Renee did wonders with our baby girl Evie. She is a rescue dog and tried to train us. Evie is calmer and more alert now. She kept us updated constantly on Evie's progress so we could see the changes in behavior. We can't thank Renee enough. She is an exceptional trainer.

Plain and simple...Renee and her team know what they are doing and they do it very well. Renee listens to you and develops a game plan around the results that you are seeking. She listens to your concerns and then caters the training experience to get the results that YOU want. It is easy to see that Renee and her team do more than traindogs; they love dogs. Before Renee: A very lovable dog (towards people) that totally lost his mind at the mere sight of ANY other dog; AGGRESSIVE barking, pulling, and snarling. After Renee: STILL a very lovable dog (did NOT lose his loving personality as a result of successful training) who I can walk confidently on OR off a leash with or without other dogs around. Did I mention my dog is 11 years old? I elected to do the behavior modification program where my dog stayed at Renee's. He has joint issues, is a bit overweight, and had medical requirements that were catered to and my specific care needs honored. Message Renee and give her a chance to show you what she can offer.

I highly recommend Renee and her team! They were kind, knowledgeable, and made me feel confident leaving my girls for two weeks.
Rachel trains my girls. My girls did not listen to basic commands and would drag me down the street when I took them for a walk. After they were trained by Rachel, they came back listening and I could walk them using the loose leash. I highly recommend High Ground!

It was obvious from our 1st meeting that my dog would be cared for as if she were family. I was impressed with the feedback that I received on a continuing basis concerning Zoe’s progress. I’m truly thankful for the noticeable improvements in my dog’s temperament and personality. I highly recommend High Ground K9 LLC.

The ladies at High Ground K9 kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the two weeks. Whenever I had questions Renee responded immediately. She is affordable and has flexible payment plans. My dog, Pachino, now walks without pulling, will come when called, will go to his “place”, stays, and sits on command. When picking him up, Renee and Melissa had me practice with commands and made sure I felt comfortable before leaving with Pachino. They gave me valuable information about dogs in general that will take me a long way with Chino. I am so pleased and looking forward to more trainings in the future to help with socializing my pup!
