Beanie and Bobby
Beanie and Bobby
Toy Fox Terriers
10 months old

My overall experience was excellent with Anissa! I liked the fact that their training was based in obedience and respect, not treat-driven. Our dog result was great. The training made sense that when our dogs are trained, they listen to us better and do what we want. I was totally overwhelmed with our two terriers, and not really enjoying our time together. I believe the training totally helped not only me personally feel better, but also helped our family become better at handling Bobby and Beanie. Anissa was great! She was thorough, very professional and we felt very comfortable with her training us. She was open and honest and not afraid to give us some great suggestions when we ran into some roadblocks. Anissa and Kory's facility was clean and very professional - I would recommend Obedient K-9 to anyone looking for dog training specialists! - Bob and Lois S. (owners)

I loved my experience at Obedient KI-9. Not only did my dogs get trained but throughout the experience, my dogs and I became closer and I really understood Anissa's directions. Anissa was awesome. I love how nice she was. Anissa was a great teacher. I think she made it fun! - Rachel S. (daughter)


Samson
Samson
Italian Mastiff
3 1/2 months old

Samson wasn't the only one who learned how to be a owner / pet in Obedient K-9's Puppy Pre-School. The information from the classes was fantastic! Things were explained and information was easy to understand. I loved how each dog was passed around to other people for socialization! This lead to positive interaction for myself and Samson. - Michael C.

I learned so many great tips from the classes. It was nice to witness Anissa being firm and kind at the same time. As a new dog owner, I think all the topics covered in the weekly classes were beneficial. I loved that the puppies could play together. I appreciated learning the play-bite hold. I saw improvement in myself and Samson throughout the few weeks we attended Obedient K-9's Puppy Pre-School. - Karen C.


Roxy and Ashleigh
Roxy and Ashleigh
Chocolate Lab and Springer Spaniel
3 1/2 months old

We were very happy with Obedient K-9's Puppy Pre-School. They covered things I wouldn't have thought of. The information we were given was great. It made a big difference at home. The topics covered and exercises were perfect and the Question and Answer sessions are great! - Melissa A.

Everything was great... Ashleigh has changed a lot in just three weeks! It has been such a long time since we have had puppies and all the information has been helpful! Thanks for all of your help with both Ashleigh and Roxy! - Jim A.


Ginger
Ginger
Shi-Poo
4 months old

The Obedient K-9 Puppy Pre-School classes were a great learning experience... they helped increase our dog / owner confidence. The information I got during the initial puppy consultation was great. The tips and topics were overall helpful and very personalized to each owner and explained in basic and informative terms. It was all a great experience for me and Ginger! - Karen K.


Jake
Jake
Great Dane
4 months old

My overall experience with Obedient K-9's Puppy Pre-School was very good. I really feel I learned a lot about the initial socialization of the dog. The information I received during my initial puppy consultation was also very good, although we didn't really have any big issues except with trash bags and the noise they make. The topics and exercises covered during the weekly group classes during puppy pre-school were excellent. I feel I learned about Jake's initial fears and grew his confidence a little. Now the rest is up to me. I think Jake got a lot out of the "pass the puppy" socialization exercises that we do during class. - Shawn D.


Mary Jane
Mary Jane
Airedale Terrier
3 years old

We were very satisfied with the Obedient K-9 experience. Mary Jane completed the 10-day boarding program - we were amazed by her progress at the end of the boarding. We noticed changes right away. After we began our lessons, we could begin to see Mary Jane's potential. Mary Jane loved training with us. The lessons each week were clear and easy to follow. Also, we never felt alone... if we had questions, they were answered. We appreciate the training, advice, and encouragement we received. - Claudia D.

Our experience with Obedient K-9 was excellent. They are professional and our dog received all the training we expected and more. It was above expectations. Anissa has been the absolute best. She is professional and can answer any questions you could possibly come up with. I think what makes Anissa so great is that she loves what she does and cares about helping people. I've come out of the training with knowledge AND understanding of my dog. It might be worth mentioning as part of your marketing that dog training is a great couple's activity. Claudia and I had a great time learning everything together. Anissa, I can't thank you enough. Mary Jane may not be perfect, but she learned everything you told us she would, and you've given us enough knowledge to handle all types of situations. She and I are much more confident now. - Nick D.


Mack
Mack
Chocolate Lab
2 years old

I was hooked on Obedient K-9 from the first time I met Anissa at the evaluation. She was patient and open from the start. Mack is a new dog! We are much more relaxed as a family. The tips were always given with my family in mind. I liked how information was not just given but also explained... "A method to the madness." Mack turned out to be a "special case." Anissa never complained and took extra time to bring him to his current level. - Amy B.


