The K9Konnection Dog Training and Behavior Specialists

We just completed the Beginners Manners Class with Nil. Nil is an incredible trainer - she has so much knowledge, is incredibly patient, and offers great advice. We learned so much in class, and practice at home every day. We see a difference in our Puppy Cosmo. We highly recommend K9 Konnection. Thank you Nil!

This review is long overdue. What can I say, other than Nil is the best trainer my furbaby and I ever worked with. Her passion and extensive knowledge on dog behavior really excudes in her positive training and love of animals. Shes willing to form a bond with you and your furbaby because Nil is genuinely invested in your success. I not only met a fabulous trainer I met a new friend.Love forever Holly Berry & Miriam

Hubby & I took our 4 year old English Bulldog, Duncan, to the Beginner Manners class with Nil. What a terrific experience! We still work with him on the many manners that he learned. The classes are wonderful for both the pawrents & the pupper. We highly recommend K9 Connections & hope one day to return for more learning.

Best dog training experience! I have been going to take classes for the past 6 years! I love that they offer beyond behavioral training classes: Doggie Ninja, Scent class, Doggie Game Show, etc. Always positive reinforcement and trainers adapt all activities to your dog’s abilities and age. You will have a better relationship with your dog after a class at K9 Connection!!!!

Absolutely highly recommend the K9Konnection! My dog Ziggy enjoyed quite a few training classes, doggy games, dog walking class and even became doggy Olympics games champion! Great place to learn how to train your dog and bonding with your furry friend and make new friends. Nil and her team are very friendly, knowledgeable, experienced and supportive.

We have taken multiple training classes at K9Konnection with Nil and her staff. We learned so much, and had a great time! Nil is very knowledgeable, and has a special way with everyone’s dogs. Our dog, Albus, loves her (we do too.). We highly recommend her courses, and we plan to continue taking classes with her.

Nil and the staff at K9Konnection are experienced, knowledgeable, and very helpful. We are thrilled that Bessie and us found the right dog training and behavioral service to help us. Well be back when the time is right. Bessie and us still have more to learn, but we know one thing for sure- K9Konnection is a great match for us and anyone looking for expert help and guidance.

Nil is very patient with my two senior dogs when we take her classes. She modifies the goals for my dogs abilities. My dogs look forward to taking classes at K9Konnection.

Nil and her team are doing a terrific job helping me to train my 4 month old puppy. Each week is different training lesson with easy to understand direction and explanation. Questions are always welcome. And, Classes are fun for everyone.This is the second pup I’ve brought here for training. My first Pup is now 3 and is doing great thanks to the training sessions.If you are considering puppy or dog training give Nil a call.

I’ve had nothing but a wonderful experience at the K9Konnection, thanks to Nil! I took my 4 month old czech shepherd to another dog trainer, who told me my puppy would be “fear aggressive” and used force within the first encounter of training. As a new shepherd owner, I was terrified for the future of my dog. I found the K9Konnection via Google and gave Nil a call. Before I signed up for the beginners puppy class, Nil took the time to meet with my pup and I to assess my pup’s personality/temperament in order to find the best possible solution to correct my pup’s behavior. I enrolled my pup in the AKC star puppy class per Nil’s recommendation, and have noticed so many positive changes in my dog’s behavior. My pup has graduated the AKC star puppy class, and I am forever thankful to Nil as she has instilled a new level of confidence, not only in my puppy but myself as a shepherd owner. I would recommend Nil at the K9Konnection to anyone struggling to correct their dog’s behavior as she is patient, flexible and understanding no matter the breed or age of dog.

