Client Success Stories
Don't just take our word for it.
"Highly recommend Joe with Underwood K9 to train your dogs! We have 2 Australian shepherds (full size 6f and mini 7m) that needed some additional training and we did not know where to start. One of our main concerns were the dogs barking and storming the front door when we would get a mail delivery. The female Aussie seemed the most aggressive in those situations. With the help of Joe's e-collar training program, he gave our dogs structure as well as taught them how to walk off leash. This has helped our dogs relax when new people come to our house and also when we get mail deliveries. They have learned several commands, but the most helpful one I think is the "place" command. Joe taught us how to use the commands and was very helpful and patient when we had questions. We had a few follow up training sessions after the program and our dogs continued to improve more each time. Joe is very knowledgeably and takes pride in what he does, and it shows through the training of our dogs."

"We sent our miniature golden doodle, Ollie, to Joe last year. He is a difficult dog with a strong will and desire to control. Joe worked wonders with him, and we are so thankful for the training we received. Not only that, but Joe is a nice person to work with, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him in the process. I can't recommend Joe and his services enough. It is well worth the investment!"
