Patriot K-9 has been great! I brought my pup in for the Empowerment program and my Australian shepherd had the pleasure of working with Abby. From the beginning, she always made sure training was fun for myself and pup. I informed her that I’ve never had a dog so she really walked me through the steps, correcting as needed. Since my pup has so much energy, she went out of her way to bring her dog so they can play and get some energy out. She has a lot of tips and knowledge about dog training! Abby was also very flexible and was able to re-schedule a few sessions when I was out of town or when my dog was sick. Additionally, she would help trim our dog’s nails and she even taught/talked me how to as well. Towards the end of our sessions, she started teaching us some cool tricks! Lastly, she’s always been available to answer questions and provides the best customer service. Training is an on going process, but she’s made it very fun and has helped me build my confidence in training. I’ve seen major improvements to my dogs behavior. I will always suggest her to people and I look forward to working with her more!

We absolutely loved our time with Patriot K9! Abby was a greater trainer for our family and our dog Rogue. We opted for the Empowerment Training and were so glad we did. Abby not only worked with Rogue but also instructed us on how to work with Rogue. I had no idea that some of the ways we were trying to train him were counterproductive. Abby gave us ample solutions to each issue we were experiencing and Rogue has improved greatly during our time with her. I would highly recommend working with Abby if you are looking for dog training.Aside from the training, everyone at Patriot K9 will love your pup. Rogue was always excited to go to training and very excited to see Abby. We are pleased with how we and Rogue were treated, and were slightly sad to have graduated! Fortunately, we will continue on with group classes and park meet-ups.To Abby and the Patriot K9 crew, thank you so much for working with us. We could not have found a better place to train.

I don’t think I can express how much Abby has helped me and my pup. Kahlua started training around April. She was beginning to show signs of resource guarding and in general just needed basic training. From the first session Abby made it fun for us and for Kahlua. Kahlua is really shy and she took the time to make sure she was comfortable always. I can tell Abby forms really strong relationships with her clients and you really become family. In May we lost one of our other dogs and Abby really comforted and help me through it. Also in may we brought a puppy in and she gave me some advice on our little crackhead. I don’t think I’ve ever met a trainer so dedicated to providing excellent customer service and results. We absolutely love her and will never stop suggesting people to her!

Our 8 year old chow mix had been human/dog aggressive for ages, but after a close call during a walk in the neighborhood, I knew that it was time to get professional help. Kara has truly been a godsend from the moment that we started the 4 week day training program. Shes been very patient with our typically less than cooperative dog, and it is clear that she is dedicated to helping dogs and that she takes her job seriously. Weve just finished the third week of the program, and our dogs temperament has evolved completely! Im no longer anxious to go on walks, because Kara has taught me how to be more confident handling our dog. Im so grateful for the frequent text updates from Kara, and for the time that shes willing to spend visiting our dog at our home! We recently did a session at home in an attempt to break our dogs habit of barking at animals on the TV. In less than an hour and a half, Kara had provided me with the tools and detailed explanations that helped our dog lose interest in the TV altogether. Theres still progress to be made, but Im very happy with our experience so far!

Have definitely been meaning to write this for awhile. We took our puppy Bailey in when she was 3-4 months for puppy training with Jaimie. Too say she was amazing is an understatement. She was amazing with Bailey, and taught my fiance and I have to continue to train her at home. Was honestly a little human training as well! Even after the weeks of training, Jaimie is always responsive when I reach out with a text and its not about training sessions or money with them. They really just want to help you and your dog have the best lives together and will do anything to help. So so beyond thankful!

We had a great experience with Patriot K9 and Abby in particular! She took our 8-month old GSP for a 3-week board and train and our pup came back so well behaved.Our biggest pain points were counter surfing, leash walking, and place training and all of those problems were solved after her training. We cant thank Abby enough for her direction, guidance and continued help with our pup. Would 100% recommend!

Truly the best money I’ve ever spent on my dog! We adopted our adult dog from the county shelter, and she has dog aggression issues. We’ve spent the past 2 years stressing out over every walk around the block or trip to the vet. Within a couple of days of their day training program, Kara had completely turned this behavior around. Plus, my dog loves it and is excited to go there each morning. I am absolutely floored by the results and totally recommend them for any dog training needs! The programs, events, and opportunities for continued training that they offer are unlike any other I’ve seen offered!

This is best training venue for your favorite canine buddy hands down! After researching others in the area I concluded that Patriot K Nines services were a good match for my familys needs. Ivy, my Carolina Dog, loves to come here along with my family to learn and grow. Amber and Jamie have provided us with proper techniques that have forever changed our relationship with Ivy. The behaviour program is easy going and well established. Goal oriented techniques and behavior corrections for both Ivy and our family that do not feel out of place nor abusive. Jamies patience is unparalleled with myself and my family as we learn how to train with Ivy and the results are obvious when we are among friends and their canine companions. Thank you Amber and Jamie for the experience that will pay dividends in smiles and love for years to come!

