With a focus on what motivates each dog, Joshua helps owners understand how to work with their pets, resulting in significant behavior improvements. Owners have seen drastic changes in their dogs, including improved leash behavior, increased recall, and reduced anxiety.

    If you notice all the reviews are 5 stars, that is why I picked Joshua. Because I saw 5 stars and I'm glad I did. I am more than happy with his service. And 5 stars is not enough. I have a 5-year-old border collie who was running around like a maniac. And would run off and not come back. With Joshua's help We have a training plan. My dog is more responsive listens. Behaves, and it is a pleasure now. I can take my dog places and not worrying about her taking off. I cannot thank Joshua enough for his help. And giving me the skills to train my dog

    We had an outstanding experience with Joshua and couldn’t be happier with our dog Wilbur’s training. Wilbur completed a 3 week board and train program with King K9 Academy and the results have been truly impressive.

    Josh (King K9 Academy) is amazing! He tailored Brick's (1yo Rottweiler) training to accomodate my schedule and specific needs/goals. We participated in a 6 week e-collar training. Brick was a good dog that now really thrives in our family thanks to Josh's training and guidance. Josh listened to the needs and goals I wanted to work on such as managing Brick in public around people/other animals and accommodated by having a training session in the community. Josh has an exceptional ability to listen, observe, address, and gently point out both the owners and dogs behavior for successful outcomes. I would highly recommended King K9 Academy!
