Grooming department does a great job and works with you and your dog! The Board and train program completely turned around my dogs attitude and now he's off leash or loose inside with me and listens so well!! Also love the doggy daycare program! They do a great job with all of their programs and keep you updated with lots of pictures!
Liberty K9 is awesome! Very professional employees who take all their jobs serious. They treated my dogs with the utmost respect. The staff is also easy to talk to if you have any questions or concerns of your pet's behavior. I have sent 3 of my German shepherds here for a month long off leash board and train. Best decision ever! I have also since taken advantage of their boarding when leaving town. My dogs love it. They get to run and play, not just sit in a kennel run. When picking up your pet they tell you about your pets behavior. I have used Liberty since approx 2017 and will continue to do so in the future.
Liberty K9 is a one stop shop for your canine friends needs, from training, boarding, and grooming. We sent our dog Ohlee for training and the results were AMAZING and worth every penny 100x over. Since, he has been back for boarding with options for country strolls, festive activities, grooming, etc. The LK9 team is the best, highly recommended.
We did the puppy program & it was a game changer! We sent our last dog for the offleash board & train and our only regret was not doing it sooner. So this time around, we sent the dog right away. We brought the dog from the breeder at 8 weeks strait to liberty k9 and I'd highly recommend it! We have young kids at home and needed a well behaved dog right from the beginning. Since being home, he's been able to be on his place bed during meal times, stay in a down while putting our baby to bed, waits at the door even if the kids leave it open, and doesn't jump on the kids or get nippy as a puppy would. He comes when called and can be out in the yard playing with us & is welcome on family walks because he's well behaved in a leash and requires no extra effort on our part. He's an excellent addition to our already very busy family thanks to liberty k9! We can't thank them enough!
This is the only place I will take my dog to now! Boarding is great, daycare is wonderful, grooming is excellent, and training is top-notch!
I just finished a series of private lessons with my Ripley and I'm super impressed! For private lessons, the trainer not only trains your dog but also YOU. I feel so much more confident working with my dog and knowing the appropriate way to set boundaries and expected behaviors. Ripley used to pull like mad on her leash on walks but now she does a fantastic job heeling and just being better on the leash in general. And if she IS naughty, now I know the correct way to address the issue. Not only that, but she was simply ravenous and crazy going after food. Now she does "leave it" like a champ!
Ripley had a blast as well! It was very stimulating for her and she was eager to learn. She's gotten a lot more confident herself and does better in general meeting new people and dogs.
I will say this. No trainer is a miracle worker. The results are what you get from you, your dog, and the trainer putting in the work, and then consistency on your (the owner's) part. But it is soooo worth it.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about LK9 - on both the boarding and training aspect! Especially trainer Ashley. She has us given all the reassurance, and more importantly, kind & easy to accept guidance/corrections on our handling when needed. We sure are lucky to have her as a resource as our puppy continues to grow up. It was such a relief knowing our 10 month old, high energy puppy was in great hands while we were in Jamaica for a week. She slept for an entire day after coming home which shows she got all the physical and mental enrichment she needs!
In just three weeks of private lessons with Ashley Fern, our dog has learned to neutralize her over-excited tendencies and hold commands around her biggest distractions (other dogs and new people). && trust me.. that's a HUGE accomplishment for this social butterfly. I've never been more proud watching her hold a heel and look at me as we pass dogs on a walk rather than her give full (& obnoxious) attention to them instead. It has been awesome to see what she's truly capable of and just simply gain some confidence in our handling ability. It will be so nice to bring her wherever she's allowed without the anxiety that comes with having a dog out in public!
Professional trainers with outstanding results. Tough month without my puppy, but the daily photos/videos kept her close. When she got home, she still has plenty of puppy left, but is spot on for commands when we train and especially when a "LEAVE IT" or "COME" when off leash is imperative. We are extremely impressed with her new manners.
I love this groomer. I recommend her to everyone. My only regret is she can't be cloned and double her available times. She is so good, you better make your appointments early.
