My 4 month old Papillon puppy wasn't socialized. He was very shy, barked at anything and everything and groweled at a few people such as the vet. This behavior was unexceptable. I wanted a happy friendly puppy. Friends told me about K9's Only. They claimed that they could change his attitude and teach him how to be a happy puppy who would be loved by all. I decided to check out K9's Only to see for myself what the place looked like and to meet Bobby Dorafshar, the owner, and Sharon Vincuilla, a trainer. My puppy and I went for an interview and a tour. In a matter of minutes the two of them had won over my puppy's love, so I had no doubt he would be happy there. The tour was incredible. The place is immaculately clean as well as fresh smelling. The ventialtion system is very powerful to keep it smelling fresh all the time. The kitchen was spotless and the dishwashers were running. They wash the bowls everyday. Each dog has his own food bin to ensure he gets the right food.. \r

Convinced this was the place for my puppy to be trained, I took him for a 3 week training program. He came back a happy loveable puppy. Currently completed 3 of 4 follow-ups and plan to do fourth very soon. Also, plan to attend the free Sat. morning sessions to give my dog more exposure to more people and dogs. I am now able to take my puppy to parks, on walks, have people over and truly enjoy my little guy. He barks when someone comes to the door, but stops when he knows they are friends. I never could've accomplished this much as fast as they did. People meet him and are amazed at how socialized and well mannered he has become. He is now 8 months old and a true companion and pleasure to have as a part of my family. \r

Since I know Lucky is happy, loved and well cared for in this environment, he will be a regular visitor. I take frequent trips. This kennel is the only place where he will be boarded. \r

Thanks go to Bobby and Sharon. Keep up the great work. See you soon.
Pros: genuine love for dogs, clean enviornment, successful training results, happy dogs
Cons: wish it was located in my city vs. miles down the freeway, but worth the drive
