"It is the best money you will ever spend in training your dog. The results are remarkable."
-A.Y., client

"I just wanted to let you know that my wife and I were most pleased with the session we had. Our trainer more then met our expectations, and we will highly recommend your service to anyone. Our trainer helped assure us that Elie Mae has the potential to be the loving girl we know she is capable of! Thank you for the very professional manner in which you handled the entire scheduling process."
- T.B., client


Donnie is an awesome trainer. I was extremely pleased with our experience. He fully answered all our questions, was very professional, and asked many questions that led us to deal with issues we didn't even know we had!!!

Thank you for setting up our visit. We think we now have the tools we need to be able to remain a "pack" (Jasper can remain a part of our family.) Hopefully what we learned today solves all our problems going forward, but if not you can be sure we will call for a second visit from Donnie.

Thanks again for your services, and let me know if I can ever provide a reference!

"Thanks so much for sending Donnie to spend Sunday morning with me & Violet! Since Violet is mostly deaf and not very food motivated, some of the more common training methodologies don't work with her. Donnie showed me how to use my body language and hand signals to communicate with her. We are doing great! She is walking on a leash like a champ, not walking in front of me or winding around me. She is sitting on command in a variety of situations and we are starting to work on staying. All in an hour or so of Donnie's time and just some consistency with me! The issues with her going outside in the backyard alone and going potty when I need her to out there are works in progress. Donnie diagnosed her problem and gave me some strategies for working with it. I am confident we'll get there, but it will a bit slower than the other things. All in all it was hugely successful and I am very, very pleased! One of my original goals with Violet was to train her to be a therapy dog, she has such a perfect temperment for it. But, when we seemed to fail at basic obedience I gave up on that. Now I know that we can accomplish it if we want to!!"
Thanks again!!"

Hi Sylvie,

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this class last week (our first one). The things I learned have already been so beneficial, and it's so rewarding to see my dog behaving more confidently and less aggressively.

Today I took him to the groomer for the first time since I got him, and the way I handled it was very different than how I would have a week ago. Because of that, Baxter handled it very differently than how he would have a week ago as well. He was very well-behaved, and when he acted scared, I made sure to show him that there wasn't anything to be scared of but without coddling him. It was great!

Thank you for these great classes!!

Heather Baker, client

"Many thanks to K9 Solutions for offering wonderful classes and solutions for our dogs! We appreciate the approach you take in your training, the options you offer within the classes for owner preferences, and the ways you strongly encourage behavior correction before more drastic solutions (medication or (worse) giving up the pet). Adoption is, afterall, a "forever solution"! Your techniques have forever changed the way we interact with our dogs -- making us stronger as the pack leaders and helping our dogs relax and trust that we're in charge! This is precisely why we would come back to K9 Solutions again and again and again. You really do outstanding work and have proven to us that you love for our dogs (almost) as much as we do!"
Carrie & Neil Johnson, clients

 
Sylvia, please pass my thanks to Donnie. I've been practicing what he showed me yesterday and it's amazing the difference! We haven't gotten to one of her trigger situations for attacking yet but by taking control on something as simple as her walks and by continuing to use the techniques now, I feel more comfortable that I'll be able to control her. I'll start introducing her to trigger situations after the techniques become 2nd nature for me. I'm actually looking forward to it!
It's amazing to me that things so simple make such a big difference. Our walk last night was so much more enjoyable!
That was definitely money well spent.
Thanks

Your advise and wisdom have saved our household. Shiloh has a long way to go but I can now see that he can and will be a productive member of a family. I almost forgot, since the second day of being crated, Shiloh now wags his tail when me and the dogs approach him to take him out of the crate for a walk. I could have cried! Thank you doesn't start to say enough. I am getting ready to go out of town next week and I am a little nervous that Shiloh might revert a little but I now have the skills to get him back on track.

You are a wonderful instructor and Maddie and I learned a great deal. I thank you so much for the class. You have a perfect demeanor and a sweet dog-loving manner...as well as a sense of humor! It was a truly a terrific way to begin. I hope Maddie and I can continue to Pet Therapy. We walked in the SPCA walk last Saturday. She did great and I had a lot of fun, too! Quite an experience!
THANK YOU, SYLVIE!
M.S. and Maddie, clients 

For all the dog owners in the Triangle area- If you have a new puppy, want to be a better leader to your dog or have particular issues you want to address, RUN don't walk to sign up for K9 Solutions Leadership seminar. Sylvie's wealth of information about dogs and her contacts throughout the Triangle are the perfect combination to help you develop a lifelong, loving and happy relationship with your canine family member. And, Sylvie does it with such great humor, that the 3 hours fly by. I can't recommend this seminar or the K9 Solutions classes strongly enough. Thank you Sylvie, Donnie and all the other wonderful trainers at K9 Solutions!
