The Transformations That Define Us
Three reviews that capture exactly what we do — reactive rehab, rescue rehabilitation, and the philosophy behind every plan.

"Amy and Audrey have completely transformed my dog. Brutus was a very reactive and aggressive dog who needed to wear a muzzle at all times. His aggression has been transformed into a well behaved dog. The transformation in Brutus has been a complete 180. Audrey and Amy have given me the proper tools, confidence and knowledge to become the proper handler that my dog needs. K9 Standards thank you for training Brutus and I!"

"Amy put me at ease as soon as I spoke with her on the phone. Our Baby Girl is a 6 yo rescue and was so reactive that she charged and bit anyone entering our home, that included me and my son. Amy trained me as an owner as well as Baby Girl. Yes, she will always need her E collar and muzzle with new people. But, she is a loving dog now. Audrey also worked with my helper and now Baby Girl follows him around when he’s here to work. We were Baby Girl’s 3rd family and with Amy and Audrey’s help, Baby Girl has found her forever home with us. Thank you so much!!!"

"Audrey and Amy are simply the best dog training team around. They are knowledgeable, patient, and professional. The change in our dogs in a months time is simply amazing. Be aware that this not a magic pill. If you stick to their program and work with your dog, the results are phenomenal. Amy and Audrey will show you that most of your dogs problems are actually problems with the humans leading them. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for training for their fur baby."

"Audrey & Amy took my 8-week old golden retriever goofball to a very well-mannered and disciplined puppy. I continue to recommend K9 Standards to individuals within my neighborhood. It’s almost weekly now, I seem to receive another compliment on my dog’s obedience which I attribute to K9 Standards. Each week I am given a new “homework assignment” that I hit hard with my dog. If you need that little nudge to reach out to K9 Standards for your pet, I highly encourage you do so."

"My dog has had reactivity and social issues for quite some time and thanks to the help of Amy and Audrey, I’ve been able to manage it 10000% better than before and I’m pleased with how my dog has turned out. They’re easy to talk to, make classes fun and exciting and I highly recommend the both of them if anyone needs a trainer! ❤️"

"I have been training with K9 standards for over a year and have made a massive improvement in three of my dogs. One basic and advanced obedience, one behavior modification and one is a puppy training into advanced obedience."

"My family is so happy we found Amy and Audrey at K9 Standards! They are the best in the business. They are extremely knowledgeable and professional. We rescued our dog and she wasn’t being real nice to my husband, strangers, or other dogs. Audrey did such a wonderful job training her (and us) on acceptable behavior of a dog. My dog has such great manners now. She gets compliments on her behavior everywhere we take her. She now looks forward to going to class with Amy and Audrey every week!"

"K9 standards saved me! I adopted a wild, strong willed puppy that was destroying my house and my sanity. Amy and Audrey took good care of us and got our little guy under control. He now has a good sit, down, heel, and responds when we say no."

"K9 Standards has truly changed our lives! In just two months, the quality of life with our pup has drastically changed for the better, and we’re so excited to see how much further our continued training will take us. Audrey is a passionate and knowledgeable trainer who’s easy going and and fun to work with. The group classes have been an added bonus for our dog’s growth, but the personalization of the training is invaluable. I would highly recommend K9 Standards— they can fix anything!"

"Our German Shepard puppy Harper has been working with Audrey for just over a month now and we couldn’t be happier with the results. K9 standards are professional, thorough, and very knowledgeable. Harper has made significant progress already and absolutely loves Audrey. Audrey has been easy to work with and has made the whole process an enjoyable one. Highly recommend them."

"Audrey is amazing!! Your dog comes first with customized private lessons in your own home that focus on exactly what your needs are. Optional group lessons every week make reinforcing skills outside of the home fun. I wouldn’t trust my dog with anyone else! K9 Standards is the best."

"If I could give more than 5 stars I totally would. Rocky starting showing signs of improvement since day 1 with Audrey and Amy. Now after almost a year he has become a well rounded part of the family who continually improves more and more each class. I don’t think we would have such a perfect dog without help from Audrey and Amy."

"I have a gentle giant who loves almost every person he meets but who became dog reactive after our other dog passed away. We worked with K9 Standards in group sessions for socialization and also private appointments as well . The classes not only helped him, but me as I was nervous handling him at times. We now have the tools and knowledge so we can all be confident."

"Amy and Audrey gave me hope that Baby Girl could be trained not to charge and bite. Initially, Amy spent a long time talking to me on the phone BEFORE she was hired. Every single in home session we saw progress! Baby Girl, a 6 yo abused dog that we rescued, will probably always be reactive. But now we have the tools and confidence to make our dog feel safe and to be an enjoyable pet. Amy gives it to you straight and honestly. She gave us tips to transport our dogs safely in the car and many other dog safety tips. I highly recommend her business!!!"

"Working with Amy and Audrey has been great. They definitely know their craft. When we first met and they told me about their training program, I was like “my dog will do that, when”, well he did. And he continues to do well with the training. I highly recommend them for your pet training. Plus they are a lot of fun with the training sessions-Zeus agrees! 🐾🐾"

"Wow! K9 Standards did an amazing job with our 2 dogs. Our puppy Rascal is now well behaved and our aggressive dog Tex is now a joy to live with. He’s calm and completely stopped growling and lunging. It’s a miracle what these 2 gals did."

"Audrey has trained both of my dogs and she’s absolutely amazing. My first dog was very dog aggressive and she worked wonders with that. She trained my second dog to be off leash and helped with his jumping. K9 Standards is great for any dog."

"My GSD and I met Amy and Audrey to begin working on many of Echo’s negative behaviors . I know this will be hard work but after listening to the breakdown of how things will work, I’m confident Echo and so will do well!"

"We are still in the beginning stages (2nd session done) and we already see great improvement! Audrey and Amy are awesome and really know their stuff. They are both super friendly, knowledgeable and eager to help us reach our goals. I can’t wait to share our end results when we are done the whole program!"

"K9 standards is great! We had our first service dog training session at Target. I was nervous for it but Audrey was amazing. She talked with me about why I was nervous and helped show me that I had no need to worry about my dog jumping on little kids. We walked by lots of kids and my dog didn’t care at all. It showed me how well behaved my dog is now since working with K9 standards and helped me build even more trust in my dog. I can not wait for our next training session!"

"Audrey and Amy are awesome, our Doberman seems to have some kind of ocd and when finishing, she feels the need to do circles, we’ve been working hard at it and yesterday we broke the habit! Highly recommend!"

"We rescued another pup! Audrey and Amy are great. We even were considering giving up and thinking we made a mistake and that 2 dogs were too much to handle. A couple of lessons in and our 2nd pup is becoming obedient and calm. Thank you K9 Standards. Highly recommended!"
