What Customer's Say
ExcellentBased on 15 reviewsJim HeJune 8, 2024On a scale of 1-10, a definite 10+. I've owned many mastiff breeds in the past, and always had a trainer come to the house to train. The results were ok, but nothing remarkable. I decided to give Walker K-9 a try and enrolled my German Shepherd in the 6 week boarding program. The results were outstanding. Upon delivery of the dog, it was as if it was a totally new dog, well behaved and responsive to every command with no stress. The training level was equivalent to an executive dog obedience training program. The dog was exposed to all types of environments, even taken on a boat. I received pictures on a daily basis, keeping me updated with my dog progress. On week 5, I was trained to ensure I understood and executed the commands with precision. I highly recommend Walker K-9 as the ultimate dog training program on and off leash. Customer service is on another level, and is to be commended.Jim GammJune 8, 2024We entrusted our 14 month old, Old English Sheepdog, Zoe, to Chad, Cole and Kelly of Walker K-9 Training from late April until June, in the 6 week program. She was wild and very disobedient. After the 6 weeks, we were re-introduced to Zoe, who appears to be a different dog. She goes to and stays at her ”place” until released. She heals on a loose leash, sits, when commanded, and more than anything, listens to commands. Chad and Cole re-introduced Zoe to us and taught us the “ropes” for 3 hours. I highly recommend Walker K-9 Training to change your dog to a well mannered member of your family!Kristin VoigtJune 8, 2024I used Walker K-9 training for a two-week board and train. The dog I dropped off is not the dog I got back. For reference I have a one year old Great Dane, who knew basic commands but did not listen, had no manners, would pull me around on a walk and was kind of a jerk. I now have a Great Dane who listens to commands, is much more polite and I am able to walk on a loose leash. I have seen Chad in action so I know he is an amazing trainer, but I was honestly surprised at what he was able to accomplish in such a short amount of time. Chad and family took such good care of my boy, and their facility is truly top notch. It is such a pleasure to have a well trained dog our home. I would 10/10 recommend Walker K-9 Training!!L APApril 19, 2024My entire experience with Walker K9 Training has been a delight. From my initial conversation with Chad to the final delivery of my pup, Rolo, which included in-depth training for me on how to reinforce and maintain Rolo’s progress, I could not be more happy. Chad, Kelly, and Cole, not only train your dog, but also love them as their own, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Plus, Kelley would occasionally send me short videos or photos of Rolo, that especially made my day. I loved seeing the progress that he was making. I can now be confident that I wont be pulled over (Rolo used to tug hard and also try to get me to drop the leash) and now he is a good citizen when I walk him in the neighborhood. For anyone looking to get their dog leash trained Walker K9 Training is the place to go. It’s the best investment I’ve made for my dog.Tracy JohnsonMarch 2, 2024One of the best trainers we have ever met! Definitely 5 stars! Harley is like a brand new and respectable dog to us. Chad & Kelly were amazing from sending weekly updates to videos and Harley even made Tik Tok! We can not thank them enough for all their hard work and trained our white German Shepherd to be one amazing dog. Definitely amazing trainers! We highly recommend Walker K-9 Training to everyone. They are worth every penny!Cheryl JacquesFebruary 5, 2024Chad and Kelly Walker of Walker K9 Training are two of the most genuine, caring people I know. They truly love each dog , as if it were their own. My dog, Holly, a two yr old doberman, stayed with them for a month for board and train. The facility is immaculate, the individual care is stellar, and my dog loves it there. Recently, we had a situation , where Holly got loose and, because of her training with Chad, she did a great turn around, when I did the recall, and came back immediately. I am eternally grateful to Walker K9 Training for giving Holly and me continued support. Training the owner is equally important, for continued success. Holly is well mannered, very confident, and happy. We can not say enough about the awesome experience we have had.Donna BolingerFebruary 3, 2024I had a problem understanding prong collar and size . They helped me with it for my German shepherd. Very informative . Knew what they were doing . She was not being trained so they didn't have to help me . I would definitely take her to them but cannot afford at this time . I was very impressed. And thankful 😇Janet MastJanuary 29, 2024Want to start off by saying this boarding program where my pup stayed for the duration of 5 weeks has been one of the cleanest and well maintained training facilities that I have seen, and I searched around When a friend referred me to K9 training Facility. Chad and his wife went above and beyond with Gunnar. Gunnar had a lot of health issues in his first four months of life and we spoiled him terribly. From. the moment I met chad I knew that Gunnar was going to be in great hands and well taken care of. Chad and Kelly make you feel like you are family as soon as you walk into their training facility. I was able to see where my precious pup would be receiving training to where he would play and sleep (A/C). I took Gunnar for the 4 week training program where within a week, I was receiving multiple videos and pictures of his accomplishments. I was flabbergasted at the training he received on a daily basis which he caught onto fairly quickly. From the first week of training I had no doubts in my mind that at 5 weeks he was going to be well trained. Chad was very friendly and extremely helpful in any questions you had at any time throughout the day- Never let a call or text go unanswered. Chad and Kelly brought Gunnar home after his training and spent hours with me at home making sure I felt comfortable with all the commands and training Gunnar received. Chad has actually come back to my house a couple times with some issues that I was having with Gunnar getting his collars on in the morning. I would highly recommend chad and his wife over and over Your pup/dog would not be any better hands than theirs for trainingAnthony FioreOctober 1, 2023My puppy, Angel, was 9 months old when she went to stay with Walker K-9 Training. My son was hesitant about doing a Board and Train for a little over a month, simply because he and Angel are attached at the hip. After dropping Angel off my son felt much better, thanks to Chad and Kelly taking time to show us around and tell us where, when and how Angel would be trained. Throughout her time at training, my son and I regularly received photos and/or videos of how Angel's training was coming