We sent our redbone coonhound, Brandi to Hannah for reactivity and on leash board and training and she came back so much more confident! Hannah was so great with her and taught her how to heel, go to her place, sit, lay down, come, and regulate her emotions in stressful situations - she was even able to stay in heel while another dog was nearby which is leaps and bounds from where we started.

Hannah was so great with her and taught her how to heel, go to her place, sit, lay down, come, and regulate her emotions in stressful situations - she was even able to stay in heel while another dog was nearby which is leaps and bounds from where we started. She is so much less nervous and seems ready to take on the world vs. being scared of it. We are so excited about her progress and can’t wait to keep working with her ourselves! Less

Thanks to the foundation and system Karissa established, Tucker is much easier to control and redirect, both at home and on walks.When Tucker returned, we went on a walk with Karissa and encountered another dog. Tucker displayed some behaviors that he hadn't shown during the board and train when we weren't present. Karissa has continued to support us by bringing dogs to our home for training sessions and recreating similar scenarios. This ongoing support has greatly boosted our confidence, and we now enjoy taking Tucker on walks again. Less

We had the pleasure of having Martin as his trainer, he was outstanding from the start! His expertise and understanding of the breed truly stood out to us.The main goals of Ares' program was to work on impulse control, verbal/non-verbal cues and on-leash/off-leash obedience and Martin delivered exactly what we were looking for!Martin's training methods are clear, consistent, and focused on positive reinforcement, making the process enjoyable for both us and Ares. We’re now able to trust him off-leash in various environments, which has been a game-changer in our daily life with him. His guidance and knowledge has been invaluable and we're excited about the progress we've already made and hopefully lead into a competitive sport.Martin took the time to understand Ares’ temperament and tailored the training to fit his specific needs, which really made a difference. He is always patient and clear in his explanations, and we appreciated his willingness to answer any questions we had and continue to have.Huge thanks to Cornerstone K9 and Martin, Ares is now not only more well-behaved but also confident and focused. We're looking forward to continuing our training with him and we highly recommend Cornerstone K9 to anyone seeking top-quality dog training! Less

I can't recommend Sherman enough! He worked wonders with my Golden Retriever, Basil. Basil has always been a sweet dog, but he had a few behavior issues that were proving challenging. From the first session, Sherman was calm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to understand both Basil’s personality and our goals for training.Sherman’s approach is both positive and structured, which helped Basil learn quickly while also building his confidence. Not only did Sherman help Basil with basic obedience commands, but he also addressed some behavioral issues that had been a challenge for us. The improvement we’ve seen in such a short amount of time is incredible.What I truly appreciate about Sherman is his communication. He’s always available to answer questions and offers great follow-up tips between sessions. Basil has not only learned a lot, but he’s also grown more confident and well-behaved. I’m so grateful for Sherman’s guidance, and I’ll definitely continue to work with him to keep Basil on the right track.If you're looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and effective dog trainer, Sherman is absolutely the person to go to!

Cornerstone K9 has been a wonderful company with which to work. I've used them for both training and boarding for my rescued Rottweiler. I am very protective of my Rottweiler because Rotties can be stubborn and have such an underserved bad reputation in the public eye. Therefore, it was essential to have trainers who could appreciate the exceptional personality traits of a Rottweiler. If there are any failures in my dog's training, they are my own because I'm slack about reinforcing as often as I should. He's so well-behaved that I forget he still needs that reinforcement occasionally! One of my goals was to be sure that I could comfortably walk him around my neighborhood. Well, Kaitlin did a fabulous job with him. He's non-reactive when passing other animals and knows how to switch between my heel command and my "free" command so that he can sniff to his heart's content.I also want to point out that whenever I have had follow-up questions/needs, someone has always responded quickly...always the same day. I love boarding him with Cornerstone because I know that he'll get tons of love and affection and will also have his skills reinforced. Whenever my boy gets to see Kaitlin, he is so happy - my evidence that he's in excellent hands! Less

We chose Cornerstone K9 to address our dog’s reactivity issues. They seem like a great fit for generic puppy and obedience training, but we were disappointed with the one-size-fits-all experience of the board and train.After our dog completed the three-week on/off-leash training program and after practicing at home, we reached out with our concerns about our dog’s ongoing reactivity. We asked multiple times about the group classes, but unfortunately, we never received information about the location of these classes. Then, we asked about follow-up private training sessions, emphasizing that the ecollar approach wasn’t working for us. The email response continued to emphasize the use of the ecollar.We felt like we weren’t listened to at all and they kept pushing the same training methods that didn’t work. We understood the theory behind the ecollar, but it was just masking our dog’s anxiety. When it wasn’t effective for us, we wished they had more flexibility to try a different technique or another trainer. Now we have to spend more money and start over with a different training service.