Angus
Angus
Pomeranian Mix
1 year old

My vet recommended Obedient K-9. Angus is a rescue dog from the humane society. He was quite a challenge when we first brought him home. The experience was very good. Anissa was very knowledgeable and had excellent tips. I only wish my family had gotten more involved with the training. I think it would have been better for Angus. - Courtney P.


Patches
Patches
Great Dane
3 1/2 years old

We knew that we had to separate Patches and Sheba if we wanted to get results. Patches and Sheba were puppy mill dogs. They had no idea of how to function outside of a cage, with humans and other animals. Patches was the worst of the two. Anissa was great. Patches now has the confidence she needed and we were able to work with Sheba. They now have smiles on their faces and spring in their steps. Job well done!! It is a great thing to be a part of changing the lives of these two dogs. They lived through Hell the first years of their lives. We cannot thank Anissa enough for helping us. - Richard B.


Cody
Cody
Lab Mix
5 years old

I find that, overall, Cody is doing better after going through the program although I feel we still have a lot to work on. I felt the home visit was helpful in learning how to deal with Cody being territorial. Anissa does great at reminding me of the steps to correct Cody. I think we have a great base to work with and the barking / hyper and territorial issues will just take repitition and time but now I know better how to deal with it. - Jennifer M.


Bailey
Bailey
Brittany Spaniel
1 year old

Our decision to engage with Obedient K-9 was based on a referral from our friend / co-worker and the information we read on your website. Anissa is excellent - very patient with both of us since we seemed to need more corrections than Bailey! Anissa was very thorough and has good information on the "why" behind the method. Your training space is great - no distractions! You've really communicated very clearly what we need to do to make Bailey successful... Thanks! - Jim & Lee M.


Juliet
Juliet
Toy Poodle
18 weeks old

Our overall experience with Obedient K-9 was excellent. They were recommended to us by two of our daughters and we had great results! Anissa is very knowledgeable, patient, and was passionate about the well-being of Juliet. - Bryce and Paula L.


Pete
Pete
Rhodesian Ridgeback / Boxer Mix
1 year old

Obedient K-9's facility and website are very professional. Pete's results were a complete success and we have plenty of training to continue moving forward. Anissa is extremely knowledgeable and completely honest about what we were doing right and wrong. She was loving and caring to Pete... a very good trainer. We feel like we have a new dog! - Janice W.


Logan
Logan
German Shepherd
9 months old

I thought everthing went great... all the steps in obedience plus his individual issues; we worked on all these. Anissa was wonderful as well. She was very helpful and patient when I wasn't remembering all the steps to the commands! I had a great experience, although I am surprised he ended up graduating when he did when he didn't do so good his last day and we still had several commands to learn, as well as a lot of work to do with our outdoor walks and interaction with other dogs. I am looking forward to start working on my other dog now! - Jen M.

Obedient K-9 has contacted the customer and reminded her of her previous sessions with us and her exemplary progress. We take into account the owner's attitude and commitment to their dog's ongoing training and determined that she had the right combination to continue with her dog's ongoing success and were able to see that the last training was an exception to their past sessions. As always, Obedient K-9 will be available to her and all past clients via phone or email for any additional questions she may have.


Pierre
Pierre
Toy Poodle
5 months old

When we inquired with Anissa about training our dog, we were desperate for help! Our little 14-week old puppy had developed some bad behaviors in the crate after getting sick in there. We had lost two nights of sleep and needed some direction. We know Anissa through a family member but live out-of-state. Anissa was kind enough to give us some initial direction for dealing with our situation before we could get into town for her to work with Pierre. Her suggestions helped us manage until then. The results of Pierre staying with her for three days of training were remarkable! We came home with a dog who would calmly sleep in his crate through the night and who rested in his crate while were were away from home. Neither of these things were happening before the training. Also, Pierre learned to heel so we can all enjoy his walks and to automatically sit when we stop.

Anissa is completely professional and has a wonderful understanding of how to handle dogs and their unique behaviors. We only wish we lived closer so that Pierre could have attended her Puppy Preschool! Leading up to the residence training, Anissa made herself available to help us with Pierre from afar. As soon as we arrived at her home, we felt completely comfortable with Pierre staying with her and being cared for by her. Then at the end of the training time, Anissa spent as long as we needed to understand what Pierre had learned and how to reinforce his training moving forward. We were so relieved to have her involved in our relationship with our dog. We are a much happier family for it! - Jennifer B.

