We are amazed at the change in our 1 yr old GSD Nia after spending a few weeks with Scott and Meagan at a Board and Train! Before handing her off, she was not listening to our commands, her recall was non-existent, she was fence fighting with a neighbor's dog while in our yard, she had difficulty remaining calm when we had visitors to our house, and we would exercise her constantly but could not tire her out. We had some difficult conversations prior to the training about our ability to keep Nia, given how unruly she was.Scott did e-collar training with Nia and it has worked wonders. She now listens to all our commands and her recall is perfect. She sits obediently by our feet when people come to the house, and ignores the barking neighboring dogs.We highly recommend working with a professional on e-collar training for difficult dogs in order to ensure the effectiveness.Scott was patient in explaining all details of the training and has been available for all follow up questions, but Nia's behavior is so drastically improved, that we have few reasons to reach out to him.If more stars was an option, we would rate Scott and Meagan even higher than 5. If you are debating doing this training, stop questioning yourself and just do it!

Just want to start off by saying that they are by far the best trainers! My family and I got a GS/Husky mix not knowing what was coming our way. He pulled very hard on the leash, the whining was uncontrollable, he jumped on every person that came near, and was just overall a mess! We thought there was no hope for him and started thinking of giving him away:( I decided to look for trainers, then came across Warner K9 and we DONT REGRET IT. All the problems we had prior, GONE. Highly recommend them!! Thank You Scott and Meagan!

Amazing job training our new Coton de Tulear! Our dog arrived mature and trained beyond her years! Megan and Scott are pros!

Scott and Meagan are terrific. I am experienced with GSDs but have only adopted young adults. I had never adopted a puppy and realized after a few months I needed help. Scott and Meagan did miracles with him. He came home with good habits and a solid foundation. Within 24 hours even my older and shy girl, who had been overwhelmed by him in the past, felt comfortable enough to approach and sniff him when he was lying on his bed, and he stayed completely relaxed and calm. Scott fully debriefed me at pickup and armed me with everything I need to continue to take forward their great work. Grateful and I highly recommend them.

My 4-year old pitbull/german shepherd mix attended Warner K9’s training camp for 5 weeks this summer. She was adopted with a handful of behavioral issues which I worked on for a couple years, but after 5 weeks with Scott Warner I saw incredible improvements. A simple yet effective system of communication and tools, and significantly more drive to follow commands quickly and correctly. She’s pulled me on walks for years - but no longer! I highly recommend Warner K9 for dog training. The trainers form tight bonds with the dogs which leads to success, and Scott and Meagan couldn’t be more supportive. They truly love dogs and want to help you and your dog live a fulfilled life in your home!

Look no further! Scott and Meagan are hands down the best dog trainers out there. Cooper attended their 4-week boot camp. He had severe leash anxiety - would lunge and bark at other dogs while on walks. Scott and Meagan taught Cooper (and us) how to manage that. Walks are now easy and fun. My 14 year-old has taken the lead. Cooper has the same wonderful personality, but a trained Cooper makes everyone that much happier. Highly recommend!

When Meagan picked up Wyatt, my Tasmanian devil-like five month old chocolate lab I silently said a little prayer - not for my dog but for his trainers. I was skeptical that a dog with zero self control, no “off” button, inability to even walk on a leash without ripping my arm out of the socket, and an apparent deaf ear to any of my instructions could be trained to do anything other than to maybe chase a ball.Boy was I wrong! When Scott returned with Wyatt I was absolutely shocked. He looked and behaved like a different animal! Not only had he grown up (he was a puppy no more!), and I could tell he had been taken excellent care of, but he was in control, responded and acted upon commands, was able to “think” before he did something and make corrections, and best of all, looked supremely proud of himself.During his time away I received pictures and videos of Wyatt in all sorts of situations - learning and growing and getting used to the world and how he was to behave in it. It was truly amazing to see his progress!Upon Wyatt’s return Scott provided excellent education to me to continue to foster Wyatt’s training and new behaviors. Scott is a wealth of information and I could tell both he and Meagan are true natural “dog whisperers” and passionate about their life’s calling. Also, they are both genuine and kind people and a pleasure to partner with in this new role of dog parent.Wyatt has been home for a full week and I could not be more pleased with our new life. When he left I was a frazzled puppy parent barely hanging on to my sanity. As I type this review he is now sitting serenely on his elevated bed without interventions, dozing and undoubtably dreaming of his next meal. He is a joy to walk on a leash, continues to follow commands and has picked up a couple more based on Scott’s methods, and even the neighbors have noticed the difference, “Hey! Wyatt isn’t laying in the gutter any more on your walks!”.Thank you, Meagan and Scott, for all you’ve done! Your puppy training program was truly life changing.

I can't say enough great things about WarnerK9 and Scott and Megan. We are first time puppy owners and sent our puppy to the five week training program. It changed everything for the better! Initially having a puppy was stressful and felt out of control more than it was fun, and after WarnerK9's work with her, it has felt not only manageable but joyful! We can't speak highly enough of these trainers and programs.