Where do I even begin? From the moment I contacted Nil, her genuine passion for helping dogs and their owners was evident. Not only is Nil incredibly knowledgeable about canine behavior and training techniques, but she also has a true gift for understanding and connecting with every fur baby that comes her way. We have attended several trainings (as well as private sessions) at the K9Konnection and even received the K9 Good Citizen Certification. Throughout each training process Nil consistently demonstrated patience and empathy towards both me and my beloved pup. Nils positive reinforcement methods never left room for frustration or confusion, creating a safe and nurturing environment for learning.If you are seeking a dog trainer who not only possesses expert knowledge and skills, but also has an undeniable passion for making a positive difference in the lives of both dogs and their owners, look no further than the K9Konnection! I cannot recommend Nil and her staff enough! Whenever someone I know gets a new dog or is thinking about enrolling their dog in training I always tell them about the K9Konnection. Callie and I will forever be grateful to you, Nil. Thank you for all that you do. You are truly one in a million!

My pup Maverick completed Beginner and Intermediate Manners as well as “Walk With Me” training at K9K. He absolutely loved being there and looked forward to seeing his friend Nil each week (she has the best treatos!). We appreciated how the group classes were small enough to ensure individual attention was given to each student. I also hired Nil for in-home training to help with my pup’s separation anxiety when I returned to the office post-pandemic. It has been a huge weight off my shoulders to know I can leave the house without worrying about incessant barking. As a first time dog mom, I appreciated the experience, compassion, patience, and force free approach to training employed by Nil and her team. Don’t think twice about signing up for training with K9K!

Nil is amazing all around as a person and as a canine trainer. Her expertise and professionalism surpasses anyone in the industry. Her compassion for her clients is absolutely wonderful. My family knows that we can always count on Nil to be there for our needs. We always highly recommend her and are grateful that she has been working with us for 10 years now with our dogs. We look forward to many more years of having Nil in our lives.

Nil and the trainers at k9 Konnection are awesome. We had recently adopted a 1-2 year old 100 pound dogo argentino (Argentinian Mastiff) that had been a stray for 3 months, and then in a shelter for 3 months. He appeared to have very little formal training, though hes a very smart dog. He also can be dog reactive.He completed the first two training courses at K9 Konnection and did great. Nil was able manage the classes easily and every dog appeared to get the attention it needed. Our big, untrained mastiff had no issues with the other dogs and all of the trainers appeared to be comfortable with dogs young and old, small and extra large breeds like ours.After we completed training we consulted Nil on issues we were having at home related to separation anxiety and overprotectedness of the house when strangers came over. Nil did an awesome job explaining our options including muzzle raining and gave us several recommendations for veterinarians who are behavioral specialists for consideration for medication for anxiety.The people at K9 Konnection are an awesome resource and I totally recommend them to anyone with a dog that could benefit from additional training.

Ive taken my pup to several of the classes offered by Nil and Cassidy and its been super fun every time. Nil and all the trainers here care SO MUCH about the dogs and honestly, it speaks for itself -- my dog is NUTS about everyone here. Shes come very far in the past couple of years in terms of her behavior, so its been an absolute joy.

We are thrilled about how our training session went. Nil is such an incredible trainer— so knowledgeable and kind. She listened to our concerns and addressed every single one with clear instructions on how to work on them. Our dog had a great time while cleaning up his manners.Cannot recommend Nil enough!

TheK9Konnection and Nil saved my dog! I rescued a 6 month old Blue Heeler with major behavioral issues (biting, jumping, you name it). His behavior was so overwhelming I feared Id have to surrender him, until we had our first meeting with Nil. Six months and a couple of K9Konnection classes later hes become an calmer, confident, and all-around amazing 4-legged companion. Thanks TheK9Konnection

We adopted two dogs a year apart and have taken them both to a few different classes and we LOVE K9 Konnection. They are positive training only. We’ve learned so much and have actually seen the behavior changes in our dogs after working with them! We highly recommend their training classes!

We have been going to the k9Konnection since my one shepherd was 9 weeks old. We started with AKC star puppy and went all the way up to canine good citizen training with her. We were so impressed we enrolled our second shepherd! I would highly recommend the K9Konnection for all your training needs!

