Luego de rescatar a Mocha nos han permitiendo ayudarla a superar sus miedos y a que tenga una mejor vida. Mocha estuvo durante casi 5 semanas en las mejores manos las cuales no solo la guiaron a ella sino también a nosotros para no desistir en el proceso para poderle dar un hogar. Gracias! —————————————————————…
I can’t say enough good things about Carlisle k9. They did an absolutely amazing job with my dog Luna. The difference in her behavior, confidence, obedience, and overall attitude is seriously night and day. From the beginning, they were professional, patient, knowledgeable, and you could tell they genuinely cared…
I reached out to Carlisle K9 to get training for my mastiff puppy who was reactive to people and difficult to handle. Brad and Helen were very knowledgeable and skillful, and professional and welcoming. The facility is very clean and all dogs are well taken care of. They explained the concepts of how to increase…
Have a nice facility and great team
My dog could barely sit now knows all the tricks in the book
We rescued a puppy who has a lot of separation anxiety. Carlisle k9 helped us tremendously with being able to manage it. All the obedience commands she learned during her board and train have carried over seamlessly at home. She also gained confidence around other dogs. The trainers are passionate about what they…
Carlisle K9 was great. Facility is clean and top notch. Trainers were very informative and hands on way more than I expected. They are patient and thorough with the entire process. Our dog Cali completed the Advanced obedience training and the end result was phenomenal. I highly recommend Carlisle K9.
Brad, family and team worked their butt off to get our lovely Nova perfected for our home. Nova was saved from her street life where she was afraid of everyone, loud sounds, and was extremely clingy with her Mom who saved her. Mom was the only one she wanted to be around and would take orders from. That was…
My wife, Kayla, and I have used them with our last two puppies and will continue using them with any and all new additions to the fam. Love to support sincere, small businesses with family values. 5/5!!!!!!!!
Brad and Helen were absolutely amazing. Russo went from being a pain in the butt, to now accompanying me to school and pretty much anywhere else I go. I never thought that this level of training could be accomplished with my baby boi. The team opened my eyes to what it’s like to own a trained dog, and I will never…
We had such a great experience with this K9 training facility! The trainers are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about the dogs and their owners. They took the time to understand our dog’s needs and made the training process feel positive and manageable. We’ve already noticed a huge improvement in our…
Helen is the best! Thank you so much
I highly recommend Carlisle K9 for training my Cane Corso, Ivy. Brad and his team were personable, knowledgeable, and very attentive to my needs. They aren't a cookie-cutter outfit — they curated the training based on a thorough evaluation of my dog, which was so important to me as a client. Top notch outfit all around!
Brad and Helen at Carlisle K9 completely exceeded our expectations. We were struggling with our dog’s pulling, jumping, and inconsistent recall, and after their program the difference was incredible. They took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand and made sure we felt confident…
Highly recommended it was a great experience very professional
This place is absolutely amazing! Brad showed me the most awesome dogs including my own that a hardly recognized! He’s so trained now! Before signing up for training, Brad took plenty of time to explain and thoroughly describe the training process. They kept us updated the entire time! Now 4 weeks later and all…
Helen is extremely knowledgeable and did everything she said she would with our dog! If you’re looking for training, they’re the best!
Where do I even begin? Helen was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She took the time to answer every single one of our questions without ever making us feel rushed. She was thorough, patient, and genuinely cared about making sure we understood everything before leaving our dog in her care. One thing that…
They did an amazing job with both of our dogs! Brad has an incredible amount of knowledge. He’s one of the smartest dog people I’ve ever met! Thank you so much Brad! And thank you Helen! Helen is the best!
I’m absolutely amazed at how clean this facility is! I came for my dog’s evaluation, and the place was spotless. I came back to visit during training, and it was still spotless. Then on pickup day… once again, absolutely spotless. On top of having an incredibly clean facility, the training and coaching were…
Helen was absolutely amazing with our dog! Her knowledge is out of this world! I really wonder where she parks her spaceship. We couldn't be happier with our choice! Thank you Helen
We’re more than happy with the training. They’re absolutely amazing people and even more amazing trainers! We went to 3 other dogs trainers before finding Brad and Helen! If you want quality, honest, realistic training call Brad and Helen!
They have an amazing super clean facility! Helen is the BEST!!!
We recently completed a board-and-train program with Carlisle K9 for our new rescue dog and had a great experience. The biggest thing for us was trust. Leaving your dog with someone else is a big step, and the Carlisle K9 team earned our confidence from day one. They built a strong foundation of structure and…
We looked for dog trainers for months and toured several places. Brad and Helen are absolutely so nice! Thank you guys for All your amazing help! And we love the super clean facility. Go Cowboys!
Amazing dog trainers! We couldn’t be happier!
I called a few times before getting a hold of anyone, but after meeting the team in person and seeing everyone training dogs, I knew they were the place for me! They take their time with you explaining how dogs think and learn. They show you tips. They also show you highly trained dogs! I feel like I'm a part of…
One thing I can say about them is that they love their job of training the dogs that come through their doors. Very great environment for my dog and all the other dogs that I seen there. Once meeting Brad the owner of the place I knew my dog was in Great hands and was going to get the training it need to be what I…
A1 folks for training my dogs
Visited Carlisle K9 last week and had a great experience. We’re picking up our Belgian Malinois puppy next Thursday and couldn’t be more excited. Brad was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and straightforward about the breed, training expectations, and what it takes to properly raise and work a Malinois. What…
They’re absolutely the best trainers we’ve ever met! We called so many trainers and they’re the best!