Best dog boarding and training in the area. They went above and beyond to take care of my puppy and I’m forever grateful!

Our dog has some complicated health concerns, and Sierra is an absolute gem.

Our dog has some complicated health concerns, and Sierra is an absolute gem. She really helped us to see what is "normal" but also how we can modify things to make them fit our lifestyle and what is best for our pup. We highly recommend Cornerstone K9!Our sweet girl, Noir, has an absolute cocktail of health problems- she's a rescue from a hoarding situation and when we adopted her as a puppy, she had some GI upset and a UTI that they thought would settle with antibiotics. Except the UTI wouldn't go away and if it did it always came back and her stomach has always been sensitive... Our pup was going to the bathroom 17x a day. This was our first puppy, as our first dog was an adult when we brought her home, so we didn't know what was normal for potty training. We felt like we were failing her both in health and potty training. We were working with our vet closely trying different foods, feeding schedules, and constantly testing for UTI's and other conditions. I think she was at the vet almost every week!After a scary week at NC State Emergency and Internal Medicine where we didn't know if Noir would be able to come home, we found out she has spinal fluid in her brain which caused some under development and difficulty with her bladder.She was off to a late start on a lot of training because we had to prioritize her health over socializing etc. We couldn't get her spayed until she was over a year old due to some anatomy defects the vet wanted to wait out.Sierra entered the picture when our pup was around 1- 1.5 years old. Our first dog had recently passed and Noir wasn't handling it well. She had always had some barking issues in our small fenced yard but she had started to bark all hours of the night and was showing a lot of unrest. That coupled with our struggles potty training and we knew it was time to call!I called and had a detailed conversation with Cornerstone and based on that they knew Sierra would be the right trainer to connect us with. They also advised that due to Noir's behaviors at home training would be best for her. Right from the start we immediately felt at ease. Sierra had such a special way with Noir. Noir absolutely loved her! Sierra was able to explain Noir's body language and the cause of the barking in the yard and we troubleshooted ways to go about it. Another trainer had previously told us Noir was scared when she was actually just trying to Alert us that there's stuff in the yard and by looking at her, we didn't realize we were enabling her behavior!We had a lot of things to learn with Noir and over 5 lessons, Sierra adjusted as needed for Noirs learning capabilities and aptitudes! I'm not going to say Noir never barks now or that she doesn't potty in the house. We realized after trying everything that potty training just won't be 100% with her little body and health, but it's significantly better than before. Sierra helped remove a lot of guilt we had as pet parents and helped reassure us of the right steps to take. We are so incredibly thankful to her! We now have the tools to help Noir feel more confident and secure at home and it's up to us to keep building on it! Less

Erin was the best trainer she is so knowledgeable and our dog came back so obedient and even corrected his separation anxiety!!!!

From Chaos to Calm If you’ve ever had a dog steal a sock and swallow it whole, you know the mix of horror, panic, and regret that follows.

