Our one-year old puppy did partial board/train with K9-Aholics after developing some nervous behavior. The staff was absolutely wonderful and accommodating to our unique work schedules and ensured training was tailored specifically for our pup. We are thrilled with the outcome! We have a more relaxed, well adjusted, and well-behaved pup now!!
Took my French Bulldog “Harrison”here for their two week board and train. They kept up with letting me know what was going on with him with pictures and videos. When we picked him up it was like a new dog. He listening so much better now and he is less reactive. I work him 10-15 minutes day now and he is still…
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough good things about K9aholics! We enrolled two of our Great Dane puppies in their two-week board and train program. Unfortunately, one of our girls wasn’t able to complete her training because she needed emergency surgery after complications from swallowing toys before her board and train…
Very impressed with their care and training of our pup Tilly. They took her in at 4 months. We got a daily report card with videos (MWF) and pics (TR) on her progress and even concerns. They gave us the tools to help with Tilly’s puppy behaviors. I do like how they took her on field trips to also help behaviors in…
They were amazing to my sweet dog! Training a happy and hyper golden retriever is tough but the staff at K9Aholics did fantastic. We were sent updates and pictures everyday and given specific instructions upon pick up. Everyone was so kind and I felt pricing was great for how much we received.
My dog did great through her training and came home with a great baseline in obedience and command knowledge.
Wonderful staff and a great place for getting your dogs trained
K9aholics Dog Training - Bear (German Shorthaired Pointer) We enrolled in the three-week training course with Haliegh as our main trainer. When we dropped Bear off, he was house trained but had no real control and was extremely high energy, even after I’d take him on 3-mile runs. Our household has four kids under…
We recently found K9aholics and have boarded our two adult pit bulls multiple times. We have tried multiple dog boarding/training facilities in Louisiana and Virginia and this is easily the best one! The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and the services provided are all top notch. K9aholics provides…
We would definitely recommend using K9Aholics for training. We dropped off our 5 month old boxer for the two week board and train. When we picked him up after the two weeks he is a new dog. What he learned in the two weeks is amazing. Every staff member we dealt with was extremely helpful. We are planning on continuing Ronan’s training with K9Aholics.
I just wanted thank the entire team for the amazing work done with Luna. Training at home is going GREAT! Out walks are now enjoyable. I cannot thank you guys enough!
My wife found K9aholics and they provided a great service. The service was outstanding, and they followed up with reviews to keep us informed on Oreo's progress. I was relieved and pleased on Oreo's progress and the environment that he was being trained in. Thank you K9aholics because Oreo has gotten meaningful…
We had a phenomenal experience with K9Aholics. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. Our dog came back better behaved, more confident, and easier to manage in everyday situations. The training made a noticeable difference, and we truly appreciate…
K9aholics and Haleigh are the best! We have 2 spoiled rotten labs and the team at K9 have been amazing. They have worked with the dogs AND the owners to setup a personalized program that instills training and discipline without harming their sweet Labrador personalities. We have done boarded style training at the…
I had such a wonderful experience with K9aholics in boarding and training my mini dachshund. I loved getting my doggy report cards every week and they were so responsive and really do care about your dog. I had a great experience with all the trainers and personal at the company. This place is a wonderful…
Highly recommend K9aholics! Haleigh and her team are amazing trainers, they trained us just as much as our dog. They’re patient, knowledgeable, and truly care. Before training, walking Jeffrey was a struggle—biting the leash, yelping, and chaos just getting out the door. Now he’s much calmer, and walks are actually…
We had such a great experience with K9aholics for our 1-year-old Belgian Malinois, Nala. She came home so much more confident, well-mannered, and relaxed. They worked on obedience, off-leash reliability, recall, counter surfing, helped her feel more comfortable around men, and gave her structure and routine which…
Haleigh is very professional and to the point. My wife and I appreciate how much effort she put into our 1 year old Belgian Malinois. I would highly recommend her services!
Makayla and the rest of the trainers have been absolutely amazing with my dog Scooby! There’s a newborn in our house now and we had some concerns with boundaries, but they have played the foundation for us and given us the tools to build on that and have a normal life in our own house again, even with the addition…
I have noticed a remarkable difference in Daisy since her time at K9aholics. Days before, I took her to a pet store and she pulled on lease and barked at another dog. Yesterday, she did none of that. She used to chase my cat and still does some (she's only 8 months) but will stop when I say Nu uh. Also doing much…