My wife and I were referred to Obedient K-9 by my sister-in-law. Our primary reason for seeking the dog training was for the purpose of getting Pierre (our dog) to rest in his crate. After a few days with Obedient K-9, Pierre was much happier in his crate and even began sleeping in there. Overall, we were very satisfied with our experience. Our experience with Anissa was great. She was full of great tips and helpful advice concerning our dog. In all of our interactions, we felt like she enjoyed our dog and was extremely helpful in teaching him obedience training. - Steve B.


Cato
Cato
German Shepherd
7 months old

We were referred to Obedient K-9 by friends. They took a great deal of time to train Cato and train us. They were great and we now have a better dog for it. We loved the fact that Anissa was so hands-on and we felt that this being done in her home was much better suited for Cato's needs. We had a wonderful experience. Anissa was knowledgeable and most of all very patient with both my son and I when it came to training us! Anissa never raisess her voice, but commands and gets the respect of Cato. We felt this was geared personally to our needs! - Cody & Susanne L.


Gideon
Gideon
Miniature Pinscher
18 months old

I chose Obedient K-9 for the close and personal attention as opposed to group lessons. There seemed to be instant results and change in Gideon's attitude. Anissa was professional and very impressive... good tips and the training seemed to be more for my benefit. Gideon might have been A-1 if I had spent more time. He is a quick learner... I think Anissa spent more time training me than him. I will be back for more training when I have more time! - Ricky L.


Brutus
Brutus
Rottweiler
20 months old

I saw a great overall improvement with Brutus right away! Anissa is very knowledgeable and answered all questions and concerns with no hesitation to provide answers or correction as needed. She's very professional and well organized. There was a great improvement in Brutus' behavior. Anissa seems to appreciate and understand the questions and concerns that I was having with Brutus. I would recommend her to family, friends and vets. Thank you! - Jerry T.

Hey Anissa, Brutus here. Thanks for teaching my owner how to deal with my attitude. With the training you have given us, my attitude has changed as well as the commands you have taught us (I hate that two second rule!). I realize I still have a ways to go, but if I know my owner, he will get me whipped into shape in no time with what you were able to teach us. I look forward to seeing you in the future for more advanced training. Well, I have to go now as my owner is calling me and I only have two seconds to respond! Thanks! - Brutus


Winston
Winston
Rottweiler
18 months old

We chose Obedient K-9 after doing some local research because of convenience, reputation, and affordability. Winston has come a long way since we began working with him. We now have a better understanding of his behavior and will continue to practice what we have learned from Anissa. Anissa was great. She was very professional and communicated well with us. She was able to answer all our questions and provide us with solutions to the behaviors we needed to correct regarding Winston. It is great that Obedient K-9 comes to your home. - Jason H.

I didn't know what to expect at first, but overall I feel our participation in Obedient K-9's training was a success. Winston has showed significant improvement since the beginning and I learned things that I can continue to use throughout his life. Anissa was an excellent trainer. She went above and beyond to help Winston. I feel like she truly cared about him and his success in the program. She tackled all of our initial goals and was able to answer all of the questions we had. Thank you for being so flexible with the appointments and working around our busy schedules. - Kim H.


Misty
Misty
Sharpei
1 year old

My overall experience was great! I chose Obedient K-9 for the Residency Training. Misty needed time away from home where she could build her confidence. The environment was safe, clean, and Misty was well taken care of during her stay. Mist now has better manners. Anissa was very professional in all aspects. I had many issues to discuss and was given great tips on how to handle all of them. I felt good about leaving my dog with such caring people. not only did Misty learn great things during her stay, she was treated like part of the trainer's family. My training on how to handle Misty and how to continue our training at home was excellent. Misty came home knowing all of her commands... it was wonderful! - Amanda M.


Bayley
Bayley
Beagle
8 months old

I chose Obedient K-9 because a friend told me of your wonderfulness. :-) I'm very happy with Bayley's progress and success. You did a great job of letting me be the one to train her. I liked how my part was very hands-on during the training instead of just watching you. You have great tips and definately know what you're talking about. I just want you to know I'm pleased. Maybe in the future, I'll want to go on to the off-leash training. I also am serious about the fact that I would love to do Puppy Playdates... Bayley loves Savio, and I'd love to see you again sometime. - Abby J.


Chauncey
Chauncey
Beagle
6 months old

I was looking for someone where we could get one-on-one traininng with someone with a lot of experience. I also felt that all of our personalities connected very well, which helped tremendously with this experience for us. Anissa is excellent - professional, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I really enjoyed our training time and our dig is already looking better than he was. Thanks so much! - Michelle R.

