We sent our Dutch Shepherd, Gigi, away for a 6 week board and train program. We would not be happier! Rebeka did a fantastic job. Her dedication and knowledge is unmatched. I would highly recommend anyone send their dog to K9 Services Unlimited. We can’t thank you enough!Abram F.
To say we are pleased with our experience with K9 Services Unlimited is a huge understatement. We are so happy with our decision to use them for training for our 6 month old Brittany, Bo. Rebeka was absolutely fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with her. We went with the 6 week off leash board and train. She was so communicative, sending weekly updates as well as quick response to any texts we had along the way. Bo came back home to us with fantastic discipline. We have already been able to see his training at work on hikes and visit to local restaurants. I would highly recommend Rebeka and the K9 staff to anyone looking for training for their dog.Patrick N.
Justin is definitely the best dog trainer out there. He took my Lab for 6 weeks and the transformation of him left me speechless. I have already sent Justin clients and will continue to do so.Griffin D.
