Help your pet live happier, healthier

When I first came across the Web site for K9 Korral Obedience Training Center, I knew it was the right choice for our dog. My husband and I had looked into obedience schools around our home and weren’t completely satisfied with the types of classes and programs available. We both thought there should be some types of programs available through the center we chose that offer an atmosphere that addresses the dog’s total needs.

I was so impressed to find that K9 offers therapeutic massage, the healing art of
Reiki, acupressure and types of aromatherapy. My husband and I have been long time supporters of alternative health philosophies. We personally take natural herbal supplements and vitamins each day, and practice yoga and tai chi every morning and night. We feel strongly that these practices are important to optimizing health in us, as well as in our pets.

My husband and I have noticed a difference in our dog’s general behavior. He listens better, he follows commands, he seems happier. Instead of being hyper or anxious, he now has a sense of focused energy. He has always been the friendliest dog. Since starting classes and engaging in therapeutic treatments, his demeanor is calmer and gentler. He just seems much more fulfilled and confident.

K9 Korral Obedience Training Center is everything it advertises to be and so much more. My husband and I are continually impressed by the professionalism and expertise of each and every staff member. Our dog looks forward to going to the center, which is confirmation for us that we have chosen the right place. He gets focused attention and specialized training to help him address his stressors and anxiety issues. Just like every animal that undergoes training and techniques at the center, he is given personal attention and the staff is committed to his success.

In conclusion, we couldn’t be happier. We are so glad that we took the time to check out different centers and found K9 Korral Obedience Training Center. It has made such a difference in all of our lives at home. Prior to his time at the center, our dog would frequently chew up our shoes and furniture, get into the trash and dig in the backyard. He no longer does any of these things. We learned so much about anxiety disorder in our dog, as well as separation anxiety, specifically. He had so much nervous energy and now he displays an entirely different outlook. He is a different dog and we are so thankful.

K9 Korral made all the difference

My rat terrier Oliver was out of control. He would get wild and crazy and it seemed I couldn’t do anything to help him calm down. I investigated the various obedience schools in the area and couldn’t find one that I felt would really appropriately address Oliver’s issues. I happened to come across the K9 Korral Obedience Training Center and was so impressed with the variety of services and classes available on the site. Each item featured on the Web site had so much interesting and relevant detail about how the programs helped your pet. I decided to drive a little further out of my way to make sure Oliver was getting the special attention and care that I know he deserves. I am so glad that I did.

After his first private lesson, I noticed an improvement in his demeanor. He had been extremely hyper and high strung, but after his lesson, he was able to relax a bit more. Following his Pet K9 Obedience classes and more private lessons, I noticed continually progress in the modification of his behavior. He finally was able to turn himself off and lie down and spend quality time just existing, as opposed to constantly being on edge.

I still bring Oliver to the center. He enjoys his weekly Reiki treatment, which is a therapeutic massage, as well as his ongoing private lessons. It really has made all the difference in the world. He’s a much less anxious dog now. He enjoys attention, but doesn’t go out of his way to seek it out. You can tell that he feels more confident and less fearful of being abandoned.

I can’t tell you how impressed I am with the quality of the care that Oliver received, and continues receiving, through the K9 Korral Obedience Training Center. I really don’t think he would have gotten the same level of personal attention and care at any other center in the area. I am not the only one who has noticed the major differences in Oliver’s personality and behavior. My husband and two sons, too, said they are so pleased with the results. If I had any regrets, there would only be one. It would be that we didn’t investigate the options out there for obedience training, or more specifically, the services available through K9 Korral Obedience Training Center, sooner. If we had, Oliver could have gotten the help he needed more quickly, which could have saved him a great deal of anxiety and restlessness.
