J9’s K9s Dog Training

No matter which location of J9sK9s you choose you will be in good hands. After a terrible experience with 2 other training companies I was lucky to find j9s! They think of everything to ensure success in your dog. The personal contact via emails or phone calls goes above and beyond and really helped me get my dog on the right track. I highly recommend this place to anyone! As far as people saying their dog is «too advanced» that’s the great thing about J9sk9s there is no such thing as too advanced because they keep giving new tasks to challenging you, making them the perfect class for any dog!

J9’s K9s is one of the best dog training companies around!!! The instructors are great, and the assistants are always there when you need a hand (or peanut butter bone).
This particular location is great, because every dog/​handler team gets a nice, large area to work with their dog, it’s in the back of a shopping center so you don’t get much noise from street traffic, and because it’s right behind Pet People, there’s no worries if you forgot anything (just pop in the store before class).
Things you’ll need:
a blanket or mat for your dog
some chairs for you and your guests
treats (of course)
In no time your dog will be doing tricks you never thought possible.
My dogs and I LOVE J9’s K9s, so much, we’ve been going to class since 2004!!!

Enrolled my dog in the class and paid the deposit on line… never received an email or anything but the lady on the phone told us where to go and meet etc.
go to first class– canceled, no warning no email no call– nothing
2^nd class– come and everyone has blankets, chairs, treats– everyone had received an email but us, so we were SO unprepared. An annoyance but I could get over, at the end of class they apologize and take my email and reassure me theyll email me the handouts. 6 days later still never got anything (checked my junk)
after some consideration we realize this class wasn’t the right one for our dog– email them telling them that the class wasn’t the right one (she was too advanced) that the day no longer worked, and to be honest I really felt they lacked professionalism– Agreed I would pay for the class we attended but wanted the remainder of our deposit back– they said no– however Petco school and a competitor company gives you a refund if you try the first class and you’re not satisfied
I’m sure they know what they’re doing and training works however their customer service and disorganization is not for me! Wouldnt recommend to anyone, you can get great training for the same price and have better more reliable company!

J9s K9s is a great comprehensive puppy/​dog training arena for any size and/​or type of dog.
My lab puppy has been a member of Janine’s classroom since she was 4 months old. She is 1 year now and has graduated through beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels of obedience. Granted raising a lab puppy is a ton of work, but Janine and her staff have really guided me in this process. Their patience, the willingness to offer extra help, and their passion for training dogs spills out in every session. Add to that, they offer many other ways to keep your dog stimulated from rocket recall, on your spot, bark after dark, street smarts, and many other specialty courses. My dog is signed up for rocket recall next.
This is a great way to keep your dog socialized while having fun.
J9s K9s comes highly recommended.

People who know me know I’m serious about training my dog and giving it structure, discipline and also having fun! I enrolled my dog Jack in the Beginner’s class at J9s K9s after researching all the local training options.
I called to learn more and was impressed by Janine’s professionalism. She is a wealth of knowledge.
The group class settings were actually a good fit for my dog who was exhibiting over-​excitement when he saw other dogs and squirrels. He would jump around on his hind legs and make panting sounds. It helped Jack practice obedience while there were other distractions, namely other dogs nearby in the class. They have these handy dividers with curtains to help control some of the over-​stimulated dogs and the trainers typically have an assistant to help out too. They are good about giving them peanut butter/​cheese bones to distract them and will redirect owners/​dogs when needed etc.
We enjoyed the class and learned quite a bit. The «power recall» and «leave it» were great take-​aways. At the end of every class, we got a summary and homework sheet, which was great. Janine always returned my phone calls whenever I was concerned about my dog Jack’s issues and gave great training suggestions. I think they offer lifetime phone consultations. Although Jack still has other issues, he is better, but only through diligent leadership and work with him. He is great around other dogs now.
I recommend the group classes if you have a fairly well-​balanced dog, but are looking for games and obedience commands!

J9’sK9s is the epitomy of reward based dog training. Their classes are a blast and the trainers use fun and games to help train humans and their dogs. Class offerings are diverse and range from beginner through advanced, masters & Ph. D, street smarts, wilderness walks, freestyle, agility, beach camp, snow dogs, and mountain camp to mention a few. I’ve been training my 8 yr old precocious border collie mix at J9’s for over 3 years since we rescued him. Although my dog is not perfect, he’s now a very manageable companion that we can take virtually anywhere. He walks well on leash and generally pays attention to us rather than other dogs or people. As a bonus, we have made wonderful friends at J9’sK9s and enjoy being in the company of others who are equally devoted to their dogs and have fun doing so.

Every dog has a person and every person needs to be trained on how to handle their dog. J9’sK9’s is the place to go to learn.
My lovable lab, started there in a beginner’s class over two years ago and we have never left. Not only does J9’sK9’s have several locations throughout the San Fernando Valley they also have all sorts of classes and field trips to keep you and your K9 best friend, entertained and mentally stimulated.
The trainers are as good as they get and the other people and dogs are friendly too.
If you enjoy spending quality time with your pooch and want them to learn something at the same time J9’sK9’s is the way to go!

I too had a lot of fun with Stephanie and Janine and everyone else at J9’s K9’s. I started when I was just a little pup… what am I talking about, I still am a little pup! I already know how to do so much. My mom says I am the best behaved 6 mo old puppy ever. Thanks to Stephanie and gang and all the fun games that helped me learn.
I can walk on a loose leash, leave treats and other things alone on command, sit, lay down, shake hands (both), give hi 5’s (both paws), sleep, come when called, just to name a few of my talents.
I hope mom takes me back soon… I love to go. I usually bark in the parking lot once I get there, knowing what’s is store for me… FUN!

When I was just a Pup I had little to no manners.
Jumping on people, barking, pulling on the leash… the list was long.
Now I am a shinning example of a labrador. Obedient, behaved, and happy!
Thanks to all my classes at J9’s K9’s I have learned, with positive leadership, to behave and act like a canine good citizen.
You won’t find any choke collars here! No shouting, pinching, alpha rollovers or growling, just FUN & GAMES!
All of the trainers are great, but I’ve got a doggie crush on Stephanie.
Janine and her staff keep you and your pooch entertained while you both learn the secrets of great dog training.
They train at several locations in the valley. I went to the indoor one above C & C pet food in Canoga Park.
