Southern State K9 التقييمات

From trailer park to TRAINED! This girl is the best thing since sliced bread thanks to Jared and crew at Southern State.
It was always a dream to have a pup not run when the garage door was open, or a one that could be with me at work, or could be present around other dogs and not bark back; our trailer park treasure is that and more.
After rescuing her three months ago, we instantly knew she would be receptive to professional training.
Southern State had her for 1 month of training. The 'basics' go beyond what people assume. We were then trained upon pup pickup at the end to encourage and support her by using the correct cues and verbage.
She has been home for a month now. Not only is she my best friend but, my travel buddy, my therapy pup at work and a family dog; loved by all.
Coming home from our first vacation that had a dog beach, restaurants, downtown walks, golf cart rides and outside zoomies; that she listened to every word, never left our side and had absolutely outstanding mannerisms in public settings.
She is our trailer park adventure of gold thanks to Southern State K-9.

The level of care and attention to the dogs is outstanding. They believe in their method and stand by it, training both the dog and the owner.
Putting my dog through their program took him from a skinny, wild dog to a strong sweet boy who loves to “go to work” and practice his training.
Highly recommend!!

I have a 8 month old Czech GSD and she was a handful! She was with Jarrod and his team for 4 weeks and a totally improved puppy when I got her back. Everything Jarrod said would happen did. Highly recommend them!

I sent my 7 month old dalmatian who was not the best listener and was very timid around men. Jared and his team did an amazing job of instilling confidence in Sailor and giving him the proper tools to be a good boy! Huge shoutout to Olivia who loved my boy like her own and answered all of my questions at go home! Would recommend Southern State to anyone!!

Jared and his team are truly dedicated to the type of training your dog needs. Great training program and well developed.

Southern State K-9 is great. They are very effective and knowledgeable with your dog(and the dog's owner). They taught me and my dog so much. Highly recommend them

I had a training session booked and received no confirmation. Day of the training comes and we are already half way there - they call and cancel the training. Told them to text me new dates for a training session and never heard back. Guy was nice but poorly managed business

I got my dog, Cap, trained a few months ago and he was a lot of a dog, he's a 90 lb American bull dog. Very anxious, super clingy, he would get very overwhelmed and over protective of me when seeing other dogs and people. These guys are seriously miracle workers with him. He was to the point that I couldn't take him out without him attempting to get aggressive with every person or animal we passed. After a month of training Cap, they helped to train me how to better take care of him and handle various situations. I'm by no means perfect with his training routine, but it has made a world of a difference. I can now walk him around other people and animals with minimal barking, he's not nearly as clingy as he was. The guys were awesome from the way they treated my dog, to helping me and being honest with his training and what he needed. I appreciated that they're knowledgeable and up to date on how to deal with behaviors in dogs and had the science to back it up. I would recommend Southern State K9 to anyone who needs help with a more aggressive breed or just training in general, please consider them.

We are so very happy with the training our Maggie girl received here. Not only did they teach Maggie so much they also taught us at the same time. I now have new tools to use on all of our dogs not just Maggie. They have truly changed our lives for the better. Maggie is the happiest she’s ever been. Thanks 🙏🏼 guys.

I highly recommend Jared and his team for dog training services. They trained both of our giant schnauzers and helped us address several behavioral issues. The dogs now behave wonderfully in public, have passed the Canine Good Citizenship test, and are responsive to multiple commands like “place” and “heel.” As large dogs, it was especially important for us that they be well-behaved around other dogs, people, and children. Jared and his team not only trained the dogs but also worked with us to become effective handlers. Their approach was professional, thorough, and effective, and we’re incredibly pleased with the results!

Taking our dog here was the best decision my husband and I could’ve made. She’s a one year old GSD malinois cross with a ton of energy and we struggled with leash pulling, dog reactivity, & some basic obedience. Now she knows how to place in a spot & stay, walks so much better, listens to commands & so much more. What’s even better is how we love that she didn’t lose an ounce of her personality but knows when she shouldn’t be doing something versus when she should be. The owner and trainers are also amazing. Not only did they have her for a little over a month training, but before she left, they taught us how to continue training at home. Not once did I have to worry about if she was being taken care of or not and the communication was always there. They really treat their clients dogs as their own & I couldn’t recommend anyone better!

