Coastline K9, Naples FL

Evina and the Coastline team had our pup Kimba for 6 weeks for behavior modifications.
Evina’s training method has made such a difference in our ability to handle every day situation with less to no reaction from Kimba. Thank you Evina and the Coastline team.

We took our Australian Shepherd puppy for a '4 week stay' training course. She suffered from extreme shyness and anxiety. The team were fantastic walking us through that they would do. They kept us in touch with videos and photos throughout the stay. Answered any questions we had, and when we picked her up they took us through a full training ourselves on what they had done and how we can continue the work. I would recommend them to anyone!

Selecting a personal protection dog for our family, including our two young daughters, was a significant decision. After extensive research and visiting various companies, Coastline K9 in Naples, Florida, stood out as the clear choice, and our experience with them confirmed we made the right decision.

The professionalism at Coastline K9 was evident from the start. Erick, who first responded to our inquiry, provided thorough and insightful discussions about our family's needs, setting a solid foundation for our journey. Our household dynamics, including other pets and regular travel to busy places (Disney World and snowboard trips), were carefully considered in guiding us to the right choice.

Our visit to Coastline K9's facility was a pivotal moment in our decision-making process. Their dogs exhibited an ideal blend of discipline and gentleness, crucial for a family with young children. My daughter Everleigh's positive interactions with the dogs were particularly reassuring.

Choosing Nala, as recommended by Erick, was a decision based on his deep understanding of our family's needs. The dedication of the Coastline K9 team, especially during the turnover process, was remarkable. They adapted to our busy schedule, conducting extensive, late-night (often after midnight) training sessions tailored to our specific situation. This level of commitment far exceeded our expectations and reflected their dedication to Nala's successful integration into our family.

An integral part of our experience was working with Breton, Nala's primary trainer. His involvement was crucial in both the training and turnover phases. Breton's expertise in dog training and his deep connection with Nala were evident. He led many of our education and training sessions, sharing his extensive knowledge and ensuring we were comfortable and confident in handling Nala. His ability to translate complex training methodologies into practical, everyday scenarios was invaluable. It was initially bittersweet to observe Nala's attachment to Breton, knowing she was to become part of our family, but witnessing the transition of her loyalty to us was incredibly rewarding.

The scenario training was a standout aspect of our experience. Coastline K9 meticulously prepared us for various real-life situations, ranging from potential break-ins at our office to encounters at gas stations. This training was not only practical but also eye-opening, significantly boosting our confidence in handling Nala and potential real-life threats. The team's expertise in scenario planning and execution was impressive, providing us with a realistic understanding of how to work with Nala in different environments.

The ongoing support from Coastline K9, including follow-ups and discussions about Nala’s adjustment to our home and interaction with our other pets, highlights their commitment to their clients and dogs.

Our experience with Coastline K9 has been so positive that we have already made plans to purchase additional personal protection dogs from them in the coming years. This decision is not just based on our satisfaction with Nala, but also on the trust and relationship we have built with Erick, Breton, and their team. We are confident that any future dogs from Coastline K9 will be as well-trained and suited to our family as Nala has been.

In summary, our experience with Coastline K9 has been extraordinary. Nala has seamlessly integrated into our family, providing both security and companionship. The extensive time investment, personalized training, and the exceptional care from Erick, Breton, and the entire team at Coastline K9 have left us deeply satisfied. We wholeheartedly recommend Coastline K9 to anyone in search of a well-trained personal protection dog that fits perfectly into their family life.

My dog has been improving with every session, & I'm VERY grateful we were referred to Eric, & Alyssa! Seriously 5 Star facility, it's like doggy playground!
She is gaining confidence, & she loves her training sessions w Eric! This training is dog psychology class for humans, & has helped us communicate better with our service dog! We're looking forward to our/her growth, & advancement as we continue training with Coastline K9. This place is the Dogjmahal!

I brought my year old German shepherd here to be trained and my experience looking back a year later has been incredible. They turned my sweet undisciplined shepherd into an obedient young man. They treated him like their own and made themselves available every step of the way for me to ask questions and continue his training after pickup. They truly care and treat the dogs with so much love and they are extremely smart with the way they approach training. If you're looking for a highly productive training staff that treats your dog with love and respect and maximizes the relationship you can have with them, then you found your place. Grateful for finding Coastline K9.

Attention to details clients needs and wants nothing is overlooked at @coastliknek9. Best part is coastline also creates community and new friends. It’s something we are all proud of and confident knowing we have this amazing team. Thank you Erick, Evena, Brett. Best crew hands down.

