Great people, great trainers! Loved what we heard and saw! Its hard to find places and people this care about what they do!
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…
Brad is awesome
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
I couldn’t be happier with Brad and Helen at Carlisle K9! I’ve tried multiple dog trainers before them, and the results we’ve seen here have been absolutely incredible. Their knowledge, dedication, and approach are on another level. I’m so grateful we found them and would highly recommend Carlisle K9 to anyone looking for real results!
One of the most skilled trainers I’ve had, very intelligent and caring for his customers
My dog could barely sit now knows all the tricks in the book
Super friendly owners tons of information great experience overall! Learned so much about my dog!
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…
I had a great experience with this dog training business! Everyone was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming throughout the whole process. They genuinely cared about helping my dog and took the time to explain everything clearly. You can tell they really love what they do and care about the dogs they work with. I…
Awesome!
Brad was awesome!!
They’re amazing trainers and even more amazing people! Thank you Brad and Helen for all your help! 😎😎😎😎
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!
Informative & kind service! Thank you guys
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…
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brad and Helen are awesome! They really know what they’re doing and we saw a huge difference in our dog! They were always helpful and honest throughout the process, so if you need dog training, I definitely recommend Brad and Helen at Carlisle K9!
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!!!
Brad at Carlisle K9 is the real deal. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. You can tell he takes pride in doing things the right way and helping both the dog and owner succeed. I’d highly recommend Carlisle K9 to anyone looking for quality dog training from someone they can trust. 5 stars all the way.
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…
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 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.
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Carlisle K9 Dog Training. From day one, they did everything they said they were going to do—and then some. Our dog used to pull constantly on the leash and would barely listen to commands, but now the difference is night and day. He walks calmly, responds when we ask…
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…
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…
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 !!
Carlisle K9 Dog Training is the best in the area! The company is family owned and operated, and they have an excellent way of treating their clients. What I love most is that their training methods are natural and truly work with the dogs. The price is very fair for everything they teach your dog. I couldn’t be…
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,…
I got Keira, my 7 month old Belgian Malinois from Carlisle K9! I could not be happier! Kiera is confident, social, and very centered for a Belgian Malinois. Brad and his team clearly really know these dogs!!
Brad is a phenomenal dog trainer and person. He clearly really knows the Belgian Malinois breed and cares about these dogs. He gave me a lot of advice on what type of dog I should look for, and was open to showing me one of his puppies.
Brad at Carlisle K9 is awesome. He’s super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. We saw great progress and felt confident the whole time. Without a single doubt I highly recommend Carlisle K9!
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…
Amazing dog trainers. I previously had my two dogs in a 4 week board and train in Arizona but they still had several behaviors that needed more training on. In less than 10 sessions Brad fixed all of these issues way beyond my expectations. He educates not only your dog, but you as the owner on how to handle certain…
I had a fantastic experience with this training center. The trainers are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about the dogs. They explained everything clearly and gave me tips I could use at home, and I saw improvement in my dog way faster than I expected. The facility is clean, organized, and very…
