I sent my 7 month old puppy, Willow, to the three week board and train with Camryn. I was of course extremely nervous at first and hesitant to send her off but I was quickly put at ease. I could tell that Willow was in great hands and completely well cared for. I sent her to the program to work on her confidence and general obedience. I received videos and photos from Camryn daily that showed Willow’s progress. I could see how she began to learn more commands and make progress both on and off leash. As soon as Willow came home I could tell she was much more obedient and her confidence in new places grew tremendously. I am excited to continue to work with Willow and grow her obedience through the foundation that Camryn laid for her. I am so happy that I used Keystone and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to put their dog in training.

Sent my 1.5 year old intact German Sheperd here for perceived aggression problems (which I have now learned was not aggression, but fear). Their trainer Casey took him in for a month and I just got him back-- he's the same smart boy I know and love, but much better at following commands and much chiller around other dogs and people. I'm super grateful that I can take Jack places and feel confident knowing he'll be ok. I'm excited for this new partnership I get to build with my boy! Thank you Keystone K9, and thank you Casey! ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to hear that Jack is now more comfortable and responsive, and that you're feeling confident taking him to new places. We're glad that Casey could help uncover his true temperament and strengthen your partnership.

Voodoo just finished a 3 week board and train with Casey, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She’s struggled with fear of strangers for years—so much so that I couldn’t safely have her around family. Casey focused on building her confidence and strengthening her obedience, and the change has been incredible. Voodoo is noticeably more self-assured, and I finally feel comfortable taking her into busy, crowded places. While getting her fully comfortable with friends and family will take time, I’m confident she’s on the right path. Casey has been wonderful to work with—patient, kind, and genuinely invested in Voodoo’s success. I’m really looking forward to continuing our work together at group training classes as we help Voodoo build better relationships with the people in my life.

When my girlfriend and I decided to get a dog six months ago, we reached out to Keystone K9 to help us with the process. Andrew was phenomenal and helped place Howie with us - a beautiful golden retriever puppy with the perfect temperament for our personalities. Howie completed a customized 3 month long service dog board and train with Keystone K9 that instilled an excellent base of obedience and calmness. Keystone trainers Casey and Camryn both hosted Howie and were so thoughtful in the way they would update us with photos, videos and insights into what they were working on with our little guy. The fact Howie was able to work with multiple Keystone trainers really made it easy for him to transition to our home and know how to listen to the commands even if they were coming from us and not the handlers he was used to. I also would like to thank & commend the Keystone team for the detailed and thorough “go home” lesson they conducted with us before handing over Howie. This was a crucial part of how they set us all up for success. Howie had spent months training, but we needed to be trained on how to be the trainer - and Camryn and Andrew couldn’t have done a better job! Since Howie came home, the Keystone team has continued to reach out and be a helpful resource for us as new dog parents. THANK YOU to the whole Keystone K9 team for their outstanding level of care and professionalism - we could not be more happy with our new pup!!

I reached out to Keystone K9 desperately looking for help with my 8yo dog. Since brining my daughter home 2.5 years ago she has struggled to be comfortable around her, she displayed signs of aggression and fear. I went to two trainers before I landed here, both told me she’s just not meant to be around kids and I should rehome her or put her down. I had her in a separate area of the house for a year and a half to protect my toddler. I am SO thankful I took the chance and sent Lila to the three week board and train program. She came back happy, healthy, and confident. Her body language around my toddler is completely different. Keystone K9 helped me integrate her back into my family with minor lifestyle modifications and a training device. They did what others said was not possible. Kay was Lila’s trainer and she was so kind and empathetic to our situation. She had excellent communication with me whenever I had a question or just to share a photo / video of Lila’s progress. Lila was definitely sad to see her leave when she was brought home to stay with us. I have been recommending keystone k9 to friends and family. We will 100% be using them again in the future with my second less problematic dog as well as any future dogs we get. They provide a strong foundation that can’t be replaced. Than you for giving my Lila a second chance to stay with us, we are forever thankful.

If you're considering booking, do it! We chose the board and train program, where our pup stayed with Casey for three weeks, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Casey is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, tailoring the experience to meet our dog's needs. Under her guidance, he’s grown into a polite, confident, and obedient young dog. The entire team is responsive, supportive, and eager to answer any questions along the way. We truly can’t recommend them enough!