From Chaos to Calm If you’ve ever had a dog steal a sock and swallow it whole, you know the mix of horror, panic, and regret that follows. That was our life with Apollo, our sweet but mischievous poodle. At six months old, he was a sock thief, a medical glove addict, and a regular at the emergency vet. In just four days, we had to rush him to the vet twice because he swallowed things whole—no chewing, just straight down. And the counter surfing? It was non-stop. Conversations in our house went like this: "I started a new show on Netflix—NO! Off! Get down!" We were exhausted. The stress was constant. That’s when we knew we needed help. From the very first contact, Gina, the coordinator, was incredibly responsive and helpful. She answered all our questions and made the process smooth from the start. And then there was Erin. She didn’t just train Apollo—she transformed him. From the moment we dropped him off, she was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. She made sure we understood how to keep up the training so Apollo’s progress wouldn’t stop the moment he came home. Even after the training, she’s been very responsive with follow-ups, despite being incredibly busy working with other dogs. That level of dedication really stood out to us. The Results? Nothing Short of Amazing. Apollo understands boundaries now. No more sock-stealing. No more rock-eating. No more emergency vet visits. And the biggest shock? I was repotting my plants—something that used to be a disaster with Apollo munching on dirt and small rocks. This time, I told him “No” once. Just once. And he walked away and never bothered it again. I was stunned. More Freedom, Less Stress. The biggest change? Peace of mind. We can finally cook in the kitchen without guarding every ingredient like a hawk. I don’t have to watch him every second, wondering if he’s about to eat something dangerous. The sentence I keep saying is: “I can’t believe he won’t do that anymore.” And because he’s so much better behaved, he actually has more freedom. We’re still reinforcing the training, but honestly? I think he’ll be ready for full independence soon. Now, instead of getting into trouble, he looks to us for guidance and makes good choices on his own. Final Thoughts: If You’re on the Fence, Just Do It. I can’t recommend Cornerstone K9 and Erin enough. Gina made the process smooth, and Erin worked absolute magic with Apollo. If you're even thinking about professional training, trust me—just do it. It’s the best decision we’ve ever made for Apollo, and honestly? For our sanity, too. Less

We worked with Sierra through the private in person lessons and Gina on the admin side. I don't think we could have asked for a better training or customer service experience with Cornerstone K9. We spoke with Gina over 3-4 weeks before we actually started training and she was super responsive and helpful, answering all of our training and unrelated training questions for our new pup, which we greatly appreciated. After numerous phone calls and text message threads we eventually signed up with Sierra and had another wonderful experience. Sierra's style is very engaging and supportive throughout the entire lesson and takes advantage of every minute she is with you to make sure that you and the dog are understanding the process and commands. She is a very clear communicator and is very responsive to follow up text messages when we needed to clarify on training. We would definitely highly recommend Sierra to any first time dog owners.

They were the ONLY place that said they could work with us and our specific goals PLUS they understood our unique situation and literally took HOURS helping design our plan. Plus after 12 different phone calls, they were the ONLY place that didn't recommend us to rehome or remove two of our dogs, that are just a bit shier than most. They truly care about dogs and your family's relationship with them. Gina, Jeff, and Carissa (and I'm sure the other trainers) are above and beyond great humans. And ALL 9 of our dogs liked Carissa right off the bat. So glad we found this organization and looking forward to our continuing journey. Less

Highly recommend !! We started with Cornerstone k9 in September 2024 with our 2.5 year old standard schnauzer for reactivity. She had gone to puppy classes and daycare that trained her, but she acted completely different with us. My husband and I were exhausted by her and starting to go crazy. Relaxing walks were impossible with Pippa as she lunged and barked at bikes, dogs, runners… she didn’t listen to us. She would go crazy on our balcony if another dog walked by. Her barking was getting impossible and I was fed up with “positive reinforcement training”. My dog was too smart for that. We met with Jordyn and within the first session she was able to reassure us that Pippa’s body language told her that she’s not an aggressive dog, she’s barking because she’s scared. Within one month of working with Jordyn, Pippa was a completely different dog. Attentive, relaxed on walks, and much less barky. I tell people that working with a dog trainer is just as much to help train you. Jordyn was so good at explaining the psychology of Pippa and why she’s doing something. Then from there, helping us learn tricks and tools to shift her focus, and had us practicing with her. Over time, Pippa understood that Jordyn was a dog trainer and would behave well with her and then differently with us. So I was able to send Jordyn videos of Pippa throughout the week showing what we were struggling with and she’d give us tips and talk us through what to do in those situations at our next meeting. It’s so beneficial working with a dog trainer because you become more aware of other dog owners and what they’re doing or not doing correctly. So it helps you better assess situations to help keep your dog safe and set them up for success. It has been so helpful! We opted to train in person rather than boarding. We’d meet Jordyn every 2 weeks so we had time to practice what she was showing us to do. Really great experience! I’ve been raving about it to everyone. People have been so impressed at how much calmer Pippa is now. Less

