Jason did such an incredible job with my puppy, Nemo. Nemo was a very difficult case, and Jason was so patient, communicative, and worked with Nemo's specific needs and stubbornness. Nemo is so much happier, better at self-regulating, an almost perfect leash walker, and the mouthiness has gotten so much better. He used to refuse to go to his crate entirely, and he now loves it. Both Nemo and I are so much less stressed after Mid State K9!! You can tell that everyone there is genuinely good people too, which makes me even happier. I've already recommended them to several of my friends and would absolutely use them again for future dogs.

We needed help with our golden retriever puppy. Having raised 4 other puppies, this was by far, our toughest. She jumped on us and everyone, chewed our furniture for attention, was unable to lay and relax, jumped and bit her leash on walks, and was overall, not a very good listener. We called Mid-State K9 on a tip from a friend.
The 2 week session had an incredible impact on our girl. She’s now able to relax and stay on her bed while we sit on the couch, hasn’t come close to biting our furniture, makes eye contact when we call her, listens to commands, stays by our side (mostly) on walks, and is a joy to be around. We could tell based on her reaction when he left from the drop off that should really liked her trainer, Danny. He took great care of her, and we’re grateful for the time he spent and the results we’re enjoying. She’s now 6.5 months old and we couldn’t be happier with her current progress. Thank you Mid-State K9!

Josh and Jason are the absolute best. We had a 6 month old German Shepherd, that would just not listen. So I gave Mr. Clardy a call. Mr. Josh picked him up 2 weeks ago. They were able to kennel train him, on leash, off leash, and verbal commands. My dog came back a totally different dog! Our favorite command is the “Go to bed”. I am very grateful for both of these fine men. They even took time out of their Sunday to bring Rambo back and go over what Rambo was taught and helped us with the commands. I would HIGHLY recommend Mid-State K9 for any dog training. They are hands down the best around!
