Great place to take your dog for board and train. Stephen was super knowledgeable, kind, and loving with our pup Luna. She came back home with the same energy and spirit with a more refined behavior, and more willingness to train than she did with us. On leash she’s respectful and follows direction and off leash she stays placed and doesn’t run off through the neighborhood. This will forever be a process with her but k9 conditioning helped set the ground work for us to continue. Stephen sent daily videos, updates, photos, and lots of helpfull info throughout the training and we couldn’t be happier.

Steph had our Bodie for training and we found the best Dog trainer ever. We had previously had our dog with another trainer for a month.After a week we could see the training was working well at three weeks our Bodie was a completely different dog.I truly can say Steph is the best dog handler/Trainer we have ever used and we have had thirty years of dogs in our family.

We are so grateful for Steph. Our dog participated in the 4 week board and train. She came back to us confident, well-mannered and so responsive. He was very communicative throughout her process and training. We always felt a part it, eventhough she was with him full time. We would do this ten times over if needed! Steph is so trustworthy, knowledgeable and reliable. If you are considering a program like this you won’t be disappointed!

I heard about K9Conditioning from Three Eye Blind a rescue that I foster failed Kodah with. From my first meeting qoth Stephen I knew this was the place for Kodah. He is a very smart dog and I knew he needed some serious structure and direction to thrive. We discussed the challenges I was having with owner dominance and decided on a 4 week board and train. I was provided with multiple daily videos and updates. The board and train comes with some private sessions which he provided 2 at my office which is where we spend most of our day. Stephen went over in detail clear instructions for Kodah. We have one more in home training with Stephen.
I can't recommend K9Conditioning enough, Kodah is a completely different dog and I am so excited for our future adventures! Thank you Stephen!!

Hands down the best around!!
Our dog Koda was fortunate enough to do the 4 week boarding and training program with Stephan and K9 Conditioning. As a 160 pound Boreboel Mastiff, her size, weight and strength intimidated many people and trainers. Not Stephan. When we had our initial conversation and I let him know our concerns, he didn't even bat an eye and knew exactly how to help. I grew up on a farm and trained small and large animals as big as horses and cows. I had reached a point where my skill level and understanding of training fell short for teaching such a large breed dog. Stephan not only jumped right in but took control immediately. While she was away from our care being trained by the best company around, communication never stopped. Stephan texted us daily to let us know what they were working on. Not only that, but he also sent videos showing what he was doing and explained further why he was training something the way he was. It was such a well rounded experience that I would have paid extra for it but he was happy to help and explain. He not only trained my dog but also trained me on how to be a better dog owner. How to ask for exactly what I want and have clear communication with my commands. I have such confidence in mine and my dogs ability to be put into any situation and know we will not only survive but thrive. If you are looking for a dog trainer K9 Conditioning can't be matched. The absolute best around! We will definitely use them again if we are ever in need of training services. The fact that they also offer boarding will be a service we use time and time again. Highly, highly recommend!

We have 4 German Shepherds, one of our pups (Thierry) has a very high work drive which made our daily lives challenging. We couldn’t bring her out in public due to her intensity and need to please. Thierry also had an obsession with any lawn litter and would repeatedly place any pine needle, pine cone, or toothpick sized stick on any part of your body that it would stay on, this was her endless task in life.
Stephan and K9 Conditioning gave Thierry structure that allows her to utilize her instinct and gave us the tools to harness all of that energy. K9 Conditioning has changed her life tremendously and impacted ours just as much.
Stephan was very professional and courteous and gave Thierry and us very personalized attention and support. When he brought Thierry home to us he spent time with everyone in the family making sure we were all comfortable handling her, including my children.
I would definitely recommend this service to anyone seeking help with any aspect of canine training.

This experience has transformed our home. At the end of our dog’s 4 week board and train he came back a different dog to a different family. Dexter used to spend his days barking at everyone that came to the door, jumping up on people & counters, barking at squirrels, fence fighting, and doing his best to ignore any attempt to get hip stop. We were unable to take him around other dogs. Trips to the vet were a nightmare. He would bark and lunge.
He now feels secure enough to let us worry about the door, he is non reactive to other dogs, and he is great on walks! I never thought I would hear someone comment on how well behaved Dexter is. They do!
It was obvious to our whole family that the environment at K9 Conditioning was kind and supportive to Dexter. He absolutely loves the staff there! They keep the number of dogs in training small so our dog got the time he needed & the continued support they offer will help us to not slip back to old behaviors.
We now use K9 Conditioning to board Dexter when we travel. It makes us feel good when he gets excited when we pull up. He loves going to spend time time there! I can not recommend or thank K9 Conditioning enough. They are fantastic!
