We Are a local Rescue and we recently took on an adult male Doberman, who was going to be euthanized if we weren’t able to help him. we knew it was going to be a challenge, but we were totally up for it. We reached out to Myles and his team and they immediately were on board to help us. We enrolled him in a Board and train program. Mojito went in with very minimal manners, He’s a very large boy and was very very strong. He graduated to a well rounded sweet boy with wonderful manners!! His foster mom continues to work with Myles on his training and he’s done so well, so much so that she’s decided she wanted to adopt him and make him part of her pack, we are thrilled ♥️ thank you to Myles and his team for helping us get our good boy on track to be the dog we knew he could be. We couldn’t have done it without them!

With the help from Hamburg Mutts for Freedom, we rescued Frankie from a deplorable home and circumstances. He was afraid and completely submissive. Until he started playing more aggressive and possessive of foodWe were starting to get concerned. Then i was aggressively was bitten with a huge concern that he wouldn’t let go. I was terrified of my dog!Fortunately Hamburg Mutts connected us with Myles and K9 vision. Frankie spent 2 weeks with Myles for behavioral assessment and training. Some training For my husband and I as well.With Myles help and training for all of us, we have a more confidence as dog owners and a very happy dog and a safe home!Thank you Myles!

We had a terrific experience with K-9 Vision. Our trainer Courtney was flexible with scheduling, responsive to our questions, patient with our puppy, and put in the extra effort to gear our individual sessions around our training goals. She was great with the dog, but even more, she taught us how to supplement the training in between sessions and into the future. I would highly recommend K-9 Vision and Courtney specifically to family, friends, and anyone seeking reliable and effective dog training.

I have a 1.5 year old golden-doodle named Auggie who is quite a handful. He struggles with reactivity, focus, and fixation issues. These issues make daily life with him very difficult. Since working with Myles hes improved so much in just the 2 sessions weve had! We are so grateful for Myles and the k9 Vision teams help with Auggie and cant wait to continue training!

Working with K9 Vision was everything we hoped it would be for our pup Bruce. Our trainer Courtney was attentive, kind, and worked hard to understand Bruce and his quirks to give us the tools to improve his and our life together. Prior to training, Bruce was a nervous wreck about anything outside our day to day lives. After training, he trusts us much more and knows we will keep him safe at all times + learned to have fun in new adventures. Also, a big goal of ours was working on boundaries and correcting him in hard to correct situations. Courtney was creative in addressing these and helped us fix concerns, such as excessive whining, almost immediately. We are so happy with our training we received and would recommend them to anyone!

Myles & the K9 team are by far the best. I have never left my dog with anyone while I travel, I needed someone I could trust and I found that comfort with him. We tour the facility before scheduled drop off. It was clean and other dogs were very well behaved. I knew I could leave my dog in there hands. Now every time I travel there no one I’d rather leave my doggyson with than Myles.

We were referred to Myles and K9Vision through a friend and could not be more pleased.We had a new month old golden retriever who was testing our limits! Being new dog owners we knew little about how to properly train a puppy. After having our initial assessment with Myles and Courtney we had some at home training sessions and 2 months later we have a totally different dog. He still has his puppy energy and moments no doubt, but he is very obedient and great in public.If you’re struggling with training your dog we would 100% recommend Myles and K9vision! If you’re willing to put in the work you will be very thankful.

We sent our puppy to K9 Vision for a 3-week board and train program. We had only sort of taught him sit and stay and were having trouble on our own and didn’t know how to use training implements (clickers, prong collar, slip lead etc). We did consultations with a few places but by the end of our consultation with Myles and Courtney we knew this was the program we would choose! We dropped him off a couple days later and didn’t have a single worry! They kept us updated and include both a progress lesson AND a take home lesson where they bring him home at the end to help you learn how to keep his training up at your house which was so helpful. Our puppy is perfect on walks now, does extremely well meetings new people and dogs, and responds really well to behavior corrections. We are SO happy with this investment and would highly recommend this to others!!! Rest assured we will keep working with them.

