Let these amazing dog training success stories inspire you

“My puppy was attacked by multiple dogs months ago. He was such a fun loving puppy but after the attack he was very cautious around other dogs. Calling IQ K9... read more was the best decision I made for him. We did private sessions with Bret and my pup took to him right away! After completing the courses I was finally able to bring him to a dog meet and he was so well behaved. He stayed next to me and listened to every command I gave him. He was able to be around other dogs with no problems at all. They not only helped my pup, but they helped me be a better owner. Any issue I come across in the future or if anyone I know has an issue with their pup, I plan on using them! Words can not begin to explain how much hope and help they have given my family!! Since the beginning they have been there to help us through the entire process. Amazing people doing amazing things!!

“We couldn't be more happy with the wonderful experience we had with Lianne and Bret!!!! We adopted a very high energy large puppy and started to think we had taken... read more on way too much dog but we felt that he was family already and we had to get him trained ASAP. We met with a few trainers but we liked them the best. I was very hesitant about utilizing a training collar like they recommended but Lianne assured me there's a right way to use it that can be very beneficial to training maverick faster. They do in home training which was amazing!!! I highly recommend it . They gave us so many training tools to work on that truly helped maverick become such a more controllable dog. He's still hyper but we know the best ways to really motivate and work with his high energy now. And I loved that they truly looked at his personality and customized his training to fit with it. I highly recommend them as trainers and was so impressed with their knowledge and professionalism."
