What recent reviews say

Andres at Camp K9 trains reactive, anxious, and unruly dogs through one-on-one sessions and board-and-train programs, but reviewers consistently praise his real skill: teaching owners how to keep dogs trained after they leave. He sends video updates during boarding, explains the science of each technique in plain terms, and stays accessible by phone or text long after training ends. Families report dogs who once lunged at bikes and strangers now walk loose-leash, and many return for boarding refreshers when traveling, confident their foundation holds.

Praised for
  • responsive trainer who explains the 'why'
  • trains owners as much as dogs
  • transforms reactive and anxious dogs
  • daily updates and photos during boarding
