K NazaroffFebruary 18, 2023I canât say enough about Mary and her crew of excellent trainers. I took my eager to learn but strong willed Corgi puppy for a board and train and it was worth EVERY PENNY. Not only is Cashew trained in the basics; she also came home completely house broken (she was almost there upon drop off) and ready to continue her training with me at home. Donât get me wrong, FullFocusK9 did the work, my job is to just follow up with daily âremindersâ of what Cash has already learned. She learned basic obedience plus how to stop nipping and jumping up. She comes when called, and Iâve had her off leash and needed to recall her in an emergency and she turned on a dime and came back to me. What a worthwhile investment for a dog who I want as my constant companion for the next 15 years. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Nicole TurnerFebruary 16, 2023It has been a couple months since I picked up my 5-year-old Border Collie mix Honey from a Behavior Modification board and train with Mary at Full Focus K9. This experience has completely changed my relationship with my dog! Mary taught me how to communicate with Honey in a way she understood and really helped me reach a breakthrough with her after our training hit a plateau. She looks to me for guidance way more now, and I actually feel like I can help her in times of her anxiety and guarding tendencies instead of her being on her own. Before when we had guests over, I could barely get her to another room with all of the barking and lunging. Now, she is calm enough to listen to commands, take food, and lay on her bed when guests come over. We can enjoy our times in public together and take off-leash adventures now. Her mindset is completely different now, and she is a much happier dog! Mary and Emily also kept me updated the entire time Honey was away. They sent pictures and videos everyday, and they answered all of my questions even long after I picked Honey up. Of course we still have things to work on, as with any Board and Train program, the owner has to put in the work or you won't get the results that you want. This program laid the exact foundation that we needed though and has made it so much easier to enjoy my dog and the training process again. Thank you Mary and Emily so much!
LaurenFebruary 15, 2023Maeve has had a strong personality since day one. Alana, with FFK9 helped reel that in. Maeve is really smart and the new behaviors she has learned has made life that much better for us. She is no longer afraid of the crate, she can walk without pulling on the leash, and she learned recallâŠwhich was the most important lesson. I have always loved her, because of Full Focus k9 I love her even more.
Alexis StallingsFebruary 5, 2023To say Iâm beyond satisfied would be an understatement. I have been through more trainers than I can count and have spent at least $5,000+ on anything to help me with my dog. This has BY FAR been the best investment for my sweet isis. Liz is AMAZING. She kept me up to date on everything without me having to ask. She asked me lots of questions to really get familiar not only with my dog, but me as well. She has given me so many tools to help strengthen the bond between me and dog but also always be an ally for any help that I may need. If I had to choose all over again I would choose FFK9 every time!!!
Meri Elizabeth BittingJanuary 30, 2023We cannot thank Liz enough for the incredible work she did with our pup!! Hazel was not a fan of meeting new people or being away from me. She came home with a new-found confidence to meet people and to be independent. Updates of her progress while she was gone and continued support even after bringing her home has been a huge bonus! We are so proud of Hazel and thankful for FullFocusK9 as we couldnât have helped Hazel get to where she is without them!!
sharae duffyJanuary 24, 2023Full Focus K9 is the place to go for your dog training needs! We enrolled Sasha in the puppy preschool two week board and training. Her trainer Kelly was absolutely amazing. She was in communication with us for weeks before Sasha was scheduled to start. Then Kelly came to pick Sasha up which was amazing. We had daily communication and updates the entire time Sasha was with Kelly. We received pictures and videos showing all the progress she was making. It was so great to see how she was doing. We looked forward to out daily updates as we were missing our babygirl. At the end of her stay Kelly brought Sasha back home and spent an hour with us making sure Sasha had a successful transition home and that we were knowledgeable on what we need to do to maintain the skills sheâs learned. We are so pleased with our experience. Sasha has only been home for 1 day and we can already see the difference in her behavior. If youâre considering board and train with Full Focus K9âŠ..DO IT!
Melissa FalliganJanuary 21, 2023We had a great experience with our trainer Liz. She had our Belgian Shepherd Angel for 2 weeks and kept us updated with videos and pictures along the way. We mainly were looking for Angel to be able to learn boundaries when we had company and also wanted to be able to take her in public without her barking at everyone she saw. I must say Angel has done fantastic and we have enjoyed being able to take her out with us to outdoor events and just walks without the worry . Thanks again Liz and Fullfocus K9!
Melainie FloydJanuary 21, 2023I have sent 2 of my Goldendoodles here for advance training with Elizabeth. She was AwesomeâŠ.. I had a few questions and she was great help and easy to talk too. My Boyâs are Fabulous on and off leash. I highly recommend FullFocusK9 to any dog owner that just needs a much better Fur Baby.
B SipsyDecember 6, 2022LIFE CHANGING, PEACE CREATING, and TOTALLY TRANSFORMING! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Mary and her team at FullFocusK9 (special shoutout to Emily!) are absolutely amazing! Their board and train program has changed our lives and has literally saved our relationship with our pup. Our 105-pound, 10-month-old Saint Bernard puppy lacked obedience, manners, proper socialization, and was basically out-of-control. It had become difficult to function around our house as he began counter surfing, taking and guarding inappropriate items, lunging, and even nipping. He was also reactive to almost everything, and it was becoming impossible to safely take him for neighborhood walks or even to the vet. We tried different training methods, harnesses, collars, and even began researching Saint Bernard rescue centers. Then, we found Mary and FullFocusK9! After extensive training with Mary, the transformation was mind-blowing! Our Saint came home a COMPLETELY different dog, and we are definitely different owners. Our pup is now able to interact with us calmly (inside and outside), go on long neighborhood walks, have fun at the park, visit the pet store, behave at the vet, and was even able to enjoy his first Puppucino. Mary opened up a whole new world for him and for us! Along the way, Mary and Emily kept us in the loop with DAILY communication! They sent photographs, videos, training tips, observations, and product recommendations. They were also very encouraging and pleasantly answered my never-ending questions (even after our pup came home)! This is one of those times in life when âthank youâ just doesnât seem strong enough. There are simply no words to properly express our gratitude. This is also the sort of thing that you canât put a price tag on, but it was worth every single penny! If youâre considering investing in training, I highly recommend Mary and FullFocusK9! In our minds, theyâre the best of the best! Thanks to Mary, we are well on our way to âhappily ever afterâ with our pup!
P 19November 29, 2022If you are thinking about putting your pup through board and train with Jordan do it!! I cannot recommend her enough. I have a high energy one year old male doberman and I was struggling to get him where I wanted with such a busy schedule. After spending a few weeks with Jordan our training sessions are so much more positive, day to day life is more enjoyable for both of us, and he truly is a better dog. Jordan was always happy to send me pictures and updates to show his progress. I dropped him off with a list of a million things I was worried about and she answered all my questions and made me feel like his concerning behaviors wouldnât be a problem. She is so knowledgeable about what she is doing and I couldnât be happier with her as our trainer. When I picked him up I could see the bond he established with her and it meant so much to see my boy with so much gratitude for the work sheâs put into him.