We had a great experience with Karissa from Cornerstone K9! After a lot of research, we decided to go with Cornerstone and have our rottie puppy do the 3 week board and train! It has done wonders. Our boy no longer resource guards, has learned new commands, super comfortable and sleeping through the night in his crate, developed better leash manners, was socialized and taken on so many field trips! When she dropped him off after the program, she spent 2 hours with us going over everything he has learned and was the most patient with all of our questions and extemely knowledgable. She truly exceeded our expectations. Also, Yeti absolutely LOVES her and her own animals she has at home. He gets so excited when he sees her. My fiancée and I like telling him he’s going to stay with his second moms when we have to board him. We’ve now had two instances where we had last minute travels due to work and Karissa happily takes in our little man! The trust he has with her makes us happy and we know we are leaving him in good hands. We don’t want him to stay anywhere else moving forward! Less

So far we’ve only had 5 sessions with her and we’re seeing such a big difference with our little girl. She’s helped us get our little pup to be less reactive to our other dog and helped us create a safe “place” for her to go to when she’s feeling stressed or overwhelmed. When we first introduced “place” to her, she wouldn’t relax in that spot. Now, she willingly walks over to put herself in “place” or goes if we tell her, and calms herself down in under 2 minutes.

After a 3 week stay with Tyler and his family he came back with sooooo many skills ! The foundations Tyler was able to put into place are amazing! We now can go on walks/runs and enjoy training together! Tyler has responded to any question or concern I had in a timely manner at all times. I can’t wait to see how far we can go !

Let me start by saying: What an amazing company! Customer service was on point and the training.....simply phenomenal. I have a Cane Corso (Drako) who my wife and I took in our home after our neighbor passed away. The thing is, Drako was very aggressive towards people and other dogs and lacked basic obedience. Luckily we had gone over their home plenty of times and Drako is fine with me and my wife. We tried all that we could to address the aggression issue at home, but we live very busy lifestyles, and found it very difficult for people to volunteer their presence to socialize an aggressive Cane Corso (understandably so...). We couldn't take Drako anywhere and we dreaded having company over. Its been quite the emotional roller coaster. Nonetheless we decided to give Cornerstone a shot and from the second Gina picked up the phone, to the moment we received Drako back, I had nothing short of a great experience. The trainer updated us daily on Drako's progress and made sure that when we did the handoff, that my wife and I were set up for success. Usually when dealing with allt of these dog training companies, I feel like they are clueless as to handle a dog like Drako without using harsh/abusive methods....Im 100% positive that Drako had a blast. He absolutely adored the trainer and even made great friends with the trainer's personal dogs. Fast forward 1 week later, we decided to introduce Drako (on leash) to the outside area of our local dog Park --we like to go to Riverside. Drako was a little weary at first so we even facetimed the trainer, who actually picked up the phone and walked us through it in real time. Im so glad we did that because, my wife and I are not dog trainers and could have easily undone Drako's progress. Long story short, we have had our boy back for 3 weeks and we are at the point where Drako is perfectly neutral and calm around people and the crazy dogs at the dog park....Simply blown away by the company and the results!

I am very upset with the ”training” my dog received. I had my dog signed up for a dog board and training program - it was half puppy and half on leash training for two weeks. When the trainer picked my dog up she said she would update me as much as I wanted and she even spoke about how some clients would ask to receive less text updates from her. In my experience I didn’t receive a text back for two days….i am normally passive so I waited to hear a response for a couple days which I completely regret. I ended up calling and she stated she didn’t hear my text and answered questions. She also said she would provide me a list of toys that would provide stimulus for my dog which was never sent. When I had called she asked if she could change the day of the pick up from Sunday to Monday - I agreed. Right before pick up she got into an accident… I picked my dog from the accident and that’s where she decided she would do the training to go home. Fast forward to when she got home and nothing changed my dog wasnot potty trained, she didnt know commands except for sit which I had already taught her and not trained around cats. I spent 2,000 dollars. After she came back for a total of 15 min to follow up and didn’t really teach me anything. My dog kept barking in the cage and I asked for help with this and she suggested a bark collar that I buy through them and it was 10 dollars more than the actual cost of it if I were to buy online. She also said she would come help train my dog with this collar and never followed up with that. If I am paying this much I expect to be updated about my dog that’s been sent there and also for at least a little progress. Obviously not looking for perfection but just so disappointed I spent my money here when I should have gone somewhere else. This was such a disorganized company I am so upset by the communication it’s really unacceptable Less