My Sweet Pea ( 1 year old golden retriever) is a totally different dog now after completing her training course with Jaimie. The process was easier than I imagined only because of the trainers and being consistent with my dog. It definitely pays off not only the price but the time and effort put into training your pet. It’s a better life for you but also for them. Now I enjoy taking her everywhere with me and continuing to challenge her and see her behavior continue to improve. Even my friends and family have noticed she is much better. I would recommend Patriot K-9 for any of your pets training!

Jaime has been training our dog, Ruby, for a little over a month. Ruby came in for their misfit program because she was aggressive to other dogs and people. It only took Ruby 2 sessions for her to fall in love with Jaime, which usually would take years to build that relationship! Jaime has impressed us with how much knowledge she has and how much we learned about our own dog! Ruby had problems with our vets and would need a muzzle or sedatives to try get through the appointment.. but Jaime came to our vets to meet me, on her own time, to help with the aggression. By the end of the appointment, Ruby was licking the vets, getting treats, smiling, and wagging her tail! Im so happy we found Patriot and Jaime, she really has made our life so much easier by helping our pup. Thank you Jamie! 😊💕

Where do I begin? My wife and I interviewed, probably 4 dog trainers locally before deciding on Patriot K-Nine. They by far are not the cheapest program that you will find but from our research they were the best overall. The other trainers claimed they could produce results where Patriot K-Nine had the reputation and reviews to back it up. Whenever we asked anyone where to go, this was it. We knew we were in the right place. From the start they were professional and straight forward with us and we knew most of our problems were our fault, but they also didnt treat us like garbage for it either. Home is so much less stressful since getting our dog trained and knowing we have lifetime support takes even more pressure off us. If I could give any one a word of advice about coming here, do it.. make the investment. They are worth it.

I have a 10 month old hyper amazing Lab pup. Our trainer is Jamie and she has worked a total miracle with my baby in just 3wks, we just started. My pup goes to her place , stopped jumping on people and walk normal on a leash now. I look so forward to every Monday and so does my baby, she lets me know when it is time to go!

Abby has been amazing to work with! Always willing to answer my questions, even on her personal time!!!

We worked with Jamie and Abby for two different programs. Both were fantastic and listened to our concerns with our dog. Our dog was eager to learn and always responded well to the staff. Would recommend

This place is legit. We did a 3 week stay and train with Jamie. From our first consultation, i could tell that she loves what she does and is amazing at it at the same time. I was a nervous wreck about being away from my dog for 3 weeks, but she answered my endless questions and made me feel at ease about it. She sent pictures and text updates frequently. She even went as far as making him special treats to help him gain weight (he’s a Great Dane and was a bit underweight at the beginning of his training). She is able to explain the science behind each method of training and put it into terms that we could easily understand. On top of all that, the equipment and resources included with the training make it a great value. We got a bunch of training tools and we can take home to free classes for the rest of his life. Jamie also provides text support and even did an in home session after our training to work on door manners. My dog is doing amazing at home now and we have everything we need to continue working with him ourselves. All in all this company is a 10/10! We are so happy with how our dog is doing and the whole experience. I recommend to everyone, and especially those with large and/or aggressive dogs.

I went to an event this past weekend with a friend that I didnt know was an event for dogs. We both had our pups with us. When we arrived, my 80-pound dog was sure we were at the dog park to play and didnt understand that all the dogs were on leashes. I had Oz in a harness and could not control him. I was approached by staff at Patriot who came bearing a collar to help control my dog. Out of concern for me, she didnt want to charge me for it and intended for me to keep the collar. She put it on my dog and explained how it works. She also explained why the harness I had wouldnt work for teaching control. I had instant control and spend the rest of the event walking a calm dog with one hand on the leash. It was magic! We have a new second dog at home, so I went back to the Patriot tent to purchase a second collar. My husband is very pleased and can now walk the two dogs with ease. The people at this business were so helpful--they literally saved my back and shoulders, allowing me to continue at the event. But they didnt push anything; they just wanted me to be safe with my dog. I will go back to them in a heartbeat as I have training needs. Thanks, Patriot!

I brought my 5 month old puppy in for the 4-week 1-on-1 obedience training with Jamie. Not only did she help me see how obedient my pup can be, she helped build up his confidence. He has blossomed through the whole training process, and I’m excited to see how he continues to progress through the next 3 months of group sessions! Jamie also trained me on how to continue to train my pup, and prepared me for his “rebellious teenage stage”. She gave us both a solid foundation for continuing to build obedience, confidence, and trust. Jamie answered all of my questions promptly & comprehensively (with great illustrations) both in class and throughout the week via text. I definitely recommend working with Patriot k-9, and Jamie especially!

