STAT K9 Training - Collegeville, Pennsylvania

Tina and her team at STAT K9 Training are amazing!
As our puppy grew into a "big boy" (95 lbs at 14 months), we realized we needed expert guidance for his development and training. We sought help for issues like pulling on the leash, jumping on people, "counter surfing," racing out the door when opened, and being unsettled in the car. Walking him was particularly challenging due to his wandering and pulling.

The training was not only for him, it was for us too. We were assigned "homework" and we had a few practice sessions with Tina to ensure what our dog was being taught, we could continue at home. This benefit was one of the main reasons we chose STAT K9.

As we continue to practice, he has much better control over his excitement. He "waits" patiently when the door is opened, can settle himself on "Place," and lies down calmly in the car, reducing his anxiety. He's improving with walks around our neighborhood, and I was able to walk him into the grooming store without being "dragged." We even spent extra time walking inside, and while he wasn't perfect, he was controlled and learning. He's now a real pleasure to take walks with. With better behavior, we've removed some gates and allowed him into more areas of the house.

Tina, we cannot thank you enough. We are proud of the hard work you and your staff have done with him!

Amazing Trainer!!! 🏆
We couldn’t be happier with the results after working with Tina at STAT K9! She helped train Emmy, our 1 year old Maltipoo, and the transformation has been incredible. Not only is our dog much better behaved, but we also learned so many valuable techniques to continue reinforcing good habits at home.

Tina was patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about her work. She took the time to understand our specific concerns—whether it was leash pulling, barking, or learning commands—and tailored the training sessions to meet our needs.

Our Emmy responded so well to the positive reinforcement methods, and now walks are more enjoyable, guests are welcomed without chaos, and basic commands are second nature. We genuinely feel like we’ve built a stronger bond with Emmy, thanks to Tina.

If you’re looking for a trainer who is effective, compassionate, and truly invested in helping you and your dog succeed, we highly recommend Tina and STAT K9.

We were so nervous to send our Scrappy away for 3 weeks but Tina was amazing! She kept us informed of his progress in her daily videos and she made sure we were confident in carrying out the work once he was home. She really tailors the program to each individual dog. Our house is so much calmer now with our other dogs. Tina gave us an easy to follow plan. I highly recommend her training program!

Tina is amazing! Our 9 month old GSP was so out of control. He trained with her for 18 days and it has changed his (and our) lives! Having him stay in place when we are eating or company is walking in has been pure joy! We're having so much fun playing frisbee with him and he comes as soon as we call him. I highly recommend anyone who is struggling with their pup to join her program.

We placed our 3 year old lab mix Ollie in the board and train program for 2 weeks while we went on vacation. It was so great to have regular video updates to see what he was up to while we were away. We were amazed by his change in behavior. He went from constantly seeking attention (usually stealing random items or barking at us) to being able to sit calmly while we take care of things around the house. He also hasn’t counter surfed once since we’ve had him back! We are so happy with the results and it feels so good to be proud of our dog’s behavior. Give Tina a call, you won’t regret it!

We did board and train with Tina and I can’t say enough positive things about the experience! Tina is the most agreeable person I have ever met. I knew right away my PWD would be in good hands and on the road to success. Since we were away Tina checked in and sent progress reports and videos every day. I could tell from the videos my girl was happy, stimulated and focused on learning. It was the first time ever boarding a dog and I would never hesitate to trust Tina with my baby in the future! Thanks Tina!!!

High Kudo’s to Tina and her team at STAT K9 Training! After attending the 2 week “boot camp” our 22 month cute, lovable yet manipulative Cavapoo (who would only follow commands with the expectation of a treat/reward) came home with our expectations met. Tina’s methods have proven very effective for both our dog (and ourselves as owners). Although there have been additional behavioral and safety improvements, Mr. Gibbs is now calmer and less reactive (at home, on walks and in the car). A huge plus is that he willingly sleeps in his crate again instead of our bed! I highly recommend Tina Benson at STAT K9 Training!

Tina was absolutely amazing. It felt like I had a new dog when I brought him home. She really works hard and goes above and beyond for what you need! She’s also always giving you daily updates on your dog so you never have to worry about what they are up to. I highly recommend bringing your dog to Tina for anything you need!