Myles has done wonders with our new Doberman puppy, Reina. She absolutely loves going to “puppy school.” She has learned so much in a very short time. I would highly recommend K9Vision and Myles!!

We thought we had a good dog that was just going through the puppy/young adult phase of being restless and rambunctious. Our 1.5 year old German Shepherd was very impulsive, easily overstimulated and quite reactive (He came from a working line). Following a poor interaction with one of his owners he began expressing some dominance/aggressive behaviors - which led to a bite that didnt break skin and ultimately changed the home dynamic to the point where dog and owner could not co-exist due to the loss of trust on both ends of the relationship.A 6 week board and was recommended and we scheduled a dropoff date. Myles and Courtney encouraged us that they were confident the relationship was salvageable. They pointed out not only what our GSD needed to work on, but more importantly what WE needed to work on - as there were also things we were doing that were further reinforcing these negative behaviors.Today marks Day 11 of having our GSD home and we have had zero issues. Doggo has been reunited with his owner and they are back to being best buds but with a new respect for one another. Myles and Courtney were very responsive through the process, we had multiple visits during the 6 weeks and a house visit on the last day where our dog was dropped off and we went over a few last details. We have seen significant changes in the areas we sent him for and have made sure to continue to reinforce everything weve learned and it has made for a very easy transition back into our home.I would most definitely recommend these services. Thank You!

Miles, Gabby, and the K9 Vision team worked together with me, my boyfriend, and our dog Ice with dog reactivity, leash training, and socialization. They are extremely knowledgeable about all things related to dog behavior. They have many great resources and types of training available and are helpful in deciding what is best for your dog. Before taking our dog to K9 Vision we could barely walk Ice on a leash and he could not safely be around other dogs. With continued support and training from K9 Vision Ice walks great on leash and is able to play nicely with other dogs. I HIGHLY recommend K9 Vision to all dog owners because of their ability to create a specialized plan that works with families and dogs specific needs.

When it came to the treatment of my dog I was not disappointed. However I did have issues with appointment times.We showed up for an evaluation for our dog and there was no one there. We ended up leaving and a few hours later we were contacted to come back for the evaluation.Then when it came time to pick up the dog after his stay we showed up at the agreed time and again no one was there. I again got a call about 2 hours later to come pick up my dog.The staff is friendly and knowledgeable but the communication needs a lot of work.

I don’t think that there are words to describe how amazing the staff is here. Before we can to the DLC our dog was extremely reactive, we were not able to take her out of the house without a muzzle and we were starting to get nervous when she was near our other dog. After just 3 short weeks at the facility our dog has come home as an amazing and well mannered. There is still so much work to do and I know that the staff will be with us every step of the way. I would recommend this wonderful facility to all of our friends and family. We are so grateful to them for the amazing life changing work that they do for all dogs!!

I dont even know where to begin when it comes to how much I trust Myles and his team taking care of my dog Gemma. I know most people are aware of what our family has been through at another facility, so for me to leave my girl with them has to tell you how responsible & great my family thinks K9 Vision is. I started working with K9 Vision about 9 months ago after Gemma picked up some bad behaviors going to a typical doggy daycare. Nothing that the daycare did wrong. Gemma just needed a more structured environment then the typical doggy daycare can provide. She was becoming completely out of control. Gemma thought she was the boss and could do as she pleased. She was also becoming very possessive of some people and toys. Gemma was starting to be aggressive toward other dogs at daycare and I didnt trust her there due to that. I didnt want her to hurt another dog. Thats where I turned to Myles and his team for help. We have done private lessons along with the day school program that is offered. Not your typical doggy daycare. The dogs get actual training along with time to just be a dog. Gemma has become a different dog with her training at K9 Vision. Myles and his team not only care about the well being of your dog but they also care about the family as a whole. If you are looking for a friendly, responsible and trust worthy place to leave your dog then K9 Vision is the place to go. When most people hear the words trust the process they think of the Buffalo Bills. When I hear trust the process I think of Myles and his team!!!!

