Paul and Terrah are both so great with my dogs. I have a German Shepard husky mix and a lab/husky mix who can both get too excited, loud, and play a little hard but Paul has been so patient with them both! He corrects them when needed and they always come home listening a little better to me. Terrah is also THE nicest person, always a smile on her face and answers any and all your questions when it's not too crazy busy. Can't thank them enough!

Paul and Tara have helped my enthusiastic puppy have better manners and be more respectful without breaking his spirit. They're always encouraging and there to help with any problems that come up.

Paul corrected Freddy's behavior issues in one session. He correctly diagnosed his fear aggression and improved our dynamic with our malti-poo by helping us understand what was happening and correcting the behavior before it happens. I feel like we have a new dog! Paul, we are so grateful to you. I took Freddy out for his morning walk the day after we met with you and corrected him before we even left the door. He stopped and looked at me at the curb, calmly walked across the street, and only pottied when I told him to. On the walk, he was a perfect gentleman and I even got him to walk slowly or quickly or in a circle following me. It only took maybe two or three corrections and he had it. All of this is thanks to you! We encountered two huge dogs on the way back, and I had him sit and said "leave it" and he absolutely left them alone until they passed and I praised him. I feel like I have a new dog! Thank you!

Staff seemed nice enough and the facility was clean, but it was a tails down decision from Mr Puppy. We'll never know why...

Had a great consultation with Paul. Explained the process of instilling behavior in our new family member Lola, a two year old boxer stray from a shelter. Set an appointment with Paul, my wife, Lola and I. Paul worked with Lola for an hour and a half. He taught us how to reenforce her behavior and I must say we were blown away with the results. Lola is a sweet girl but stubborn and very strong minded. He had her reacting to his training at every level. She went from tugging and pulling away and unwilling to enter the car or kennel to adhering to our control. We have the tools to turn Lola into a well mannered member of the family. I called Paul a magician with his mastery of training. We highly recommend this person and his staff. His patience and instruction methods are superior and are making our life more enjoyable.

We have been taking our 3 dogs to K9 City over the past 6-9 months and have been very very happy with them! First, they are amazing with the dogs including training and boarding. Paul the owner was extremely helpful to help train our 1 year old dogs the right way. They are caring and very nice people. And, they look out after our dogs in proper ways. I highly recommend coming here and bringing your dogs. They will do an excellent job!

I highly advise you not to bring your dog to this guy no matter how bad your dog needs training. I brought my puppy in for crate training and excessive barking. My girlfriend and I did one session with Paul and he nearly killed my dog by chocking him till his tongue turned purple and he pooped himself. I have never seen something so horrific in my life. My dog also bit his tongue so bad that there is a 4 inch scar that will be there for the rest of his life. This was just for crate training remind you and he was not a violent puppy at all. My dog had to go to the vet right away and could not eat solid foods for 2 weeks cause he damaged his neck muscles and throat severely. It makes me so sad daily that I put my dog through such misery with this awful human being.

If you're looking for a serious dog trainer who actually instills training methods that will correct your dog's ability to practice better self control, then this is your place! I'm blown away by my dogs new abilities to practice self control...all on his own. I was nearly ready to give up hope for our fur baby (shepherd mix) who we rescued about a year and a half ago. He developed a very serious aggressive behavioral issue towards other dogs to a point that he had lost complete control over himself. This behavior was getting progressively worse. It got to a point that we feared taking him anywhere in public as he may see another dog. He has also caused injury to whoever was unfortunately handling him at these times. Things were very bad. We found Paul and K9 City thru our veterinarian, and all I can say is I'm totally amazed at what Paul accomplished with our dog. In just 10 days of training we now have a dog who shows tremendous self control, ability to be with other dogs, focus and attention to commands, along with countless other new abilities he demonstrates on his own at home. I did worry in the beginning if I would get the same results with him at home as Paul was getting, however the transfer into our home environment has been nearly seamless. Paul trains in a way unlike other dog trainers. I used a doggie boot camp training facility years ago with another dog, but Paul's way of teaching the dog and getting the dog to actually change their own problem behavior issues is a game changer. Nothing like the previous doggie boot camp we used. I would not hesitate one moment to recommend Paul for any difficult canine behavior issues. I really mean it when I say that each day I'm blown away by what he has accomplished. The 10 day training package was worth every penny we spent, and then some. On a side note, we also have a very small Morkie who is older than our shepherd mix, but has always been a big trouble maker, and a total diva when it comes to being well mannered. She hasn't been thru any dog training, but ever since bringing our shepherd mix home from Paul, she's begun to change a lot of her behavior issues on her own just from watching how I now interact with her sibling. Can't thank Paul and K9 City enough for what they've accomplished. Excellent training, great facility, and very warm and friendly staff!

They abused my less then a year old dog through harmful devices. Do NOT send you're dogs here, they will get physically abused.

Paul helped us learn how to help our dog be a better dog. From reminding me that she is a "dog" to the importance of Bella having a job to do and that I am the "alpha". Bella is a stubborn dog who pulled on the leash and basically ignored me while walking. After the second time of pulling me over I sought help from K-9 City. Paul spent a full day with Bella and then a couple hours teaching us how to work with her. She was transformed! But still a dog, not robotic like so many other training programs. We continue to work with Bella every day to reinforce what we, and she, learned from Paul. We highly recommend K-9 City for training dogs and dog "parents". Thank you Paul!

We adopted Louie (chihuahua mix) November of 2020. He was diagnosed by our veterinarian as having fear aggression issues. She said he would need to be drugged with Gabapentin and Trazadone during visits and while boarding. Not wanting to drug Louie, we met with a dog behaviorist and had many training sessions with a trainer recommended by our vet. Our mission was to get him over his fear of people and aggression (barking and growling) and wanting him to be "drug-free" while boarding. After over a year of "training" by others we still had the same problems. Boarding places wanted Louie drugged and so did our vet. We needed a solution and fast. I found K-9 City online and we stopped by and spoke with Terrah who was friendly and knowledgeable. She suggested we meet with Paul "The Trainer". We took Louie to meet him and followed up with a day of training with Paul. After one day, Louie was AMAZING! He was able to meet other staff members without growling and was even introduced to another dog without growling and barking. His behavior while on-leash improved tremendously. Thanks to Paul, we are able to board Louie WITHOUT ANY DRUGS and he is in daycare with other dogs! We cannot thank Paul, Terrah, and the team at K-9 City enough for making the Impossible, Possible! Thank you! :)

Paul is amazing! I took my pit mix to Paul for behavioral training. After 1 training session I am able to walk him on the leash without pulling, get him to drop the ball, and overall act less aggressive around other dogs. He taught me things that help me handle him better and show my dog that I'm the alpha. I would definitely recommend!

Paul is incredible and very generous with his time in helping you navigate concerns and leave with resolutions with your pup. We had a wonderful experience leaving our golden for obedience training while traveling on vacation.
