K9 Mania Dog Training, Deer Park NY

The overall experience is great to get your dog on the right track. Dominique was awesome she did an amazing job for us.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nick and Janine. Jack was full of anxiety, would pace the house barking at everything, rude to guests and impossible to walk because he would lunge, pull and try to escape his leash. He’s now calm, walks right next to me, and is just the sweetest happiest dog. Best money I have ever spent. So grateful!

Thank you Janine and Nick for all your help and guidance with Theo. You helped us accomplish every goal we set with Theo and you did it with the attention and passion as if he were your own dog. Thank you for giving us all the tools we need to ensure Theo has a happy and safe life.

These photos never could have happened with out Criselda. She changed our relationship with our Jinx and Penny. They were reacting to each-other and we couldn’t keep them together in a room. They would fight and physically hurt each other. Now they are snuggling and able to listen to commands we have the tools to handle any fight and our dogs are happy and loving to each-other again.

At first I was very hesitant about leaving my “Wolf” (Siberian Husky) at the facility for an entire month but during that first week Olivia the (Trainer) for Wolf was very kind and super helpful responding to all my questions and even sent texts, emails, and photos of my dog. She also explained his ongoing progress few times a week. She reassured me that Wolf was safe and was being quite a student, responding to his new commands. I myself have learned the commands and use them on my dog daily and I feel that going forward, I will recommend Mania K-9 to everyone who is currently experiencing issues with their dogs such as stubbornness. I had a huge issue with walking my dog. I used a harness and He used to walk me! Now I can easily walk my dog with a single leash, and there’s no pulling whatsoever. He strolls right by my side with no pulling, which is so important to me! I am truly grateful for Olivia at K-9 Training. That young lady has done wonders for my Wolf! I will also be attending the classes soon for the dogs and the parents with the Team as well. Thank U, Thank U, and Thank U.

After trying a few other trainers with little success, we decided to go with k9 mania. We chose the 5 week hybrid course. Our trainer was Criselda. She is a very knowledgeable, passionate trainer. Our dog, Henry, was skittish, reactive, and very difficult to control on a leash. With the guidance and patience from Criselda, Henry showed improvement each and every week. The best part about this program is that while he is learning, Criselda is giving us the tools and confidence to get the most out of our dog. If you are looking for a dog trainer, I would highly recommend using k9 mania.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dog training experience for Scruffy with trainers Nick and Janine. Not only have we seen remarkable improvements in his behavior, but we've also found that walking him has become a much more enjoyable and stress-free activity. He's become noticeably better behaved around other dogs and people, which has made outings more pleasant for everyone.

One valuable insight for those considering hiring a dog trainer is that while the training service equips you with the essential tools and knowledge, it ultimately requires ongoing effort and commitment from the owners to fully reap the benefits. The trainer provides the guidance, but it's up to the owners to consistently apply what they've learned to achieve lasting results.

In summary, our experience with dog training for Scruffy has been highly positive, and the positive changes in his behavior have significantly enriched our lives. Steve & Anna

Sent my dog Milo (3 years old) there for Board and train right before giving birth. The process was super professional, they send pictures while the dog is with them to make the time apart easier. They tailor the training to what you want to work on. Our trainer was Criselda she is really nice and professional. Milo is so much calmer now, Criselda help me give him a good foundation to be a well behaved dog. Would definitely recommend.

Monica our trainer changed our life! She was truly so kind to us and her passion for dogs was truly so impressive! We were struggling and weren’t sure what to do but Monica fixed that! We felt so comfortable asking her questions and it was never rushed. She has a tremendous amount of knowledge and was so engaging. Monica has given us the ability to give our dog commands and an environment where she can get excited but also relax. I couldn’t recommend her enough. It was a pleasure to work with her. We will forever be thankful!

I was extremely hesitant about doing a board and train because had never done that in the past and especially since our dog is a rescue I didn't want him to feel abandoned. Even though he is a very high energy dog no matter how much physical exercise he got he had this anxiety and nervousness all the time, then he started nipping and although he was not trying to hurt us and wasn't aggressive it started getting pretty bad. I knew I had to get some help with training. We went in for the consultation and Sophia is awesome, she explained everything, addressed all my concerns and most importantly to me I could see they clearly love and care for the dogs so I knew this was definitely the rite place! Within the first week with his trainer Dominique (who was also amazing and he loved) I couldn't believe the difference so quickly. She kept me updated the entire time including videos showing they're progress, pics and even took him out on field trips. She was extremely thorough in making sure we knew exactly what to do and understood everything. He walks with me on lease now instead of pulling, he doesn't bark and pull when he sees other dogs he wants to play with and he is so much calmer and confident now! Sorry I know this was very long but if you are looking for training for your dog I couldn't think of a better place!

