Just what we needed! Solomon, a 4 year old labradoodle is different dog today than just 10 short weeks ago. Of course, we're not the same either:) We wish we'd made the decision to see Dewayne. He's a spectacular trainer with a vast amount of invaluable knowledge. Is it hard work? NO. Is there time to put in? YES, but the rewards are plentiful!

Blue Chip K9 has transformed our dog Oliver. Prior to training with Blue Chip I would refer to Oliver as DD(devil dog). With Dewayne and Vanessa’s help Oliver has done a complete 180. Oliver listens to and obeys commands, walks are actually fun now, he is polite around people and other dogs. Oliver really enjoys training and overall is a much happier pup. Blue Chip has been supportive, guiding and honest during the whole process.

Blue Chip K9 was just what we needed and was looking for! We participated in the 8 week private training course. It required a LOT of hard work and dedication but at the end was so rewarding. Dewayne is such a knowledgeable trainer and helped us so much with understanding our dog more. Dewayne is very professional and passionate about what he does! I have nothing but good things to say about Blue Chip K9!! I was so sad when training ended!! I would recommend it to anyone who is willing to put in the work and time to build a better relationship between them and their fur baby!

I had the best experience at Blue Chip K9. The knowledge Dewayne has for training is amazing. He explains it in a way that makes sense and easy to follow through on. He is enthusiastic and very passionate about what he does and his greatest accomplishment is when dog owners feel empowered and feel a stronger bond with their dog through understanding how to communicate with one another. I would highly recommend Blue Chip K9 to anyone. No matter if it is a small or big issue you have, he can definitely give you the tools to have a better relationship with your dog. Boomer and I thank you again Dewayne and Vanessa for everything.

Dwayne at Blue Chip K9 is an amazing dog trainer. My dog Roxie was lacking in confidence and had high anxiety. With the training we received, Roxie is a new dog. I can take her on walks in the neighborhood and the park without her pulling me down the street or lunging and barking at every dog or person she saw. Now, Roxie is so pleasant. With the knowledge I gained and will continue to apply, Roxie will continue to improve and she will live the life she deserves and not be a bundle of stress. If you follow the program as prescribed and do the work, you will see positive results very quickly. Enrolling Roxie and I in this program is the best love I could give her.

When we first came into this session, I was honestly not as informed or knowledgeable. Through these sessions I can say, I have become a much more experienced person with Milo and how dogs function. Milo has become more responsive to us through these training and he doesn’t test us as much as he used to. We learned how to not give in to what he wants and all it needed was some time and practice. Thank you to all that work at Blue Chip K9 and the most thanks go to Dwayne.

When we first started with our 1yr old cane corso we never thought we'd be able to get him to do anything, much less be off leash. After 12 weeks of training and a lot of work he is a completely different dog. Dewayne and Naomi were the best in our training sessions, very patient, reassuring, and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about our dog and how to train him effectively. We can even take what we learned and apply to our other dogs. The personal training we chose at Blue Chip K9 allowed us to learn along side our dog and equipped us to be able to train and hold him accountable for his lifetime. Yes, I said lifetime. Training is not just 8-12 weeks and you're done, it's a lifetime of accountability. Let's face it, you don't teach your kids something and then you're done. It's a constant teaching and holding them accountable.I will end with this. We looked into a lot of training and most everywhere we looked was board and train. Personal training is a lot of work, believe it when they tell you that. The time the trainers at Blue Chip K9 took with us and our dog to teach us both how we can have a great dog was the best decision we could have made. We now have a dog we can control and take in public without concern of him misbehaving.

I did private lessons with Dwayne for my dog Earl (7yo male husky pit mix) who is very dog reactive and was also stubborn in training. Dwayne completely turned things around for us; Earls obedience is now top notch, we made solid progress on the reactivity, and now have the tools we need to keep making strides. I loved the private lessons since it taught me how to better train my dog and how to think about training. I cannot recommend Blue Chip K9 enough!

