LION K9 - Woodland, California

Jessie Glasson

Rob has been a lifesaver for us. We adopted a 2 year old Belgian malinois from the shelter who we adore, but she did come with some reactivity issues. When we got her she was very reactive to other dogs and men. Training with Rob has helped with her reactivity so much. She has gained confidence, and even her separation anxiety has eased up. He has given us the tools we need to help her. Even though she is distrustful of men, Rob is just about her favorite person in the world. We call him the dog whisperer, and we highly recommend his services.

We brought Miles to training with Rob for basic obedience and people reactivity. Miles has been making so much progress thanks to Rob’s hard work teaching Miles, along with us?. We are so grateful for this experience and getting to watch Miles improve, and are looking forward to continuing the progress!!

Lion K9 Training is 100% worth it!!! Rob the trainer and owner is incredible at what he does! Our large lab mix dog needed some basic training as well as some aggression training. We didn’t know who would be the best fit as our dog has certain needs to be tended to and wanted to find someone we could really trust. A current client of his recommended Rob to us, and their dog has had an incredible transformation with his confidence, aggression issues, and overall training.

We live in San Francisco, a 1.5 hour drive to get to his training yet we feel it is more than worth it as finding a trainer you can trust and rely on isn’t easy to find in the Bay Area. Rob not only takes the takes the time to care and cater his training to each dog’s needs, but also genuinely cares about the success of the dogs and makes sure the owners are on top of their homework and consistent training! Rob checks in regularly to see how training and homework are going, is very clear with his directions and training goals for us, and is a really great person to work with in general. We are thrilled to continue our dog’s training with Rob, and see how much happier our dog is from training, which makes us a happy family! Highly recommend Rob to anyone looking to train their fur babies!!!

I had always trained my mixed breed dogs myself but when we adopted a Shepherd/Malinois mix, I really wanted the expertise of a professional acquainted with the breeds to help me make sure Billie would be a breed role model and a happy dog. I had seen Rob's business on car rides before but when our vet also referred him, I knew it was time to reach out and I'm very happy I did.

Rob's love for dogs shines through in everything he does. I wasn't able to articulate exactly what I wanted to achieve with Billie in terms of training but, after our initial consultation with Rob, I knew I at least wanted to continue with basic obedience and see what else might pique Billie's interest. Rob is no-nonsense and you will not see the results you want with your pup if you don't do your homework daily (which should not be an issue for any responsible dog owner!) but you will be so proud of yourself and your dog when you show up to the field and you're able to go through all of the paces Rob puts you through.

Rob is very knowledgeable and trains to your dog's abilities. Unlike most trainers, he doesn't have a flat fee for a certain number of lessons with "guaranteed" results. He works with you based on your goals, your progress, and how your dog responds to the training. We also adopted a German Shepherd pup and started him with Rob as well. If we hadn't relocated to NY, we would still be in training with Rob, I cannot recommend Lion K9 highly enough!

Rob is amazing. Individually tailored to your training needs. He really works with you and your dog on whatever your challenges are.
I was really struggling with my pup. Now, I get compliments on how good she is, and more importantly I have less stress and more confidence and trust. A well trained dog is a happy dog! "Train don't complain"

I have been training dog both professionally and as a hobby over the last 35 years. Rob knows dogs and can read dogs - excellent trainer

Kofi is a 3 year-old rescue from a local shelter. We’ve been training with Rob for about 2 months. Rob does a great job working with you to better understand your dog and their behavior. He is always willing to answer your questions, I am glad to have found Lion K9. I highly recommend checking out Lion K9!

I am looking forward to seeing how much more progress Kofi makes in the months to come.

I am so thankful that my husband took our Australian Labradoodle, Bert, to work with Robb. Robb's patience, kindness and willingness to educate both dogs and owners is evident in every interaction we have had. Definitely money well spent.
