    **** stands out as not only an exceptional dog trainer but also as a wonderful friend. My corgi, initially fearful and aggressive towards other dogs, found a new path under ****'s guidance. From our first consultation, **** instilled a deep sense of confidence in me, teaching me effective ways to communicate and train my dog. Over the course of seven sessions and through consistent practice, the bond between my dog and me has grown immeasurably stronger, almost as if I have a completely new companion. The transformation in our relationship is a testament to the philosophy that the outcome of training hinges on your commitment. By following ****'s advice, asking questions, and maintaining consistent practice, I firmly believe anyone can significantly enhance their relationship with their dog. ****'s expertise is a game-changer.

    **** was amazing to work with and helped my *********** transform our relationship with *****. We were at a point where euthanasia was a possibility for our dog due to his aggression and reactivity. During training, **** not only helped train our dog but also taught us how to be more effective handlers. He helped us gain more confidence and knowledge in handling Blaze and being more in tune with him, which has helped ***** be happier & more controlled when were out. We now feel safe taking Blaze on trails, walks, and being in spaces where other dogs might be present - things we never thought wed be able to do. **** and his training program have truly changed our lives with *****. I was hesitant to the tools and methods at first but **** was amazing at explaining every step, the philosophy behind it and teaching us how to properly & safely use training equipment. Now, I couldnt imagine not using it! The price is so worth it and more - weve gained so much knowledge about training that we can use for a lifetime. The length of training and amount of sessions is perfect to establish the tools/methods as habits and work with your dog in between. Scheduling is super easy and communication is top notch. You will not regret working with **** in any of the programs he offers!

    Review Ancillary K9 First off, **** is an incredible dog trainer! The quality of our lives improved dramatically as a result of his teaching; and the outcomes? Amazing!!! Just Amazing!!! I moved to ****** from ************* to reunite with my X wife and inherited her two dogs. Their behavior was so disruptive that I questioned whether I could actually reconcile our relationship. My X wife tried several dogs trainers with no noticeable results. Feeling hopeless; she just gave up. I was so desperate to help, I began to search for high quality dog trainers. After careful consideration I chose Ancillary K9, and although the price was higher than most; reading all the rave reviews gave me a sense that this was likely a good choice. I soon realized, that this was a GREAT choice with jaw-dropping results! After the first session, **** gave us weekly homework and with each week, the dogs learned these skills. By the end of 6 weeks they were blowing our minds! They could sit, heel, and down-stay. They could sit while I walked away, they could stay down while we watch a movie or entertain guest. They successfully participated in the Furry ****** 2 mile walk with hundreds of dogs around. We could take them patio restaurants, jazz concerts, we can park them outside a restaurant or store without incident. Sounds unreal doesnt it? I have photos to post. Some photos will show a 3rd dog. Shes my 10 year old who came with me. We have all moved back to ************* now and are planning our Wedding. Perhaps the dogs will be part of the ceremony theyre so well behaved. ****, you are the Master of your craft, Youve helped me connect with these dogs and remind me why we I love these these wonderful animals.AND ****, lets face it.you saved our marriage! The Pups: Richocet, Riot, and ****** all say thanks. Thanks so much.

    **** has been amazing to work with and with his techniques, skills and knowledge, we've seen a huge transformation in our pup and thus a better relationship between our family and our pup. Quick backstory: my husband and I have three small children and (after much research on breeds) decided on a Bernedoodle. Off the bat, at 8 weeks old, our pup was very mouthy. The mouthiness intensified as he grew. With that, we started puppy training at a well-known local dog training franchise and had zero positive progress with our pup and the mouthiness worsened. Then, at 6 months old, we had become discouraged. After talking with a handful of animal behaviorists in the area and still no luck, we began to dig deeper into the situation hoping to find a trainer to help us with our mouthy (but still sweet) pup. After much internet research, we came across Ancillary K9 and between the positive reviews and the fact that they deal with court ordered dogs on behavior issues we decided to give it a try and we are thankful we did! Now, 9 months old, the mouthiness has dramatically subsided and walking our pup is pleasant (and we're only a few training sessions in)! THANK YOU Ancillary K9!
