What Rochester Families Say About K9 Obedience Academy

"We got a Goldendoodle puppy in January and had no idea what we were doing. Mo came to our house for the first three sessions which was amazing, trained where the puppy actually lives. She learned sit, stay, come, and loose-leash walking in 4 sessions. We couldn't be more impressed."

"Our Labrador was out of control, pulling on leash, jumping on guests, counter surfing, wouldn't come when called. After 3 weeks with Mo he came back a completely different dog. The transfer sessions were super helpful so we knew exactly how to maintain everything at home."

"Our rescue Pit Bull mix was leash reactive to the extreme, we couldn't even get out the front door without her exploding at other dogs. Mo correctly identified it as fear-based from the start. His desensitization approach worked and now she can walk past other dogs without reacting. Took about 8 sessions."

"As a working professional with a high-energy Belgian Malinois, I needed training that fit my schedule. The day training program was perfect, Mo worked with Diesel while I was at work and sent video updates every day. I looked forward to those videos. The results were better than I expected."

"Mo started working with our French Bulldog at 10 weeks old. He emphasized the socialization window and made sure we were exposing her to everything during that critical period. She is now the most well-adjusted, social 6-month-old we've ever had. Starting early was the best decision."

"Our Akita had resource guarding so severe we couldn't approach his food bowl. Two other trainers said it was unfixable. Mo diagnosed the root cause, built a systematic counter-conditioning plan, and within 10 sessions we can now take his bowl mid-meal without any reaction. Absolutely remarkable."

"We did 6 private sessions for our 2-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog. Mo's patience and the way he explains the 'why' behind each exercise made it easy to practice at home. Our Berner went from ignoring us to having a reliable recall even off-leash at the park."

"My 18-month-old Husky was a nightmare, screaming in the car, bolting out doors, pulling me off my feet on walks. After 4 weeks with Mo I have a completely different dog. He's focused, calm, and walks like a dream. The lifetime support is also a huge bonus, Mo still answers my questions months later."

"Our Australian Shepherd would go absolutely crazy barking at people through the fence. Neighbors were complaining. Mo identified it as territorial barking mixed with anxiety. His structured protocol combined with management changes at our property made a dramatic difference within a month."

"I have a bad back and my Doberman was pulling me everywhere. Mo fixed the leash manners in just 3 sessions and taught me how to maintain it. Simple, clear instructions, no gimmicks, no gadgets. Just training. I can walk my dog comfortably for the first time in two years."

"Mo's daily video updates during the Day Training program were something I genuinely looked forward to. Seeing my dog's progress every single day was incredible. And the transition home was smooth because of the detailed handoff sessions. Highly, highly recommend."

"Our Mini Aussie puppy was biting so hard we had bruises all over our arms and hands. Friends said 'just wait it out' but Mo fixed the bite inhibition in two sessions. He also set us up with a proper crate training routine that meant sleeping through the night within a week. Worth every penny."
