⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve had a great experience with KPro K9 and Guy! My goal was to have my dog feel more confident and less reactive in new environments, and Guy was able to help equip me with the knowledge and skills to help train my dog. The progress we’ve seen with my pup is outstanding! More sessions to come, and awesome job Guy! - Rebecca A., Jacksonville, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We are so pleased that we sent our pittie, Sassy, to boot camp with Sam.
It’s now a joy to walk her on leash without her pulling me, to have her go into her kennel on command, and to see her enjoying being a good girl and having a great time training.
Sam is very knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. And most importantly, Sassy adores her! I highly recommend Samantha to anyone seeking training for their dog. - Lori K., Woodbine, Ga
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Steph is great! After our sessions, our dog stopped pulling, jumping, and barking all the time and has greatly improved recall. She is now a delight in public spaces. - Jessica H., Slidell, La
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We were having a lot of issues with our older dog adapting to our new dogs and fights were breaking out. We were unsure of what to do so we contacted KPro K9. Jen and Steph both came out and helped us work on behavioral issues and pack training. We had such a great experience that we even extended our training for one of the dogs with Jen. She helped us work on making our dog more confident when we went out into the community and worked on making him less aggressive toward our other dogs. Now they all live in harmony and I don't have to worry about any of the getting hurt. I would recommend them for all types of training. - Breanna S., Biloxi, Ms
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Highly recommend! We got Gino as our dog trainer and he saved our lives! My adult dog struggled with our move to another home and he was very destructive and had never been in a kennel and we struggled trying to train by ourself. We called kpro k9 and Gino has my boy going into the kennel! We also learned some leash walking techniques. This has been such a life saver for our family and I would recommend kpro to anyone and everyone! 100 stars ! - Erica M., Jacksonville, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Steph trained my Pomeranian moose he actually has basic obedience skills! She did such a wonderful job and she is super sweet! - Madison C., Ocean Springs, Ms
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cassie, our KPro K9 trainer, has been a pleasure to work with. She has been very considerate in accommodating sessions of various lengths, especially during the hot, summer days. Her skills with dogs are clearly evidenced by how she managed to help my little Wheaton Terrier become more receptive to commands, with much less fear of other dogs, and generally just less of a Wheaton Terror. Cassie's training, of both myself as a dog owner, and my dog, will undoubtedly improve the quality of life for us both and for that I am very thankful. I can't recommend Cassie and KPro K9 enough! - Nick M., Fernandina Beach, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a great experience with KPro K9! Their team of employees work together seamlessly to provide excellent service at every step. Steph is an awesome person and dog trainer. She understands the psychology behind dog training and the human aspect of it, too. This was very beneficial in creating a successful training experience for both our dog and us. We definitely recommend Steph and KPro K9 for all of your dog training needs. - Donna B., Picayune, Ms
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Beau is our wonderful rescue, who we've had for about three months now. We started training with Ryan to make sure Beau felt comfortable in our house and had good manners. Ryan's patient and tailored approach helped Beau adapt to our day to day life. But what we value even more is the consistent means of communication that Ryan has helped us establish with Beau. We wanted to ensure that we weren't confusing Beau by sending mixed signals. If we wanted Beau to be a good dog, we knew we should be good owners. Ryan's guidance has been invaluable in achieving this. Beau is now not just obedient but also a charming, well-adjusted member of our family. Thanks to Ryan, he genuinely feels at home with us, which is a testament to the bond and trust he helped us build with Beau. We feel incredibly fortunate to have Beau in our lives, and we owe much of his successful integration into our family to Ryan's expertise and dedication. We highly recommend Ryan to anyone seeking professional dog training services. Our journey with Beau has been an incredible one, and Ryan played a pivotal role in making it so. Thank you, Ryan! - Clark & Drenda, Jacksonville, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ryan was amazing with our dog Butter! Butter learned so much which we have continued at home with him! Thank you! -Allison L., Fernandina Beach, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ryan Gilbert had a real challenge with Bogey, a rescue with extreme anxiety and fear agression issues. He gave us the tools to work with our dog and during our course of one to one classes, Bogey is coming out of his shell. I cannot say enough about the training we have received as it has been most beneficial. Bogey is a Spanish Water Dog that we rescued at one year old. Thankyou Ryan and KPro K9 - Fernandina Beach, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Luke was with Steph for Service Dog training and it was an amazing an experience for myself and my dog Luke. I was kept updated on Luke’s progress frequently and they answered any questions I had. He was well taken care of by Steph and came back as an incredible service dog ready to work! The amount of positive change I saw in him was amazing. I couldn’t recommend KPro K9 enough to those looking to get their dog into training!! - Mattie. M, Gulfport, Ms
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I engaged KPro K9's after seeing how well behaved my neighbor's German Shepard puppy now dog was after working with the team at KPro K9 for my Golden Retriever Puppy. We were matched with Ryan. Ryan has been wonderful to work with and met us where we needed to be. I have hired a trainer for each of my goldens over the years. It helps ensure training is done. Our goal with our puppy is to be able to take her ANYWHERE and have her welcomed as a well behaved guest.
With dogs being welcomed in so many places in Fernandina, this will make her life so much fuller. We have been fortunate to also participate in their Dock diving and meet the other trainers and clients. We are moving on to do Intermediate training only to be able to get our Puppy to an advanced level. Our last class was on a Saturday morning and we successfully walked without a problem through the downtown and the Farmers Market.
If this is what you are seeking to have for a life with your dog, KPro K9 is worth the investment in your family member. Think of the value spread-out over 13 years. Ryan is amazing and now not just a trainer but a family friend. - James B., Fernandina Beach, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We have loved working with our trainer Cassie. I can’t believe how much improvement we’ve seen in our dog’s behavior in just a few short weeks. - Kim G., Fernandina Beach, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a wonderful experience with Cassie from KProK9! She gave us exactly the tools we needed to shape the behavior of our two pups and enhance their recall! She was able to give us strategies to fit our unique situation (being on a horse farm) and was able to pinpoint our problems and start working to fix them right away. She was always willing to trouble shoot via text in between sessions, and she came up with unique situations to test our progress. She was very willing to involve our 9 year old in the training process, and he even taught our dogs a few bonus tricks under her guidance! Several other trainers from KProK9 were also helpful by dropping by to test our new behaviors in real world situations, and we have been nothing but impressed with the whole team! - Krista J., Yulee, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Luke went to Jen for the 3 week board and train program, and had an AMAZING transformation. He went from stubborn and anxious to well trained and confident. Jen did an incredible job with him and was so great to work with. She took great care of him and sent me updates on him and his training frequently. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a board and train program. - Mattie M., Biloxi, Ms
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My husband and I highly recommends Guy Smith of KPro K9 in Jacksonville, Fl. Guy is so professional and has had excellent communication from day one! Guy has changed my dog's life and mine in so many ways! I am so grateful! After using other training companies with barely any results, I signed my 1 1/2 year old rottie up for the 2 week boot camp training course, and my dog came back a totally different dog. She was a lot calmer and responded positively to commands, constantly looking at Guy for more direction. You can truly tell that Guy loves what he does and my dog loves interacting him. He is so patient when working with my husband and I as well as he is good with my dog. We also use his boarding and training services whenever we have to go out of town. Guy will forever be our go to trainer and boarder! He's part of our family now! :) Thank you so much Mr. Guy Smith! - Marina I., Jacksonville, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wow. I have nothing but the best things to say. We had a very challenging hound dog that desperately needed extra assistance. He was destructive of our home and only followed commands on his terms. After our dog began working with Guy, we saw immediate results. We had such a good experience with Guy that we actually set up visits for our other dog. Now we have two well behaved hound dogs that we can take anywhere and we know exactly how they are going to act. We are so grateful for what Guy has provided our family and we cannot thank him enough for his services! Would recommend to anyone and everyone searching for a trainer! - Kalina R., Jacksonville, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We chose KPro after they were highly recommended by local friends. We got our puppy at 8 weeks and since I had never raised a puppy, I was a little apprehensive about the work I needed to do to raise a happy, well mannered dog. We decided on the 8 week training package and Ryan called me right away to schedule our first session. Ryan was extremely knowledgeable , professional and fun to work with. Our pup Charlie took to Ryan, our trainer, right away. We did 4 in home sessions where Charlie learned verbal commands and non-verbal cues. Then the next 4 sessions were in public settings, where Charlie learned to put those skills into action. Charlie has completed his training and is now a more confident, well mannered pup! I am more confident as well! I highly recommend KPro and Ryan! - Nicole A., Fernandina Beach, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have had dogs my entire life and never had a problem with the Pekingese breed that I have always had. My family decided to get a golden doodle puppy due to allergies of our youngest daughter and it was a definite game changer for us. Our dog Pepper, a golden doodle was hyper, couldn’t walk on a leash without tugging and biting the leash and barking at every person and animal that walked by. It was frustrating for my family and we were at our wits end. I contacted K9 Pro and Ryan was assigned as our trainer. Ryan is amazing. With Ryan’s training, Pepper can now walk in Lowe’s, TJ max and downtown Fernandina without barking, jumping on people and he can obey basic, sit, lay down and free commands with ease. Thank you Ryan so much for helping my family and especially Pepper to be a welcome and loved addition to our family! - Marcia L., Fernandina Beach, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I am in agreement to assign 10 stars, if Google allowed, to Nate Hatch at KPro K9 Dog Training. My experience has been very successful and rewarding for both Dog and Human.
