I had been trying for a year to find a home for my German Shepherd, Lando, who has dog aggression issues - with no luck. I had also tried to find a trainer for him for a reasonable price who could help him socialize - again with no luck. Finally, I reached out to K9 Mastery - very last minute because I needed to re-home Lando prior to my move. I heard back from Corey within about 24 hours, and we had a great email convo about Lando’s issues, and that’s when I realized that Corey has a very special knowledge and ability with dogs. Our subsequent phone conversation only confirmed that! He explained that Lando would need to be socialized to the rules of the family - his “pack” - and would need both time and the main people in his family to be involved. That’s when I decided to offer to pay for Lando to be trained with his adoptive family, because though I could’ve done it with him, I could see that it was more important that he knew the rules with his new family. I asked Corey to help me find a family through his connections - and wow!! He found an AMAZING couple who already had a dog, but were willing to give Lando a try. We arranged to meet to see if Lando would be a good fit, and Corey came to help out and to assess Lando. Let me just say, I was BLOWN AWAY, by Corey’s skill with Lando!! BLOWN. AWAY. It literally took him about 30 minutes to move Lando from aggressively biting at the other dog to being able to walk calmly next to her around the park, and then sit quietly and totally relaxed while she stood and looked at him about 3 feet away! He was also able to prepare Lando to go home with his new family, just an hour later, with the other dog in the car! Corey then made plans to go to the family’s house that evening and work with Lando some more. You have no idea how happy I was that Lando was in such wonderful hands! Took a massive load off my mind and heart! Up until that moment, I was facing the crushing possibility that I would have to take Lando to a rescue - and then Corey rescued him, and ME! lol! Good gracious, what a HUGE RELIEF that was! I’m so grateful to Corey for taking the time to educate me about what Lando needed, and to the family that was willing to take a chance on my sweet dog. Lando is literally about to live his best life, and I’m so happy for him! And I can honestly say this: choosing Corey to work with Lando was one of the BEST decisions - easily one of the top 10 - I’ve ever made. Thank you Corey!! 🙏🏽

My 16 mos. old dog learns so fast after her first dog training recently. It is amazing to watch how she improves so much in a short time. Christie did an outstanding job with her.

My boyfriend and I adopted a 6 week old pit bull named Huck in November 2013 the very first night we brought him home to feed him, I leaned down to pet him and he immediately starting growling. We tried to work with him ourselves but his food aggression started escalating as he got older and he also started being very aggressive towards us and family before he was 4 mo. Old. Our vet at the time told us that he needed to be neutered ASAP. So after we did that, we expected him to be more calm and less aggressive. Nothing really changed except he became more aggressive to the point where he would never let us give him a bath, clip his nails, being at the vet, pet him while he was eating or had any kind of bones to chew on, putting a collar on him, getting close to him and trying to touch his face. He would lash out at us if we did any of those things. It broke my heart more than anyone could understand because I was always so loving and affectionate towards my other dogs and the fact that I couldn't even love on my dog just ate me up. I became very scared of him and anytime he growled at me which was daily, I just left him alone. Me and my boyfriend have taken him to a few dog trainers in the past but we were turned away because they said he was too agressive and he should probably be put down. We even were recommended to go see a (Dog Phychiatrist) so he could be put on meds forever to help him be obedient. When I found out how much that was, it was insanely amount of money that we just couldn't afford. I was actually starting to consider to have him euthanized because so many people have told us that he is just to dangerous. I felt so alone and I just didn't want to be scared of my own dog anymore. My final attempt to get him help was actually on thumbtack. I listed my needs for a dog trainer and explained how agressive he was and expected to get no reply back from anyone because of his behavior. But then within 5 minutes of me posting my request, Christie said that she could help us. My boyfriend and I were kind of skeptical about it at first cause we didn't think she fully understood his condition and that maybe she just turn us away like all the others. But she explained to me that dealing with agressive breeds was actually her specialty which made me feel a lot better. On His very first day there of training he acted up pretty bad and Christie told that Huck needed to stay there for a while so she could work one on one with him without us being around. It was the hardest decision I ever had to make at that point but we decided to leave him there. It was very hard on us but we would have rather had to say goodbye for a little than have to say goodbye to him forever. Christie made us feel better by sending us emails and pictures almost daily about Huck's progress. We were finally able to bring him home 3 months later and we could not be more pleased with his behavior right now. I can finally say that we are able to put Huck's collar on him, clip his nails, and my most favorite part of all, he finally let's us love all over him and get close and touch his face. We know that he still has a long way to go, but he has made so much progress and we are so thankful from the bottom of our hearts for Christie. She is absolutely amazing with all of the dogs. You can really tell that she is genuine and really cares about what she does. We are learning so much from her and Ms.Jessica. That is why we drive 3 hours to see her for Class every Saturday morning from Houston.
