⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough good things about Fully Loaded K9 Academy. As a person who has only ever owned senior dogs, I truly had no idea what I was doing when I adopted my puppy. Her behaviors felt overwhelming and I didn’t even know where to start. Taking the AKC STAR Puppy course completely changed that for me. Keith, Shannon, and Sarah are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about what they do. You can tell they truly care about both the dogs and the owners. They explain things in a way that make sense, and for the first time, I felt confident handling normal puppy behaviors instead of feeling frustrated or lost. I learned more in that class than I ever expected, and the difference it’s made with my puppy is amazing. I’m now happily enrolled in the next class and couldn’t be more excited to keep learning. If you’re a puppy owner or honestly, anyone wanting a better relationship with their dog, I recommend Fully Loaded K9 Academy to everyone. This place is an absolute game changer. 🐾
My dog, Cowboy, is a particularly stubborn boy, but that didn’t phase the staff at FLK9 one bit! They were extremely patient and understanding when Cowboy was a bit resistant to being trained. The staff consistently kept me updated about Cowboy’s progress, and we decided on adding another week to his training. This additional week, alongside the patience and support of the FLK9 staff allowed Cowboy to achieve the goals we set out for him. He is now much more disciplined on walks, and around the house. Very grateful for the team of trainers for their expertise and continued commitment in helping with any questions or concerns in Cowboy’s training!
FULLY LOADED K9 ACADEMY REVIEW: The FLK9A Staff and Training Program are Second to NONE! They have professionals with lifetimes of experience developing the bond between Trainers/Handlers and dogs. The effectiveness of their training is awe inspiring, not just in how efficient they are in connecting with their students (two and four legged!), but also in how they continue to support all their graduates after they have completed their courses. Few highlights (from both personal first hand experience and talking with other students/graduates): MASSIVE improvements in not just dog behavior, but the strengthening bond between handler and animal. OVERWHELMING Customer Satisfaction, with both students and graduates gushing praise over the positive impacts on their animal’s behaviors, the home/work environment, and how they can each relate/understand each other better. MASTERFUL training, based on the programs utilized within the military/law enforcement communities, backed by lifetimes of experience from staff members, able to be flexible to each individual dog’s needs, personality, and desired functional role by graduation. EASY ACCESSIBILITY, with handlers/trainers not just working individually with students, but also with multiple avenues of contacting them outside of class for support/questions. BOTTOM LINE: The FLK9A Staff and Program make learning/training Clear, Direct, Effective and FUN! They ensure everyone is supporting each other, through multiple training courses/objectives/goals, and let everyone know they have support/peace of mind throughout and beyond graduation! OUTSTANDING!
