What Our Clients Are Saying

This is the best money I have spent on my puppy to date. He went from pure spastic to a more laid back, more obedient baby! We continue to work daily, but he listens so well now. Highly recommend Total K9!

Courtney

We sent our sassy 9-month-old lab, “Alligator” to boot camp (stay and train), and four weeks later, we got back a sweet, well-mannered pup. Before training (and even after other trainers), he was completely out of control—biting, barking, pulling, and ignoring every command. We were exhausted and nothing had worked—until Tressie. She completely transformed him and spent time teaching us how to maintain his progress. If you’re even considering a trainer, stop looking—Tressie is a miracle worker!

Krissy

“Thank you SO MUCH! We are so happy with all the great work you did with Coco. She’s a different dog – more confident, a good listener, and a pleasure to be around. She went from a crazy dog to a trained dog. It’s truly amazing! I’m so glad to have found you!

FAQs

Ask an Experienced Trainer

Will my dog really benefit from an immersive training program?
Absolutely! Our immersive Stay & Train program helps correct unwanted behaviors by giving your dog structure, exercise, and mental stimulation. You’ll not only see results—you’ll also understand the why behind the behavior and how to maintain progress at home. Dogs thrive with purpose, and this training sets the foundation for lasting success.
Our stay-and-train program offers a personalized, immersive experience where your dog stays with us for multi-week, full-day behavior training. Each day includes structured skill-building, obedience training, physical exercise, confidence work, and appropriate socialization—both indoors and in real-world public settings. We also prioritize downtime to help your dog rest and reset. This advanced program is designed to align your dog’s natural instincts and personality with our proven balanced training methods, creating lasting, positive behavior changes.
You’re not alone—many dogs struggle on leash, whether it’s pulling, freezing, reactivity, or aggression. With patience and a tailored approach, we’ll uncover what your dog needs and teach you how to become confident walking partners by the end of training.
Training dog owners alongside their dogs is crucial whether you come to us for individual coaching or an immersive session. Training you ensures both the dog and you as their owner understand each other’s expectations and communication styles. It empowers you to become a confident pack leader and helps you manage your dog’s behavior consistently and effectively.
Absolutely, aggressive, reactive, or anxious dogs are often just misunderstood and/or incorrectly trained. While these dogs often get a bad reputation, they’re not bad dogs. Contact us for more information on how we can help you and your reactive dog.
Yes, all dogs not only benefit from training, but require it. Great training strengthens the relationship between you and your dog. No matter the breed, age, or temperament, training creates structure, builds confidence, and deepens communication. By tailoring our approach to your dog’s unique needs, we make the process rewarding, effective, and key to a lasting bond.

Dog training is our full-time career, passion, and your dedicated lifestyle. We have dedicated years to our business and furthering our own training to be most effective for the dogs and their owners. Big-box trainers often have less focused experience and provide less individualized training for your dog and its unique personality. While these classes can be a fun and casual foundation, they are not typically effective long-term.