Where do I begin. This is the 3rd time we’ve trusted Amber and her staff with our training needs. Karma started with Patriot K-Nine’s puppy jumpstart, then last summer for a 3 week stay and train, to start her on her Service Dog journey. This past summer we again sent Karma for another 3 week stay and train for further training on being a service dog and to work towards her Canine Good Citizen. However this time we added our new puppy Kaos for puppy jumpstart. Both our girls were placed in the hands of Rachelle and Jen for the training timee. They both kept us well informed on how our girls were doing in their respective training. Once again we were wowed as to the excellent care and training our girls received.Not wasting any time Rachelle started immediately at drop off working with Karma while Jen was getting our expectations for the training and training needs. Today was our pickup day. When we arrived immediately we were wowed again at how our girls were. We were told that even though Kaos being 18 weeks old she wanted to do everything Her big sister did. Rachelle not only explained every aspect of the training our girls received but ensured we had No questions or issues at no time did we feel rushed. Jen was great with the outings she did with Karma and keeping us updated and including pictures. Amber made sure I had the proper paperwork and ensured we had no issues. We had many choices for our training but we’re so glad we chose Patriot K-Nine. Our girls stayed with the trainers at their homes, they were cared for as if they belonged to the trainers. Patriot K-Nine is worth every penny we paid and then some. If you have any Dog Training needs contact Patriot K-Nine you won’t be disappointed.

I am so glad I sought help from Patriot K-Nine. Abby Rice was the perfect trainer for my puppy Scalawag and me. She explained techniques in a way that I could clearly understand. She helped me to “think dog.” 😃Abby was an absolute joy to work with and I highly recommend Patriot K-Nine and Abby for dog training needs. Not only does Patriot K-Nine provide expert training, membership includes continued support (so helpful), attendance at special events, access to their private Facebook group, and online training.What’s not to love?

Patriot K-9 is absolutely amazing all around. My rott-baby had the pleasure of working with Kara throughout their 2 week training and she is a Godsend! They’re all amazing and proficient but my baby responded so well with Kara. She’s patient and I was able to almost instantly notice a huge difference in my baby girl’s behavior. Kara was huge on communicating and had many pointers and knowledge on some of the small issues we’d have with my fur baby. We are truly grateful for Kara’s and all of Patriot K-9’s services!

Patriot K Nines Green Dog Program was excellent! The top notch one on one instruction provided by Abby allowed me and Bingo, my German Shepherd puppy, to learn quickly and efficiently. She ensured any questions I had on training or technique were answered and explained fully. The train the trainer approach allows you to learn quickly and help your dog to reach his max potential. The puppy playtime on Saturdays itself was worth the cost of the program in providing excellent socialization during this critical period in a puppys life. This was of utmost importance to me with a German Shepherd puppy. It allowed Bingo to socialize with many other puppies and people in a safe, supervised environment. We will be enrolling in the follow on Empowerment Program!Update: Bingo has now completed the Empowerment Program. Training was great, with step by step advancement in Bingos training and continued socialization at study halls with other dogs. Bingo now confidently performs obedience commands off leash We both learned the correct method of using an e-collar, avoiding any of the negative effects common when not properly applied or improperly taught. Abby was great at explaining and supervising hands on training until we both had it down pat. Bingo is now a well-trained, happy, and socialized socialized German shepherd who enjoys training and being around other people and dogs. Many thanks to Abby and Patriot K9!

We brought our almost one year old corgi Loki in for a board and train. He had some basic training but we needed help with manners. Our dog was young and trying to show us who was in charge. He stayed with Rachelle for 3 weeks and when we got him back he was a much happier pup. She helped us understand what was puppy behavior and how to work with him. Any questions we had Amber and Rachelle answered. We weren’t one told his behavior was bad breeding or unfixable. We have since moved from NC all the way to the West Coast. First day of our move we found out we had packers who were terrified of dogs because of bad experiences. By the end of the day they were petting and talking to our pup. They were impressed at how good he was. We also have family who are uncomfortable around dogs and they love our dog. During that long drive he did amazing. Everywhere we stopped we were able to take him with us knowing he would be on his best behavior. We lived in Goldsboro, NC at the time of training. We wished we could have lived closer to take him to more training. He still has his friendly crazy corgi personality but he also listens when we tell him its time to calm down. I highly recommend to Patriot K Nine Training starting from day one of a new pup or with an older dog who needs help. All of the dogs we met there were wonderful!

Patriot K9 trained a dog Roscoe I had in my rescue that I did not think would ever be adoptable. Thanks to this Patriot K9 Roscoe was able to be adopted and two years later hes still thriving.