Our family called coastline K9 for our Great Dane rescue after he was showing signs of what we now know as fear aggression. We met Evgenia at Coastline for an initial consult. Evgenia explained the program to us and the training that would be provided and we decided to sign our our pup up. And it turned out to be the greatest decision for our family.
After six weeks at board and train our dog has made amazing progress. During his entire stay, we were updated on his progress and sent videos of the training. We are forever grateful. Thank you Evgenia and the staff at Coastline K9!

I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with the exceptional care and training that my furry friend received during his 4-week stay at Coastline K9. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that this place is a cut above the rest.

First and foremost, the staff at Coastline K9 are true professionals who genuinely care about the well-being and happiness of every dog in their care. They took the time to get to know my dog's unique personality, needs, and goals, ensuring that his training program was tailored to his specific requirements. Their expertise and dedication truly shone through in every interaction.

The facilities at Coastline K9 are top-notch. The spacious and immaculately clean kennels provide a comfortable and secure environment for the dogs. The training areas are well-equipped and thoughtfully designed, allowing for both indoor and outdoor sessions depending on the weather. It's clear that a lot of effort has been put into creating a safe and stimulating environment for the dogs to thrive.

During my pup's stay, I received regular updates and progress reports, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to see the positive changes taking place. The trainers went above and beyond to ensure that I was kept informed and involved in the process. Their transparency and open communication were greatly appreciated.

The highlight of my dog's stay was undoubtedly the training program. The trainers at Coastline K9 have an incredible knack for understanding dogs and teaching them in a positive and effective manner. My dog returned home with a newfound sense of obedience and confidence, thanks to the structured and personalized training program. The trainers also provided me with valuable tools and techniques to continue reinforcing the training at home, which has been immensely helpful.

Coastline K9 truly exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Their commitment to excellence, professionalism, and genuine care for dogs is unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional training and care for their furry companions. I will definitely be returning to Coastline K9 for any future training needs.

I had Erick and his lovely wife personally come to my home and help my roommate and I understand the full training process, from taking Ls to taking wins. This company had me iffy at first but has fully regained my trust and respect. Definitely recommend. Thank you truly!

My 2 year old Cane Corso completed a 4 week board and train with Coastline and I’m amazed with her progress. Prior to her stay with Coastline, she was extremely nervous and insecure in most situations and environments. Now, she is much calmer and focused on me regardless of the environment, and Coastline provided me with the knowledge and training I need to lead her through any situation. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, and from the moment I dropped her off with them I knew she was in good hands. I received videos showing her training and progress throughout the duration of her stay, as well as messages from her trainer on how she was doing. I wish I had found Coastline sooner, and I highly recommend them if you’re facing challenges with your dog!

From the moment I contacted ‘CoastlineK9’, I knew my experience would be extraordinary. Their specialization in customizing personal protection dogs is not just a service, it’s an art form. The staff displayed unparalleled expertise and a deep understanding of canine behavior, ensuring that the training was tailored perfectly to both my needs and my dog’s unique personality. They were able to match me with a dog that would fit each and every of my priorities and needs.

What truly sets CoastlineK9 apart is their commitment to aftercare. Their follow-up sessions and availability for advice reassured me that they are invested not just in the training, but in the long-term wellbeing and performance of their animals.

Their facilities were top-notch, clean, and safe, reflecting the high standards of their training program. Every interaction, from consultation to training sessions, was professional, informative, and beyond satisfying.

CoastlineK9 didn’t just train a personal protection dog; they delivered a loyal companion, a fearless guardian, and peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking the best in personalized protection dog training. Their excellence is evident in every aspect of their service, making them the gold standard in this field.

THIS PLACE IS A RIP OFF MY DOG IS WAY WORSE OFF

DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH YOUR DOG

I recently had the pleasure of using the services of Coastline K9, and I cannot recommend them enough! From the moment I dropped off our Belgium Malinois, Honey, I knew they were in good hands. The facility was clean, spacious, and had all the necessary amenities to ensure a comfortable stay for my dog.

The trainer, Brenton, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He took the time to understand my dog's unique needs and tailored a training program specifically for them. I was amazed at how quickly my dog responded to their techniques and commands. It was evident that Brenton genuinely cared about the well-being and progress of my dog.

Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing that my dog was happy and thriving. Brenton also provided me with valuable tips and advice on how to continue the training at home, ensuring a smooth transition.

What truly sets this dog board and stay trainer apart is their dedication to creating a positive and loving environment. The staff genuinely cared for each and every dog, providing them with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. It was evident that my dog was not only well-trained but also genuinely enjoyed their time at the facility.

Overall, I couldn't be happier with the experience I had with Coastline K9. They exceeded my expectations in every way, and I will definitely be using their services again in the future. If you're looking for a top-notch trainer who genuinely cares about your dog's well-being and provides exceptional training, look no further!

