Tactical K9 Co Reviews

Terry did a great job with my six month old lab nova. I sent her in for the three week board and train program. and he even kept her for an extra week free of charge to get her commands even more polished up to his high standards. nova never really listened to me. as a first time dog owner, I didn’t really know how to train her as i thought i would. I would go off the Internet so I knew I needed professional help. Terry did exactly what I thought he would, he has made it so much easier for me to live my life with nova and be able to take her places knowing that she’ll act right. he trained her with such a good recall on leash that I was able to easily train her with an E collar so that I can trust her off leash. She also is much better at walking as she heals with a loose leash and now even with no leash. The basic obedience package that I chose, includes all commands being done on leash, but Terry did such a good job enforcing those commands to my dog that it was easy for me to convert the leashed methods to off leash. that has made it so much easier for me to take nova out and have fun and let her have fun as a dog doing dog things. I love seeing her in her element out at the pond or the field free roaming, sniffing around swimming or chasing wildlife and I know when I say nova come, she will come. before the training, i couldn’t even imagine having her off leash. she would run off and never come back. not only that nova actually understands what no means and she understands what I want done from her. It’s like Terry unlocked a new understanding for her brain. she learned to sit or lay down and stay at that position until I say come or free. I could walk very far and she would stay at the spot until I release her. She was also crate trained during the Four weeks And I can’t forget the climb (place) command that he taught her. which is very useful when we’re in the kitchen or eating at the dinner table. He also included a place mat aka elevated dog bed for her, which was great. Also, a Herman Springer collar, which she Was trained all commands with by him so she is super super good when she’s wearing it. She is now good at ignoring other dogs and people while we are walking in public, which is also a great plus. she heels great and it’s also very cool that she will auto sit when i stop walking. i definitely reccomend taking your dog to terry if you are in the area. She is my family’s first dog and due to his training She is much easier for all of us to deal with. Every day it impresses us even more of what she’s capable of now. It wasn’t easy sending her off at first, but Thank you terry and your team for getting nova right.

Staff were very knowledgeable and very patient with our lily. She has a lot of anxiety and nervous issues and they were able to make real good progress with her. I would recommend taking your dog here especially if they have anxiety, the staff will take their time and make sure your fur babies are comfortable. Thank you tactical k9 for your help with Lily.

We entrusted my Miles to Terry as he came highly recommended and we are so glad we did. He went from dragging us down the street to calmly walking next to us. We will definitely be keeping Terry in our lives.

Terry and his staff are wonderful! My pup came back happy, healthy, and made easy more progress than I ever expected after the time with them. Thank you so much.

Very professional and informative.

Terry was amazing with our Piper. She is totally different puppy now. She had a few ugly behaviors but he worked through it and taught us so much. He was very patient with us and all of our questions and very kind. I was amazed at how kind his demeanor and mannerisms were with Piper. He is super soft spoken and so easy to talk to. He sent me multiple pictures and videos of her progress during her stay and I can’t recommend him enough.

We cannot recommend Tactical K9 and Terry enough! We came to him with our 3 year old dog (hound mix) who was reactive towards strangers and other animals. He was also anxious 24/7. After spending time with Terry and his wonderful staff, he is the same loving dog we know but can now extend that love to other people and dogs. We are confident in taking him into public places and having guests in our home. Terry also provided us with the tools and knowledge necessary to continue his training at home. Even after we brought our dog home, Terry has been more than willing to answer any questions we have. We strongly recommend his services and will most definitely be bringing him our future dogs.

Girlfriend and I picked up a stray with fear aggression toward strangers. Terry and his Tran did an amazing job with him! He has also helped us learn a lot about how to be an advocate for our dog and how to continue to train him moving forward. VERY highly recommended for any training needs.

Pac and King were trained with this company and the professionalism and communication was great. The dogs came back well trained and disciplined. The trainers provided one on one training and followed up after we returned home. I highly recommend this company and will be returning with more of our pets!