Jamie is phenomenal! Each session was adapted and personalized to train our dog. We had goals and she helped us accomplish those. We were preparing our home for our first baby and she helped teach us the tools to get our dog prepared also. We enjoyed the numerous options of training tools she provided. She spent time answering our millions of questions and helping us feel confident. Jamie is kind and knowledgeable! She worked with our busy schedules to fit in the sessions and even an in-home session. We would highly recommend her and Patriot K-Nine as a whole.

The owner, Amber is awesome! She really works with you one on one to make sure everyone is learning. She provides quality trainers and her training method works. The best part is that you become part of the pack. So even when your pups training is complete you can still benefit from attending group classes and weekend outing. Lola absolutely loves going to a new park every Sunday on the group walks. We totally recommend Patriot K Nine to anyone looking for a comprehensive dog training experience.

Kara is amazing! Decided to take my Dane here for leash manners and to gain confidence. Not even a week in and I saw a difference not only me, but my family. Very professional and she is very flexible with my schedule. Communicate wells and listens to every concern or anything you have to say. Would recommend to anyone especially someone with a Great Dane.

Y’all we have our 1 year old blood hound training at Patriot K-9 with Kara, and wow! He is doing SO WELL. She has gone above and beyond to help with him, help with my scheduling needs and just overall is an amazing trainer! I am so blessed she is working with him. He loves her, and gets so excited every morning we go to training to see her! If you havnt booked with her DO IT! She’s amazing!

Jamie is an outstanding trainer! You can tell that she truly enjoys what she does, and she wants the very best for her clients and their dogs. I highly recommend Patriot K-Nine!

My 6 year old pitbull Moo has had dog aggression since we rescued her, but it had gotten much worse within the last year so we came to Patriot K Nine. We worked with Abby Rice and she was so understanding and knowledgeable in dog behavior. She helped us learn Moos moods and become better dog owners, while training Moo how to focus and listen to comands. Now we can comfortably take Moo for walks where she walks loose leash next to us an no longer lunges at every dog that passes by.

WE LOVE PATRIOT K.My wife and I got a mixed breed pup at the start of COVID. Our boy Apache is all working breeds (GSD, Australian Shepherd, Blue Heeler, and Husky). Also we live in an apartment, and both work full time.We did everything we could with free resources online and trained him ourselves until he was about a year old. By the time we came in Apache could run the gamut of basic obedience tricks, but his behaviors when he wasnt training were making it hard for either of us to want to be at home. Jumping on people, countertops, laundry theft, barking at and fearfulness of other dogs, rushing the door anytime it made a sound, mouthing, and chewing at clothes, chewing the couch, and pawing to the point of drawing blood. Hed often ignore my wifes commands, and could not calm himself down in the slightest. One of the reasons we got him was so I could have a training partner for runs and rucks, but we hadnt considered that at home hed just end up a little ball of chaos.Jamie and everyone at Patriot K Nine are, and will continue to be, the best. Even from consultation day, Jamie was very clear and professional in her explanations of what was going on with our boy, and how those things could be addressed. She is also very compassionate; she obviously loves dogs and being able to provide for the dog owning community. At no point did we feel like we were being sold a magic cure-all, or in this case the 7 SUREFIRE TRICKS TO GET YOU DOG TO CHILL CLICK NOW.Before we got our boy back from the Board and train program, we had already assumed there would be more work to be done, we just didnt know how much. It was NONE yall. Jamie met with our challenge and kicked it in the teeth. Our boy came home and walked a full 20 minutes at a near perfect heel. Met with two of our friends and a neighborhood dog and didnt freak out, and most surprisingly he fell asleep on the couch with us while watching TV. Still not sure if they didnt just switch us out for another dog. Anyone can get on youtube for 10 minutes and teach their dog how to sit, but a change in behaviors like this is a massive win for us.Theyre also very clearly invested in supporting their product. During our take home consultation, Jamie gave us the additional information we needed to be able to maintain his new training base, and improve his calmness over time. Not only do we plan on attending the group classes on the weekend, but I also intend on getting Apache put through their nosework class and anything else theyve got available.DISCLAIMER: If you just want to throw your time and money at a class thatll teach you how to give your pup treats to do tricks then look elsewhere. This is a bang-for-your-buck sort of place. 10 stars if possible.

I was referred to Patriot K-Nine by my dogs veterinarian. Having been from South Carolina I knew very little about the company, but trusted my vet. I have two boxers and they are my children, so I was nervous about potentially leaving my boxer that was in need of training for any amount of time. I scheduled an appointment for a consultation and immediately felt better after talking to Amber. It was decided that my dog Turner would be best suited for the 3 week stay and train program. I was still anxious about being away from him, but Amber and Jennifer were awesome!Jennifer worked with Turner and overcame his stubbornness. She kept me updated and informed which obviously relieved my anxiety. Initially he needed training with house breaking, kennel training, leash walking, and manners in general. Hes home and he walks nicely on his leash, responds to commands, and is much more calm. I look forward to working with him and all that hes learned.If youre looking for basic training, intermediate, or advanced training Patriot K-Nine is the place. They have been professional and have done wonders for my boy. They have the skills and ability to help transform the skills or behavioral changes youre looking for in your pup. I highly recommend Patriot K-Nine no matter where you are located.