While I have had dogs all my life who were well behaved and easy to train, I struggled with my newest, a Golden Doodle. I had heard about the excitement level with this breed, which proved true. I tried Puppy Training with another private trainer and also with a Big Box Pet Store. My pup was distracted and the training I had was not working for her. I feel I waited too long and the jumping an excitement upon greeting Humans and other Dogs did not diminish with her maturity. The Manager at our local PetSmart in Fernandina raved about Nate and Cassie, the local Trainers so I gave them a call.
The response level was immediate and explained everything thoroughly. Beginning with a very professional on site Evaluation to assess her we decided to start my girl with Level 1 which was just fine with me, especially since the training was not the typical walk around the block or in your home. We got out and about in the second session which was exactly what we needed to quell the Meet and Greet. Nate met us at Central Park, Downtown, Main Beach, Pet Smart, Second Chance and anywhere to help get the excitement and jumping down. While it is still a very strong urge for her to do the back leg "Poodle Dance", I am so impressed with the progress Nate has made with her and me to behave and greet while sitting.
Watching Nate, you can tell he knows Dogs, their triggers and how to change; he just gets them. His handling skills are seamless; he has been so patient with me, with all my questions and hesitations; he gave me the confidence I needed to take her out on my own to practice and not let her take control and understand how to quiet the excitement level.
Hope that you find this review helpful in your search for the best dog trainer in the Fernandina local area. Their pricing is worth the Professional Training you will receive. - Suzanne B., Fernandina Beach, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Training with Ryan has been such a game changer for me and my dog Maui. Before we started training with Ryan, my dog was so nervous that going on a simple walk around the neighborhood was virtually impossible. Now that we’ve been having weekly sessions, Maui has been quickly gaining confidence and goes on walks around the neighborhood every day! He even goes out to busy places like the beach and coffee shops with me and is able to feel confident enough to relax and I am able to feel confident in our training that he knows his manners! It’s made my bond with Maui much stronger as well. Thank you Ryan! - Abby P., Fernandina Beach Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Highly recommend KPro K9! Jenn did an amazing job with Delta. Extremely knowledgeable and was helpful with any question or concerns I had! - Kyle F., Gulfport, Ms
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We found KPro K9 at exactly the right time. Our pup had just been attacked by another dog and we were trying to find the right program to help her and us navigate her behavior afterwards. Cassie with K9 showed up and changed our lives! From the first day we met, she was so encouraging and energetic and she talked us through the whole process and explained everything we could expect. Having now finished our first program with her, I can truly say every single thing we asked for help with, we received and then some! Our pup now follows every command she's told. While she's still a puppy with a lot of energy, Cassie taught us how to use that in her favor to enable her to get the most out of each training session and she's thriving now. I can't recommend this program enough. The trainers are truly there for you through it all and offer so much assistance and knowledge and Im so grateful for finding them! - Vanessa R., Fernandina Beach, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Steph is hands down the best trainer I have ever seen. She has trained me (yes, me) AND my spunky shelter saved pup. This woman has went to the ends of the globe for us. My pup is now an official service dog thanks to Steph and Evan at KProK9! She is tasked with multiple things to help me in my day to day life. Words will never express my gratitude for the work, time, and effort this woman put into training us. She is extremely knowledgeable about how to feed, walk, talk, and anything else with your dog. She is not just a dog trainer, she’s an educator as well. She didn’t just change my life, she has make my life worth living with the time she spent working with us. Thank you for EVERYTHING! - Jack S., Gulfport, Ms
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
KPro K9 exceeded our expectations. We have three dogs: two smaller dogs and a larger younger dog. We were having issues walking all three and the larger dog did not react well to other dogs. We had tried other training without much success. We tried KPro K9 while in Fernandina for 6 weeks. Ryan was assigned as our trainer, and he was excellent at showing us how to work with all three dogs. Our dogs responded to Ryan from the first session. Ryan went above and beyond by bringing different dogs to each session to work on dog interactions. He also brought other KPro K9 trainers (Gino & Cassie) and their dogs to work with us. Ryan worked within our compressed schedule and gave us the tools to continue to work with our dogs; he also built our confidence, as well as the dog’s confidence. Overall, our progress was amazing, and we have the tools to continue to work with our dogs going forward. We highly recommend KPro K9. - Brian B., Fernandina Beach, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
KPro K9 and our trainer Jenn are amazing! I was very skeptical of the results we would get with our 5 year old lab/pit mixed, Lebowski. He has had his way and the run of the neighborhood for 5 years. I was terrified he would get run over chasing squirrels. You know the saying, “can’t teach an old dog new tricks”. Well, Jenn taught this old dog new tricks and more. She taught us! Most important to me was recall/coming when called. It was a success! I can now let Lebowski spend time in the yard with out fear of him running off chasing after squirrels or rabbits! I’m able to take him places / stores now because he is well behaved on the leash and doesn’t let activities around him distract him. I’m so very grateful for Jenn and KPro K9!! - Jill B., Vancleave, Ms
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After struggling for months with training our newly adopted 1-year-old dog on our own, we recognized that we needed some assistance. That's when we turned to KPro K9 for help. We had the privilege of working with Gino, who is THE definition of a “dog person”. He has had a truly positive impact on our lives and helped us regain control over our very energetic pup, and we are thrilled to share our experience. From the moment I contacted KPro K9 I could tell that they were a genuine company and their passion really shows. They took the time to understand our concerns and goals. We couldn’t wait for our training sessions to begin. Gino was not only patient with our pup but he also took his time with us as we developed our training skills. Gino has a great understanding of canine behavior, and will help guide and teach you invaluable techniques tailored to your dog's unique needs. His effective and humane training methods, along with ongoing support, have resulted in a remarkable transformation in our dog's behavior. Our pup is now a happier and well-behaved companion, bringing back peace and harmony to our home. We wholeheartedly recommend Gino and KPro K9 to anyone seeking a professional who genuinely cares and possesses exceptional skills in dog training. Thank you, Gino, you are truly the best dog trainer, hands-down! - Stormie A., Jacksonville, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Gino is the best. My dog was uncontrollable and after 2 weeks of board and train she came back a new dog. He is very professional. I would highly recommend Gino. - Shelby S., Jacksonville, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We’ve had both of our young dogs (a lab & a pit) in training with Stephanie through KProK9 since February. She and the program have been absolutely wonderful! She’s taught us as dog owners SO much and we’ve seen such an amazing improvement with our pups. The program has been easy with communication, and it’s clear the trainers care for your dogs and about their jobs. We did not go with the option to board our dogs with Stephanie, but schedule sessions, meeting in various places as we progressed, and having “homework”. Both us and our dogs feel so much more at peace! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! THANK YOU SO MUCH STEPHANIE & KPROK9!!! - Isabella W., Marrero, La
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had a wonderful experience with K9 Pro training my English Bulldog, Winston. I brought Winston to them as a 13 week old, high energy puppy. He came back to me fully potty trained, well behaved and knows nearly all of the commands. As a 5 month old hard headed English Bulldog he can sit, stay, down, and he knows to get in his crate and his bed. I’ve had English Bulldogs for the last 12 years and they aren’t easy to train. Cassie did an unbelievable job. I will be bringing dogs to them for the rest of my life. I HIGHLY recommend you use K9 Pro and Cassie especially!! - Patrick L., Fernandina Beach, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jenn and Steph are awesome trainers that worked in tandem with Maui. They not only trained him but us as well. Answered all our questions and we now feel confident taking him out into town. Thank you both for a job well done! - Scott S., Ocean Springs, Ms
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Frances was amazing with our dog, Uno.
She was patient, knowledgeable, and very flexible with scheduling. There’s definitely a big difference with our dog’s behavior after having the knowledge of how to properly train our dog for basic obedience. Knowledge is one thing, but consistency is KEY to fixing the unwanted behaviors. THANKS FRANCES! I definitely recommend this company 🙌🏽 - Reignne C., El Paso, Tx
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We are repeat customers with KPro K9. After choosing a board and train option for an adult dog, and being very satisfied, we selected a basic Obedience package for our new puppy this time. Steph was the perfect trainer for our needs. She was very accommodating with our extremely fluid schedule. She was knowledgeable and professional, and worked well with all members of our family. She did an amazing job training our puppy and giving us the tools we need to ensure success going forward. We plan to use KPro again for some more advanced training in the future. Highly recommend KPro for all your training needs. Highly recommend Steph, also. She's AWESOME! - Loretta K., Picayune, Ms
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Words cannot express how grateful we are for all that Frances helped us with for our two dogs. It was evident from the very first meeting that she had a wealth of training experience and knowledge, and a love for dogs! Her insight and training techniques were key to helping us put our dogs back together under the same roof. Always responsive, timely, and adaptable to our busy schedules. Zeus & Tank will miss your visits! - Sherilyn B., El Paso, Tx
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I can't say enough good things about Steph and KPro K9 training! She helped us with behavior problems with one of our dogs. She answered all of our questions, tailored the training to address our needs, and gave us tools and knowledge to handle issues that may come up. Through training with Steph we are building a better, more trusting relationship with our dog. Plus he loved training sessions with her (so many treats!). - Kara B., Gulfport, Ms