Megan came by a few days later for a home consult and explained the process and is very knowledgeable and friendly.Enter Kaitlyn, his trainer. She is great! She posts pictures & videos throughout board and train is available for questions and updates. I also boarded Kai with her afterward. He was well taken care of and brushed up on his training - and he loves her and her dogs! I just contacted Kaitlyn and Gina, Kai is now looking forward to his 2 week off-leash program next month!If you are looking for a place to board or send your dog to training, this is the place!Thank you the owners & staff at Cornerstone K9 for making me feel comfortable and treating Kai like your own!

I can’t even begin to express the wonders Kaitlyn worked with our boys and us! We were introduced to e-collars as a tool for recall and keeping focus when walking or out in public. I appreciated how she worked with them and us to make sure everyone was learning. We also got to do some public outings to really amp up their experience and learning. Many friends and family have commented on the difference and how much more confident and laid back they are. Not to mention all the compliments when out and about on how well mannered they are!This is the best money we have ever spent and it has been a huge quality of life improvement for all of us.

Having to go out of town for a few weeks, I had to board my working Malinois puppy (8 months). Cornerstone k9 not only offers a clean and orderly boarding facility, but also has a rolodex of highly skilled and experienced trainers on staff. In order to facilitate my canines working and training program for competitive bite sports, I also threw in the puppy sports foundation package to ensure he would obtain the mental stimulation and continuing sports foundation in my absence. I cannot emphasize enough the development my dog obtained in the 2.5 weeks with Jeff and his staff. The ability for CK9 to read and evaluate my dog to exploit and harness his genetic potential was immeasurable. I dropped him off to CK9 as what I would consider moderate potential to excel in bite sports. Upon pickup from CK9, my pup was a completely different dog. His confidence level was elevated, and the ignition and determination he brings to the trial field is wrought with desire and ambition. The experienced decoys Jeff has on staff (Martin, Erika, Tyler) all were able to work and develop my dog and show him different pictures. The CK9 team created a more well rounded monster that plans on trialing in the next year for his PSA-PDC and going as far as his genetic potential allows with the support of Cornerstone K9. -W Less

I reached out to them via the inquiry option on the website. The scheduling team reached out very quickly to assess my needs and find the right trainer. My dog had received professional training a little over a year ago but was showing some fear/anxiety after being bitten by another dog. Karissa was chosen as she specializes in behavioral concerns. We did the 6 session package. My dog loved her and listened intently. Karissa also provided TONS of great general information about my dog’s breed, tips for various environments and what other options there are for her. She is extremely knowledgeable and it shows. My dog is now confident again and has done so well in different social situations. Side note, as someone from a military family, I personally loved that this company is vet-owned and that Karissa is a vet. Having that background also speaks to the level of care and experience received. We plan to continue to utilize their other training and socialization options. Less

I was excited but as a first time dog owner I was unsure of what to do. I just knew that I wanted him to have the best training and care. I was able to schedule a call with Gina to discuss my needs. She was able to give me some helpful tips and I decided that in-home training would be ideal until he was old enough for the board and train program. We were matched with Tyler who has been a true gem and blessing to us! Tyler is knowledgeable, dedicated, compassionate and thorough. Tyler was very caring and kind. He was honest and reliable. I greatly appreciate that he took the time to let me know what I was or wasn’t doing that made it more challenging for Kyle. Prior to board and training, Kyle received a not so good report from his first grooming visit. After board and train he received glowing reviews and the groomer couldn’t believe how well he did with his first visit with her. I was so delighted to see how well his leash manners improved as well. Kyle received excellent training and care. We both learned a lot and I feel completely confident to continue to build on the foundation built through training. It was really nice to get the pics and videos during the two week program. Tyler really listened to me and made sure I felt secure and confident to continue to work with my pup on the skills he learned. CornerstoneK9 worked with me for MONTHS to make sure we had everything we needed. They were patient and compassionate the whole way through. Gina was kind enough to provide tips to get Kyle through his puppy shots. I can’t thank them enough. They absolutely went above and beyond for me and Kyle. I would recommend them to anyone who wants the best training and care for their fur-baby. I’m looking forward to Kyle boarding when needed. It’s nice to know he’ll be with the same crew that’s been showing him love since I brought him home. Thanks Gina, Jeff and Tyler!! Less

He’s an incredibly sweet dog with a ton of energy. We were drawn to the 3 week off leash recall training program as we felt it would be best for our current circumstances.

