Cultured K-9

"One of the best puppies I've ever gotten and she was very knowledgeable with the breed and explained everything. She even went above and beyond and drove her 3 hours to my house for me! Guaranteed 2 year contract as well... this sweet little girl came from a loving family as well."

"Caitlynn is amazing. We sent Ripley, our three year old lab mix, to Caitlynn's two week program and she came back a completely different dog. We got this dog since when she was six weeks old and her behavior had grown intolerable over the past three years - we dealt with constant attention barking that made me insane, horrible leash pulling to the point that we couldn't take her anywhere (and even taking her outside to potty was extremely challenging), barking at any and every noise from outside, regularly jumped on us and visitors, was very bitey during play, scratched our walls to bits from jumping at doors, etc. etc. Caitlynn did a very thorough evaluation and determined that all these behaviors were stemming from nervousness and a lack of mental stimulation. The quickest path to success seemed to be to send her Caitlynn's two week board and train program to help reset and start fixing these behaviors. One week in and we saw incredible improvement - our leash pulling maniac of a dog was able to walk beside us on a leash for the first time in her life. We were even able to assist our THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER in walking this previously uncontrollable dog. I never thought I would be comfortable letting my child hold onto Ripley’s leash before this because she would have been yanked off her feet in a second. We were thrilled. After the full two weeks I was nervous our dog would start to revert back to her bad behaviors once she was home with us. Other than a few small hiccups that were caused primarily by training errors on our part, she has been amazing since she's been home. My home feels so much more peaceful now that I'm not being barked at all day. I can walk my dog at home and in public with one hand holding the leash and the other holding my little girl's hand. We can go on adventures and bring Ripley along. We know how to respond if she gets too excited when company comes over. She knows how to stay on her bed in the kitchen now so she's out of the way when I'm cooking. She no longer bolts through doors as soon as they're opened. She understands boundaries during play a lot better and is more fun to interact with. The training speaks for itself, but I also want to add that Caitlynn is amazing to work with. She and her husband are very professional and courteous. She gives detailed answers to any questions I have and does her very best to make sure we know exactly how to handle each training scenario as it comes up. I feel she had to train me just as much if not more than my dog, but she was very patient with both of us during the whole process. I will say, I wasn't very prepared for the amount of maintenance work I was going to need to do once Ripley came home. But it's true what they say, if you don't use it you lose it. Our dog was accustomed to blowing us off and getting away with everything, so it was a big adjustment for all of us to introduce standards that needed to be upheld. Thankfully, Caitlynn has been here every step of the process - and we wouldn't be where we are now without her first doing the work of getting our dog into a headspace where she was willing and able to listen to us. Thanks again to Cultured K-9 for putting us on the path to success with our dog. You have changed all of our lives for the better."

"I highly recommend Caitlyn at cultured K-9! We sent our reactive/ food aggressive four year old shepherd mix to her for a month long training and they were able to make so much progress with him in that short time. He is now able to walk on the leash without pulling and be in public without having a breakdown and we are now able to handle his food aggression and resource guarding in a much safer way. We look forward to continue to work with Caitlyn in the future, as she has ensured she is there to help our continued success. The only thing is we wish they were closer to us!"

"We have had such a great experience with Austin and Caitlyn. Our sweet Charlie was hard headed, strong and just did not listen. In 2 short weeks, we have seen their knowledge and patience in training Charlie. I have been amazed at his accomplishments. I highly recommend."