My dog Harley came into our lives unexpected. I was helping out a friend for a little while to take care of him and he never left our home. Harley was 6 going on 7....he is now 9 going on 10. There was so much that I did not know about him like how did he grow up, what was his past...for me sometimes it was hard to connect. I wanted the best for him...So I called Jennifer, we met and I told her as much as I knew about him and was concerned that he was on the old side of the training spectrum. Jennifer's positive attitude and confidence immediately won me over and we signed up! He was with her for a bit over three weeks (she added a few days at no charge which was incredibly gracious because she wanted to make sure he really understood a few of the commands better).
Harley is a sheep herding dog who LOVE LOVE LOVES the UPS truck...well hell any moving vehicle and ran after them without hesitating no matter how much I yelled. He was very insecure and uncertain about boundaries. After his stay with her even at the ripe old age of now 10...it is NIGHT and DAY..I can not begin to tell you how comfortable he is with himself, how well behaved he is, how he listens, how much happier he is. Providing boundaries for dogs and kids is so important and Jenn is simply amazing at teaching that to dogs..I told her to open a day care but we both agreed that correction collars probably would not fly with most parents.
Thank you JennOfer you have an amazing gift and we are so lucky you are sharing that with so many!!
We did a board and train for our 1 1/2 year old Golden Retriever. He came back to us a perfect gentleman! The training was amazing! Jenny showed us how to continue his great training and sent us home with clear instructions and reference material. She is always quick with her responses to questions or requests. Truly a talented trainer and person. We LOVE how she cares for Frank both in the board and train or doggy daycare. HIGHLY recommend to anyone and everyone!
Very nice place I would bring my dog back there for grooming again.
So glad to have found Jenny! Her facility and knowledge gave me and my dog a safe and structured place to work on my dog's aggression. Jenny answered any and all questions I had for her, and gave me the skills to help my dog.
I will definitely be using K9 Liberty in the future for any training or boarding needs. You can tell she loves her job and dogs; it shows through her work.
We boarded our dogs for the first time at Liberty K9 a couple of weeks ago. It was the first time our senior Maltese dog hasn't come back to us a nervous wreck after being away for a few days. We are so impressed with the level of care the animals receive. Never have we ever before had someone hand feed our dog to help him eat when he's so nervous and anxious. Even the picture they sent of our dogs during their stay was above and beyond every boarding experience we've ever had. We highly recommend Liberty K9 not only for their exceptional service but also because of their very reasonable prices.
We sent our 5 month old dog Archie there. He's still a puppy but was developing some bad habits and we weren't sure how to go about correcting them. Our friends sent their dog here and highly recommended it to us. We sent Arche for the 4 week program and wow what a difference! We've had him home for a couple of weeks now and he's doing great! We also have the tools and knowledge on how to maintain his behavior. I wouldn't hesitate to send your dog here. The new facilities are clean, staff is super friendly and the results are just amazing.
They do my furbabies hairstyles, since my mom passed away Dodger doesn't really have a person anymore so his favorite thing now is going to groomer.....so they are amazing there. I trust them like no other so does my daughter that boards there. So I rate it 10 outta 10 definitely take ur babies here for grooming boarding and training. And if you know anyone looking for an older Doxie, let me know I'm on fb. Thank you guys you rock.
COCO is a year and a half old German Shepard. She lacked confidence and was afraid of other dogs and people. We heard of Liberty K9 from our Vet and decided to call and set up a consultation. We met with Jen , COCO was pacing and wining which was normal for her in a uncomfortable situation. Jen asked to hold her and COCO stopped wining and laid down by her chair. Jen said she thought COCO would benefit with 2 weeks of training. It was a big commitment but we decided to do it. She had never been away from home so it was hard to let her go. Jen kept us updated with her progress. The 2 weeks went by quickly, we went to pick her up and had a training class on what we needed to do. It was great Jen spent a good deal of time explaining what COCO had learned and showing us what we needed to do to keep her training going. She even sent us home with a DVD showing us what she did which was great because it was hard to remember all the new things she could do. COCO is doing great we can't believe she is the same dog. We took her into town, which she could never do before going through the training. We would highly recommend Liberty K9 to anyone who needs help with training their dogs.
What an amazing and well run facility. True pet advocates
Liberty K9 is the best... 100% - no doubt! They will love your dog almost as much as you do (even if they are kind of a stinker lol).
Its nice to go away and Know your dogs are being well taken care of. Clean facilities. Super friendly and knowledgable staff. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to board their dog. We will never board our dogs anywhere else.
