Chloe & Sox

Boot Camp

I can’t say enough good things about Atlantic K9 – they completely changed our dog for the better. We have a German Shorthaired pointer lab mix named Sox who has obviously a ton of energy and a very strong drive to hunt. We had tried previously to train him to be reliable off leash so we could fulfill his needs properly, but he would get distracted by everything that moved and it was impossible for us to trust him off leash. He pulled on walks due to excitement, counter surfed, and was a typical teenage dog that would be quite selective with when he listened to us. I found Atlantic K9 through an extensive search for a place that had incredible reviews and would train him on an e-collar. 

The whole process start to finish was amazing. They are so responsive and answered the millions of questions I had with patience and thoroughness. They got him into the board and train during the exact dates we asked for which was so helpful. We got daily photos of Sox and we could see that he was having the absolute best time. They updated us on his progress and we felt very informed and included throughout the full two week board and train. 

When we picked him up and had his first lesson, we were absolutely shocked. He was a different dog. Walking him on leash was easy and enjoyable, his engagement was through the roof, and his recall was already so much stronger than it had been two short weeks prior. I couldn’t believe the progress they were able to make with him in that time frame. After we got home with him, we realized how beneficial the board and train at Atlantic K9 really was. Since we picked him up, we have been able to have him off leash in many different situations with 100% recall. He is fully engaged with us the entire time and never strays more than three or four strides ahead of us. Atlantic K9 helped us to have the well trained dog we have always dreamed of. I get asked on a daily basis if he is a military or police working dog because he is so well behaved in every situation. I can’t thank Jenny and everyone at Atlantic K9 for the work they did with Sox! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. We will definitely be using them in the future for any training or boarding needs. We truly couldn’t be happier with our experience and how well trained Sox is thanks to them!

When he came home, well, he was a changed pup. Don’t look any further. These folks are professionals. I cannot recommend them enough.

The transformation has been amazing to watch. Atlantic K9 hasn’t just trained our dog—they’ve made us better owners too. We’d be absolutely lost without them.

I can’t adequately put into words the wonderful transformation I’ve seen with Kaiser. We will continue to see our friends at Atlantic K9 as Kaiser will be at daycare from time to time. Thank you so very much for all your hard work and dedication.
