TESTIMONIALS

Trusted by the Community & Consistently Recommended

Fluid K9 has earned perfect ratings on Google reviews and Facebook, with glowing word-of-mouth on platforms like Nextdoor. These reviews highlight the results and trust that set us apart.

We are so grateful to have found Fluid K9 Dog Training! Our puppy Murphy recently completed the 3-week obedience board and train program, and the results have been amazing. He was already a fairly well-behaved pup, but the transformation after training was incredible.

​

We recently took Murphy on a beach trip, and people kept stopping us, not just to pet him, but to compliment his calm demeanor and obedience. Even daily routines like brushing him have become so much easier thanks to the foundation John built.

​

John also took the time to thoroughly walk us through everything Murphy learned, making sure we felt confident continuing his training at home. We’re excited to keep working with John and his team. I highly recommend Fluid K9 to anyone looking for an amazing, effective expert dog trainer!