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After adopting Ella from the Nassau Humane Society I was a little overwhelmed by some of her behaviors and being a strong 50 pound puppy was a little intimidating. From our first session I knew Ella and I were paired with a trainer who cared about my relationship with my dog. Ryan was very professional, knowledgeable, and patient during every session. Ryan not only showed me the tools and commands, he explained why. Ryan suggested mind challenging toys and games to keep Ella engaged and stimulated beyond physical activities. I enjoyed the different surroundings he suggested to help Ella become more socialized while keeping her engaged with me and focused. What a difference walking down a crowded sidewalk when you have the right tools! I would highly recommend Ryan as a trainer. He obviously loves dogs and Ella was always excited to see him every week. Thank you Ryan for helping me create a stronger bond with sweet Ella. I will continue to train and use what we've learned - which has been invaluable! - Pam E., Fernandina Beach, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Gino is truly a God sent! We adopted a rescue pup, well a big boy really, who had obviously not been treated well in his past and had fear of new people that manifested in him lashing out and showing aggression to protect himself. With a 1 year old grandson we were heartbroken thinking we couldn't keep him. We called Kpro K9 and we're connected with Gino & he literally came to our rescue, superhero cape & all! We worked with Gino for several months. Gino not only trained our dog Cash, but he trained us as well. He taught us how to work with him, support him, and allow him to feel more and more comfortable every day. Cash is the sweetest most gentle dog. He now meets new people calmly and without fear. We have friends & family over often and they love our Cash boy (& Biggie, our other pup). He is behaved and listens so well with the help & guidance of Gino. Thank you Gino! The work you do is so special. You bring so much joy to every family you work with & our family is better & happier because of you! The photos are the results of working with Gino. My grandson loves his 4 legged friends & even falls asleep cuddling with Cash 💗 - Kelly G., Jacksonville, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Steph was amazing to work with! She was very knowledgeable with training techniques, explained why and how each skill works, very adaptable with our big boy and our schedule and loved our Jax as much as us! We can't wait to do more training with Kpro, especially with Steph! - Heather W., Pearl River, La
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ryan is the trainer that has been working with our dog from the beginning and he is amazing! Ryan is so patient with our dog when he started his modified basic training and now our dog loves him as he is part of his family. Ryan is super knowledgeable and explains in full details why certain steps is required and which one would benefit the dog and handler. Not once have I felt like I was doing anything wrong in my own learning process in how to properly train our dog. The weekly homework given by Ryan has improved my relationship & understanding with our dog. I loved the outcome of finished modified basic training that I have already booked KPro K9 intermediate training course with Ryan! - Dayana M., Jacksonville, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kpro is amazing! I say this because I had my Rottweiler evaluated by Mr. Evan the master trainer to makesure he was not being aggressive, and Steph Martin is my personal obedience trainer. Steph Martin has done an amazing job training me and my dog so we have a great relationship and I understand behavior. I had a puppy I was trying to train and went about it with outdated tips and thought I would have to rehome him, but to my delight I was causing the problem. I learned how to prevent the problems and Steph Martin helped me with training and I can now take my dog outside on an electronic collar with confidence and control. I love being able to leave the door open and I know my dog is waiting for my command to go out. You want professionalism, great training, behavior correcting and someone there to support you when you need it. You have it all in Steph Martin. I highly suggest giving her a call because it is a great investment or time and money that will enhance you and pets relationship.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Evan is a fantastic person and truly shares his love of dogs with everyone he meets. Evan greets people and dogs with ease. He demonstrates his quick ability to assess the situation, people and animals to provide appropriate feedback, guidance and training. I highly recommend KPRO K9. - Laurie H., Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely recommend KPro K9 and specifically Cassie for any training needs! My rescue pup came with a side of extra crazy and went to sleep-away camp with Cassie. She was always able to explain the "why" of his behavior and give me spot-on tips for addressing issues once he was home. She's checked in on him since our formal training ended and he still gets excited when he sees her. Thanks Cassie! - Stephanie N., Fernandina Beach, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Steph did such a great job helping me balance my pack. She got my 8 month old shepherd puppy under control within weeks and the older three refreshed on basic obedience and pack walks. She helped me identify the “trouble maker” and keyed in on how to modify both his and my behaviors! My pack now functions as a happy, playful, cohesive unit. No more snarking & snapping! I can’t recommend KPro K9 & their staff enough for anyone who wants well behaved pups! - Laura L., Mandeville, La
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nathan was amazing with Apollo, my ten month old black lab. He is a big, strong puppy and I was a bit apprehensive at first. Wasn't even sure if Apollo would relate to anyone other than me. Wow, was I wrong! Nathan was like the dog whisperer. He taught me things in five minutes that I had never heard of. If you want someone who speaks dog, this is it. Really good guy too! - David R., Yulee, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We have had such a great experience with K-Pro K9! Our trainer, Cassie, went above and beyond to help our pups gain the confidence and skills to balance out the husbandry in our household. Cassie truly has a genuine love for animals, and it shows. I highly recommend K-Pro K9 and Cassie!! - Blakeley H., St Marys, Ga
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
KPro K9 has been wonderful to work with! Steph was AMAZING with our dog!!! We are first time pet owners and had so much to learn. She did a great job explaining why our dog behaved certain ways and why the training techniques worked. She was extremely patient with us and worked with our schedules. I highly recommend Steph and the KPro K9 team! Angela W., Biloxi, Ms
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If I could give them 10 stars. I Absolutely would. Nate was phenomenal from day one. He answered every question we had and made sure we understood. You can tell he loves his job and cares for our puppy. The communication from my first call has been excellence, they let me know exactly what to expect, and followed through. Worth every dollar spent. We thought our dog was untrainable. And they proved us wrong! Thank you so much KPROK9! - Aimee S., Fernandina Beach, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Gino is the man! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for training for their pups! You can instantly tell he has passion for the job and he has vast knowledge on everything to help your pup grow. Our puppy was very protective, she pulled hard on the leash, and would bark at everything. After our sessions, she is much more calm, listens more and walks calm on the leash. Cant wait to enroll her in her next training. I am confident in gino’s skills. Overall great guy and trainer! - Omar L., Jacksonville, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I can't say enough good things about this organization. Stef was our trainer, and she was patient, knowledgeable, and had a deep understanding of dog behavior. If there was something she was unsure about, she would do the research and come back with a solution. They are there to support/train the pet parent as much as they are there to train the pet. We have developed such great relationship with our trainer that we will be using their kenneling services soon too, because we know our pup will be in good hands. - Erin W., Gulfport, Ms
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Steph did an excellent job helping me to train our 4 year old Irish Terrier. He had become very difficult to handle after we moved. She worked with my family and I to improve his behavior so we could enjoy his company once again. Steph was really great about being compassionate with our situation, and relieving our stress & worries. I highly recommend her for training to correct any bad behaviors your dog may have. - Ash M., New Orleans, LA
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Highly recommend KPro K9. Cassie with KPro K9 was so professional, she changed my dogs life and mine! Myself, a first time dog owner had no idea the challenges I would be getting into with a new puppy. After using other training companies with some results but not really tailored to what my dog needed and myself, I reached out to KPro and set an appointment with Cassie! We were able to have hands on training where ever we wanted to go, at home or around town. This was a life changer. Cassie was able to see how Marshall (my dog) reacted around strangers and dogs/ and how I reacted. She was able to alter training based on our specific needs and place us in real life situations with successful outcomes! Throughout this training program Cassie was available for questions and concerns and worked on everything with us from chasing chickens, to recall. Before I contacted KPro K9 I was kicked out of Lowe’s when my dog was only 5-6 months old due to his reaction to strangers. I am now able to comfortably go to Lowe’s with no reaction or downtown when a function is happening without a peep! I cannot thank KPro K9 and Cassie enough for teaching me the tools I needed and my dog to be able to have a great relationship, with clear communication. I now can feel comfortable to take my dog anywhere! - Katrina G, St Marys, Ga
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My dog, Iris, came back so well trained - definitely advanced in her basic training, table side manners, and door entry/exiting. My dog is now much more responsive to commands thanks to KPro K9 and Steph’s instructions on proper techniques and trainings. Thank you!! - Jonna F., Mandeville, La
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We went to a breeder and purchased two mini-dachshunds from the same litter. Our plans were to attend public events and travel with our babies. We tired and found it to be very disruptive and thought this was something we couldn’t do. Several months later our home is best described as being in chaos with these two dogs.
Having reached out to KPRO K9 was the best investment we could have done for ourselves and babies. We chose the Elite Complete Package and the in home assessment in itself was educational as we discovered things about ourselves. Shortly thereafter, we discovered we were dealing with a case of litter mate syndrome. A plan was developed and we worked with the trainers to get through it.
Today we have completed our training. The two dogs we started with are completely different today. They are well behaved and obedient. I can’t tell you how many times people have said to us, I wish my dog would do that. We now have the confidence and trust in our babies to go out in public and travel and we have.
Our trainers, Evan Stewart and Steph Martin were incredible. Their experience and knowledge is remarkable and we are forever grateful. - Michael C., Poplarville, Ms
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had been dealing with some behavior issues with our adopted shelter pup that were affecting our quality of life and his for over 7 months. We tried some initial training with another trainer that wound up being unsuccessful to say the least. We reached out and got set up with Nate for a 2 week board and train package and I can honestly say I’ve never been happier with a decision. Our pup can now go on loose leash walks and knows all the proper basic obedience commands. If you are on the fence about training go ahead and book with them; I promise you won’t regret it. I will be using Nate moving forward for more training because he took the time to learn our pup’s behavior and personality and implemented that into his training. You can tell our pup loves Nate too! Thank you all so much and we look forward to continuing the journey!! - James H., Fernandina Beach, Fl

