They are fantastic trainers. My puppy came back home much better behaved, and I now understand my part in helping my dog do the right things. He is much happier and I am far less frustrated.
We adopted a deaf pit mix puppy into a home with a six year old pit mix we adopted 4 years ago with severe anxiety issues. The puppy was aggressive with the adult which was very concerning to us. As a last resort I decided that board and train was my only choice to save this puppy, and it did. It’s only been 2 weeks since he has been home- but we’ve got this! It’s on me to see the pre-aggressive behavior and intervene and I can. Board and train is a big step emotionally and financially. We have experience with special needs dogs but I was over my head here. My first responsibility was to the existing dog, and the idea of surrendering a deaf puppy was so disheartening I would have tried anything to avoid it. The bottom line here is this,. Jon and Indy K9 saved this dog’s life, there is just no other way to say it.
We brought our rescue dog here for obedience training and were very impressed with the results! Our dog has a ton of energy, but Jon and his team helped improve her demeanor and taught us how to effectively walk and train her with a pinch and ecollar. Highly recommend! We also appreciate the chance to board our dog here from time to time so she can see familiar faces.
I chose Indy K-9 (owned by Jonathan Combs) as a trainer for my dog, Boss. I did extensive online research and conducted phone interviews searching for the right trainer. After a lot of research and speaking with Jonathan directly, I selected his 30 day course for Boss and couldn’t be happier with the results! Boss is well behaved and Jonathan has taught me so much as a new dog owner. I’ve had many questions over the last year and he’s always available to promptly reply and help me be the best dog owner I can be. Boss now visits Jonathan for boarding when I’m out of town for work. I never worry about Boss when I’m gone. I know Jonathan’s depth of knowledge, dedication to his clients (human and furry ones ) and passion for the well-being of dogs are used to keep Boss physically safe, mentally happy, and emotionally secure. I’m thankful that Boss and I found Indy K-9! Sherry & Boss Foster
Took My Dog Joker to Jon at Indy K-9 due to Joker needing some behavior training. Honestly I was a bit skeptical due to past experiences with other Dog trainers. So I didn't know what to expect when it came to results at the end. Fortunately Jon was the first trainer that gave me the training results that he said he would in regards to Jokers training. And I am Very Happy I decided to have Indy K-9 do Jokers Training. I know there is still some at Home work of Me being consistent and working with Joker daily to keep and further the training Joker received from Indy K-9 as expected with any training, but Jon was able to get a Good start on it with Joker and got me to a point that I am Very Happy with.
Our family was very hesitant to send our very small chihuahua to training for 4 weeks, but it was a great decision. She had several behavior issues we needed resolved: territorial, biting and overall doing whatever she wanted. Upon her return she is the same dog, but she now is able to listen and obey all the commands Jon taught her. We are now 4 months out and she still knows what is expected of her and obeys all of her commands. I cannot recommend Jon enough.
First off, let me say that this was a very big decision for our family and we took a lot of time researching our options. I couldn’t imagine being without our pup for 4 weeks. After meeting with Jon, I felt confident and fully comfortable with our choice. Winnie, our Great Dane/Doberman puppy, isn’t a "new dog" after training. She is the same amazing girl, but with more confidence and manners. She now has a strong foundation and understands what is expected. She is much happier than when we tried other training methods. Obviously there is still work involved on our part, but Jon made sure we had all of the tools to succeed and was there to answer any questions throughout the process. The results exceeded our expectations. With 2 young kids, this training was a godsend. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Indy K-9.