Patriot is an EXCELLENT training facility and the best choice we could have made for our Doberman puppy! We have had the best experience with Jamie and Amber, and now have a well behaved boy! We know we always have support if we need it and can always come back to add additional training or freshen up on what we’ve already learned. You will not regret choosing Patriot!

Enrolling our girl Harley in the social misfit program and our boy Havoc in the puppy stay and train program here was the best decision we ever made. Everyone was always extremely professional and helped us with any questions we ever had. We will definitely come back and recommend Patriot K9 to anyone!

I want to thank Amber, Rachelle, Jen and the rest of the staff at Patriot K-Nine Dog Training for all the work they did with our dogs, Chance and Jordan. Me and my wife wanted to correct some behavioral issues they had while we were preparing for the arrival of our newborn daughter. Chance and Jordan are 3 yr old Pitbull siblings that had never been separated and were dealing with a lack of socialization, aggression, obedience, and some other behavioral issues when we sent them in mid December 2020. Their turn around has been remarkable since we sent them for their board and train 4 weeks ago. The staff at Patriot K-Nine kept us updated on their progress and was so helpful the whole time, were so grateful for all the work they did with our first babies. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to train their dogs, it was the best choice we could have made for them. Thank you so much Amber and to everyone at Patriot K-Nine, we truly appreciate everything you did for them and for our family.

I signed my spoiled poodle up for the Day School program for 4 weeks and I’m so glad I did!! Kara took such amazing care of my baby!! She worked with him on separation anxiety, commands, and socialization skills. I felt completely secure leaving my dog knowing that he was safe, being cared for, and learning skills I could not teach him. My dog is no longer nervous and shaky around strangers and other animals. He also now walks confidently on his leash & responds to commands. I definitely recommend Patriot K9 1000%!!!!

My standard poodle puppy, Marcie, had a wonderful time training here! As a novice dog owner, I have gained valuable skills that I can use for years to come with Marcie and future puppies. She offers great advice, has a way with puppies, and as long as you listen and practice, youll have the companion of your dreams.

I admittedly have not used this companys services but after witnessing them in public with their dogs recently I can for certain I never would! While out at Bright Light Brewery one of the trainers who was handling and training a SERVICE DOG became extremely intoxicated! You could SMELL the alcohol on her from FEET away! I would never trust these people to handle my dogs if they are okay with DRINKING while working and I surely would never trust my life and health to a SERVICE DOG trained while under the influence! The poor dog was TERRIFIED and was clearly being mishandled! I felt so bad for the poor puppy being commanded and dragged around by a drunk buffoon in such a stressful situation! If you want your dog to be responsibly and reliably trained look elsewhere! These people are clearly not professionals who care about you or your dogs!

Amber and her staff are absolutely amazing!! They take the time with each owner and dog to ensure they are understanding everything theyre being taught. Amber herself was a K-9 handler in the Army and had years of knowledge herself. I would travel almost any distance just to have her and her staff help me out with training my dog.

The one on one training was great for someone like me who has their first puppy. The group classes and the group walks help reinforce manners and to pay attention with distractions. They want you to be successful with your dog and will help you get there.

Patriot K-Nine may seem like they have a high price tag up front but it gets you access to private classes as well as unlimited group classes and events. My dog is a rescued pit mix and has had an issue with other people and dogs. The group classes and walks has been very helpful in getting her socialized and used to other creatures. Due to the classes and events having people with dogs of all kinds and training needs everyone is very understanding of other dogs behavioral issues making it a much more comfortable environment to help socialize my dog.

We loved working with Amber! Our dog jade had an amazing experience with training! from about 5months old to now 6 years old and counting, the training is still in place and she understands the commands, key words, and tricks we learned years ago!

I needed to be trained as much as my puppy. We have both learned valuable lessons and continue to learn about each other. I really appreciate the opportunity to socialize with other dogs in a controlled and friendly environment. I checked with other trainers and was not satisfied with their response. I highly recommend Patriot K-Nine.

Amber is doing an AWESOME job of helping us to help Molly become the best dog she can be. We love working with Amber; she is very knowledgeable, professional and takes time explain her methods and tricks of the trade. When she said we were going to work on stay I had to laugh since we had no luck with that task at home, Amber shared her secret and within minutes Molly was staying put. Everything we have worked on this far has been successful and I feel confident that Molly is well on her way to being the BEST dog. When we complete Mollys empowerment training we WILL be back for more. Thank You Amber, and Thank You for making us feel right at home.