So we started with Blue Chip when we were just tired of Cash, who is a hardheaded English Bulldog puppy, not listening and having zero manners. We signed him up for board and train for 5 weeks and this Mama was nervous but after meeting Dwayne and Vanessa I felt so at ease to leave our fur baby for 5 weeks. Cash came back a brand new dog who we actually love being around and his manners are on point. They would send weekly updates along with photos that made us smile every single time. We now use them for boarding when we travel which puts our hearts at ease because we know he’s in good hands.. That alone will take a load off anyone when they are traveling, because there is very small list of people we trust with Cash, but Blue Chip and staff are top notch and they love him like their own. We highly recommend them for training and all services.

I can’t say enough great things about Blue Chip K9, they’ve changed our lives for the better! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to help you and your dog have a better relationship! Before Blue Chip K9, Tucker was out of control and very hard to handle and walking him was impossible! Since his training, he’s so much better! They not only taught him but they taught us too. Thank you Blue Chip for helping us to have a better relationship with our fur baby! We’re forever grateful!

I can't recommend BCK9 high enough. They are patient in training dog moms and dads how to effectively communicate with their dog. They not only show you the techniques, but they give you the background to help you understand why you're performing it. They tell you how your dog understands and learns from you. I had the biggest fear that my dog would not like me for training him, but it turns out that he LOVES our sessions and has gained a lot more trust in me as a result of BCK9's training style.While looking for a trainer can be a daunting task, finding one that truly wants to help people with their fur baby relationship is 1 in a million. BlueChip K9 is definitely that 1. If you love your dog, call BlueChip K9 ASAP. You won't regret it.

The team at Blue Chip is incredible! They all want the best learning experience for the dogs and owners. After I adopted my dog, Honey from a shelter I was lost in how to train her. At Blue Chip, she did so well and WE learned a lot from her training! She now LOVES going back for boarding. They are extremely patient, helpful, and go above and beyond! I am so thankful for their help and support!

I knew of two other people that did board and train at Blue Chip K9 before I made the call. I was struggling with my ability to communicate with and control my 5 year old pittie, Eleanor. My first phone call with Dewayne made me feel like they were the right fit for us. I struggled with leaving her for 5 weeks but I believe it was more of a struggle for me than her. The strange thing was, I felt more connected to her after being away from her for 5 weeks then I did before I dropped her off. She is so eager to learn and thanks to Blue Chip K9 I have the skills I need to teach her.If you are looking for a quick fix for your dog, this program Is not for you. This is a real progress that requires work on both your part and your dog’s part.It is so rewarding and heartwarming to see my Ellie succeed. We will be starting group classes in March and I can’t wait. We have some work ahead of us but the progress so far is amazing!Thank you to the whole team at Blue Chip K9!!

My wife won training sessions in a raffle for our rescue dog, Luna. Though we may have received the training for free, it was well worth the money and we are considering advanced classes for both of our dogs. Dewayne is an awesome trainer and gives it to you straight. He’s super helpful and responsive if you ever have any questions or need advice. Our household greatly benefited from Blue Chip K9 training and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to not only help their pups become better-behaved but also learn more about their psyche and what motivates them!

From the jump, Vanessa and Dewayne showed us how professional and caring they were and made us feel really comfortable during our consultation. I think many people can relate that it is nerve wracking leaving your fur baby in the hands of anyone else, and for my partner and I it was a huge deal leaving ours for 6 weeks, but we took the chance bc we wanted to have a better relationship with our rambunctious, headstrong husky. I’m so glad we took the leap bc we now have a husky that we can take everywhere with us and she sits on command, heels, stays in a down, and comes when called on. There’s no better feeling than being able to communicate with your dog and they are happy to understand you and listen. Seeing her progress has been incredible, I never imagined my husky that used to drag me through the street to walk by side and trust me so much that she looks at me as she walks. Dewayne and Vanessa run a great team and plan so many activities for us; from more obedience-based training sessions to fun classes through museums and parks. They’ve even been so kind to extend classes as long as we were willing to participate. They always check in to see if we need any extra help and if any dog is struggling, they don’t blow us off and work reps in until we figure things out. I couldn’t be happier with this experience, I highly recommend them to anyone. There is no stone left unturned with them. If you’re hesitant at all, just have a consultation with them and you will instantly be able to tell that your dog will be in good hands. I’m so grateful we found them, thanks to them we will be able to give our Akira the life she deserves.