I’m so glad I took my puppy Sadie to K9Konnection. We took the Puppy Star class with Nil and Beginner Manners with Cassidy. Both were excellent trainers and we learned a lot! Sadie and I are very grateful for such an awesome experience!

Nil is absolutely amazing at identifying problematic behaviors with our pups and explaining what we can do to improve those areas. Our puppies behavior has seen a complete 180 for the better based on her advices. We highly recommend her and The K9Konnection.

Never actually did training because we went behaviorlaist route instead but Nil did an EXTREMELY thorough almost hour long phone consult for free. As a veterinary professional I can attest to Nil being knowledgeable and competent.

We had a wonderful experience and learned a lot in the Beginner Manners Class. Lindsey was wonderful with our puppy and was always open to answer specific questions on how to help with undesirable behavior. Would definitely recommend!

What can I say about k-9 connection. They are truly wonderful whether you are looking for dog classes or for day camp these people are where you want your dogs. They care so much about my dogs its unbelievable and they are just good people. Nil the owner is such a loving kind person. If you are looking for dog classes or doggie camp stop looking you found the perfect home for them to come visit to. Your dogs will become family here! thank you always k-9 connection Nil & Julianne your fantastic

We highly recommend K9Konnection! We have learned so much from Nil through class and truly trust Julianne and her team for day care. Through the pandemic they implemented policies to make everyone feel safe and theyve always had great communication. Our dog is always excited to go and happily wiped out when he comes home from a full day with his friends.

All the trainers that we worked with took the time to get to know all the dogs from the first class. Each bond the trainers made with dogs and humans help everyone reach a level of success in every class.

Weve taken both our dogs to Nil and the crew at K9Konnection for obedience training, scent games and one one one evaluations and our experiences have been great in every way.

My dog enjoyed the Beginner Manners class. She was easily distracted by other dogs and accommodations were made for her and she was quite successful! At some point Id like to bring her back for Intermediate Manners or the games/classes.

Unfortunately this place did not click with me. The girl doing the instruction was soft spoken and a lot of times I didnt know what she was asking. The training just wasnt for me or my dog. I had already been to another training facility which was really good and thought I would give this place a try because it was closer but just want for me. Driving further back to the original place I started taking obedience. Also the place first time you are looking is very difficult to find.

Training with NIl has provided me with insight into my dogs behavior that others have not been attuned to. Strongly recommend.

Amazing space. Nil is absolutely attentive and intuitive about our strengths, weaknesses, and needs as new dog owners. She is also spot on assessing our doggie.

What fun for me and my girl!! Nil is fantastic patient and knowledgable offering on point suggestions for K9 connection!

Ive been to multiple classes at K9K. The instructors are very competent and are focused on effective training that is FUN!

Great training! A little hard to find, but once we were there, the trainer was smart and attentive. 🐕🙂

Both my dogs and I enjoyed this wonderful learning experience and are looking forward to regular classes.

Absolutely amazing trainer! We highly recommend coming here to train your dog!!!

Nil was wonderful and patient with us and our adolescent Labrador. I trust her force free method of training and recommend visiting K9 Konnection. We cant wait to try our more of their class offerings!

The puppy training classes by Nil at K9Konnection have exceeded my expectations. The classes are fun, the training facility is large, and Nil is an excellent instructor. My puppy is on his second set of classes and hes learning so much and Im seeing great results!

I highly recommend taking classes at K9Konnection! Nil and the trainers there are absolutely amazing. I have attended the beginner manners class with Cassidy as well as the walk with me class with Nil. I have seen a major improvement in his behavior and obedience. I had an amazing experience and will be returning for future classes!

The K9Konnection is an outstanding place to take your dog for training. Nil is a true dog whisperer! She is a pleasure to work with. Our Golden Retriever benefitted greatly from Nils classes, as did we!

The owner was really nice, however the training was just not cutting it for our puppy.

Very caring & knowledgeable staff! We learned a lot in class. Enjoyed the classes & would recommend.

Having a great time doing Puppy Olympics🐶♥️🐶
