What Our Clients Are Saying…

Let these amazing dog training success stories inspire you

These guys are awesome! Very impressed with the private training sessions we’ve had so far. IQ K9 was a referral from a friend. I was impressed with their reviews and… read more decided to contact them for help with my 3 pups. Lianne responded promptly to my email inquiry which I appreciate. My husband and I met with Bret and knew he was the guy to help us. We have a 1 year old pug who needed basic obedience training, a 4+ year old yorkie mix with behavioral issues and a silky who barks. All three are finally getting the training they need. Life in our home is already calmer and more enjoyable. Bret is knowledgeable, professional, helpful and able to train pup and parent quickly. Highly recommend to anyone needing dog training assistance.

Long overdue review- When I first got my GSD pup, I brought him to IQK9 after Bret made a few house calls for the puppy training. After two weeks of… read more training and boarding, I could tell right away that I made the right decision. My pup was much more obedient, great on leash, and obeyed commands (he was VERY stubborn prior). Fast forward almost 2 years later, I am still taking my dog to IQK9 for boarding whenever I travel out of town. HANDS DOWN, I trust them with my dog! He is always EXCITED to stay there and play. Bret & Lianne and the other staff members are always VERY accommodating and communicative. My drive there is about 1.5 hours ONE-WAY. That should tell you a lot! 🙂
