What Our Clients Say
Landrey Brown
" My two dogs have been going to revival k9 for day trains for months now. My dogs have two very different training needs and Bri and Katie have went above and beyond curating a training plan that targets their individual needs. Both of my pups have been training with revival, and I could not recommend or thank them enough. I can go into public with either of my dogs with a new found confidence in handling them thanks to these two amazing ladies! Thank you for treating and loving my babies like your own!"
Sara McCunn
"Cannot say enough good things about Revival K9 and Bri! Our 8 month old puppy went through the Ideal Canine Program and at her third session she showed SO much improvement! Bri was very communicative and even though Penny was apart of a program if I had any other concerns I saw Bri listened to us and helped work with us during the day and all of our dogs LOVE her and her trainer Katie. We will for sure continue to use Revival K9 and after our program."
Elizabeth Hale
"This team has been so wonderful for our pets and our family. Earlier this year, we added a puppy to the mix who had been removed from her litter far too early. She struggled with boundaries and, of course, had an abundance of energy. Revival K9 has made such huge strides with her, not only alone but developing healthy relationships with her brothers. We're all learning how to co-exist in a healthy and fun environment. I also appreciate the clear and timely communication. I always knew exactly what time my dogs were going to be picked up and dropped off. Photos are often provided during the day through Google docs or on social media. My dogs love them so much that we have used them for boarding as well as training. I'm never concerned for my dogs' safety and they always come back, minding their p's and q's. We are grateful to the Revival K9 team and already have refreshers/boarding booked for the fall. Not because I feel the dogs are backsliding, but we all just benefit so much from their time with the team.
