-Bone. I hate that your experience with the other company wasn’t good but glad you were happy with our training. Thank you for being so hospitable making me dinner as well. This is after I’ve worked with you now. When you originally posted, you had not worked with me yet. He is a great dog and has so much potential. Loved working with the two of you.

Once I filled in my request on Thumbtack 7-16-24, Model K-9 texted me, as did several other pet trainers. Amie from Model K-9 then phoned me within the ten minutes I said I needed. Discussion ensued on training needed. I feel she truly listened to me. Amie was able to be here for our first session this morning on 7-17-24. Both Bree and I felt comfortable with her right off the bat. She detailed the procedures or steps we would be working on with this first sesh. I was blown away by the complete attention she commanded from my active dog (preserverance-Yes!!). She also did NOT tell me what I was doing wrong (but I knew LoL). She simply explained why certain behaviors (mine) would not likely have a positive outcome for my fur baby. So, I can stay the boss (term used very lightly here) without giving mixed signals to my fur baby, a pack animal who wants only to please their leader, whether in the wild or domesticated. I'm looking forward to working WITH my fur baby not against her, thanks to Model K-9. Right now I'm excited and positive, and looking forward to our next sesh. Hope I pass, coz Bree has already proven she CAN listen AND obey.