Steph has been one of the best. She is very knowledgeable. She has a passion for training and animals in general and it shows. Working with her and KPro K9 has been an amazing experience. I would trust her with my fur baby until the end of the world. They do not use pain as a part of training. They use love, patience, rewards and it works. I cannot put into words how much I have enjoyed working with her on building a trusting relationship with my rottweiler. He loves her as well. If anyone needs help training their dog/puppy I would not recommend going anywhere else. - Jennifer W., Biloxi, Ms

We have been working with Guy and he is awesome. I can not say enough good things about him and this program. Our puppy, Bailey, was a typical puppy when we first met with Guy. Months later, she is so well behaved - comes when called, stays in place when commanded, etc. It is just wonderful and worth it all! Thank you Guy!! - Melissa B., Jacksonville, Fl

My puppy was completely out of control when it came to play time and would try to bite me when she got tired. She's a super sweet dog and just loves to play but unfortunately with my job and the long hours, she was in her kennel a lot. I had looked into dog training before but didn't like the idea of her going to a basic training course where she was in her kennel a lot. My mom actually found out about this training through another family member and I was sold on it. Snickers did a 2 week board and train and she had the best time. I got updates pretty much every day if not more of how she was doing and what she was learning. It was well worth the money spent because she came home a completely different dog. So much more calm, just wants to lay on the couch with me and chew on her toys. She was even crate trained for sleeping at night (I slept on my couch for a month because she wouldn't calm down in bed with me like she did as a younger puppy) and caught on really quickly to it. This was one of the best things I could've done for her and myself. I recommend this training group to anyone that i know that has a dog that they want trained. If I could rate this higher that a 5 star rating i would. The trainer that my dog worked with also recommended a great place to take her for daycare and boarding/grooming! - Kaitlyn S. El Paso, Tx

