In January our 10 year old Golden Retriever Ginger passed away. Ginger was our first dog and we missed her dearly. After consulting with friends and other dog lovers we decided to bring two Golden’s into our household. Our sons are in college and so the new girls Jessie and Casey became a part of our family. We were looking into help in training our new girls since after reading many articles on the subject many experts and owners suggested training is essential to a happy long relationship with your dog. Looking back with Ginger we had no idea what we were doing and for her I am sorry we did not know then what we know now. I searched the internet for dog trainers and chose to call Northern Kentucky K9. This was one of the best decisions we have made. I remember having Belinda come over to evaluate our girls and wow did we learn a lot. I must say we were skeptical at first and had a lot of doubt of how you could train young pups to do the things that Belinda described during the consultation. We scheduled our girls for early June boarding and training (this was February) when the girls would be at least 5 months old. I can now tell you that this was a great experience. Jessie and Casey are now 8 1/2 months and 9 months old respectively now and I must say we could never be more pleased. They walk on leash and off leash, place and sit on command and seem to be happy with the stable routine. When there are distractions when out they stay focused and listen to our commands. They still have moments sometimes since they are pups but these behaviors are easily addressed. Also I remember when we had our go home session and I asked Belinda can we get your help from time to time if we are having issues or need questions answered. She responded that we are your trainers for life and she was so right. When we board our girls when we are away Belinda and Jeff spend time with them and the reinforcement training helps tremendously. Also we get so many compliments on the girls behavior while we are out with them that I must say it almost makes you boastful when you see another dog walking its owner or not listening to commands. We would highly recommend Northern Kentucky K9. The money we spent was well worth it.