Absolutely fantastic!!! HIGHLY recommended. Well, well worth the time and expense. We are thrilled with how Patriot K-Nine brought out the best in our dog. We just finished our 12 week Social Misfit program with our year old jack russell mix, Archie, who had fear aggression towards other dogs. He couldn’t even relax with our friend’s dogs in the back yard after trying several introductions. Our training with Patriot has changed that. It brought out his confidence and we are thrilled to see him making new dog friends and being relaxed in public around other dogs. His obedience has improved greatly and we now understand how important it is to really work the basics over and over in all types of scenarios and durations. Splitting the training out into 12 weeks was really helpful as well because we had little goals to build upon as homework from our weekly private class. We would not have been so diligent in training our pup without this structured guidance. Archie has certainly come a long way with Patriot! We are so happy we splurged on this experience. We definitely got a better deal and better instruction than my sister who recently used Sit Means Sit with her dog.

Absolutely amazing place!! Wonderful owner who has a passion for training dogs! 100% recommended. Veteran owned as well!

Quality! My roommate and I did the 2 wk stay and train and our pups came back so well behaved. Recommend taking advantage of their weekend group classes, they definitely help the owner and their pup keep up on their training.

What an amazing team! Thanks for all the hard work and extra dedication. Bailey is doing great and cant wait to stop by and say hi again!

The staff at Patriot K Nine were incredibly attentive to my dog’s specific training needs. Kara, a trainer at Patriot K Nine, was assigned to work with my dog for each class. Therefore, she was able to carefully assess my dog’s day-to-day progress. Kara was incredibly patient with my dog, and maximized the training time she had with her. Additionally, Kara kept me updated throughout the day with pictures of my dog.

My dog Remi did a 30 day stay and train social misfit program with Amber and she was a completely different dog each time we saw her. She was once a fear aggressive dog we couldn’t take anywhere and now she goes out with us constantly. Instead of barking at everyone and being fearful she is confident and seeks affection from strangers. Amber and her team go above and beyond even after training is done.

Love these guys, they were very patient with me and my pup. Their knowledge is endless!

We found this on-line and went in and sat down with owner to see if the training would benefit our dog.We put our dog through the class and her behavior has improved.Staff is very friendly, helpful and easy to work with, we are pleased with them

I absolutely love them! We were so worried about our German Shepard puppy getting the right training and love but Jamie absolutely quelled those fears and did such an amazing job! She taught him well, and broke down the commands for us and helped us to understand the training and his behavior. I absolutely love the group classes because it helps to socialize our boy and we get training time in. Knowledgeable trainers and just great people to work with.

This is the best place to take your dog to.I wouldn’t trust anybody else‼️‼️

Absolutely Awesome! I brought my 4 year old Belgian Malinois rescue to be evaluated because of aggressive behavior towards other animals and people. I needed to learn how to properly manage her and she needed to learn to obey my commands. I was immediately impressed with Amber and her facility. I signed Samantha up for an Empowerment program and WOW! am I pleased with how much we have learned in just the first two training sessions. Sam is responding to my commands and I am not afraid of terrorizing my neighbors and their pets anymore. There are various programs offered tailored to you and your dogs needs. I highly recommend Patriot K-nine Dog Training and Im so looking forward to my upcoming training sessions.

As a first time dog owner, I looked for guidance on how to effectively communicate to my puppy so I enrolled him in the 2wk Puppy Jumpstart. The professionalism at Patriot K-Nine far surpassed my expectations, and we learned so much more than general research (i.e. Youtube & Google) afforded us. Additionally, my chaotic schedule was accommodated in every way during the holiday season. We are truly grateful for Patriot K-Nine and we are excited for continued training. Worth every penny, I cant recommend these guys enough.

Excellent staff. Some of the best dog trainer I have ever met. During my training sessions, I am shown how the training is conducted with proper demonstration and techniques. Then I am allowed to do it myself to make sure I grasped the content. And even if I dont get it right the first time I am coached professionally and given the chance to do it right. I am so happy I was referred to Patriot K-Nine. And they have club membership perks that no other company has. I am so happy with company. Thank you so much!!!!

You will not be disappointed in the quality training you get here!!

Patriot K-Nine was the best decision we made for our pup. Amber tailored our lessons to our dog’s specific issues, and extended services for free because of covid-19 restrictions. She even gave us additional training tips beyond the package we purchased. Plus, she was also available one night to help when we were having a particularly difficult time with our pup. With Patriot K-Nine you get top-notch training, socialization with every class on top of group events, and incredible customer service. Thank you Amber!!

Awesome love them they give the advice tools experiences they went threw an more to help u succeed in learning an taking care of your best friend on a deeper level.

Amber was a great trainer for both me and my dog. During our scent work training, she took the time to give me an overview of the process and then made sure I understood each step as we worked through it with my dog. In addition, she made me aware of how my actions and body language could affect my dogs responses.

