Warner K9

We got our Pup back from the training boot camp in January, and I think Scott and Megan are really knowledgeable. Our pup seems to have picked up great foundations, especially for off-leash walks and settling down in public places—kudos to their training. However, the reason for my single-star review is that they shaved my pup’s hair without consulting us first. Since he is a Samoyed, if his undercoat is exposed, he's prone to injuries or bruises easily. It’s been 3 months since we got him back, and we’ve been regularly visiting the vet for issues like bruises from his collar or injuries from playing with other dogs

Scott and meagan are amazing! My dog Frankie was pulling on leash and barking at other dogs anytime we went in public. After the time spent with them, Frankie came back heavily improved, and rarely making mistakes unless I messed up. Thank you Warner K9!

Scott worked wonders with my dog. When she was adopted as a puppy, I had no idea what her breed mix was, or what or her personality would become. After a month I realized she was a German Shepherd mixed with...a Malinois. Not an easy breed. I enrolled her in puppy classes, private training, and socialized her with other dogs. As she grew bigger, she became more and more difficult to manage. Despite having worked with two competent trainers as a pup, she was still jumping on people, pulling on leash, highly reactive to dogs, and unable to settle. She was actually kicked out of a group dog walking pack! Friends suggested I find another home for her, which I did not want to do. After completing Scott's board and train program, she had transformed into a loyal, loving dog, who follows commands and is able to settle. I'm no longer afraid she'll jump on my frail parents, or worried that she's going to pull me over. She's a wonderful companion now, just a pleasure to be around. Scott is incredibly knowledgeable, a careful listener, a master at his craft, and just a really cool guy. Highly recommend!

Excellent trainer, even better person! We signed on with Scott for his "doggie boot camp" 3-4 week training while we were out of town traveling. Our Max got sick and stopped eating. Scott went way above and beyond getting Max to the Vet, advocating for him on our behalf, and really caring for him. A very stressful situation (2,000 miles away from our sick dog) was far more tolerable because of Scott. It was obvious during all our conversations that he truly cared about Max and wanted to see him well. We took a break to make sure he was fully healthy and sent him back for round two of training and Max is a new dog. He is exceptionally well trained but more importantly, he is more confident and happy. We have used other trainers and Scott's method is both more simple and more effective. I could not recommend Warner K9 more highly.

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!

Cannot recommend Scott enough. ? Scott is incredibly intelligent with vast knowledge regarding dog training and, importantly, understands that it's not 'one size fits all'. He is forever working to expand his knowledge base and knows that dog training is an ever changing science. He molds the training plan to the dog and owner. What I especially love about him is that he asks you to put into words what issues you might be having or what you'd like to work on. It truly is a team effort between the owner, the dog and him, the trainer. Not just someone telling you what to do and asking you to blindly follow along. If you have questions or potential ideas you'd like to bounce off of him, he is more than receptive. To top it off, he's a genuinely kind and caring person who pours his heart into his love for training. Very easy to chat (& laugh!) with. For those considering or currently involved in dog sports, particularly ringsport, taking the opportunity to train with Scott is a must! Safety of the dog should always be top priority of both the handler and the decoy. This is, without a doubt, his top concern. Reasons to work with Scott, to name a few: safely catches dogs, understands their body language, knows when & how much pressure to apply, fantastic with puppies & building them, knows the French ring exercises inside and out, has awesome ways of teaching each exercise that are so simple that handlers go home with homework, the list just goes on and on. Bottom line, if you have the chance to work with him, DO IT! We love him so much that we fly him in to south Texas whenever we can. Wire and Ess will be here waiting for the next time!