So happy with the training our dog received! She was a good dog, but needed some manners and discipline. During her month long “doggy boot camp”, she definitely got that and she’s so much happier and well behaved. Highly recommend!!

We sent our 2 year old female Doberman Freya to Jared for a board and train program and it was life changing for both my Husband & I and Freya! Freya was a little fear reactive and a nervous girl, with leash pulling issues. I was starting to get nervous anytime I needed to walk her because I never knew what would happen! It was really effecting both of us.

I never thought I’d be able to send Freya away for four weeks because she’s my baby! But I’m SO glad I did! The improvements she made were really unbelievable. The biggest thing is she came back with so much confidence. She can now play with other dogs in a better way, walk by loud noises and not think we are all going to die, and will walk calmly right next to me. I know if we are on a walk and come across something, I can get her attention and calm her down. Jared really enabled her to have a better life by being more calm and confident with herself and we are forever thankful!! It is so worth the money and time, especially with the training sessions afterwards that really show you how to maintain the behavior. It’s been months and Freya gets so excited to put on her collar and do little training drills in our backyard!

I brought my dog to Jared for the 4-week board and train program and it was the best decision for my dog (and me!). My dog is overly aware of her surroundings and kept barking at other dogs out in public (this was a new habit that started out of nowhere). Jared and his team worked with Rylee to calm her mind and I have seen a huge difference in her behavior. We are now able to take her out in public without worrying about how she will react.

Jared and his team are extremely knowledgeable and you can tell they really care about giving your dog the best training. I can’t thank them enough and will continue to use them for boarding and training!

My dog Boogie was a HUGE (119 pound) menace both in our house and in public. When I called Southern State K-9 Training I truly was at the end of my rope and was worried Boogie would never get better because he has had previous training and it was basically ineffective. They not only came to my house for the initial visit with Boogie, but they put me at ease about the process and reassured me that Boogie is in the best hands possible for his board and train. The thing that made me value their training over others was the in home component where Boogie would be allowed into the home to practice and reinforce the manners he learned around Jared’s family and pets instead of Boogie being in a kennel environment the entire time with zero ability to practice his manners in a home until he came back to us. Jared and Gavin are really talented and knowledgeable about training methods, and I can tell they truly love what they do.

When it was time to pick Boogie up, we were extremely nervous because our previous trainer in Texas did a rushed go-home lesson that did not help us at all. All of our fears were eased when we received an incredibly helpful go-home lesson educating us about not only about Boogie’s training, but also giving us the training we needed as Boogie’s family. All of our questions and concerns were answered so there was nothing left to worry about or fear. To hear Jared tell us that Boogie was out and about not just at Lowe’s and Tractor Supply but Forsyth Park as well made my jaw drop. This couldn’t be Boogie they were talking about, but it was!

I am so happy to have my big boy back and am so proud of the growth he’s made with Jared and Gavin. Our next meeting is in a few days where Boogie will be in a public setting with me so I can learn about his public training and commands. I cannot express my gratitude to Southern State K-9 Training for the work they have done with Boogie. You have truly saved Boogie and have taken the huge weight of anxiety regarding Boogie’s out of control behavior off of my chest. If you are on the fence, do it! You will not be disappointed.

Well worth the time and money. Ducky had a great experience with Jared. It’s been three weeks since she’s been home from board and train (and Jared came to us for at home follow up reinforcement training today!) and she is doing great. He helped us reintroduce us to our five year old dog, and all went very well. We are putting our second dog through this program in December. 100 percent would recommend!

Dexter spent a month with Southern K-9 learning commands and how to be more confident and secure. His vision is impaired by cataracts, so we wanted him to gain some confidence and learn simple commands that would help him in his environment. The handoff was very informative and smooth. The trainers are knowledgeable, straight forward, and treat the animals in their care with respect and patience.

We are looking forward to seeing what all Dexter is capable of now. Hopefully our other pooches will pick up on the training as well!!

We adopted a 1.5 year old Malinois that was super stubborn. Jerred was amazing from the 1st meeting. Our new boy is now doing great! Highly recommend!!

They did an excellent job training my puppy who 8month Boykin spaniel. My puppy is over energetic which can be a lot and they were able to get him to focus that energy on the right direction while my puppy still has his personality. Definitely recommend their service! Thank you