Loved my training with Amber. Wilbur was a crazy dog and being able to figure out he actually was trainable was a godsend. Wilbur is still goofy but much better behaved. Thank you!!! Very excited to start E-Collar training this week :)

Patriot K-9 gave me the tools and support I needed to be the best dog mom! Amber started with my puppy at 10 weeks old and I was immediately impressed in how fast Luna learned all of her basic commands. Now at four months old, Luna is so well behaved, listens, and continues to be very teachable. I cant wait to begin the group classes and social outings.

Excellent staff. Nala and I love working with both Amber and Jaime. During the sessions, they teach us the techniques, we implement those during the week while working with the dogs and then go to the next phase of training the following week. In addition, I love the extra perks such as the trail walks. The dogs still learn skills and get to socialize with other dogs. I would highly recommend!

Patriot K-Nine successfully tailors their training techniques to the specific needs of the dog. Working in a busy veterinary practice, Im asked regularly to recommend a trainer. Ive seen the happy faces of dog owners who are so very grateful for the services theyve received. Keep up the great work!

WOW. Where do I start? Currently bringing my deaf dog here for dog reactivity and basic obedience . The level of professionalism and care they take with him is fantastic! I feel as though they love him as their own puppy. They have given me the tools to be a much more successful dog owner! So happy I found them!

In December we sent our then 20 week old Rottweiler Karma to be trained by Amber and her staff at Patriot K-Nine. Karma entered the 2 week Puppy Jumpstart Stay and Train. We didn’t get her until she was 13 weeks old and we were late to socialize her. Amber sent us back a very well behaved puppy with a great foundation for further learning. Amber and I had discussed our intent to have Karma return when she gets older for more training and eventually become a service dog. Fast forward to this July now Karma was a year old Rottie coming back to Patriot K-Nine for another board and train this one being 3 weeks. We we paired with Alyssa who was absolutely awesome. When we returned to he Karma she was very patient with us and our 2 girls. She went over everything Karma had learned, showed us and answered our every question. At No time during our pickup did we feel rushed or like we were just another number. Alyssa even commented to us that as excited Karma was to see us shows how much we loved and cared for her. Alyssa did great with teaching our girls how to continue Karma’s learning as she did with my wife and I. When she saw we all had a good base to continue her learning Karma was released to us and with all the necessary tools to continue training. We discussed our plan for Karma’s more advanced training. It was obvious that Karma was cared for during her stay like she was their own dog. That is why we chose to drive from Charleston SC to Fayetteville, and we will continue to do so. Alyssa was very knowledgeable in her craft as is Amber and her other stay we worked with. If you haven’t consulted with them on you dog you’re missing out and should set an appointment with them. Keep up the Great Work. We plan on seeing you soon for some group classes as well

Excellent trainer! Amber is a firm but supportive voice in the dog training community, her heart of gold is obvious when you first meet her.Ive had the privilege of watching Amber work with some of the most difficult cases and she handled them with great success. She is ethical, professional, and talented as a leader for both owners and their dogs.She is one of the most accomplished women I know and she is clearly caring. I completely trust Amber and anyone would be lucky to have their dog trained by her.

Amber has been working with us since our pup was 12 weeks old. I am a first time dog owner and she helped build not only my confidence in owning a dog, but my confidence in raising one as well. My pup can be super stubborn (part husky) and Amber helped me learn how to work t through that. As for my dog, he is still a high energy puppy but his attention span has increased dramatically and he is much better behaved at home. While they are not the cheapest obedience in Fayetteville they are most definitely worth it! The support they provide and continue to provide after your sessions will always put them above the rest.

I have used Patriot K9 for basic obedience, behavior modification training, and boarding for a two week period. My family and puppy absolutely love Amber. She has been a miracle worker on my dogs behavior and a life saver for boarding. I 100% recommend them to anyone and will continue to use their services as long as Im in NC.

Im beyond grateful for the training services Ive received with and from Amber. Shes been a Godsend on aiding me in training my service dog, and helping me gain the freedom my service dog grants me. I cant begin to express the knowledge, understanding, compassion, and expertise she has exhibited in the past year but I would recommend to anyone looking for any kind of dog training, from puppy to advanced obedience. Amber has been amazing in ensuring I know what Im doing, whats is next, how Im going to help my dog accomplish the task and whats terrier of me to ensure it happens. I cant even fathom going to anyone else for any dig training services no matter how big or how small. Patriot K-Nine will be where I go for my next service dog, no matter how many years from now that is.

Great company, I can’t say enough good things about Amber and Jamie. They really know what they are doing and go out of their way to take care of you and your dog. I appreciate all that they do and if you go somewhere else you are really missing out. Don’t waste your time, go see these ladies! You won’t regret it.