They don't just train the dog; they took the time to train us so we could maintain the results at home. It’s clear they truly love what they do and treat every dog like their own. If you’re in Montgomery County and want real results, this is the only place to go!"
Amazing service! Best dog training experience ever. I highly recommend coming here.
My husband and I searched for a trainer for three months, and by the grace of God we came across Carlisle K9. One afternoon after lunch, we happened to drive by, gave them a call, and everything started falling into place for us and our Mali/GSD puppy. He was becoming uncontrollable—everything started as fun and…
I heard about Carlisle K9 Dog Training from a friend and decided to give them a call—pretty late at night, actually. From that very first conversation, I was blown away by their knowledge, professionalism, and genuine willingness to help. We scheduled an evaluation, and they were able to quickly and accurately…
Helen is an amazing dog trainer! She helped me and my dog become best friends again! Thank you Helen
Our Giant Schnauzer, Raider, was brought in after multiple desperate and subsequent failed attempts with other training programs. While we love him deeply and we have a strong bond with him, the behaviors he had were unpleasant, were causing problems in private and public spaces; and even worse, within our…
Brad and Helen are hands down the best! You know your fur babies are in great hands! All types of dogs love training with them and are purely and genuinely happy to train with them! I cannot express enough how amazing their skills with training is. Our Belgian Malinois, Cairo, just adores them and always comes home…
Amazing business , love these guys
Amazing Services .. Team is amazing .. I love the company… they trained my Dog.. And honestly Couldn’t ask for any one else for this!! Every dollar was worth it !!
If you’re looking for dog training, this is the place to go! Thank you Brad and Thank you Helen for changing our lives! We are forever grateful for your knowledge and willingness to coach us.
Amazing people and amazing with dogs!
Carlisle K9 is so much more than a training program — they are family. It was always going to take someone very special for me to trust with my only child, her breed, and my heart. Italian Greyhounds are gentle, fragile, and deeply sensitive dogs, and it became clear early on that Deluca was craving structure,…
Brad and Helen are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely cared about us and our dogs! Their knowledge is out of this world! They will teach you so much! They’re worth every penny we paid! If you have dogs call them! If you don’t have dogs and like nice people, call them! Thank you Brad and and Thank you Mrs. Helen!
My dog is night and day a completely different dog! Brad is so good at training and teaching! 100 percent recommend him to anyone looking for training.
I cannot say enough amazing things about this dog boarding and training experience. From the very first interaction it was clear that this was more than just boarding it was care, structure, and love. My dog came home calmer, more confident, and noticeably better behaved. The training was consistent, thoughtful, and…
Brad and Helen are absolutely amazing dog trainers with an incredible amount of knowledge! They helped us with our dogs tremendously and the new facility is amazing! So clean! Thank you guys so much for all you’ve done for us. We will bring all of our future dogs to you guys.
We brought our almost 2 year old mini Aussie in to help her with reactivity and to gain confidence. Helen and Brad had no hesitation on taking her in. By the first visit, there was already a night and day difference with our little girl. They were super accommodating and helpful while she was with them sending…
Brad and Helen are the best! They explained everything perfectly and did everything they said they were going to do! Awesome facility and even more awesome people!
We randomly called Brad and Helen looking for a puppy and got so much more with a perfect match with a 1 year old Belgian Malinois that brought so much love into our lives! Brad and Helen spoke with us for multiple hours explaining and showing us their training methods and how the process would work with Ollie since…
Carlisle K9 Dog Training has become so much more to me than a training service—they’ve become a lifeline. This is my second review for Brad and Helen because gratitude like this deserves to be repeated. My Belgian Malinois, Loki, graduated months ago, and he’s nine months old now—full of energy, intensity, and that…
We enrolled our 5 month old golden retriever into dog training with boarding. Before training he was a rebel child but after training he was still his playful self but actually listened to commands and was extremely well behaved. We are comfortable taking him to dog parks or out to restaurants knowing that he will…
So glad we found Brad and Helen. Our large dog, Cooper, became aggressive toward other dogs as he matured and eventually started fighting with our other dogs. Eventually, Cooper seriously injured one of our other dogs. We needed more than generic obedience training. We needed help managing a big aggressive dog and…
Amazing establishment. Super helpful, the owners Brad and Helen are the best in the business 10/10 recommend.
They are great. Awesome help with getting my dogs in line.
Helen was extremely informative and coached us through the entire process. We’re so grateful for Helen and all of her insight! Thank you Helen!
HELEN IS AMAZING! Fantastic work Helen! Thank you for everything.
I cannot recommend Carlisle K9 enough! My dog just finished a 5-week program, and she came back an entirely new dog in the best way. She used to be very timid around men, and the trainers were so patient and intentional in helping her build confidence. The progress she made is unbelievable. You can tell they truly…
I can’t even begin to say enough good things about Brad and Helen at Carlisle K9. My Belgian Malinois came home from training a totally different dog (in the best way possible), but what really blew me away was how they coached me afterwards. They didn’t just hand me the leash and say “good luck” — they took the…
These dog trainers and rescuers are top-notch! They've got a real knack for understanding dogs, turning even the most challenging pups into well-behaved companions. What's even better is their dedication to rescuing dogs, giving them a safe place and a second shot at happiness. You can tell they genuinely care about…