We highly recommend KPRO K9 for your dog training needs! We rescued our Catahoula mix from a shelter at about 7 months old. We were able to teach her basic commands(she followed some of the time), but her reactivity to people and other dogs, etc. was out of control. We weren't comfortable taking her for a basic walk for fear of what or who we may meet along the way. We contacted KPRO K9 and were connected with Cassie. She was able to connect with our dog right away and began teaching us how to apply the training techniques to get the behavior we expected from our dog. After a few weeks of seeing improvement, we elected to upgrade to the Complete Elite training package. The training has been worth every penny!! Cassie did a phenomenal job with our dog Brandi! Cassie is so patient, is happy to answer questions anytime and made the process fun for all of us. We put in the work with our dog between our weekly training sessions, applying the techniques Cassie taught us and the results are amazing! Now we are comfortable walking and taking Brandi anywhere. We have been to the pet store several times, eaten at restaurants in Fernandina and even took a road trip to Savannah where we walked around the city and ate a restaurant. We highly recommend Cassie and KPRO K9 training and would do it over again without question. We would not have been able to achieve these results on our own. Thank you Cassie!! - Linda L., Kingsland, Ga

I am a peace officer located just East of El Paso and my dog has been in OB/Narc training with Frances for the past 6 weeks. To say I am satisfied is an understatement, I have a 3 year old Black Lab/Blue Healer named Chief and I brought him to KPro not really confident that he would be up to the job for detection, but boy has he pulled it off with the help of his amazing trainer. He had the basic understanding for obedience but seeing him now after his training I wish I would have done it a long time ago. Watching and working with him and his trainer on detection has really opened my eyes to the level of work it takes especially on a dog that isn’t breed to do this time of work but boy have they pulled it off. The prices are affordable and they do work with you and even offer discounts for vets and public servants. Recommending KPro to other people is an understatement, I look forward to future training and business. - Bobby A., El Paso, Tx

Highly recommend KPRO K9, especially Nate. He is a knowledgeable professional that took a personal interest in our poodle JD. He was caring and considerate in his approach to training and took the time to explain and answer any questions we had along with making sure we understood our homework. JD looked forward to the seeing Nate and missed him when he left. A good relationship was developed and we will continue to use Nate when needed. - Mike W., Amelia Island, Fl

Highly recommend Kpro K9. We did the 2 week beginner training and board with Cassie and she did an amazing job. Not only does she train your dog but she continues to assist and help you train in your home and is always there if you have any questions along the way. Highly satisfied with this amazing company and Cassie. Wouldn’t choose anyone else. - Kellli M., Fernandina Beach, Fl

My husband and I adopted a 9 week old German Shepherd puppy. KPRO was recommended by the the shelter. I can't say enough good stuff about Evan. He is professional but makes you feel comfortable. After 7 weeks of training Braxton has already moved up to some intermediate skills. Evan answered any questions in between sessions. I recommend KRO K9 to anyone. Thanks Evan for all your help with our not so little Braxton. - Stephanie P, Covington, La

So, after loosing our senior babies a few months apart of each other, we got 2 Doxies from the same litter. Chaos consumed our home! They were out of control & we were at our whits end! We contacted Evan Stewart with KPROK9. Never in a million years did we think we’d be where we are now! We were dealing with littermate syndrome! We’d never heard about that before! We ended up doing the 3 month training, after signing up for the elite program originally, it wasn’t working. We can’t say enough about these people! Steph Martin is our trainer with Evan. They went above and beyond researching, contacting other trainers with experience dealing with littermate syndrome to help us and they did! They were kind & patient towards us and our babies We went 3 months swapping them out without seeing each other then they were reintroduced to each other at Steph’s house for another week. They’re doing great!! Just friends now & not dependent on each other. They’re confidence & independence has grown so much! We can now take them places without chaos! They listen to commands & are much calmer. Totally different dogs than what we started with. We couldn’t be happier with our results and couldn’t have done this without Steph and Evan! We would recommend them to anyone no matter how small or large your problems may be! The greatest thing about them is that they REALLY care about us and our dogs! We trust them with our babies! That says everything! - Michelle C., Poplarville, Ms