Jamie with Patriot K-Nine was AWESOME! She has taught me and our sweet Boxer puppy the foundations of basic obedience and has given our family skills to continue training and raising the Best pup we can! Jamie is a wealth of knowledge and provided so many tips and tricks we will use day in and day out as our puppy grows. She was also extremely flexible with scheduling and we would definitely recommend Patriot K9 to all in search of Top Notch professional dog training!

One of the best trainers Ive ever seen, she has a lot of experience. Amber is very professional. She can handle all types of dogs, sizes and breeds.. it doesnt matter. Ive known Amber for years, but Ive never seen her work. My first actual experience with Patriot K-Nine was getting to observe a training session where she worked with a human aggressive rescue pit bull. He was fearful and bit her a couple of times, which would have scared me but it didnt phase her at all. After a few weeks of training I was in total shock to see that not only was that dog coming up to her for affection, but the owner was able to take the dog in public and let complete strangers pet him. I was amazed, a total night and day difference! After seeing that, I will honestly never recommend anyone else nor go to any other trainer. My dogs love her and get so excited to be around her, she is simply amazing with dogs. You have to see it..

They are super friendly and passionate about training dogs. Very knowledgeable I highly recommend using their services. My dog is currently enrolled in their program and we see promising steps towards him becoming obedient already.

If I could give it a 10 star review I would! They are absolutely FANTASTIC! I loved them! We did the puppy obedience training, and Jaime was absolutely wonderful with our pup Hercules. He was a bit anxious starting, and had a terrible issue with jumping and bad play biting with other pups, and after training, he is a lot calmer, and happy as can be! Thank you guys for everything! We will be coming back for intermediate!

Peanut and I had an amazing time training with Jamie! She taught me tricks of the trade to train my furbaby on my own and was very accommodating with my crazy schedule. Definitely got my money’s worth. Highly recommend them! Plus you get 6 months of support and trail walks with current and graduated clients!

My fur-boys love it when they go here. Their treated with respect and they earn the trust of your dog before anything else.Very clean environment.

Patriot K-Nine Dog Training has greatly helped my over energy pomsky. The team is very professional, and gets to the point of what needs to be done to help improve your dogs behavior. Amber and Jamie have been amazing in teaching what I need to work on also with training my dog. They have great experience and know what they are doing. Thank you guys! Take their advice and suggestions and you will see a good change in your dogs behavior. Max is so calm compared to before! I can’t wait to start our next puppy!

Wonderful and very knowledgable trainer, made my family feel very comfortable and at ease quickly. Amber (the trainer) was able to answer all of our questions and explain everything aspect of the training, so that we understood the importance behind the methodology being used and why. I definitely recommend this company and this trainer for anyone looking for assistance. No matter how complicated or how basic your needs are Amber will fulfill and exceed them with professionalism, and experience. You will not regret making her the trainer for your dogs and family.

My two dogs Sooka and Kane were friends at first. After about 6 months they started to hate each other and fight all the time.Thanks to Amber Sooka and Kane are slowly learning to live with one another again.So if you a dog trainer look no farther.

I took my dog to Patriot K-Nine for aggression issues, primarily with other dogs and males. No one ever likes to talk about their dog’s aggression problems, but it was such a comfortable environment where you can share all of your concerns. We worked on a lot, including basic obedience, and they helped me be more confident as well as my dog. She is COMPLETELY different around other dogs now and not phased by random males anymore. Amber and Jamie are great people, they have great dogs to work with, and it’s a great program. I also would like to add that after your training sessions are up, you can go on trail walks every week with other dogs to keep up socialization which I think is amazing. I’d reccomend to anyone!

I was amazed that she got my rascals to behave and calm down for their nails clipped and grinded down. She’s out of this world and now has a customer for life! What a team!

Excellent knowledge, very patient and always going the extra mile for me and my dog. I highly recommend them.

Amber is one of the best trainers I know. She gives the best advice for your dog and tells you how it is.

My experience with ilektra Kirby its amazing, the word amazing its short,, I have a rescue baby named Riley, he is afraid of humans was a stray feral dog, no human interaction, ilektra worked with Riley since day one she saw him. She got him to eat from her hand, he let her touch her, rub his all body towards her..Riley never never have done that before, she explained to me step by step Rileys issues and how to work with him at home, Riley walks without growling and barking at people he just ignores them and this is all thanks to ilektra and her hard experience work with him, Im forever grateful to her..I recommend her without any doubt.. Shes amazing

I enjoyed and highly recommend patriot k9 training. It no longer takes a hour to get my gsd in the house when called. Thank you Jaime and Amber

Awesome trainer!

Did wonders for our dog, assisted with issues that our rescue dog was having we now have a well behaved trained dog. She taught us how to be better dog owners & the dos & donts we were doing. Thank you again!

Amber is the best trainer!

Absolutely fantastic Dog Training!
