Client Success Stories

I can’t recommend Civilized K9 enough!! From the very first session, it was clear that Christian understands dogs and cares deeply about helping both pets and owners succeed. My girl Jazzy was extremely fearful and he gave us very thorough & positive lessons that were tailored to helping Jazzy gain confidence to thrive. If you’re looking for a confident and passionate trainer Civilized K9 is the one to call!!

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have put my puppy through Christian’s course. Night and day difference with my dog’s behavior now. Thank you so much for all the training you did with my dog’s behavior Burt and also the training needed for me as the owner.

Can’t say how much of a difference training with Christian has made! I adopted a 6 month old herding dog (Catalan Sheepdog) and I felt way over my head but after just a few sessions I felt way more confident handling my pup and she was understanding the commands I gave her - we are now able to go on nice peaceful walks and she is even reliable off-leash with e-collar. 10/10 recommend!

Client Success Stories

Christian was great with our 4 year old Stella. He helped transform some reactive behavior issues she was having. We lived in a house with a big yard when she was younger, and we moved into a tighter neighborhood where she was on a leash a lot. She was reactive and not leash trained. He was able to come in and teach her (and us) how to enjoy walks and how to walk past neighbors without feeling fearful. He really helped us understand how to communicate with Stella (a smart lab), and work to build much more discipline! Thank you Christian!

We are so impressed and grateful with Christian at Civilized K9! Christian is incredibly knowledgeable and does a great job breaking down training skills in such an approachable way. We feel much more equipped and confident with caring for our dog, thanks to Christian. Also our dog absolutely adores Christian, and has a friend for life!

I’ve been working with Christian through his 8 class program and he’s been a game-changer for both me and my 1-year-old Labradoodle. Super professional, clearly knows his stuff, and has a great way of explaining things that actually stick. My dog responded to him right away, and the progress we’ve made has been amazing. He’s taught me just as much as he’s taught her, which has made a huge difference in how we communicate and work together. On top of that, he’s just a friendly, down-to-earth guy who genuinely cares about what he does, and it’s obvious he really loves his job. If you’re looking for someone reliable and knowledgeable, I highly recommend him.