Frances is a life saver!!! I adopted a 1 year old German shepherd from a lady I did not know. I knew getting a puppy especially a German shepherd was going to be some work. What I did not know is that I would need A LOT of help. When I thought I was going to get a regular dog trainer I was wrong. I got service that changed everything! Within a day I saw a difference in my dog. She helped with walking, his obedience level, and able to have him be great with my two-year-old daughter. She always follows through on appointments text messages or calls. She doesn’t wait until appointments to reach out, she will stay involved any day. Not only does she help with your dogs, but she gives you a full reason why a dog acts the way that a dog does. She is honest and does not sugarcoat anything which is what I needed and loved the most. My dog is a whole different dog compared to when I first brought him home. There were a few times I wanted to give up but she completely changed everything. The price is definitely 100% worth every single penny. Your dog will not just get trained to sit but your dog and yourself will learn so much more than just an average training. I do not regret reaching out at all I absolutely love them. - Brittany D., El Paso, Tx

I was skeptical at first, as someone with an advanced degree in animal behavior I felt like I could train my great dane Winston…I was wrong. Kevin did in 2 weeks what I failed to do in over 12 months, he trained Winston to follow nearly a dozen commands and I have never been more impressed. I now have an obedient dog! Winston never fails to impress when I go to a pub and tell him to lay down and stay then return a few minutes later and he hasn’t moved…that’s a good boy! Kevin sent me and wife update videos of his training while we were away & missing him and is a guy who’d I drink a beer with anytime. Thanks again Kevin for helping us with Winston and I highly recommend you to anyone that asked how I got him to behave so well. Also, training videos are coming soon to his instagram account- winston_the_prime_dane - Matt D, Slidell, La

We had the best experience with KPro K9! Our dog was a rescue, at 1 & 1/2 years old, so we did not know what to expect. Nate was able to customize a training plan specifically for our dog. Nate was available via phone for questions or concerns between sessions. It was the best experience we could have asked for. I wish we had more training sessions left in our package! I would use Kpro K9 again if we ever need them in the future. - Hannah T., Yulee, Fl

Working with Gino exceeded any and all expectations I had for a dog training course. He presents information clearly and in a way that empowers you as the owner. He makes dog psychology accessible to anyone using human analogies that are just as funny as they are informative. Gino will provide you with all of the tools you need to be successful - follow his lead and you will see immediate results. Completing this course has improved my relationship with my dog and my dog's quality of life. He is a much more confident animal that can now handle excursions to markets, breweries, or stores!! It is easy to see just how much love Gino has for the animals, their handlers, and this profession. If you are on the fence about dog training, this is your guy. I could not recommend him more highly!! - Kaylee P., Jacksonville, Fl

We had waited until he was 18 months old to seek out any obedience training for our Sealyham Terrier, so he had already developed some bad behaviors that needed correction. Nate, our local area trainer from K-PRO K9, was very careful to inquire about what behaviors were a problem for us and to customize a training program to correct them as well as teach basic obedience. We ended up going with a package of 2-week boarding "boot camp" with boarding in Nate's own personal home, followed by 8 follow-up weeks of 1-hour personal training in our home or occasionally at a rendezvous public spot. The biggest breakthrough was midway through the follow-up sessions, when Nate - at no extra charge - provided us with an electronic remote dog pager; and gave us many tips on how to use this device to reinforce our obedience commands and overcome our dog's most stubborn bad behaviors. It worked! - Stephen H., Fernandina Beach, Fl

We worked with Kevin and I am thoroughly pleased with the progress both of us(me and my dog Marco) have made with this training.

KPro-K9 is a MUST for anybody with a dog. Doesn’t matter if it’s a new puppy or full grown dog, the training you will receive makes your life easier and your puppy happier! Kevin began training my Belgian Malinois puppy at 14 weeks old and I was able to take him out in public places controlled by the time he was 17 weeks old. He is now 6 months old and responds to commands almost immediately in all environments and also off-leash. Cannot recommend Kevin enough! Also, if you ever need to board your dog for any reason he is the go to! My dog got plenty of attention and play time while I was out of town for a week and took no steps back in his training! Schedule today and you will not regret it!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Can’t say enough about how happy we have been with KProK9 services! Kevin has been working with us for months and has made a night and day difference for our two dogs. He was extremely flexible to help us schedule follow-up sessions around our hectic home life with three kids, one of which a newborn. We have a third dog who will only be receiving training from this group of fine folks! - Peter N., Diamondhead, Ms

KPRO K9 and trainer Cassie helped out with both of our dogs so much! Just after 8 sessions she helped our dogs transform.

We are so pleased with the training our Westies Molly (18 months old) and Pippa (8 months old) received at KPRO K9. Thanks to Nate and his training methods they are well on their way to becoming exemplary canine citizens. Nate also trained/educated us. We needed that training as much as our pups did, if not more! Nate is kind, a gentleman and an extremely knowledgeable trainer. Molly and Pippa adored him. Nate held training sessions in a variety of venues in order to socialize and familiarize our pups with various types of daily encounters. We were fortunate to find this level of training so close to home (Amelia Island Fl.) and look forward to working with Nate in the future for intermediate training for Molly, Pippa and us. Thanks again, Nate and KPRO K9. - Nadine, Ed, Molly and Pippa, Fernandina Beach, Fl

We are beyond grateful for our Trainer Guy Smith who learned of Remmy’s dire situation and intervened providing a safe place for her. Guy’s professionals expertise combined with pure gentleness helped Remmy move from a complete state of franticness to calmness while she was in his care during her two weeks of Boot Camp. Guy is also working with our Lab mix and through Guy’s expertise our Wally is making tremendous progress in leash walking as well as a state of calmness when out in Public. Guy is very timely in answering questions that come up and giving his professional expertise in problem solving. In meeting Guy we recognized immediately his gentleness in how he handled Remmy and Wally. In fact, Guy & his brother Gino came today to pickup Remmy as she will spend the next week socializing with her new brother Wally. Remmy saw Guy & Gino and immediately began wagging her tail and ran to them. Remmy completed Boot Camp Jan 3 and returned home to us where we continued to implement the training techniques. At first it seemed overwhelming. However, Guy’s patience in repeating & demonstrating the techniques as well as timely response to questions eased any anxiety or inadequacies I felt. Remmy & Wally through Guy’s expertise and gentleness are well on their way to being happier pawkids. We as pawparents are learning the skills to help them meet their potential. We consider Guy & Gino Family. We will be forever grateful for the difference they are making in our pawkids lives. No doubt our Pack will be calmer and happier because of Guy🐾❤️🐾 - N Tarant, Green Cove, Fl

