what our clients are saying

Real Stories, Real Results

At K-9 Nation, our mission is to make a positive impact on the lives of dogs and their owners. We take pride in the trust our clients place in us, and we’re honored to share their experiences.

Robert is honestly the best trainer I’ve ever met! It’s been a couple weeks since I got my puppy back from his three-week board and train and let me tell you: Zeus is amazing!! He still follows all commands given and doesn’t have any problems when I’m using the commands. Robert also does a great job teaching dog owners the commands (and he brings you to the store with your dog = store trained dogs!! Best thing so now Zeus, who’s an XL American Bully, is great in stores!). I’ve also attached a picture of Zeus to show him being a good boy!

Connor King-Goehring

Our young dog, Kozmo, was attacked by our neighbors dogs causing him to have great deal of anxiety and dog reactivity. After 3 weeks with Rob and his team, Kozmo conquered his fears of other pups and now plays well with others. Not only did he work on socializing with other dogs, but obedience and agility too! Rob and his trainers sent daily pics and videos, as well as took great care to tend to his injuries. We were very pleased with Kozmo’s progress and will definitely return to K9 nation for future boarding and training needs.

Rae Kennedy

K-9 Nation really does the best for your pup, Rob and his team took great care of my puppy Dexter during his 2 week board and train. You can tell they all love their jobs and love your dog as their own while they are in the program. Rob sent daily update pictures and videos, the training was the best thing I could have done for Dexter. He is more comfortable than ever going into stores and being around other dogs, big or small. I highly recommend K-9 nation!! Dexter can’t wait to come back in July for daycare 🙂

Taylor Hunter

My dog, Cerberus spent 6 weeks with Rob and his team and I can hardly put into words the change I’ve seen in him. I was weary of leaving him with strangers but I got constant updates of him and plenty of videos to show his progress. I am so beyond grateful for Rob, he gave me my dog back and has given us the opportunity to live a full life together. I couldn’t even walk him past another person/ dog but now we can go to the farmers market together and have a great time.