It’s truly amazing what Myles and his team can do! We gave them a pup that wouldn’t listen and stuck in a cycle of overgrown puppy behaviors that we could not get a handle on and we got back a well mannered dog with boundaries and respect! They not only taught him but they taught us too setting us up for a lifetime of success! I couldn’t believe it when he first came home and knew how to chill out! Their help has made not just Gilmore’s life more enjoyable, but our life with Gilmore more enjoyable! Thank you so much K9 vision team!!!

K9 Vision Inc. is phenomenal! We brought our 1 and a half year old Westie, Ivy, to see Myles and Courtney and we couldn’t be happier. We are first time dog owners, and needed help undoing some bad habits we had gotten into as dog parents, which made Ivy anxious and not a great listener. We sent her for the two week board and train at the DLC and Ivy came back a totally different dog for the better! She is now much calmer, listens very well, and still learning so much! More importantly, we have learned how to understand Ivy, and be better dog parents. We would, and have recommended their services to anyone! Thank you so much for everything!!!

We got a German Shepherd puppy in May. He went to a few different puppy places and developed some bad behavior. We brought him here and he has become the loveable dream puppy that we always wanted thanks to his trainers and we have also been trained. Miles is awesome!

Can’t say enough amazing things about Myles and all the staff at the DLC! Lola is so well behaved and they had everything to do with it. All of our friends who come over love playing with her and she loves showing off all of her good behavior and they love that she doesn’t jump all over them! Recommend to everyone I know!

We love K9 Vision and all of the services they provide (training, boarding, dog daycare). We rescued a larger pit mix in 2021 that had had a history of abuse and was reactive to both people and other dogs. He pulled excessively on walks and we dreaded taking him outside. Now walks are easy and he is able to stay off leash in the house when guests come over. He is even calm and friendly with our newborn. We cannot recommend K9 Visions enough for the great work they do. Thank you Miles and Courtney for loving and caring for our Simba!

Before the first lesson, my dog Zoe was not focused on me and was more excited by everything around her. In the first lesson, I was taught how I should train my dog to be more focused on me. By the end of the first lesson, I learned what to look for when Im training her for walks and when to reward her. By the end, I had the knowledge to do this one exercise and Zoe was definitely understanding the more and more we did it. Ive scheduled more appointments for the future. K9 visions are very knowledgeable and I would definitely recommend them to anyone asking for dog training help.

Excellent dog training! My pup got expelled from his previous daycare and K9 Vision was able to turn his behavior around.

Before going to K9 Vision, Ripley was reactive to other dogs, a bit nervous of novel situations, and challenging to walk on the leash. After private family lessons and Ripley attending day school regularly, we learned a lot about our pup and about ourselves as dog parents. We learned to look at our role and consistency in helping her learn. She now enjoys new adventures, meeting other dogs, and does great with leash walking. We highly recommend K9 Vision for expert training and day school. Ripley loves her school days!

I cant say enough positive things about Myles and his team at K9 Vision DLC. The difference in our dogs behavior is night and day! Not only did we complete the training, but our dog continues to go to school once a week for reinforcement and socialization. He loves his time at DLC and is always so excited when we get there. Thank you Myles and team for your continued instruction, dedication, and passion for our fur babies❤️

Myles is the dude. When I work with people in different services and fields, I always look for that person who can take a complicated thought or idea, and make an analogy that really breaks it down in layman’s terms. That’s Myles. He knows how to help us humans understand what is going on with your dogs thoughts and behaviors. Myles will crack you up with those analogies too.We did a three week board and train and are so glad we did. Our obnoxious, demanding, big-dog-thinking-he-was-still-a-little-puppy, is now a total gentleman. I know it might be difficult to come up with the cash, but Myles offered us a payment plan and worked with us. In the end, it was totally worth it.I also noticed that Myles spends a lot of time working with rescue organizations like Hamburg Mutts for Freedom. Training difficult dogs that wouldn’t be suitable for adoption otherwise. That’s what I like to see. Professionals who give back.
