Customer Success Stories from Tuckahoe

Rated 5 out of 5

“My 1.5 year old Bernedoodle (Quincy) recently completed a one week board and train with Austin. We had previously completed the 8 private sessions last year so he had a good knowledge base. His greatest weakness is his reactivity around people and other dogs. After just one week, Austin dialed in those bad behaviors and he is walking like a champ. My other dog, Abby, an almost one year old Australian cattle dog, attended a 2 week board and train with Austin last December. She does great on her own, but needed help figuring out how to walk with Quincy. I boarded her with Austin while Quincy was there and he has worked magic with these dogs. He truly cares about your pet. He doesn’t just turn you loose when the lessons are done. He follows through and checks in to make sure you know how to continue the training and answer any questions. I would highly recommend Austin from OLK9 if you are struggling with training your dog. I promise it will be worth it!”

“I recently used K9 for the 2 week board and training program with Jordan. It was such a smooth and easy experience! Jordan walked me through what to expect and took the time to understand my pain points with my pup. My puppy is so much better now! He’s listening to me more and knows more commands. Jordan walked me through how best to continue the training, so I’ve been able to keep up with that for a few minutes a day at home as well. I never would have been able to do it without Jordan!!”