You can tell that Karissa has such a great talent for working with animals. Gus was so comfortable and secure when with her. We are so grateful for all she did to give not only Gus but us a strong foundation to continue to build on. We feel as though Karissa extended us the life jacket we needed! I truly cannot express how wonderful our experience was from beginning to now. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Cornerstone and Karissa when we need to board Gus in the future.

It’s been almost a year since I first got into contact with cornerstone k9 and I feel like I’m finally ready to talk about my poor experience now that I have a new dog that I would never even consider using this company for which I definitely will be hiring a trainer so just shows how much I don’t want to work with them. When I contacted cornerstone k9 it was to do the 2 week puppy package and said my puppy learns commands very quickly so mostly he needs to work on holding those commands, finish potty training and most importantly not jump. They said no problem and I would be working with Jeff the owner and Chris who works out of their main facility. First switch up I received was that I would be working with Gina instead (who wasn’t even listed as one of the companies trainers). While my dog was at his board and train I started to feel uneasy about some of the updates I was getting regarding potty training including that he had 2 accidents in the crate because she left him too long. And then also the attached photo about potty training. Teaching a 5 month old dog to be potty trained is a training they should be able to do and said they’d be able to do when I initially contacted instead of then being told we just need to watch them. EVERY actual potty trained dog knows how to notify their human they want to go out. When I did get him back at the drop off they have a session and I didn’t even know what to say when they dropped him off because he didn’t even listen to her during that with the commands and the jumping was still so bad. I was so disheartened that it took me a few days but I contacted back with all my concerns that progressed into having Jeff come to my house and he want listening to him either so they took him back for a week. In that week I’d say he did come home being able to hold commands better but I was provided this video where you can see Jeff coaching Gina on how to train. If my dog was going to be the guinea pig to teach Gina to become a trainer I should have been made aware because I paid for a top tier trainer. As for the jumping they said they worked on having him in a place command before people entered the room to work on jumping. That doesn’t help him not jump people are coming and going from my house and I take my dog out in public I wanted my dog not to jump on people and they said they could but their version of that isn’t teaching him not to jump but to have him on a place command that’s not realistic and asking a trainer to help a dog know not to jump isn’t an unrealistic ask. Eventually the conversation got so heated that I was put in contact with the manager Megan to introduce him to an off leash training collar. I don’t have a bad experience with Megan but also my dog is over 1 years old and still jumps on anyone that walks in the door. During training I just got a lot of “well he’s just a puppy” but why have a puppy program if you don’t expect a puppy to retain that. I did a lot of research and read a lot of google reviews before selecting this company so this is for the 20 something year old doing the same. I have completely trained my dog to be off leash with recall but the basics this company was supposed to teach are still issues like jumping he definitely does on anyone in my house and he tries out in public but prong collar, he will pull me on leash without his prong collar, and of course he’s potty trained now but they didn’t really do anything to help with that. I can’t vouch for any of the other programs but the puppy program is a joke. Less

I had Azrael, my Belgian Malinois puppy, evaluated for the PSA program, and Jeff saw the training potential in him. After this initial meeting, and discussing training options and needs for boarding, I was impressed with the easy way he handled Azrael without being forceful, his knowledge of the breed, and their specific training needs. I then opted to send Azrael for the 3 week puppy program at Cornerstone K9 and I am so glad I did. Jeff clearly treated Azrael like family while he was there, and made some magic happen in the little time he had Azrael with him. When he left, he would not walk on a leash without biting me and/or the leash. He came back a new puppy, with manners on walks that he did not have prior to his board and train program at Cornerstone. Jeff, the owner of the company, opted to train Azrael himself, rather than have one of his other trainers complete the program. At the end of the program, Jeff consulted with me and answered a plethora of questions along with offering insight to my dog's specific needs. Azrael came home with some new equipment, and health supplements from Jeff to get him started off right so he grows up big and strong, while staying lean and healthy. Jeff trained with me and Azrael in our home environment and our neighborhood, tackling some specific issues that arose as we walked to the dog park. At the end of the drop off training, I was armed with knowledge and confidence that I could keep up with Azrael's training, since Jeff worked so hard these past weeks to set him up for success. Azrael was a bit sad to see his adopted family/trainer leave after the drop off training session. I hope to visit Sanford to start participating in other training programs soon, and I have the off-leash program on my list of next upcoming programs for Azrael. High drive breeds need more than a walk through the neighborhood, and Jeff knows the limitless potential can turn to destructive energy if you aren't consistent and if you don't use the right tools for the job. If you want a well behaved puppy/dog, even if you have a challenging breed, Cornerstone K9 should be your first stop. Invest in your dog, and I assure you that you will see a return on the investment immediately and it will continue to pay dividends. Less

