Our very bouncy Australian Bernedoodle is so smart but is an embarrassingly happy little jumping bean. Some how Amanda has not only put up with our chaos for a session of puppy kindergarten, but has successfully started to shape our floof into a semi functional puppy with two rounds of puppy boot camp. We are now onto puppy elementary and our 3rd round of boot camp and continue to appreciate Amanda’s training knowledge. We love that classes don’t feel strict with the expectation that us and our dog needs to perform perfectly. And it doesn’t hurt that our baby absolutely loves Amanda- I think more than she loves us 😂

Me & my dog Sammy Love K9 Academy! They have helped us so much! Not only did they help Sammy behave in public but helped me understand what I needed to do! We love the whole crew at LS K9 Academy!

Highly recommend Lake Stevens K9 Academy.
Kim is upbeat and positive but the real magic is that she meets dogs where they are—Nothing is cookie cutter, and there’s Amazing support and positivity each and every class.
Shy and reactive dogs blossomed as they were able to move at their own pace, and those ready for more challenging exercises were given those opportunities. Kim made sure class was meeting ALL participants needs.
