They are fantastic.

We're starting another class tomorrow with them. We're very pleased with them and so we're taking him back for more advanced training. They were very professional. We like the facility. It was clean. We like that we could be outside and they have a nice outside area. They're friendly and very competent. We got a discount for his training that will start tomorrow because we were previous customers.

Our pup is just about to graduate, and so far we are very pleased with the classes. I have done the puppy thing before, including obedience school, but my husband had not. He quickly became overwhelmed with the furry little bundle of energy, but fortunately we were prepared and had her enrolled ASAP. Since he hasn't gone through this stuff before, I wanted him to be the one to lead her through the classes, however even though I've done obedience training, I still learned a lot in the class and was very pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of some of the little behavior tricks they showed us.
Our dog is still quite young, so she still has a ways to go, but she is learning quickly and more importantly, my husband and I feel like we are gaining the tools we need to work with her. Particularly considering her young age we actually have fairly few behavior problems since starting Puppy Class.
The trainers are very friendly (we had Katie for the Puppy class, and if I may say so, she has the perfect energy and patience level for a roomful of puppies) and very accessible. After the first class Katie encouraged everyone to take a business card and to call or email her if they had any questions/concerns throughout the week. She also hangs around quite a bit after class and answers any one-on-one questions you might have, or will walk you through some of the exercises that you might not have understood well in class.
The school has a few large, fenced training and quot;yardsand quot; outside and provides chairs for you to sit in with your pup, and there's a water bowl and pooper scooper if needed. There is also a large building with indoor training areas in case of inclement weather, which we happened to use for one class. While I am happy it's there, the building was really my only complaint, but only because it had less space than the yard, and they also board dogs and have other classes, so there were periods where dogs in another areas would start barking all at once. With all the different smells together and the sounds, the puppies were particularly distracted that class. That said, I would much rather have it as an option for bad weather than not at all.
We are very pleased with the classes and the trainers, so much so that we have already enrolled her in Basic Obedience (that class is $130 for six weeks).

They were very good. We've known about them for years and we've used them for four or five years for different things. They are very knowledgeable about what they are doing and they are responsive to our needs. They do a very god job and we have been very pleased. The price depends on what you're doing; an initial private class is $250 an hour and a follow-up is $150. An eight week course is around $125. . Their price is a little high based on other companies. We're going back tonight.

They absolutely made my dog a better dog. They are wonderful. They have great classes. I can't say enough good things about them. I plan on going back there.

Our dog had some issues, we just received him a few months ago and he had a traumatic experience in the past year. He was not a happy camper, very disobedient and would snarl. Since he got back he is the sweetest dog, very well behaved and seems like a happy dog again. I was absolutely satisfied with their service and they even kept him a week extra on their dime because they did an evaluation saying he needed about three weeks but he needed four. They didn't charge any extra for the extra time.They wanted to make sure that he went home the way we expected. I was impressed and they kept in contact with me the whole time.

I have been a client of K9 University since December 2011.  I purchased Tara, a 1 1/2 year old Great Dane that I wanted trained. I contacted K9U and started private lessons. The results were immediate.  She was very very skiddish and scared of everything!!!  They started off  gently teaching me the proper way to walk Tara and by the end of the first lesson I knew how to work with her to get "sit" "down" "stay" and "come". I was so impressed that I continued to take private lessons every week.  Each week our trainer worked with us until Tara was comfortable with a command and understood what what expected.  I watched my sweet, scared, baby girl gain more confidence every day and get control of her anxiety and fear.
We also worked with Kyli, the staff groomer and now Tara stands quietly for bathing and no longer has anxiety attacks and drools and shakes when someone touches her. :)   She adores Kyli even though she really doesn't look forward to grooming days....lol
After only a few months of obedience and grooming training, both she and I were ready to handle a class with other people and dogs.  She did fantastic!!!   On May 23, 2012, Tara took her Canine Good Citizen exam and passed with flying colors!!!!   She is now trained and ready to do therapy work in Nursing Homes and Hospitals.
The trainers that I worked with (Vicky- our private trainer  and Debbie- the class trainer) are fantastic (as are ALL the trainers that I met!).  They have totally changed our lives.  We love to go out and meet people now.  Tara is so calm and well mannered that people compliment us all the time.  She no longer is scared to meet people.  She now faces new places and tasks with confidence instead of fear. 
I took Tara by our Vet the other day and he said that she did not even look like the same dog I brought in the day after I got her. She is so much more confident and secure that he nor the rest of the staff could believe it.
I cannot say enough good things about the staff and training methods at K9 University.  Their classes are inexpensive and absolutely worth it, as are their private one hour training sessions.  
I LOVE K9U.