This was a wonderful experience from start to finish for both me and my pup! I got Bear about a year ago and he was already 2, which means some of his bad habits were a little tough for me to get through on my own. After a consultation, Andrew recommended we do the 3 week board & train program to address Bear's reactivity and give him the opportunity to build confidence. I was very apprehensive due to sticker shock and the fact that I've never been away from my dog that long but they really assured me every step of the way! The communication was very prompt, they provided updates from our trainer Kay almost daily or whenever I asked and gave me a bunch of resources & a take-home lesson the day he came home so I could keep up with his progress! It was obvious they truly cared about Bear and they even kept him 2 extra days (at no cost) to solidify some of his new training. The difference in his response time and attentiveness during walks is truly incredible, I can keep him engaged much easier which has cut down those reactive behaviors! I could go on and on but bottom line: NO REGRETS!

We worked with Camryn at Keystone K9 for our puppy, Maggie Mae and we couldn’t be happier! When we first started, Maggie was a wild, high-energy pup who barked/bite nonstop and had no idea how to calm down. Camryn was amazing from day one — patient, knowledgeable, and so good at reading Maggie’s personality. With just 3 weeks she helped us work through all of Maggie’s bad habits in a positive, effective way and even introduced us to scent work, which has been a total game changer. Maggie finally has a way to channel her energy and do something that fulfills her natural instincts. We’re so thankful for the progress Maggie has made, she’s still full of personality, but now she listens, focuses, and actually enjoys learning. Highly recommend keystone k9 for your pups!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Camryn worked with my puppy (Jax) and she was FANTASTIC!!! My puppy was with her for 2 weeks and the results were incredible. She was awesome with him and kept me updated with daily texts, pics, and videos. I knew Jax was being well taken care of. She even went above and beyond to take him to his vet appointment and dealt with his pickiness with his food. She assisted in finding a brand that he liked better. I plan to continue to use Keystone K9 with further training needs.

I did the 2 week Board and Train program for my 3 month old goldendoodle. My boy was super well cared for and came home an even more confident and obedient pup! Cannot recommend Keystone enough. The staff is so caring and incredible to work with! I received regular updates with pictures and videos. I will absolutely be continuing to work with keystone as my pup continues to grow!

We worked with Casey for the two week puppy program and we were amazed with how Enzo was so focused on Casey. She kept him longer than two weeks to work on his potty training; there was no additional charge for the extra time. We would love a puppy parent class!! I can't imagine Enzo being quite as focused with us. First photo is one Casey sent us during training; second photo is first morning home chilling while I get ready for the day.

Casey was the perfect trainer and partner for our very sweet but reactive lab mix. In just three weeks, he is more confident, relaxed, and aware of his size and surroundings. I can’t wait to take him out to explore more of the world. He’s still that lovable, goofy pup that makes me laugh every morning - but now with more manners.

Amazing experience with Keystone! My dog came home happy, confident, and with great new manners. The staff truly cared for her and kept me updated the whole time. Highly recommend! The trainers kept me in the loop with updates so i wasn’t imagining her having the time of her life. Will definitely be following up and attending their group classes they offer.

My very bouncy and playful Black Lab puppy went to Casey with a jumping problem and came back a happier dog. Training our puppy at home wasn't working; we had another puppy at the time, and there was too much going on. Cola underwent a 3-week board and train program and returned as a perfectly trained dog. She has had perfect manners ever since and has shown a love for learning new tricks. Cola has done so well, in fact, with her training that she is now diligently working to become a service dog. Casey and Andrew have taken the time not only to follow up on Cola’s training but have also helped write a letter of support attesting to her skills. I couldn’t be more thankful to Casey and the team at K9 Keystone.

We loved working with Casey! Our two boys found themselves unable to stand each other just a few months ago and now look at them! Better recall and less begging too! Would highly recommend their board and train program to anyone I meet who has a dog or dogs with behavioral issues.

Casey did an awesome job training my 3 year old corgi, Brody! He really struggled with verbal commands, walking and reacting to other pets. He has made a complete 180 since his training and I am so grateful for all Casey has done with both of my corgis! Would recommend to anyone regardless of dog breed.

Casey was amazing. She put us at ease from the very start when she picked up our small dogs. Everything was explained to us in detail and every question was answered. Her passion and love for dogs shined through, we didn’t have any hesitation leaving them in her care. She always kept us in the loop with updates and videos. We were amazed with the progress and thankful for the time she spent with us transitioning them back into our home. They have been home for a couple of weeks now and we are so proud of their accomplishments. Thank you Casey, we couldn’t have done it without you. Steve and Trish

I had Casey train are two Yellow Labs Odie and Tammy and the service and training that she provided was outstanding! I would recommend Keystone K9 and especially Casey to any one who needs quality dog training. She went above and beyond especially during the go home training. She made sure we know exactly what to expect and how to keep enforcing the training she gave are dogs. Great Trainer and a Great company.
