I was looking for a training program for my 5 month old puppy Bailey, and the 2 week board and train program with Victoria exceeded my expectations. Bailey learned basic puppy manners and potty training so he is on his way to model citizen. Pick up and drop off services are a plus, and regular updates with your trainer help you to learn new skills as your puppy is learning as well.

I was leaving the country for a few weeks and was looking for a trainer for my new puppy. Olive wasn’t yet potty trained and it was super important to me for her to go to someone with experience. After calling around a few different board and train facilities in the greater NY area I finally came across Complete K9. I felt like I connected with everyone I talked to. I felt like not only Olive’s well being was important but they were also very accommodating and accepting of any of my special requests, as an over bearing dog owner. I received daily videos from Ivan the trainer and constant updates which I loved! Ivan truly loves all of the dogs and I felt like Olive was in great care. Additionally, it’s super helpful that they pickup and drop off from anywhere in the city! That in of itself was a HUGE perk!! I’ve since recommended friends who have also had very positive experiences with their doggies training with Ivan.

My dog ​​Leo has improved a lot. He had a lot of anxiety issues since we moved to New Jersey, and since then, he's been a calm, happy, playful dog. He doesn't scare so easily anymore. The whole family is very grateful to Dogwise Academy, the attention and continuous feedback is incredible. I never write reviews but had to write one. Good work!

I thought it would be mission impossible. All I can say is wow! Ivan was AMAZING. My dog is 8 years old and was suffering from severe separation anxiety post Covid and had been sleeping in my bed for 8 years which needed to stop. He was so sweet and kind with my dog and taught her new habits and then some. I am so grateful and have already recommended to friends.

The 3-week board and training program with Jose exceeded my expectations. He gave consistent and thorough daily updates on Nikko’s progress and socialization with the other dogs in the program. His presentation and PDF guides were also helpful for us to learn the lingo and continue with Nikko’s training after the program. Jose is highly recommended as a trainer: friendly, informative and truly is passionate about the dogs’ well-being and growth.

Wonderful experience with Ivan, who became family to my neurotic and lovable chihuahua mix. My pup did a rehab course to correct some of her maladaptive behaviors (she was a pound rescue and had a tough puppyhood)— she was returned a much more confident, sweet, and happy girl. I got daily updates and lots of helpful follow-up and will be going back to Ivan to continue the learning journey. Plus, the whole team made me super comfortable with the process (having my pup at “sleep away camp” for 1 month was daunting at first!). Highly highly recommend.

My puppy Zuko went with Ivan in CT for 2 weeks in the board and train program. He came back a new puppy—independent, doesn’t whine or have to follow me when I leave the room, can occupy himself while i’m busy doing other things, obedient to learned commands. He is a 5 month old puppy so he still gors off cue sometimes when outside with all the distractions but I am so happy with his progress and am thankful for Ivan and his team. He was always quickly responsive and sent videos and updates daily as well as spent 1.5 hours with me when he dropped Zuko off at home to go over what he learned.