We had a wonderful time at Obedient K-9. With what we learned together, I feel like I've bonded with my dog and we have respect fo each other. :-) Anissa is very professional and informative. Great Job! Thank you so much! - David R.


Enzo
Enzo
Jack Russell Terrier
5 years old

The overall learning experience was great. Any questions I had, there was always an answer. Training steps were easy to learn and follow. Anissa was always on time and very easy to understand. She's very fun to work with, which made the training enjoyable! Anissa always had a great attitude. What a great person to work with! Thank you so much for your time and knowledge. I never thought Enzo would be able to learn some of the stuff he knows now. Thank you so much!! - Aleah O.


Herbie
Herbie
Lab Mix
3 years old

The commands were easy to learn. We also learned many good tips for our dog's aggression issues. Anissa was very nice, easy to work with, on time, and professional. She was very knowledgable about dogs too! Our only comment is that we really needed this training for aggression issues. I did not feel like we practiced enough with "real situations". - Stephanie G. and Casey L.

Obedient K-9 has contacted the customer and has made several suggestions to address their concern. We have reminded this customer that Obedient K-9 will answer any questions via phone, email, or in-person with additional follow-up trainings. Obedient K-9 has also made arragements to create the desired "real situations" as soon as it is possible to do so.


Tank
Tank
Golden Retriever
18 months old

We are so happy we won your raffle for a free training! Our experience was great! He seems so happy and we will enjoy our walks. I loved being able to watch Tank "work" and see what he had learned when we came to pick him up after his training. You guys seemed very knowledgeable and most importantly loving toward Tank. Once we've saved enough for our wedding we'll be back for more training for Tank! - April I.


Tanner
Tanner
Beagle
2 years old

I chose Obedient K-9 because of the one-on-one training, the method used, and the ability to call or email any questions I had. My dog is much happier now that he knows what is expected of him and that I'm in control. I am also thrilled to have regained control of my dog.

My experience was beyond helpful. I got lots of friendly, knowledgable instruction on how to train my dog. When instructed something was the wrong thing to do, I was also given instruction on the correct response.

Thank you for giving me back my confidence and the control of my dog. Before I was scared (almost literally) of Tanner and without a clue how to handle him. He and I were both unhappy. Now he knows what is expected out of him and wants to please me and when he is stubborn I'm no longer scared... I know exactly how to respond. Thank you so much! - Ally F.


Buckeye
Buckeye
Golden Doodle
4 months old

We had a great overall experience with Obedient K-9. We really appreciate the individual attention and chose the drop-off training. Your pricing is competitive, and Anissa is professional, knowledgeable, has some great tips and patience, and is a good role model and is very understanding. Keep doing what you do! - Mike M. (father)

After researching several obedience training options, we chose Obedient K-9 because we thought we would yield the greatest results in the least amount of time. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that a personal trainer could fit into our budget. Obedient K-9 not only met all of our expectations, but totally exceeded them! All of us -- Buckeye included -- loved, Loved, LOVED Anissa. Her methods, approach and teaching are solid and yield great results. I wouldn't change a thing! You offer an awesome service. You nailed it! - Ursula M. (mother)

You did a very good job and I like your training method. Buckeye and I have learned a lot and I know he will do well. Anissa was a very good teacher and she explained things very well. She was helpful and was always there when we needed her. She knew all the answers to our questions and had good tips. - Alaina M. (daughter)

Obedient K-9 is Great! I think Mom and Dad chose wisely. Buckeye is doing great! Anissa was awesome and very connected with Buckeye. It wasn't all serious and it wasn't all fun... it was a happy middle. - Caymen M. (son)


Duke
Duke
Pug
5 years old

I've never been happier to get a mailer ad. Duke responded well to his training (even if he is stubborn). I've learned a lot and now know the things I should or shouldn't do. Anissa was very knowledgeable and professional. She was great with Duke and with us. She was very personable and that made a huge difference. I like the candor and patience that Anissa used when dealing with us. If we weren't doing something right, she let us know about it but didn't make us feel bad about making the mistake - no yelling! I'll be interested in continuing his training once we're both practiced with the skills we've learned so far! - Cindy M.


Mitzie
Mitzie
Basset Hound
1 year old

Thank for the tips. The way you explain things to us really helped us to help our dog. Anissa was always on time, is very easy to understand, and was very patient in her explanations. All in all, the trainer was excellent and helps us in all ways. - Ellis and Hildred F.


