K-9 Bootcamp

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Hilton Christie you are the best. Bella went through the puppy training program and probably over stayed her welcome lil stubborn thing ended up with the Butlers on and off for 6 months. I can honestly say she’s the best trained dog we have ever had. She’s got wonderful manors minds us and is fantastic with our son. Berkley our older Pitt/​Boxer mix wasn’t so great with our son when we brought him home but the butlers fixed that too. She and MJA are inseparable. She’s so gently and kind with him We can’t thank you enough Butler family. Highly recommend.

I see another reviewer said there were no photos etc –excuse was computer broken– well I wasn’t told that there was any issue but if I would’ve seen photos I would’ve immediately gone to get my 2 dogs who were kept way longer than the agreed upon time. When I did finally get them, they were filthy and had lost significant amounts of weight. My lab was 40 lbs and she lost almost 9 lbs– documented by my vet where I immediately took them. Her collar was so filthy I threw it away. They had dull coats and looked awful. Neither one had any behavioral change and do not follow the simple commands– at all. Crate I took there new in box was returned rusted out. My shepherd has much worse housebreaking issues than before he went. Complete failure. The only thing I did I feel was take my dogs someplace where they got dirty and starved. I have no motivation than to protect future dogs – find someplace else! Don’t take your dogs to these people.

Unlike some others who basically wrote horror stories about K9 Bootcamp/​Basic, my experience with Hilton and Christine was fantastic! I sent my 8 month old shih tzu to their training camp in August. About a month before I sent him, I went to their house to get a feel for the environment that my puppy would be in and felt very confident in their abilities to work with him. My biggest concern with my puppy was making sure he was house broken because we were about to move into a new home. Christine assured me this wouldn’t be an issue and even offered to keep my puppy a little longer if needed while we would be getting settled into the home. I LOVE THAT THEY TRAIN FROM A HOME… how else do you HOUSE train a dog when it’s not in a HOUSE? It was a perfect idea. When I dropped off my puppy the first day, I got to meet Hilton as well who make me feel very confident about his training. I also was able to meet their daughter who came down and started playing with my puppy… this made me feel a lot better that he would be very loved while there! I did not receive any formal report cards or pictures. but only because their computer had broke and was given to an IT guy to have fixed (there is technology for you! LOL) Although I didn’t receive any of the pictures, Christine was always available to talk to me about his progress. Despite what others say, she always, ALWAYS answered any and every phone call I had. After he got home, he knew some commands and was almost 100% house broken (sure he has had a few slip ups but what dog hasn’t?). My puppy ended up having diarrhea when he returned home (I think it was because of the stress/​excitement of coming home). Christine and Hilton contacted me multiple times to see how he was feeling and make sure he was okay. Now it has been a month since he has been home and I couldn’t be happier with my puppy and his behavior… Thank you K9 Bootcamp/​Basic!!!
