EXCELLENT Based on 100 reviews Posted on Cassandra Soto21 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joseph and Rebecca are absolutely amazing! They did a wonderful job training my malinois-mix, Milo, and just as importantly—they taught me how to be a better dog owner. Their approach is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. Milo responded so well to their training, and I feel much more confident in handling and understanding him thanks to their guidance. You can tell they truly love what they do and care about the well-being of both dogs and their humans. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and effective dog trainers!Posted on Eryn Gill10 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rebbeca and Joseph were great with our baby Frenchie. They talked us through the entire process, kept us updated and did wonders with Frankie. I love working with them!Posted on Emily Sims4 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best dog trainers in North Texas!!! Joseph and Rebecca really rolled out the red carpet with this experience! Our little Mags is the most well mannered girl on the block now!Posted on Johnathon Burentt3 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The great folks over at jr canine, it's been such an amazing job with my brand new puppy gunner, teaching him obedience,manners, and recall so start with They not only train but also bored. Whenever my crazy life takes me out of the state for work, it's became such a huge part of my family and friendsPosted on Pam Case3 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joesph and Rebecca at JRK9 are not only wonderful trainers but they are wonderful humans. I had to tend to some medical issues during the duration of our training, their support and prayers was an unbelievable wait off my shoulders, they are kind enough to offer me one of theirs!Posted on James Baum2 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This isn't my first review for them. I have 2 dogs that have been through the program. If you look them up on FB mine are a GSD "Tango" and a very CRAZY Doberman "Karma" Karma should've been born a Malinois from what I hear. She came home from training today and her CRAZY is controllable. They are amazing and although they'll tell you they provide a foundation my family thinks they work magic!Posted on Heather Falgout28 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They’ve been great! Colby spent 3 weeks with them and came back entirely changed for the better. Some small issues we had, like nipping when playing, were already completely fixed and he just keeps getting better. I appreciate the continued learning with the online courses and 6 months of at-home sessions. Really great!Posted on Alex T21 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible work that JRK9.com (Rebecca and Joseph) has done with our service dog. Their specialized training program has genuinely transformed both our Belgium Malinois Service Dog capabilities and our quality of life. When we first approached JRK9, our service dog had basic training but struggled in high-stress environments. The expert trainers at JRK9 worked patiently and methodically to build our dog's confidence and skills in exactly the challenging situations we needed help with most. What sets JRK9 apart: Their training program specifically addressed all our concerns: - Public spaces mastery: Our dog now confidently navigates crowded malls, restaurants, and other busy public areas without hesitation - Air travel preparation: The specialized desensitization training for airplane environments was incredibly effective —Our recent travel flight was stress-free for both us and our service dog - Noise tolerance: From thunderstorms to city traffic to unexpected loud sounds, our dog remains calm and focused on tasks - Social interaction with other dogs: The controlled socialization training has eliminated reactive behaviors around other service animals and pets The trainers demonstrated exceptional knowledge and used positive reinforcement techniques throughout the entire process. They involved us in every step, providing clear instructions on how to maintain and reinforce the training at home and especially in public with our Service dog, Lexxi. What truly impressed me was their understanding that each service dog and handler have unique needs. They created a customized training plan specifically addressing our lifestyle requirements rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. The follow-up support has been outstanding as well. Even months after completing the intensive training program, the JRK9 team remains available to answer questions and provide guidance as needed. If you're looking to take your service dog's training to the next level, especially for handling challenging real-world situations, I wholeheartedly recommend JRK9.com. The investment has been life-changing for both our service dog and our family. Thank you Rebecca and Joseph for your dedication, expertise, and compassion!Posted on Rachel Hicks13 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joseph was wonderful to work with and set me up with a great plan for my dog who is experiencing separation anxiety. He is very knowledgeable and said he was just a call or text away if I needed any help throughout the process. I would definitely recommend working with Joseph!Posted on Lani Cluff9 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We dropped off an active overly energetic dog, 1 month later we picked up a dog with impulse control that we could enjoy. We were able to have her in the family room lying with us while we watched tv in her own designated "place". Grey is 1yr old and I can't wait to grow with her and JRK9 over the next few years. I could not be more pleased. Mostly I appreciate having them introduce a collar in a safe professional environment.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
