Our Happy Dogs and Owners

George Owens

As a first-time dog handler, I wanted a team who could not only train my German Shepherd, Beezly, but also coach me. Rob and Kandi’s private classes gave us a solid foundation as we prepare for American Schutzhund. Their expertise and guidance have been invaluable, and I couldn’t ask for a better team to help us reach our goals.

Kim Wexler

Before group classes, walking my dog was a constant struggle. His strength was overwhelming, and I felt like he was in control. Thanks to Rob and Kandi, I learned how to confidently take the lead, and now my shepherd mix trusts me and walks by my side. I’m thrilled with the results!

Jennie Cart

My boxer rescue was a handful—she had no boundaries at home and was becoming a menace. After sending her to Rob and Kandi’s Board & Train program, she’s now a well-behaved, delightful companion. I’m so grateful to the team at Emerald Ranch K9 Academy for the incredible transformation!
