DNA K9 Cincinnati

Super awesome experience with Doug. We did a one week board and train with one of my rescues and he made so much progress in such a short period of time. We got update videos everyday he was there. The knowledge transfer after his board was very thorough and I feel completely supported. Doug has also been great with answering all my random silly questions. My favorite thing about DNA K9 is how dedicated they are to helping rescue dogs, especially those with behavioral issues.

Doug was amazing with helping us with our Frenchies fear and reactivity. My husband and I contacted Doug because we were unable to do anything including walks without having anxiety of the reactivity that would come with it. Our dog would bark and lunge at every person, dog, or thing that we came across while out and about. We opted to do the private lessons with Doug and not only did it teach our dog, but it helped teach us how we can help our dog have a better life. After doing consistent lessons, we are now able to take our frenchie on walks, trips, and allow her to have more freedom on and off leash than we ever could. E collar training has significantly changed ours and our dogs life for the better. We would recommend them to anyone who is having trouble and is on the fence about it. It was the best decision we ever made and Doug was such a huge help with all of it and continues to help if needed. We are so thankful.

I did a one week boarding train with my second German Shepherd! The results are impeccable! They did an amazing job training my dog and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their dog trained. This is my second German Shepherd that they have helped train and I will definitely be going back with my third! They take the time to answer any questions you have and help you with any struggles you might have. I got daily updates with videos on my dog’s progression and you could see the hard work that they put into it. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Doug has been exactly what my 7lb pup needed. In the beginning BooBoo was VERY aggressive and anxious about everything and everybody. Not any more! Doug came to the house once a week from Cheviot to New Richmond and it has been an amazing change in my pup. We are very happy with the outcome. Nice guy and easy to work with.

Had an AMAZING experience working with DNA K9! I have an Aussie/border collie and is doing amazing! I did the 2 week board and train and had amazing results. Douglas is very nice, and has good communion! You also get daily videos of your puppy/dog!

So glad we found DNA K9 for our sweet boy, George! George is a 1-year old lab rescue, he’s so sweet but very excitable and has some anxiety. Car rides and walks were a real struggle, and even getting him to come inside for us was not easy. Then we found Doug! Doug took time to talk with us about the challenges we had with George and to understand where we needed help. During the board and train, Doug was able to work with George to become more calm and confident. By the end of the training, he had him responding to commands and walking off-leash. Now that George is back home, we are amazed by how well he responds to commands and we actually get to enjoy walks with him instead of struggling to restrain him when he gets excited. The best part is that we got updates along the way with videos of George’s progress. It was obvious that Doug cared about our George and that they had developed a bond. He also checked in on him even after he was home! Highly recommend Doug and DNA K9 training!

We reached out for help with our very active and stress-inducing 10 month old puppy and couldn't be happier with the training and care she received over a week board and train with Doug. We still have a lot to learn to help her along but commiting to the board and train process moved her along in the process faster then I could have imagined. We will continue to work with Doug as we continue to train our sweet pup. His experience and demeanor (firm, loving and great sense of humor) were a great match for our family and pup.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Doug from DNA K9!! First of all, you can tell how much passion he has for training and caring for dogs, he made my pup Mr. Sauce feel so comfortable and special. Doug put my mind at ease with the e-color and I can confidently say my relationship with my dog is better now that I have the tools that Doug provided us. He is patient and answered all of the questions I had as well as tailoring the training to my dogs needs and skill-set. I highly recommend DNA K9 to anyone who needs a dog trainer!

We were referred to Doug initially for a foster assessment. After meeting him, we knew he we would reach out again when we had another dog needed training. Fast forward 2 months, and we reached out to Doug for in-training of our newest pup. Our newest pup was doing well w/Doug-guided training, so we asked him to train our other dog and our daughter’s new dog too. He is through, listens to the needs of both owner and pup, perceptive and friendly. Would highly recommend!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review for DNA K9 If dogs could write Yelp reviews, Daisy (my mischievous little Shihpoo) would be pawing at the keyboard right now to gush about Doug and Tracy. Before training, Daisy had perfected the art of “selective hearing” when her mom called. But after just one week with Tracy, she’s now a pro at come, sit, paw, and even place (which basically means she’s ready to audition for Cirque du Soleil with her stepping-up skills). Tracy is truly the dog-whisperer—patient, skilled, and clearly dedicated to every pup that walks through the door. And Doug? Let’s just say Daisy may have developed a tiny crush. She perks up whenever he’s around, and I’m starting to think she listens better to him than to me! What makes DNA K9 special is that they treat every dog like their own. You can feel the love and commitment in everything they do. I cannot recommend Tracy (the training mastermind) and Doug (the doggie heartthrob) enough. Daisy and I are both grateful—and maybe just a little smitten. 🐾
