What Our Customers Say

Many of you may already be familiar with my beloved Pittie, Baxter, who has a bit of a reactive streak—especially when faced with passing delivery trucks or bicycles. Recently, we unexpectedly welcomed a German Shepherd puppy into our family, and I found myself in need of professional guidance to help Baxter adjust. I'm pleased to share my strong recommendation for Good K9 Institute. Mandy has been instrumental in not only addressing Baxter's reactivity but also in helping our family navigate the process of integrating our new addition. The transformation over the past few weeks has been remarkable. Baxter is not only tolerating the puppy but has also started to play and bond beautifully with her. If you're seeking expert training and support, I highly recommend Mandy and the team at Good K9 Institute.

"Mandy at Goodk9 has been a game changer! We were able to bring a new dog home because she gave us the confidence and the skills to properly introduce our existing leash reactive dog to other dogs, something we’d been very nervous about. When our new dog started to develop crate anxiety shortly after we got him we immediately reached back out to Mandy for help. After our first session with Mandy we saw such an improvement in our dogs relationship with his crate that we’ve been able to continue to grow over the sessions we did with her and the work she had us doing in between. She’s wonderful to work with and brings out the best in our dogs! You can tell how much they enjoy working with her. We’re so grateful for Mandy’s help and would highly recommend her for all your dog training needs!"

"Mandy has been a godsend for us with the new dog we added to our house. The dog we already had is leash reactive, and Mandy's work with him and us gave us the confidence to adopt a second. After our new dog started having crate anxiety, we knew Mandy would be able to help us. After just one session, it felt like she had swapped our dog for a new one! He immediately seemed more relaxed in the crate, and the tools she gave us and additional sessions have helped us make huge progress with him. I would work with Mandy for any dog I wanted to train."
