We had a fantastic experience working with Sean from Advance K9 for one-on-one training with our yellow lab puppy. Sean helped us build a strong foundation by teaching essential, high-use commands like sit, down, and place. He was incredibly helpful in explaining not just what to do, but how often and how long to practice, something that really made a difference in our dog's progress. Sean was fun, friendly, and easy to work with. His positive energy made each session enjoyable for both us and our pup. Best of all, our dog absolutely loves him! We're so glad we chose to work with Sean and would highly recommend Advance K9 to anyone looking for effective, personalized dog training.

We cannot thank Sean and Advance K9 enough for support with our 80lb puppy! It is so important to us to be responsible pet parents and have a well-behaved German shepherd; Advance K9 helped us accomplish this goal with guidance both in person and by phone whenever we have had questions. Sean taught us how to lead with compassion, play and be consistent using positive reinforcement to train our puppy, which aligns with our values instead of negative consequences and punishment. We were particularly impressed with Sean's clear understanding of our puppy's personality, temperament, and specific needs, as well as how much he cared about our concerns and goals, specifically to our lifestyle of traveling, hiking and water sports. I highly recommend Advance K9's weekly, one-on-one training sessions as well as their board and train program to anyone who is seeking teaching and guidance for their furry family members! We are truly so grateful for their support!

My partner and I couldn't be more grateful for Sean at Advance K9, who has been working with our young pup, Maggie May, while she's at Oh My Dog during the day. We reached out to Sean back in February this year seeking advice on managing Maggie May's excitement, overly exuberant play and overall energy. Right from the start, Sean was thoughtful, honest and easy to speak to. After assessing Maggie, he warned us she was a bit timid but explained that, with patience and consistency, we could help her build confidence. From there, Sean provided insightful pointers: a few tug toys reserved just for structured play with us, practical strategies to encourage positive engagement, and teaching techniques we could continue at home. Over the following weeks and months, we began to notice genuine improvements—Maggie became more confident, well-behaved during play and overall, more balanced in her interactions.

What truly stands out is Sean's communication and the time and care he invested in both Maggie May and us. He always updates us on her progress, offers accessible ideas, and shows genuine commitment. We feel incredibly thankful for everything Sean has done. While she's still young and learning, we look forward with excitement to watching Maggie May continue to grow—and we deeply appreciate Sean's guidance on that journey. Thank you, Sean! You've made a meaningful difference for our pup, for us and our family.