along. This made my son and I extremely comfortable with Angel being gone. As for the facilities here, they are amazing. I was so impressed by the way everything is setup and how it works. When we went back to Walker K-9 Training's facility for "our" training, I was so happy. Not only was Angel not doing things we didn't want, such as jumping up to greet us, but she was doing everything so well. She was learning everything we wanted. Sit, down, stay, heel (without pulling lol) and to my amazement recall, she was actually happy and developing muscle tone. When Angel was dropped off to us after her training, Chad & Kelly, spent multiple hours making sure my son was comfortable with and knew how to continue her training. Walker K-9 Training has changed our lives. Angel is definitely happier, more attentive and way more connected to me, not just my son. Since Angel returned home, she has not been on a leash. Even though Angel did not go through the off-leash training. The skills she was taught has allowed for a more enjoyable life with our Angel. She has grown to love to play fetch, since she is not leashed, and cannot get enough of it. She does not jump up on my son's grandparents at all and oddly has formed a very strong bond with grandpa. lol. My son has also trained Angel on some new things, such as: spin, fist bump (but she uses he paw) and she has finally become a beach water dog. Angel has become the fun loving, fun to be around and fun to have around dog that all dog owners want. Please feel free to use me as a reference. Thank you Walker K-9 Training. AnthonyCindy ZughbiSeptember 21, 2023Olaf had been through 2 other training courses and I was at my wits end. I honestly thought he had no hope….until I met Chad and Kelly. Olaf did a 6 week program with them, he’s been home for over a month and is THRIVING thanks to their training! He is not as reactive when he sees other dogs, and I am now able to take him to my office. I cannot thank them enough for turning my hopes into reality. They are genuine, honest, and committed. Once I get a Olaf a sister, she will definitely be going to train with Chad and Kelly.
ExcellentBased on 14 reviewsJulene j.2023-05-09Hands down, the best and most respectable trainer I know!! His love for our dog while he had him in training (and beyond) is truly heartwarming! You won’t be disappointed!Ann R.2022-08-06Chad was wonderful to work with. Pepper our Dalmatian was in 2 other homes before we rescued her. Wild child was her Knick name. Within 1 week she was a different dog. When I had difficulty with her, Chad evaluated the situation and suggested a solution. After 5 weeks she is an amazing obedient puppy not quite 1 yr old. Thank you Chad!!!Alea G.2022-04-18Working with Mr. Walker from start to finish was very easy. From the original phone consultation to the receiving my baby girl back home after her training, he made the entire process comfortable and easy to understand. Mr. Walker is a very honest, and trustworthy professional who really has passion for what he does. I was skeptical about sending my pup to anyone for training, and for anyone it was very nerve wrecking but he took very good care of her, and her training was worth every penny. Mr. Walker eased the nerves by keeping me updated on her training and I received multiple sets of photos and videos during her stay. Solstice my German Shepherd definitely needed some work. She was very reactive to everyone, and her general obedience was just not there. However after three weeks I received an entire new dog. Still the playful and happy pup, but her obedience and demeanor really took a turn for the better. It’s very easy to walk her now, and I’m more relaxed taking her places. She listens so well, and it has created a stronger bond between us, which is Walkers main goal. I couldn’t be more happy. He also took two hours out of his time when dropping her off to teach me the ins and outs.Paul & Judy T.2022-02-07Chad did an outstanding job with Ozzie, our until now out-of-control Pomeranian mix. While we are working with him daily, and he still has his moments, he has responded incredibly well to the training. Before, whenever Ozzie met another dog, encountered folks on golf carts or someone visited the house, he would bark and get aggressive to the point where we would have to get him away as there was no calming him down. Today, on walks he acts beautifully when meeting other dogs and ignores the golf carts. When folks come o the door, he barks appropriately (lets us know he is on the job, then after told to do so he quiets down). He has come with us to a local art festival and behaved perfectly when folks came up to pet him and he met other dogs. We cannot recommend Walker K-9 enough!Vanessa B.2022-01-27We hired Mr Walker to train our very energetic pocket bully Bella and he surpassed way more then we thought could be taught just one session! By the time Mr Walker left, Bella was repeatedly showing amazing improvements, especially knowing how to sit, stay, place and down as well as learning how to overdone her nervousness going beyond our block on walks! We are so very happy we hired him and how much he taught Bella but what he taught us as well was so important and amazing to know and learn! Hire him you will be beyond happy you did!Lisa F.2021-12-20Chad was invaluable to us in providing some control and obedience over our very strong baby! She has a couple of other issues such as timidness and fear of busy places. He not only did what he promised to do in regards to training her, he took her along with him to places to help work on her confidence and exposure to things. We were going out of town so he kept her longer and continued to work with her. She is so much better with her leash behaviors and obedience. We are continuing to work with her and keep everything going that Chad built with her. Highly recommend!!!Amanda T.2021-12-18We had a wonderful experience working with Walker K-9 Training. There is so many good things to say, but above all, we felt 100% confident that our dog would be safe and well cared for during his training. He came home the same happy, healthy dog with great manners! The results truly are amazing. We would highly recommend Walker K-9 Training to anyone!Shannon R.2021-11-02We are super pleased with Chad and the success we’ve already seen in our girl Remi. He gave us all the tools we needed to work consistently with her and she gets better and better everyday! Highly recommend for training your pups!Jimmy T.2021-09-28We haven’t start yet but Mr.walker is very professional and knows His training skills for training dogs 😀Maggie B.2021-09-06Mr. Walker explained everything to me very clearly and showed me different training techniques and then let me practice to really nail them down with my dog. After one session it was like I had a brand new dog. My dogs behavior has changed so much, and for the better, I am so grateful that I received help from Mr. Walker.