We will gladly give K9 Mania 5 out of 5 stars! K-9 Mania has amazing trainers that truly try to help you connect with your dog as well as training them appropriately. We appreciate their time, their patience, and their expert abilities when training our little girl, Zora. We are grateful to have found Janine and Nick. They not only taught us proper training techniques but they made us grow a stronger bond with our dog. We recommended Nick and Janine to everyone and anyone interested in dog training.

Nick and Janine have been awesome! Our pup had such bad separation anxiety that he was destroying our house! He is now a calm well adjusted dog who is great both in our home and out in public! Nick and Janine’s training methods are not harsh or negative. The “ homework “ is easy and enjoyable to do. Each training session is tailored to your specific need/want. I highly recommend them!

Truly recommend their board & train program. I previously did the at home classes but with life getting in the way & my dog being sick for a long period we didn’t train him as we should. Now that we got him back after 5 weeks, my stubborn chow chow listens to us way better. Now we enjoy taking walks with him because he doesn’t pull us no more. He has behavioral issues that we are working with still but he’s doing great & listen to his commands. Deff. Recommend.

Charlie had a difficult time when my daughter was born. He never liked new people coming to the house. It would take over an hour for him to calm down and we often had to use anti anxiety medication. We couldn't even open our blinds.
Since his return home hes a completely different dog. Charlie is doing a great job not only with my daughter but my sister came for a weekend visit and he was phenomenal. Only took 15 minutes for him to calm down and sit with her. My wif and I were in utter shock!

K9 Mania is hands down worth the investment. I brought my 11 month old French bulldog Jax to K9 mania with hopes we could get him to be a good listener and crate train him! The progress we saw in 3 weeks was amazing. We loved the video and photo updates throughout the process. Criselda was great with Jax and with me as we both had a lot of learning to do when it came to obedience training. I would recommend this place to anyone considering it. Can’t thank the staff enough.

My Pomeranian, Maggie, had many issues with aggression in various ways. She is so much better. She listens on walks, doesn’t even need a leash from house to car she stays right by my side. She knows all the commands and is a much happier dog!

I cannot express enough gratitude for everyone at this facility! I highly recommend them to anyone in need. Their customer service is exceptional, receiving a perfect 10/10 rating from me.

Harvey had a tendency to react strongly to other dogs. However, he was never aggressive and instead always wanted to play and greet every dog we passed by. This made it extremely challenging to walk him without him constantly pulling and tugging on the leash. At times, he would even throw himself in the air out of excitement. I used to describe him as "overly friendly" with other dogs. His behavior before often left me feeling embarrassed when taking him for walks or outside. Now, he doesn’t even care when another dog walks by us. I feel like he’s a brand new dog!

I want to give a special shoutout to Kali for her incredible work with my boy. I cannot thank her enough for the progress she has made with him. Her passion for her work shines through in every progress video that was sent and session we attended. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure Harvey’s progress and provided me with valuable guidance and support. Her ability to communicate clearly and demonstrate proper techniques have made me confident in continuing training at home.

Not only did Kali help Harvey become more well-behaved, but she also helped me feel more confident and empowered as a dog owner.

I urge you to make your way here ASAP! The level of care and understanding they have for dogs with behavioral issues is truly remarkable.

So glad I finally decided my naughty little boy had some growing up to do and Criselda fixed him right up. I was kinda of nervous, about possible, separation anxiety or behaviors, because he’s so spoiled and hasn’t been away from me for that long before, but he had a great time. I loved all the pictures and creative videos of the training sessions she sent me. Of course now that he’s home it’s my turn to continue the training and implement everything I have learned, but I wouldn’t of been able to get to this point (trust me, I tried, for years, of course nowhere near as consistently or thorough: ok, I had no idea of what I was doing, and it showed in my poo’s behaviors) without Criselda’s and K9 Mania‘s help because they put in the all the initial hours and repetitions needed for the commands/behavior modifications to stick, now I can take it from there. Thank you. Happy (well behaved) doggy = happy dog mom.

What an incredible experience we had with K9 Mania. Our two dogs required so much attention and training, and to be honest I was doubtful that they could be fixed. I was mistaken. After 3 week board and train, it’s as if we have new dogs now. Zach was our trainer, and he could not have been any better. We received constant communication from the facility, and would recommend K9 to anyone else that was in our position. If you want to change your dog (s) for the better, this is the place for you!

Thank you Karym Rodríguez. This trainer really helped my dog negrita, my dog used to not be obedient, aggressive, pull on the leash, and barked at people and dogs. Now she doesn’t do any of those bad behaviors. I would really recommend this dog trainer area for your dog because they really helped with my family and my dog negrita with our problems.love, the family flores
