We had an amazing experience with K9aholics! We enrolled our rescue dog, Petey, in their 4-week training program (5 days a week), and it exceeded our expectations.

Vegas is now very neutral with strangers and actually loves our friends and family. His leash walking is impeccable, and he has learned so...read full review
