My dog completed the 4 week course and the behavioral improvement is astounding! My very stubborn bulldog puppy is doing so much better listening to commands. Very excited to continue reinforcement at home to have a happy, healthy, well behaved pup.Jon and his team are experts at what they do! They maintained open lines of communication through out the process, and made sure my pup was well taken care of.Highly recommend!

It was a huge decision for us as a family to send our 1 year old dog, Ollie, to Indy K-9 for a month. We had a multitude of things that we wanted to see change with our dog such as reactivity to other dogs while on a leash, barking in the house and jumping on people.We know we need to reinforce what he has learned at home, however, we have seen a HUGE improvement in Olli'e behavior since he has been home. He gets many compliments on how good he is and walking him has become enjoyable instead of stressful. Jon continues to check in with us even after he went home and we know we can reach out with any questions, issues or concerns regarding his behavior. Would highly recommend Indy K-9. Worth the investment and we plan to start boarding Ollie there when needed to continue to reinforce his training.

We took our new rescue dog to Indy K-9 for a 4 week training program. We were grateful and impressed with the tools Jon and his team were able to provide us with as well as the improvements in our dogs behavior. We would highly recommend them for anyone looking to encourage positive behaviors in their dog!

My husband and I are "seniors" not in mind yet physically we found ourselves with an active dachshund puppy. We had lost two of our beloved pets this year and missed the company. We found that this pup won our hearts and we also found he was "running" the household. After the pandemic, I was prescribed 02 and one of his fun things to do was to chew through the tubing. I researched many dog trainers and through that quest I found Indy K-9. I am so HAPPY I did. We signed up for the 4-week training. Last Sunday, we picked up our 8-month dachshund and he is a joy to be around. He listens to all of the commands and responds in kind. It is remarkable how well-behaved he is. I saw the videos of Jon walking and training my pup and his tail is constantly wagging...he obviously loves his training and the trainer! I highly recommend Jon and hope when we need to be out of town I can board my buddy with someone who cares!!

Awesome program. Great communication and keeping you in the loop. Very happy with our puppy’s training. The best part is the follow up communication making sure things are going good once you are home!

Indy K-9 did an excellent job looking after Tilly while my wife and I were on vacation. Before the board and train, our puppy had a couple of annoying behaviors (nipping, laundry surfing, jumping, and bad leash manners). When we picked her up, we took her on a flawless 20 minute heel walk without issue. We definitely feel much better equipped to keep our puppy safe while also letting her still be a puppy. Would recommend to anyone!

We were absolutely blown away by how much progress our dog made after working with Jonathan for a month. Before this training our dog would jump on people, surf the counters, and bark incessantly when left alone. He liked to chew and eat everything and didn’t listen to our commands. Now he responds to our commands and knows what is expected of him. Our first day after picking him up from training a stranger made a comment about how well-behaved he was. Words I never thought I would hear! Jonathan is so knowledgeable and really ensures you feel confident continuing the training at home. Would highly recommend Indy K-9!

Our family was very hesitant to send our very small chihuahua to training for 4 weeks, but it was a great decision. She had several behavior issues we needed resolved: territorial, biting and overall doing whatever she wanted. Upon her return she is the same dog, but she now is able to listen and obey all the commands Jon taught her. We are now 4 months out and she still knows what is expected of her and obeys all of her commands. I cannot recommend Jon enough.

Great experience with Indy K-9!! Our Goldendoodle puppy completed the 4 week board and train program. She was still our sweet girl when she came home but with manners! Jon was great during the whole process and took the time to make sure I had a grasp on the training. I was amazed with all her progress! He and his team did a wonderful job and I highly recommend their program.

I chose Indy K-9 (owned by Jonathan Combs) as a trainer for my dog, Boss. I did extensive online research and conducted phone interviews searching for the right trainer. After a lot of research and speaking with Jonathan directly, I selected his 30 day course for Boss and couldn’t be happier with the results! Boss is well behaved and Jonathan has taught me so much as a new dog owner. I’ve had many questions over the last year and he’s always available to promptly reply and help me be the best dog owner I can be. Boss now visits Jonathan for boarding when I’m out of town for work. I never worry about Boss when I’m gone. I know Jonathan’s depth of knowledge, dedication to his clients (human and furry ones ?) and passion for the well-being of dogs are used to keep Boss physically safe, mentally happy, and emotionally secure. I’m thankful that Boss and I found Indy K-9!Sherry & Boss Foster

Jon took a dog with some aggression issues and trained her to a much more calm and confident dog. I love that after the private lesson he's available for questions and assistance. Also the inclusion of papers that help demonstrate and reinforce the commands is helpful. I would highly recommend Indy K-9. Out of all the trainers we priced I felt that we were getting the most training for the money.

Indy K-9 did a great job with our Golden Retriever. He is almost a year old and we struggled walking him on a leash. He would tug and pull because he was fearful of his surroundings as well as he didn’t really know how to properly walk on a leash. After two weeks at Indy K-9 we saw a huge difference in the way he walked on a leash. Jon and the team were also very personable and available to any questions we had regarding the training.

We sent our lab puppy, Hank, to Jon for 2 weeks and it has made the biggest difference in our day-to-day with him! Hank fiercely obeys each command Jon went over with us. Before we brought Hank to IndyK9, walking was a struggle. He was only 4 months but we wanted to get him heeling with us as quickly as possible. Immediately upon getting him back we can go on 30 minute walks with Hank right by our side and not getting distracted by other dogs or people. Jon kept us in the loop with video and pics throughout Hank’s stay. From the very beginning we felt comfortable with Jon and leaving Hank there as such a young pup. Not only does he listen to us now, he’s an overall more mature pup! We will continue to use Indy K9 for boarding in the future!

Jonathan Is excellent at his job! Sent our dog for the 4 week training and it made a huge difference. Walking our dog before was a stressful event because of his barking and pulling on leash, but after his training it’s amazing how much better he is. Such an improvement.Also your dog will still be the same personality as before the training. My wife and I were worried that after training our dog wouldn’t be playful and fun, that is not the case. He is still the same old pup but way better.Jonathan also answers all your questions, is very communicative and easy to get a hold of with all your questions. He’s like a dog phone a friend! Full of helpful dog information and support.

I put my Lab/Pit mix through Jon's 4-week, board and train program, and I was amazed by the end result! Initially, I didn't think my dog was very trainable---at least not to the extent that I have seen other dogs---but I was completely wrong. Now, my dog seems much more confident, relaxed, focused, and prepared to take on new challenges. And as the owner, I actually feel confident taking him out to venues, peoples' houses, and even to restaurants.Jon's dog training program is incredible, from start to finish. He gives consistent updates about your dogs behavior and progress throughout the training, and he even sends videos of your dog in action. At the end of the program, he'll inform you on everything you need to know to correctly handle your dog through a hands-on lesson using your new leash and training collar.I couldn't be happier with Jon's program and my newly-trained dog!
