Really happy with K9 Dynamics Dog Training. Jessica and Alex were very patient with my pup, Mavis, and with me as her owner. She learned so much on the first day, and they focused on the exact issues I was concerned with. They not only trained us both (yes, I had some things to learn, too), but provided us with a tool box of skills to use in new situations. And they continue to be there for support and ongoing training, as needed. I highly recommend giving them a call if your furry buddies could use some help with their "social skills".

Working with K9 Dynamics has been such an awesome experience. They have super knowledgeable and friendly trainers who know how to break things down so it’s easy to understand. A great facility and the owners are very kind! My dog is so much better behaved after going to only a few training sessions. I have a better relationship with my dog now because of it. I recommend K9 Dynamics to all my friends and family.

Took my puppy for training she was having issue with learning her basic skills, she also had issue when it came to my other dog, she refused to listen around her she wanted to do and be wherever she was and was very dominant around her, had very bad leash habits around her. They were more than happy to allow us to bring my husky to work with my puppy around her, that did wonders. I never thought I would be able to walk these two without it being chaotic and I live in an apartment walking is something we do very often. Dynamics Dog Training will work with you on the best way to help train your dog!

I started looking into dog trainers around the time my Chihuahua mix was almost 4 months old and fully vaccinated. I’m going to be honest, when I went to my initial consultation I hesitated because I wasn’t sure how I felt about using an E-collar, and I was a little bit anxious about the price. A few days after my initial consultation, I talked with Jessica on the phone and she very patiently answered all my questions, I also appreciated that I never felt like she was trying to pressure me into using their program. At this point, my gut instinct told me that this was the right training facility for me and my dog, and I am so glad I made the decision to go with them. Alex and Jessica are very knowledgeable and patient, and when they tell you that they will spend as much time with you and your dog as it takes to ensure that both you and your dog understand the training, they mean it. Before I started this program, my dog would shake in fear anytime he saw a stranger and after six weeks I feel like I have a different dog, he is so much more confident and less anxious.

I cannot say enough good things about Sit Means Sit training. My Zoey girl is 10 months old and taking her on a walk or anywhere was a nightmare. She barked, pulled, and jumped on people. It was embarrassing. Before training she would not come when called and basically ignored any attempt to tell her what to do. To say she is stubborn is an understatement! After her first day of training I was amazed at the change in her. She still has her sweet, loving, and excited personality but she now minds. I can call her to come and she comes. She doesn’t dart out doors, walking her is a joy! Thank you Jessica and Alex for enabling us to take our sweet girl in public so everyone can see what a truly great pup she is without all of the madness we had before. Highly recommend this place!

Jessica and Alex were awesome. At first, we were skeptical of 3 days only of training. They definitely proved themselves. Not only did they teach Nelli basic commands, they spent time with us working with our dog. Teaching us how to be better dog parents. They came to our home also and worked with us, we live a good ways from Huntsville. Impressive. It’s not where they keep your dog for 2 weeks, give it back and say it’s trained and you have no clue. I highly recommend Jessica and Alex, very professional, competent, knowledgeable and trustworthy. We went from having a runner to an enjoyable member of the family. Thank you to Jessica and Alex for an excellent job with Nelli. Best investment we could have made. Karen and Mark Hart

I have been so satisfied with the training. The trainers are professional and helpful with all questions or concerns. My puppy has learned all the skills needed for me to have him in public with confidence. The group classes are so valuable for continuing his training and getting him acclimated to obeying while distracted by other dogs. The trainers are very safety aware during group classes and help with any training issues during class as well as being available for additional questions. I have access to group classes throughout his lifetime and can progress to his level of accomplishment!

When I called K9 Dynamics I had a dog that was aggressive, leash pulling, mind of his own German Shepard. I needed a lot of help with our boy, which mind you is 10 months old. I was skeptical, since they were the 2nd trainers I called, and the first ones didn't help our pup. After the first day training session with Jessica and Alex I had a completely different dog. I was sold... They showed us what to do, and how to work with our pup. We followed all the directions and our boy started doing what he needed to do. They were very helpful when I would text or email videos with questions on what I might be doing wrong. I couldn't have asked for more passionate dog trainers than Alex and Jessica. We now have a calm, loose leash walking joy that listens. I highly recommend K9 Dynamics dog training. They truly know what they are doing, and care so much about the animals, and it shows.

I wanted a medium size dog to take with me on my wildlife photography outings...fast forward to now- I have a 78 pound rescue...she is leash reactive - making it difficult to take her while carrying expensive camera gear-much less taking her other places also. We tried traditional trainers and while the trainers were great, traditional methods just did not work with Willow. I certainly was hesitant to use e collar method, but meeting with Jess- she explained the training in great detail-easing my mind - I can say now with the knowledgable training of everyone with this facility - Willow has gained confidence in her impulse control and reactivity , and I have gained confidence in learning to read her body language and triggers, allowing me to not only take her out in public again - but also with me on my outings..A plus to K9 Dynamics is the fact that you can arrange private lessons if needed and once you graduate the program - you can continue with group lessons, this is huge for me -training does not stop when you graduate...and knowing they are available for any additional problems that may present. Everyone at K9 Dynamics seems to have such an understanding of how to train the dogs ( and the owners)

These guys are the best! My wife and i have a Belgian Malinois pup that needed a good way to expell some energy and we wanted to be able to keep her in check while taking her out to have fun. Jessica and Alex know their stuff and taught her but more importantly taught my wife and I how to work with her at home. Dog training isn't an instant fix that only happens in the studio, it takes work outside of training days and these guys know how to teach the owner as well as the dog. I cannot say enough praise for this team of amazing individuals.
