I am writing this review as a cautionary tale about an individual who cared for my 5-month-old puppy for what was supposed to be a 2-3 week period. I had to request my puppy back after only one week, during which I received no updates unless I reached out to her first. The updates I did receive were vague and lacked any visual proof. The only video I received was from her husband using treats to teach my pup to sit and go to a mat, despite my puppy already knowing several commands. To make matters worse, she put a shock collar on my dog without my consent with a feeble excuse of getting him used to it. In her pictures, she falsely claimed my dog was a "nervous pup," which was entirely untrue as my pup was nothing but friendly and affectionate to everyone. When I received my dog back, he was noticeably different. He would not bark and avoided all men, something that had never been an issue before. He would become anxious and hide whenever I raised my voice. I have asked for a refund of the $400 I paid her, but she has refused, even asking me for more money due to a client's late payment. It has been a month, and I am still trying to get some of my money back. This person is dishonest and unfit to care for pets.

Confident K9 Dog Training comes highly recommended by me - and I mean everyone! Rachel is an incredible trainer who takes the time to understand each dog's individual needs. My dog, Thor, is highly active, intelligent, and stubborn, but Rachel trained him to be incredibly obedient within just one week. Even more valuable, Rachel taught me how to effectively work with Thor and provided follow-up training sessions at my house. I was so impressed with her service that I trusted Rachel to board Thor and my other dog, Hippo, while I went on vacation, and she continued to train them during their stay. The dogs adore Rachel and get excited every time they see her. Confident K9 offers affordable boarding and training services that are above and beyond what you would expect for the price. I will only entrust my dogs to Rachel and Confident K9! Thank you again.

Up till now, my encounter has been fabulous! The lady is immensely informed and I am eagerly looking forward to proceeding with their amenities!

Dakota, our stubborn, smart, hyper, and aggressive dog, was trained magnificently by Confident K9 Dog Training. Despite her persistent efforts to get her way, we now have a handle on her behavior. Thanks to Rachel's techniques, we are learning how to train her the right way, and it has led to significant improvements. Dakota has become more relaxed, making our walks more enjoyable, playtime more fun without any biting, and there is no more digging. We all love her new "place," which is something new to us, but it has proven to be highly effective in calming her down. We are ecstatic to have a less aggressive dog, thanks to Confident K9 Dog Training. We look forward to teaching her more tricks and continuing to reinforce her good behavior.

Meet Trooper, the German Shepard featured in this post. He's my boy, and has been trained by the wonderful and talented Rachel. Rachel uses patience, kindness, and plenty of treats to train the dogs under her care. While this may take more time, the results are well worth it: a happy, confident dog that thinks through commands rather than being forced through harsh or brutal tactics used by some trainers. If you're seeking a calm and kind-hearted trainer, look no further than Rachel. Give her a try!
