Our five month old puppy did the three week extended training with Lauren and he learned so much. Thanks to Lauren’s knowledge, experience and her clear, consistent methods, our pup has transformed from rambunctious, wildling into a well behaved listener and responder. Our training session with Lauren was amazing! We watched our boy present what he had learned - which he executed so well - and then we learned how to be consistent with verbal and body language so that our dog could respond. We are practicing his (and our) new skills and as a result, we see his confidence growing daily. Now he is happier and calmer and so are we!! Great job, Lauren! We will see you in the future for review training!!

Incredible! Took our 4 month old puppy to them and got back a new dog. Very impressed with what she learned and what we were taught. We love Lauren! She was fantastic and was eager to answer all our questions. Thank you!!!

WOW!! Okay this is gonna be a lengthy one. Where do I begin thanking Dave and Andrea for their true dedication in providing the best dog board and train facility in Houston. They take great pride in their business and it shows through their hard work. The facility is immaculately clean and the grounds are beautifully manicured.If you want top notch service and see results with your dog, look no further than Circle K9.Our 2 y/o GSD, Xeros, was highly anxious and challenging to train. We had been through 2 training facilities prior to joining Circle K9. If we knew then what we know now. We could’ve saved a whole lot of $$$, going with Circle K9.Dave is highly knowledgeable and experienced in canine behavior. He has all the qualities of a professional trainer. He genuinely cares about the well being and state of mind of the dog, along with the needs of the owner.Our Xeros returned home a totally transformed dog. Much calmer, confident and obedient. It’s incredible to see the progress he made in such a short amount of time.Thank you for giving us the tools to be able to enjoy our dog for many years to come. Xeros will be returning for further training and boarding.Thanks again

Such an amazing place! We've sent two dogs for training so far and they have exceeded our expectations. One of our dogs is a Doberman and the other is a Whoodle(wheaten terrier/standard poodle) they work so well with the temperament and traits of the breed. I really can't say enough good things about Circle K9. We've boarded the Doberman when we go out of town several times now and they continue with her education each time she goes. I'm beyond pleased that we found them. Their teaching methods are amazing!!

I took my 1 1/2 year old Great Dane Zeva in for training summer 2022 , she was big strong and full on anxiety and on anxiety medications, then she had seriously attacked and injured my older dog. After the training program and my follow up she has developed into a tender loving gentle giantI get so many compliments on her behavior when we’re out walking and trainingShe’s off her meds and getting along very well with all the other dogs I have. She’s fully socialized and I can take her on outings , less anxiety no dog aggressionThanks guys you all did a great job and I recommend you highlyPat and Zeva

We got Severus back almost 12 weeks ago after he spent 6 weeks at Circle K9. He is like a new dog. He is a much more confident and therefore calm member of the family. Before I would be frustrated daily with correcting behavior. Now we have a shared language and understanding of how to redirect him, and he knows how to expect what we want. Everything from walks to hanging out at home is just easier. We absolutely intend to use Circle K9 in the future to see how far we can take our pup.

I rescued a deaf boxer that had no guidance and struggled with behavior due to not understanding. By far my most difficult rescue. I will say if you are looking for a dog training facility that cares for your loved one and has professional dog training experience this is the one. The outcome from my training experience was nothing less than exceptional. I now have communication with my loved one, she understands my requests and I understand her struggles. This was the best of both worlds for both of us. Both my girl and I received training and we can now communicate as if there was no disability. She is well behaved and has her life back. The staff at Circle K9 are outstanding, they took great care of my girl, they kept me advised on her training and health status throughout the process. Concerning price, it’s not the cheapest but it’s not the worse. You absolutely get what you pay for and well worth the expense. Some people might say it’s just a dog, but for me this was a family that needed assistance and Circle K9 delivered. Well done Circle K9.

Didn’t think it was possible to get our GSD to behave this good and have total control of him like we do now, they did an excellent job training Enzo. He came back to his home with a purpose and a job to do ever day. THANK YOU!!!! He will be going back for more and expanded training

Seeing the change in my pups blew me away today! The work y’all have done to build their confidence is absolutely amazing. You really have opened my eyes on what we have been doing wrong. I can’t wait to try out what you have taught not only my dogs but us as well and see how far we can go with this! Thank you so much in opening our eyes and helping my pups!

The only place I trust with my dogs! My dogs have been going here for over 10 years now! They have a great facility and world-class training. Their methods and training theory result in an extremely well-trained dog and extremely well-informed person. Plus, if you listen closely, their training theories apply to relationships in general, not just the relationship you have with your dog. They truly love every single dog that comes onto their property as if they were their own! Dave got me into competitive dog training almost 8 years ago. He has been my training mentor and sounding board throughout my journey into the world of Schutzhund. -Walter's Chew Toy

Dave was great with training my son's dog Bubba. The problem came when we went to board the dog after. Bubba went through a month of training. Several times afterwards we were able to board Bubba. Andrea says Bubba is too hard to hard to handle when boarding. This is suppose to be a professional training and after spending over $3300 they can't handle Bubba in their boarding facility when one of the benefits was you were suppose to be able to board. Once again Dave did a great job training but if you can't continue and be able to board your dog then Circle K9 is not holding up their end of the business arrangement.

The training was great. They problem was when we wanted to board our dog they let us do it a couple of times but now have refused to board our dog. The reasoning is that they have trouble handling him during the boarding. They are professional trainers and they can’t handle a dog they trained? It was expensive to train with them. Part of the training was you could bring them back to board. If you are professional trainers you should also be able to handle them later for boarding.

Our experience with Circle K9 was truly life changing. We have two rescue dogs who we adore but they are very energetic and used to feed off of each other to an unhealthy degree. They jumped on guests when people came to our home, barked at people walking by our house and would get into an occasional skirmish with each other when they got too excited. This resulted in constant yelling and stress in our home. We sent both of them to Circle K9 for four weeks each and we are a much calmer and happier family today. Dave, Andrea and Bryce not only did an amazing job training our dogs to have better behavior, they truly got to the root of their issues, compassionately worked with our dogs and then trained us to pick up where they left off. We are now able to proactively manage them to behave calmly and appropriately inside and outside of the house. To say we are a happier and more serene household is an understatement. We continue to board and retrain at Circle K9 to reinforce this positive behavior. I am so grateful for what our entire family has learned from this experience and know that we will have a relationship with Circle K9 for years to come.
