Boss K9

"I am so grateful I found Boss K9; I have owned a few dogs before I got Basil and those were all normal experiences. I rescued Basil who is a husky/Australian shepherd mix. A few days after getting him I started to notice he was more fearful of loud noises and movements than any other dog I have had. This turned into being fearful of people and other dogs which turned into aggressive behaviors. Nipping and biting family members, growling, lunging and I was unable to take him out into public and no one could visit us. I was truly at my wits end but I didn’t want to give up on Basil; I thought he could do more and thanks to Boss K9 he can. We have been working with Anna, Audrey and Bethany for over a year now and Basil has improved leaps and bounds. His first time he did a 5 week board and train and we just finished another board a train of two weeks for a touch up. Basil still has limitations and there will be things that Basil won’t be able to do but with Boss K9’s help he has many more things he can do now that he couldn’t before. The team at Boss K9 is so committed to helping you and your dog live a fulfilled life together it shows in everything that they do. I recommend Boss K9 to everyone I meet; I have a more extreme case with Basil but they were more than willing to take his case on and now I have an amazing resource to get training for both Basil and myself. I have a lot of hope for Basils future and wouldn’t have that without the great team at Boss K9"

"Boss K9 has been invaluable for our family! We sent our energetic pup Teddy there for a 2 week board and train when he was 7 months old - 3 months before our daughter was born. They provided us with the tools and skillset to ensure Teddy could join every aspect of our family’s life through his wonderful training - long loose leash walks, proper interactions with our cats and newborn, and a schedule that worked for our family. The follow up lessons were exceptional for maintaining all of our skills and honing in on areas that needed fine tuning. THANK YOU to BossK9 for helping Teddy be the best, most loving dog he can be."

"Boss K-9 was amazing with our dog Wiggins. Wiggins is a pandemic dog who had no socialization. We adopted Wiggins and learned he not only was anxious he also exhibited resource guarding. This is when dogs exhibits behaviors like growling, lunging, or biting over food or toys. It was so bad that we were nervous to go near him when he had an object for fear that he would bite us. Sadly, we thought we made a mistake adopting him. After a 4 week board and train class, Wiggins came home as a new confident, attentive and happy dog. He was a completely different dog. We are now comfortable taking him out in public knowing he has the skills to be in control and still enjoy his experience. We recently went to a festival with him, and he was AMAZING. He listened to his commands, was attentive, and did not bark or growl at people or other dogs. He was so good a stranger came over to us and complemented how well behaved he was. Boss K-9 has a deep knowledge of dog behavior, excellent observational skills, and the training chops to quickly accomplish their goals. But what truly sets them apart is their ability to empathize and successfully interact with human clients, as well as their dogs. Patience while training dogs is important, but patience while training PEOPLE is essential, Anna and her team have an abundance of both. They are both capable of thinking outside the box and creating a training plan perfectly tailored to each client’s needs. I cannot recommend them highly enough!"

"I did the 4 week board and train. I was super nervous to be away from my pup Remi for that long and Anna was very patient with me and answered my questions throughout the process. I took her back to board and train for touch up. My pup NEEDS structure and schedule and that’s the most important lesson I learned from them. Remi and I moved back to Texas but the training has stuck with her over a year later. People ask me all the time where I took her because the places they tried didn’t work or training didn’t stick. Worth every penny and forever grateful for the work they did."

"We connected with Boss K9 after a challenging experience with another trainer. From our first conversation with Anna, it was clear that Boss K9 care deeply about what they do. Fig (our dog) struggled with severe anxiety and reactivity. He had challenges meeting new people, going to new places, and even going for walks. Fig did a 4-week board & train for all of those concerns. When he came back home, he had improved so much! They gave Fig the confidence to trust himself & us, and taught us how best to communicate with Fig! We took him to meet family & friends, and every single one commented on how much of a change they noticed from before & after training. And it didn't stop with the board & train! We had several follow-up visits so far, and have more to come to ensure that we are continuing to reinforce the right behaviors and to fine tune our communication with Fig. Anna even drove to my apartment so she could see one of Fig's behaviors in the environment where it was occurring! He walks by our side without problem when we ask him to on walks, he meets new people with excitement & joy, and we can clearly communicate with him when it is time for fun so he can really enjoy himself! They have a tremendous support from their growing community of dog owners for good reason. I fully recommend them for any training needs - simple or complex. I am so thankful to Boss K9 for all they have done for us & Fig, and for so many others."
