I wanted to give a huge THANK YOU to K9 Command!
12 weeks ago, our 10 year old lab tore her ACL. Resulting in the need for major orthopedic surgery. This process has required multiple vet visits, physical manipulation, X-rays, surgery, complete kennel confinement, 6’ leash walks for all potty trips, & zero playtime.
Powder went through the Gold Program as a puppy & we have maintained her handling/training throughout the years. After this surgery process, I have NEVER been more grateful for that training! Even her vet and orthopedic surgeon have applauded her level of tolerance and excellent behavior.
The investment we made to make her a well behaved family member has been paid back in unmeasurable amounts.
She is well on her way to a complete recovery & more healthy, happy, playful years!

I’ve seen Mark with K9 Command twice now. Once for a puppy head start program with my German Shepherd that gave us all the tools needed to welcome a puppy in our home and start the process of an obedient dog. Later on we attended the basic obedience and were provided with great training and tools to get our Shepherd to heel nicely and be a joy to takeout in public as he is very attentive to us and obedient now.
I can’t recommend them enough!!!

We enjoyed going through the beginner novice group class with Mark. My wife & I feel like we learned a lot & enjoy the commands our dog has learned. We both are going to take the e collar class next. Can’t be more thankful for everything we have learned in this class that Mark taught us.

Amazing trainers. We had a very stubborn frenchie, now we have a very pleasant frenchie. The level of training, attention, care, and guidance that Mark and Amy provide is phenomenal. K9 command will train all of my dogs, even if we live out of state. I would specifically bring my future dogs here for their services. 5Stars is not enough for K9 command. ?

We've had the pleasure of working with both Mark and Amy in different stages of training for our dog Murphy. Both are extremely professional, knowledgeable, caring, and it's pretty clear they have LOTS of experience. Everything was absolutely top-notch. We are so glad we found K9 Command so close to us here in the mountains!

Mark and Amy's decades of experience is apparent as soon as you begin a training program at K9 Command. When you attend a class, private or group, not only are you getting your dog trained but you are hands on being simultaneously taught the skills and confidence needed to continue improving the lifelong relationship between you and your dog. I have attended 2 classes with 2 different dogs and couldn't be more pleased with the results. No fluff, no tricks, just common sense, straight forward, professional dog (and human) training at it's finest!

I took my blue heeler as a puppy and then later on as an adult to better educate and train myself on how to have a better working relationship with her and to get her to be more attentive to me rather than the environment around her. K9 Command gives you all the tools to "train" you not just your dog! You get what you put in, so if you're not putting in the work and honing those skills you've been taught on your own then you'll never see the full extent of the results. I highly recommend them to anyone looking into training programs!

We could not be happier with the results from Leo’s training at K9 Command. We used the board and train program then attended Tricks class and Nose work. Leo’s life and ours is by far better with the training we received. We also look forward to more classes in the future. Amy and Mark are the most knowledgeable trainers and there to help with any questions or problems you we have. Top Notch all the way around !!!!!

I have taken several classes with Mark & Amy and cannot recommend them enough! I recently got a Belgian Malinois and was looking for trainers who had experience working with the breed and who also could educate me along with the dog. I went with Mark and Amy based on a recommendation from my mom who’s been working with them for the past couple years now with two of her dogs. It’s been nothing but an amazing experience, it’s made me a better dog owner, it’s given me more confidence in handling my dog and grew the bond between me and my dog. It’s incredibly rare to find trainers who genuinely care about you and your dog, and who are willing to work with all different types of breeds and temperaments to help you and your dog achieve your goals. I know that Zara, my dog, has greatly benefited from working with Mark and Amy. And I’ve also seen other dogs who have benefited so much from their expertise. I genuinely trust them with my dog and will continue to go back to them with my current dog, and if I have any new dogs in the future.

I just completed the beginner novice class with our 3 year old German shepherd. We adopted her from a shelter, so I knew very little about her. I quickly figured out she was VERY REACTIVE to other dogs. I was afraid she may not be able to make it through the class due to her behavior, but little by little she showed improvement. After 6 weeks I (and everyone else in the class that witnessed her outbursts) could not believe the transformation in her.
We went from her lunging and barking at every dog in the room to her completing her exam and acting as if no other dogs were present. I had no idea a dog could change that much in 6 weeks. I HIGHLY recommend K9 command, put in the work and you will not be disappointed. I look forward to taking another class.

Mark and Amy Connolly at K9Command are awesome dog trainers. They came highly recommended to me by my neighbor and I was very impressed! They are professional dog trainers with actual dog training degrees and decades of experience. We have done puppy head start and group obedience classes with our Doberman and it has been a great experience all around! I highly recommend K9Command if you really want to train your dog! I never thought I would be able to teach my dog to heel or stay and many other things. Their methods work and I’m so glad that we discovered K9Command! We will be starting our next class in January.