Gino worked with my “fur-nephew”, Simba, a Boerboel mastiff who is just a little over 1yr old. Just a few months before, my kids (a set of 5yr old triplets and a 2yr old) were terrified of him because he was in puppy mode - super energetic, jumping on them and barking at them. They didn’t know how to interact with him even though they wanted to and Simba didn’t know how to stay calm around them so they can pet him. Enter Gino to the rescue. In just 2 short weeks he turned Simba into an obedient, calm and sweet dog! We could hardly believe that it was the same dog. The kids would run around him and he’d gently lay down watching them play. He calmly walks without a leash, listening and watching for commands, disregarding any distractions around him. More importantly, the kids and Simba now have a mutual respect and they can safely play together. Thank you so much, Gino, for training both Simba and my kids how to play together! - Oana K, St. Augustine, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We worked with Frances with both of our dogs, Smoke and Dash. Smoke is a highly reactive Australian shepherd who did NOT get along with Dash, our highly anxious Jack Russell. The two week board and train with Frances gave Smoke the foundation he needed to be better trained on a leash and more obedient to us. We then continued to work with Frances for Dash to decrease his anxiety and slowly have them integrate back with each other. Smoke and Dash have made so much progress, separately and individually, and we have so much hope for the future because of the tips, lessons, and tricks Frances has taught us. We are so grateful! - Orooj H, Gulfport, Ms

Nate has been phenomenal with our German Shepherd. We are almost done with the behavior modification training program, and she has done a complete 180 from the time she started. Nate has been extremely patient, understanding, and knowledgeable. His love for dogs and for dog training is obvious from the beginning, and he’s truly dedicated to setting you and your dog up for success for the rest of your dog’s life. KPRO K9 will without a doubt be our go-to training company for future training needs, and we would definitely recommend them to anyone! - John and Sarah F, Yulee, Fl

Oh my goodness! We are so unbelievably grateful for this experience with Kpro K 9 we can’t say enough good things about our trainer Nate! He was so responsive, kind, patient not only with our sweet pup but also with helping my husband and I learn how to be better dog parents! He was so professional and an expert at what he does. Our dog adores him which speaks volumes to us. She came back a calmer more confident dog and biting stopped. He was so great to work with! The whole experience was worth every penny! You won’t regret going with this business and ask for Nate! He’s gonna help you bring out the best in your dog! - Serenity R, Jacksonville, Fl

Cassie Kozerski is great! I gave her on job to do with my dog and she got it done! My dog Bubba has been semi trained to do the basics, sit, down, stay but he would not come when called!! It has gotten to the point that our frustration level was too much and decided to call in a specialist! Cassie took our stubborn boy and return a different dog! He has learned and on his way to mastering coming when called! He has settled down and even though he walked good on a lead, he is even better now! Thank you so much for your time and effort with Bubba! Your patience with him and training are remarkable! Thank you Cassie. - Art S, Yulee, Fl

Evan and KPro K9 genuinely changed the lives of both me and my dog. I came to him with my recent rescue that had been previously neglected and had serious fear and reactivity issues. I had several coast dog trainers tell me that he wasn't "salvageable" or that I should rehome him because it wasn't a case they could handle. I never thought that I'd be able to take him anywhere, but working through KPro's Behavior Mod package has allowed my dog (and me) the chance for more freedom and a better life together. This is easily one of the best decisions I've ever made and could not recommend them more. -Morgan, B, Gulfport, Ms
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Where do I even begin? Do I start by saying both my dog AND I are completely different than from the beginning of training? Do I begin with the fact that I was a crying mess when I first met Gino, with significant fear of walking my dog…and NOW, I feel comfortable walking him around Riverside Arts Market, surrounded by other dogs, and so many other places? All of that is true - and then some! Gino (and Halo + friends) have been amazing! He’s been kind, patient and very encouraging, as I struggled to figure out if I would even keep my dog after we were charged/attacked. Meeting and training with Gino has been one of the best investments I’ve made. And it meant that I kept my dog! Gino has been there every step of the way, even when we’re doing our homework assignments between lessons. We wouldn’t be here without Gino and crew! With guidance and direction from Gino, I’ve gone from fear + hysterics to comfort, swag and a joy of walking my dog. My dog and I have learned to “pack walk”, control impulses and connect like never before. While you can’t control the uncontrollable (or stupid pet owners), Gino has equipped my dog and me with the needed skills to enjoy our walks, all while being safe and alert. Graduating this round of training isn’t the end for us and Gino. We look forward to learning more with Gino, in the near future. I highly recommend Gino and K-PRO9!!! -Katy S., Jacksonville, Fl
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our 7 month old Aussiedoodle, Bogey, spent two weeks with Nate and Cassie for the Board and Train, Basic Obedience. We are so impressed! The three follow-up sessions in our home quickly taught us how to effectively communicate the commands and how to continue the training Nate and Cassie had already established. I also loved that our puppy still came back very much himself, just much better behaved! It was amazing (and reassuring!) to see how happy Bogey was to see Nate each and every time for the follow-up – it was clear our puppy adores him, and we are forever grateful. If you are considering obedience training in the Jacksonville area, I highly recommend Nate and Cassie with KProK9! You guys are awesome! Thank you, again.-Missy B., Fernandina Beach, Fl

I have a 7 month Doberman and relocated to Jacksonville from Georgia. In Georgia we lived on 3 acres of land and downsized to a 2 bedroom apt. I had received several complaints about my baby Sevyn. When I lived in Georgia we had invisible fence which the system worked amazingly. All I knew in my mind was that I wasn’t getting rid of my baby. I called and spoke with Heather she was amazing at doing the intake part and also making sure that all the details were given. My trainer Gino was amazing as well. Once Gino picked my baby up I received updates daily on her progress. What really made me comfortable was a line of communication was always available. Once Sevyn was home she wasn’t the same dog. Gino went over the steps with me and gave me pointers. I was amazed at the progress. I understand my dog is still a puppy but she was very energized on a daily basis. She has made such a huge change and I am happy about the results. I highly recommend K Pro K9 for all of your training needs. The prices was also great to compared to the other places I checked out. -Sheneka A, Jacksonville, Fl

K-Pro K9 has several trainers. But, we used Evan and he is effective and professional. We have a high-drive working puppy and Evan creatively worked with our pup and us to get basic obedience and a couple of problem behaviors under control.

"Words cannot describe how amazing this place is for dog training. They managed to take our previously untrainable dog and delivered on their word. They might be a bit pricey but it is 100% worth every penny.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"When we came to Evan with our 11-year-old lab mix we were at a complete loss. Life with our dog had become a burden. The concept of leisurely walks was no longer part of our lives. The pulling and loss of control on the leash were our reality. Also mixed in was a growing level of anxiety in our girl. It was a nightmare for all of us.
Now after a series of sessions with Evan we feel like we have a whole new outlook. The change is absolutely amazing. It is like walking a totally different dog. And we feel like we’ve been set free. Free to go out and enjoy the world with our dog.
What I appreciated the most is that Evan took time with us. To talk and find out about our lives and how we operated as a family. He used those talks to help us set realistic expectations for our life with our dog. He showed us the things we needed to change in our interactions with her to help implement more confidence and security in her and us.
Evan is professional and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend the services of K-Pro K9!" -Amanda L, Jacksonville, Fl

"Evan has been working with our fur baby to become not only a well behaved puppy, but to do very important tasks. The training is exceptional and the results are amazing.