5 stars are not enough to describe my acquisition of our absolutely amazing Belgian Malinois from Coastline K9. If I could leave 10 stars, I absolutely would. Our experience started in June of '23. After losing my "soul dog", I knew my next would have to be absolute perfection. We researched breeders and trainers across the nation. Through referrals backed up with our own comprehensive research, all arrows pointed in the direction Coastline K9. Simply put, their dogs, their entire staff and their facility are the absolute best. They steered me through the entire process and matched me with the most perfect dog I could ever imagine. Dealing with the aftermath of a severe motorcycle accident and having a family, I now have a dog that tends to all of my needs AND protects everyone I love. She does it all! When she isn't working and being our protector, she's all pup and the best snuggler ever! Coastline K9 trains their dogs to be everything you want and need. You truly get a super dog; and that's an understatement. Yes, I could literally go on all day how great Zen (my Malinois) is. And if you're around me enough, I will! With that said, it cannot be said enough how INCREDIBLE the entire staff is at Coastline K9. Erik, Alyssa, Olivia, Rob, Breton and Evina are absolute professionals and the kindest, easiest going people to be around, which is a huge bonus when part of buying a dog from them is that 5 days of on site training is included. We were at our home, business, favorite restaurants, etc to acclimate Zen to our life. They even went out on our boat to give us proper water training for her! If you want the best dogs available to be your service dog, personal protection dog, or both, please go to Coastline K9. Thankfully, for our own needs, we are located only 45 minutes from their facility. However, over the 4 months we've worked with them, we've witnessed their dogs sent to states all over the country from Wyoming to the Hamptons and more. In addition, Coastline K9's client list is full of celebrities, pro athletes, titans of industry and more. Yet, even if you're like us, just a regular family, they treat you like royalty. We consider every one of them a friend at this point and will absolutely purchase another dog from them in the future. 10 Stars for Coastline K9!

Our family received K9 Judo the end of August and the turnover experience was wonderful! Erick, Alyssa, and his Coastline K9 team to include Olivia and Evina were absolutely phenomenal in all aspects. The education and training made us better dog owners and handlers without a doubt. Their desired goal at the end of turnover was to ensure us as handlers were comfortable and knowledgeable to handle and work with our new family member and there is no question that they prepared us to the full extent possible. We have two Labradors to add to the mix so it was very important to us that we could all co-exist under one roof and that was made possible through proper introductions and education provided throughout the week.

Olivia and Evina worked with our normal work week schedule that happens to start very early in the morning. They got up to run with us and they went to the gym to show us how to maneuver our daily routines with our new boy.

Erick, Alyssa and their team at Coastline K9 are the best of the best. You see this in every avenue of their business. From Day 1 they were so knowledgeable, kind, and great to get along with and educate us throughout the process. Eric helped us pick the best dog for our lifestyle and the way we live. They are true professionals and their dogs are top notch. They treat their clients as part of their family and we are very blessed to be apart of the CK9 family.

If you are looking for one of these K9’s then look no further as CK9 is where you want to be.

Coastline K9 exceeded my expectations with their dog training program. I recently purchased a Belgian Malinois named Trauma from them, and she is not only highly trained in self-protection but also has a great personality. She makes me feel safe and is a wonderful companion.

The team at Coastline K9 displays expertise, dedication, and a very positive environment for the growth of their dogs. They are so welcoming and knowledgeable. CK9 goes above and beyond with their turnover process. Erick, Alyssa, and Olivia traveled to our home in Wyoming and helped smoothly transition Trauma into my life, and ensure that I will be be able to continue her training successfully. I highly recommend Coastline K9 for their exceptional training and the happy, well-trained dogs they provide. Thank you, Coastline K9, for the incredible work!

Our Cane Corso, Nala, spent 6 weeks at Coastline for behavior modification. She went from being very fearful and reactive to new people, noises, and situations to relaxed and focused on her commands. We can now confidently take her out to stores and on hikes as a member of the family. Because of the training with Evina, I feel confident in my handling abilities and have gotten several compliments on how well behaved Nala is.

These K9’s are no joke and very well trained. The owners and staff were absolutely amazing and so friendly. My husband had the best time as he has wanted to do this forever. Thanks for a great time.

This company is absolutely amazing. The owners and staff are extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend, will continue to use their service and send all my friends to them. No one better in the business

Staff is fun, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The facility and house are neat/clean. Trainers are great at communicating with you and want you to feel secure with your dog handling skills as well. If you’re looking to find dog training or protection dogs, coastline k9 is 1000% the place to be looking into
