happy clients...
This is the best training facility you can find. Our GSD, Boone, is a smart dog but I was really struggling on how to handle him and help him grow into a well trained, adjusted dog. We’ve done the basic obedience class and are currently in the intermediate. Chris has been fantastic and really shows you how to work with your dog - both owner and pup get trained :-). Everyone has been super friendly and very willing to answer questions. If something happens where you miss a class, Chris has been great about scheduling a time for you to make it up. I feel like I have learned so much from my time here and can’t wait to see what else Boone learns from these classes.

I highly recommend them for your training needs as they have the experience, knowledge and follow-through. They (trainers to even the owner) truly care about helping dogs and their owners with what is needed. When I first started bringing my out of control puppy to them, they helped me take command of my dog and helped my dog with her behavior needs and they taught me what messages I was unintentionally sending to my canine. When new challenges arise, they are more than happy to assist where needed. They are reasonably priced, Guarantee results, are Caring, Responsive and Skilled. What more could someone want?

We just completed basic obedience training class and the change in our puppy is remarkable. They are patient, listening and answering any question; addressing any issue you may have regarding your K9. The atmosphere is welcoming and inclusive. Knowing they will be there for us should we need to visit and reinforce our training makes our investment invaluable!

"You will not regret your decision to use Tracy for dog training! We were at
a breaking point with our Pitbull Penny...she became aggressive towards
another dog in our home after the birth of our son. We had tried to fix the
problem on our own...Tracy was willing to be flexible and she offered many
solutions in order to determine what was going to work best for us and
Penny...(she) improved her behaviors inside our home...is obedient and is
listening to commands inside and outside. She is walking better on her
leash and overall seems to be more calm and less stressed! We are SO
grateful and highly recommend Tracy!”

"So far we have taken two group classes at K9 Rules Training Camp and
we are looking forward to a Reliable Recall Class to be offered, as that is
where we still need help with our two younger dogs. The first class was a
regular obedience class which we took with one of our young dogs, Pinky,
who had never had any formal training. We, as well as he, enjoyed the
class. It was so much fun seeing him mastering everything he learned.
Tracy Peabody is a great trainer and if you do your homework, I believe
any dog will succeed. The second class we took was one to prepare for
the Good Canine Citizen test. This time we took not only Pinky, but Mush
as well. This was her first obedience class but it didn't matter, the class
was so good that she learned everything needed to pass the test. A friend
who had been visiting us before this class could not believe they were the
same dogs when he came back after they had completed it. Total
transformation! Now when we are able to incorporate what they have
learned in our daily routines, life is so much easier. The only thing we still
need to work on is total recall, so we are very excited at the prospect of
taking a class dedicated to teaching us how to get our dogs to grasp this
concept as well."

"My dog has gone from being a stress in the
household to a total enjoyment..."
I was referred to K9 Rules because my 90 lb. Rottie had some behavioral
issues such as not recalling, over excitement with company and difficulty
on the leash. Tracy helped me work with my dog at my home, private
sessions at the Camp and then we worked in a group training around other
dogs. The amount of patience and knowledge Tracy has is incredible. I
was able to get to a point where I could, if I chose, walk my dog off leash and she would walk with me and next to me. My dog recalled well and I
was able to begin taking her to public places with ease of control. My dog
has gone from being a stress in the household to a total enjoyment and it's
because of all the training and knowledge form K9 Rules Training Camp.
Hands down incredible and the best place.
I also board my dog there. It's like leaving your fur baby with family in a
calm, clean environment and not a standard kennel. A total reassurance
when I have to be out of town.
K9 Rules Training Camp is a God send!

"The training team was amazing.
It is obvious that there is a genuine love for dogs and
a dedication to improving the relationship between
dogs and their owners as well as the lives of the
dogs.”
We have two rescue dogs, a Boston pug mix and a lab mix.
Although they are both good dogs, they would get excited, not
follow commands, jump on people, and when they would see
other dogs, they would make a mad dash towards them.
When taking them for walks, it was hectic, chaotic and sometimes
stressful. They would both try to be the leader of the pack, each of
them charging ahead. It was always a race between the two of
them, who would be the lead, at times; it was as if they were
walking us! This was of course to no fault of their own; it was
actually what we had not done to teach them. We had no training
on how to train the dogs. So we lacked the foundational lessons
needed to teach our dogs how to obey. Then we called K9 Rules
Training Camp. There we learned how to get our dogs to respond
to us, how to get them to focus on us and not their surroundings,
how to follow commands, and how to decrease their anxiety
level. Soon after finishing our classes at the camp, we had multiple
comments from friends and family about “how they are completely
different dogs”, “they are so well behaved”, etc. The team at K9
Rules was amazing. It is obvious that there is a genuine love for
dogs and a dedication to improving the relationships between
dogs and their owners as well as the lives of the dogs.
Thank you K9 Training Camp! We love you!

Teddy (Puppers) is our happy go lucky 6 month puppy. We have been working
with Tracy for the past 3 months old one on one. And also have done basic
obedience classes with Chris and some ‘stay and train dayʼ sessions. It has been
such a blessing coming here! My husband and I both feel comfortable with them.
And I feel their guidance is reasonable. I love being able to stop teddy off for half
or full day, he can socialize with other dogs and get training! What a win! We
drive 35 miles to get there. But I feel itʼs worth it.

Very happy with the results that I have been getting with Piper and her training. I
have done training with other trainers but never with the same results. Even though they are group classes I feel like they are
individualized. Kudos to Specialized K9 services...I look forward to taking more
advanced classes. A well trained dog makes a happy dog and a VERY happy
owner.

We visited today and I must say the atmosphere was amazing. Everyone was
super friendly, informative and helpful. We will be starting training in August and

This is the best experience I have ever had with a dog trainer!!! Well worth the
time and money!!! The staff are AMAZING!!! My lil guy Diesel learned so
much(so did I) and did very well. I left with knowledge to help with my other dogs
as well. We will definitely be going back to group sessions in the fall!! WOOF
WOOF!!! puppy love!!

My dog Daisy was absolutely insane on the leash. Aggressive towards other
dogs, overly excited about people, and would pull me to the point of exhaustion. I
dreaded walking her. I couldnʼt take her anywhere, and I felt completely clueless
on how to fix it. I took her ONCE for a hour, and she came out a
totally different dog. I also walked out with more confidence to learn with daisy. If
I could give more stars I would. Daisy and I will be walking everywhere from now
on! Thank you!!!!!! �

and learn to improve her behavior.

I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful Tesa was with puma! In 1 hour and 15
minutes, she completely trained my dog to obey me and to get on a plane with
me. This group is awesome!

Absolutely life changing! Life with two male puppies was so stressful before I
came here. The staff made it all better and my puppies have come
so far. Highly recommend to every single person!

1 year ago today I was or in contact with this team to find my then missing
brother and they were hired them they found him a couple days later! They
treated me and everyone with the most respect and had a very professional
experience with this entire team. The situation turned out bad for the family but I
would not have used anyone different they are now the 1st
and only search team in North Carolina I would recommend!
We appreciate all you did for our family! And if there is ever anything we can do
to try to repay what you did for us please just let us know.