I recently boarded my blue nose bully with K9 and Oden is nothing but smarter and way more patient. He use to be very jumpy and use to pull on the leash when walked. Now he walks on my side and waits for commands to do most things. Highly recommend for everyone to bring their dog in

I found tactical k9 to be very professional in there puppy training..they made it easy to understand your puppy..and I couldn't be more happy with the result..I will be sending my puppy back to them for more advanced training

My family and I were very impressed wirh the training our puppy received. Our German Shepherd attended the obedience training for 3 weeks. He learned to climb, sit, down/lay and socialize with other animals. Before training we would take him for walks in the neighborhood and he would want to run wild and pull away. After returning from training he learned to walk without leaving our side to include no more running wild or pulling away. Upon picking him up I spent maybe 2 hours working with the trainer and learning how to execute the commands with our puppy and was able to teach our children back home how to help maintain his obedience. We are very pleased and impressed with his behavior once our puppy returned home. We were incourge to work with him at least 30 minutes a day to help maintain his training. It's been a week and he is doing very well.

Best price of all the trainers I found, but the quality of care and training is top notch. They communicated with text and video weekly. They answered all questions in a timely manner. Finally, They were patient, and assured that we were ready to take over before leaving us with our dog.

Jon worked a miracle with our 1 year old GSD. He did lots of resource guarding and had fear aggression before he started the program. Now Sammie is pretty chill around other animals (on top of listening to our commands now). The team is professional, reasonably priced, provided weekly updates with video, and was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend.

My husband and I decided to bring our puppy in for training after calling a few places. When we talked with Terry we decided on Tactical K9. Good people, good prices. Starting off, we ran into problems at the Vet that kept pushing back our start date for day training. Terry suggested a new vet to us that we are now very happy with. Terry was also very patient and flexible with us, which we appreciate. Training started and our puppy is a very suspicious and cautious guy, he eventually warmed up and was excited to go in the mornings. Jon did an awesome job working with our puppy, whose favor you have to earn. Both Jon and Terry are caring and attentive trainers who just want you to have the comfort of a well trained dog and will go out of their way to insure both you and your dog have the knowledge and skills to maintain the good behavior. Highly recommend based on quality of service and training.

I 100% recommend Tactical K9! They took wonderful care of my dog and he’s been so much better since going through their behavior modification course. I didn’t have the knowledge to teach him how to do all the things they’ve taught him and it greatly helped me with learning new ways to burn some of his energy. He can now be around other animals and people without being distracted and still listen to commands. I can’t praise them enough!

When I went to pick up my dog he was being Abusive.He did not treat my dog with love and care.

I just got my German shep. back from the puppy program and I am impressed! He listens to commands very well, not as easily distracted , doesn’t play bite anymore, terry showed me how to continue with training at home and gave me all the tools! Leash, clicker and collar and platform. It makes it fun for him and my life easier! family and friends are impressed, I’m definitely doing the obedience course in 2 more months when he’s a little older!

We adopted our 9-month-old from a GSD rescue. Within 2 weeks, as he became more comfortable in his new home, he began displaying bad habits. All our training attempts failed, and he no longer listened to us. We felt fearful in not being able to control him, and in dire need of professional help with his disobedience. We reached out to Terry (who was highly recommended) and explained the specific bad behaviors we were dealing with: pulling on his leash, bark and lunge at people we passed on walks, HARD play biting (he drew blood on me and our other dog), continually jump on people in our home, and bark constantly when he was in his crate. Terry recommended his Basic Obedience training program with the “board and train”. Throughout the training program, Terry sent us videos weekly of Jordi’s progress. Watching the transformation was incredible. We met Terry to pick up Jordi at the end of the training program, for a “train the trainer” session. Terry is not only a phenomenal trainer with dogs, but with people too! He spent 2 hours training us on the commands Jordi learned, and the importance in us building and maintaining trust with Jordi. It felt like a lot to re-learn and we both got frustrated at times, but Terry was patient and understanding with us. We cannot express the relief we feel with Jordi’s continued obedience. It has allowed us to enjoy his sweet demeanor, and a joy to see him WANT to be well-behaved. I continually recommended Terry and Tactical K9 to anyone who compliments Jordi’s great behavior on walks and in our home. Thanks again Terry, for everything!

Tired puppy after his training today! I’m so glad that I sent him Tactical K9’s puppy training boarding school!! He is well socialized, obeying commands, and not jumping up on my granddaughter now. ♥️. Thank you Tactical K9! It was well worth the money!