Trooper
Trooper
Jack Russel Terrier
4 years old

When family and friends saw Trooper after the majority of his training, they were amazed. He went from a super hyper dog to a more calm and obedient dog. Anissa was great! Anissa was good at pointing out our mistakes as trainers which was very helpful so we didn't continue to make the same mistakes. She always had good tips and knowledgable answers to our questions. At the beginning of our training, we thought that Trooper had no hope of being obedient. Then seeing Anissa handle Trooper, we knew the very first day he could learn. Thanks Anissa!!! - Ricky J.

We could tell by the free evaluation that Anissa would be great. She has given us a strong foundation of obedience that we will work on to continue to improve Trooper's behavior. Anissa was extremely knowledgable and professional. - Tiffany J.


Dakota
Dakota
Golden Retriever
2 years old

Your directions are excellent! Anissa was very patient training us to train Dakota. Dakota no longer pulls like a sled dog... we can actually walk him now! Thank you for your excellent training... it really works! - Jan and Jeff F.


Einstein
Einstein
Old English Sheepdog
4 years old

Obedient K-9 is fantastic! We were given very clear instructions and demonstrations. Anissa was excellent - very thorough, answered all our questions, and anticipated a lot of our questions. Thank you for allowing us to actually enjoy walking with Einstein and being comfortable having him around other people and dogs. - Judy P. and Anna N.


LuLu
LuLu
Basenji
6 months old

I adopted LuLu from a rescue and during her first week at home she terrorized me and my two other Basenji's with her constant jumping, chewing, and lack of potty-training. Obedient K-9 took her in for a week-long residency program and I've learned tons during my initial evaluation and two follow-up sessions! I only wish I'd done it with my other dogs. All of your tips are working - Thanks! Anissa was always on time and a great instructor. Keep up the good work - I will recommend you to anyone that needs training or dog sitting. - Karena W.


Jake
Jake
Chihuahua
18 months old

I contacted Obedient K-9 as a last resort because Jake was a biter and, sadly, my only other option was to have him put down. Anissa gave me several tips after our evaluation for changing my habits to help begin dealing with Jake's issues. Then I had Obedient K-9 take him for a week for their one-on-one basic obedience residency program and he came back to me as a totally different dog. I've had family, friends, and neighbors all comment on his incredible change in personality. Anissa was always on time, able to work with my schedule, and helped me where I had trouble with commands... even if I had to have it repeated to me several times! She showed her love for Jake as if he was her own... I LOVED that!! Anissa has tremendous personal drive and a true love for her business. - Kay L.


Marley
Marley
German Wire-Haired Pointer
1 year old

My experience was wonderful. I have easy steps to follow for Marley's training. Walking her is so much more delightful for me now. Anissa was an excellent trainer. On-time to our training sessions; gave easy-to-understand instructions; and genuinely seemed to like Marley. Obedient K-9 did a great job! I will definately recommend you to anyone who needs their dog to be trained! Thank you so much! - Jason D.


Lucky
Lucky
German Shepherd
4 years old

We had a really great experience with Obedient K-9. The trainer gave good directions and clear steps to follow during our training sessions. She was very observant, perceptive and involved. We were very impressed with Anissa's skill and ability with dogs. We're looking to continue working with Anissa and Obedient K-9 for additional training for Lucky! Thanks so much for your help, Lucky is off to a good start. I am practicing with him outside to make our play and walk sessions more enjoyable for all of us. - Roy and Margie W.


Lilly
Lilly
Golden Retriever
5 years old

I am so pleased with Lilly's progress. Thanks so much for working with us and getting her manners together. Taking an evening walk is so much more relaxing than it was when she was charging after every other dog on a leash! I appreciate your help! - Debbie M.


Amy Kay
Amy Kay
Labrador Retriever
6 months old

I received very good instructions - they were easy to follow! My trainer was on time every time and was very understandable. I appreciate the fact that Obedient K-9 took our dog and kept her until she was trained. I definately recommend Obedient K-9 to anyone looking for a professional dog trainer! - Kathryn A.


Raeden
Raeden
Doberman Pinscher
4 months old

I went through Obedient K-9's puppy pre-school and was very happy with what I learned in the classes, so I had the trainer evaluate my puppy for obedience training and in just a few minutes she had him staying in place and ignoring all the other people who were around him at a meeting that I was attending. I signed up for the 10-day Residency Program and in the first week she already had him in better control, he is more focused, and he understands all of his basic commands. I can't wait to see how well he behaves when she is done with my little guy! When he's ready, I will definitely be coming back to Obedient K-9 for his off-leash training! - Mike S.