Gino has been fantastic to work with! After just 2 sessions he has taught me quite a bit already, and I have seen major improvement with my dog Maui. I highly recommend! - Daniel B., Jacksonville, Fl
We're still going through our training & it's been a challenge with our wieners They're stubborn and have good & bad days but, Evan has been great!! Very supportive, encouraging & patient! Also, he answers texts & phone calls when I have a question. We're working hard & trying & putting in the effort to make them where we want them to be and 9 weeks in, we wouldn't be where we are without him. We trained today a pet sense and it went great! I love how excited he was about our progress! He truly cares about us and our babies! I recommend him to everyone I know with a dog! He has gone above and beyond with us so far! Y'all just don't know! Worth the money!! Michelle C., Poplarville, Ms
Highly recommend KPro K9. Cassie with KPro K9 was so professional, she changed my dogs life and mine! Myself, a first time dog owner had no idea the challenges I would be getting into with a new puppy. After using other training companies with some results but not really tailored to what my dog needed and myself, I reached out to KPro and set an appointment with Cassie! We were able to have hands on training where ever we wanted to go, at home or around town. This was a life changer. Cassie was able to see how Marshall (my dog) reacted around strangers and dogs/ and how I reacted. She was able to alter training based on our specific needs and place us in real life situations with successful outcomes! Throughout this training program Cassie was available for questions and concerns and worked on everything with us from chasing chickens, to recall. Before I contacted KPro K9 I was kicked out of Lowe’s when my dog was only 5-6 months old due to his reaction to strangers. I am now able to comfortably go to Lowe’s with no reaction or downtown when a function is happening without a peep! I cannot thank KPro K9 and Cassie enough for teaching me the tools I needed and my dog to be able to have a great relationship, with clear communication. I now can feel comfortable to take my dog anywhere! - Katrina J., St. Marys, Ga
Our puppy left full of spirit but little discipline. After two weeks with Cassie our puppy is still very spirited and she follows direction without hesitation. I recommend KPro K9 because of the results and the value! 5stars across the board! - Jon S., St. Marys, Ga
KPro K9 has been wonderful to work with! Steph was AMAZING with our dog!!! We are first time pet owners and had so much to learn. She did a great job explaining why our dog behaved certain ways and why the training techniques worked. She was extremely patient with us and worked with our schedules. I highly recommend Steph and the KPro K9 team! - Angela W., Bilox, Ms
He came to the house and my dog immediately loved him. Ryan was so good with Auggie and I now have a pet I can handle. We will continue practice until he is perfect?? -Martha M., Yulee, Fl
Cassie did an amazing job with Milo and is there for support now. Worth the money!! Thank you! - Michelle T., Kingsland, Ga
We just finished Puppy Beginner class with KPro K9 trainer, Cassie. Cassie is dynamic, knowledgeable, encouraging, and has a sense of humor. She gave us tools to use, moving forward, in basic training for our puppy. Meeting in a public place, in a group with other dogs, had more value than I could have imagined. - Sheila U., St. Marys, Ga
I have used their services and was very pleased. very professional, and great results. I like that they are results based and don't lock you into a set time frame. Highly recommend. - Loretta K., Picayune, Ms

Thanks to the hard work we all put in and all of her support we are now a team and I am able to live and work for the life I want with independence and without fear. It's been less than a month since he officially graduated and he's already making such a huge difference in my daily life both personally and professionally. - Erica L., St. Marys, Ga

Gino is amazing. He was just here for our 2nd session with our baby Coco. I can’t say enough good things about him and Kpro’s service in general. He is polite, professional, and treats our baby as one of his own.
We look forward to having a long relationship with Kpro and Gino. Coco is doing great! Thanks so much! - JP M, Orange Park, Fl
From the first initial contact, to the last training session, the KPro K9 team makes you and your pet feel like a part if the pack. To say that Guy is a patient trainer is an understatement. He has an easy, calming way about him while he works with your dog. He has a way with people, too. He is very thorough with his explanations and is responsive to after class questions. His brother Gino (also a trainer) took the time to make a guest appearance. Holly Berry and I are delighted and proud to endorse KPro K9, LLC. - Sharon M, Jacksonville, Fl
Cassie helped my dog Max and I learn that I am the one who is in control. Before Cassie, my dog would keep pushing boundaries. Cassie gave me the tools to rebuild Max and I’s relationship and I am so grateful that! Max walks well on the leash, listens to commands, and is significantly calmer when people come over to visit. Thank you so much for everything you have taught us!! - Abigail M, St Marys, Ga
Cassie helped our 3 legged rescue overcome some of his bad habits. He’s still a work in progress, as all of us are. Cassie gave us helpful tools that we continue to use. She is so kind to Georgie. We are thankful for Cassie and we recommend her highly! - Beverly C, St Marys, Ga
Cassie did an amazing job with Milo and is there for support now. Worth the money!! Thank you! - Michelle T, Kingsland, Ga

Haven't used your services but wanted to shoutout to the 2 guys walking/training on the Fernandina City Marina docks a few weeks back. We were on our boat and had a blast watching their skills! VERY impressive and looked like they were very happy! I think one was a giant schnauzer and possibly a Malinois. Sierra N, Fernandina Beach, Fl
Can’t recommend enough, Cassie has been phenomenal in training our lab puppy as well as our family. We get compliments on how well our 5 month old lab behaves at restaurants and out in public. - Jackie W, St Marys, Ga

Thanks so much for helping us out with Finnegan! He is doing great! - Laurie B, Fernandina Beach, Fl
Just completed puppy training class with our new puppy, Bella.
Evan does a fantastic job teaching us! I would definitely recommend the training to anyone -- new puppy, older dog. He is great and the dogs really respond to him and then, to us. He takes the time to share his knowledge and really cares that we are successful! - Debby C, Fernandina Beach, Fl
Very impressed with Evan! My 10 month old puppy just completed the two week boarding bootcamp and I am mind blown by how much she has improved in just two weeks!! Evan addressed all issues we were having with obedience, leash walking, and potty training (among many other things). He is super knowledgeable, and took his time in explaining what he was doing with our puppy and why it was effective. We have a few more classes with Evan, and I can’t wait to learn more and watch my puppy continue to improve under Evan’s training. - Angelique V, Fernandina Beach, Fl
My kids and I recently completed their expert dog training services group beginner class. We were very pleased with our experience and we’d like to do the intermediate class next. This class covered “all basic obedience behaviors to include: sit, down, stay, leave it, drop it, loose leash walking, coming when called, sitting for greetings. Also included is instruction on concepts such as: basic canine husbandry, grooming, nutrition, house training, problem-solving.” Evan is extremely qualified. We highly recommend. - Jason M, Fernandina Beach, Fl
