Dog trainer

Lisa Shinder

I recently had the pleasure of working with Cedrik and AJ from Suncoast K-9 Academy for the board and train program of my dogs, Holly, my 3-month-old mini Aussie doodle puppy, and Chip, my 3-year-old corgi. The experience from the start was marked by a profound emphasis on safety, individualized attention, and a nurturing environment that catered to the unique needs of each dog, particularly beneficial given their different personalities and challenges.

Enrolling Holly and Chip in the board and train program meant they stayed with Cedrik and AJ for a period, receiving full-time, professional training. This immersive experience was instrumental in their development. Initially shy and reserved, Holly underwent a remarkable transformation under their guidance. Despite her young age, she evolved into a confident and playful puppy, a testament to the safe and supportive training environment provided by Cedrik and AJ. They established a space where Holly felt comfortable enough to gradually come out of her shell, emphasizing positive reinforcement and patience, which was crucial for her development, especially considering her tender age.

Chip, known for his stubbornness, also made significant strides thanks to the expertise and adaptability of Cedrik and AJ. Their ability to manage and guide his behavior, without ever compromising on the principles of safety and positivity, ensured that Chip could learn and grow at his own pace. The board and train program was particularly effective for Chip, providing him with the structured environment he needed to overcome his stubborn tendencies.

The progress Holly and Chip have made is extraordinary. Holly's journey from a timid puppy to a confident and playful companion in such a short time highlights the effectiveness and compassion of Cedrik and AJ's training techniques. This incredible change in her behavior, alongside Chip's improvements, underscores the value of choosing a board and train program that prioritizes a safe, patient, and positive approach.

Moreover, Cedrik and AJ's commitment to educating owners on maintaining and reinforcing these safe practices at home promises that the benefits of their training will endure. They have not only made a significant difference in the lives of Holly and Chip but have also equipped us with the knowledge and tools to continue supporting our pets' growth and well-being.

Opting for the board and train program at Suncoast K-9 Academy was undeniably the best decision for our young Holly and Chip. The care, dedication, and expertise they have shown in ensuring the well-being of our pets through their thoughtful and safe training practices have been invaluable. Holly, now a confident and joyful puppy, and Chip, with his improved behavior, are thriving, significantly enhancing our family bond. My heartfelt thanks to Cedrik and AJ for their exceptional dedication and for the positive impact they've made on our lives.

Sincerely,

~ The Shinder Family

We sent our dogs here 2 years ago, and it was and has been the worst decision we have ever made. Our dogs are still traumatized by coming here. If you love your dogs, please stay far away from Linda and whoever she hires from week to week. I wish we could do something to keep her far away from any animal.