She definitely helped us set a good foundation to developing better puppy manners. We needed a refresher for leash walking a few weeks after he returned home and she didn’t hesitate to squeeze us in to review again. I appreciate that they’re available whenever you have questions and that their support doesn’t just end after your pup completes a program with them! Everyone that ran into our boy after his training quickly noticed that he was a MUCH calmer guy :-) Less

Cornerstone K9 was great with our German / Husky mix!

Great working with Breanna. My energetic lab boy learned to listen and react to commands, and seemed to enjoy the attention and work.

Great trainer. Our dog was happy and and rambunctious. Came back happy and well behaved.

Our puppy Nova has such a great experience with Cornerstone K9. Her lease manners were improved and she learned many commands. And Nova was able to be exposed to other pups as well to help socialize. Lauren had great communication and was really helpful with reteaching what Nova learned... More

They also accept dogs for boarding, so we plan to board them there the next time we are going on vacation. I have referred my parents’ husky mix to them, so I am excited to see how he will do with the training once he returns. Less

We LOVE Megan, and CornerstoneK9! We have been once for the on leash and again for off leash training once our pup was a little older.

We loved our trainer and appreciated the work she did trying to help us 'fix' the bad behaviour of one of our dogs. Sadly we have more than one dog and the attempt to change the behaviour of one just isnt possible when she sees the others play. Her behaviour is excessive compared to the others and I dont think any training will fix that. She is slightly better and off medication but a failed ( and expensive) experiment. I think with the right dog, the experience would have been brilliant. So despite our disappointment, I recommend Cornerstone K9. Less

Awesome customer service and training. My dig was still a puppy and the behavior after the training was exceptionally great. Definitely recommend.

Jeff and Megan were amazing!!! They came to our home and did a personal assessment of our 8 year old Pit Mix who can be quite the bully. During the assessment they thoroughly explained their program, dogs behaviors , and how what their program offers. During the time spent with us they were observing us with our furry kid and was able to instantly tell us why our dog was doing what he was and how to correct. I was absolutely amazed and honestly shocked at how Jeff and Megan delt with him just like they had been knowing him forever. If you’re looking for A+ training Cornerstone K-9 is the one to go with. Sincerely, Rachell S. Less

We have been working with Chris for our pup Apollo. We started him just before a 3 months old and we’ve worked 4 sessions with him.

When my dog Willie Nelson was around 4 months old, he went through the puppy training program to get him started off on the right path. At first, I was a bit hesitant to hand my puppy over to someone to keep for two weeks, but I am so thankful I did! Willie came back with an understanding of many basic commands, sit, place, off, heal, and come. Building on those skills has been easy to do because Cornerstone K9 makes sure the dog owners have an understanding of how to handle their dog. They will do whatever is necessary to ensure you are comfortable with your dog.I also have used Cornerstone K9 for boarding. Lauren asked if there was anything specific we wanted her to work with Willie on, they don’t just keep your dog while your away, they continue working with them in their skills.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for training or boarding. They truly love animals and it is evident in the care they provide while our fur babies are in their hands. Less

His training has given us both the information and confidence we needed to know how to handle lots of different kinds of situations.

Cornerstone K9 is a company that you can trust to be kind and loving with your dog while giving them the best doggy education around! Less

My husband and I went on and out of country trip and used cornerstone K9 as our sitting company and once again they were absolutely incredible and very accommodating, especially on such a short notice. I have really enjoyed working with all of the different trainers and I am very thankful for their willingness to help when I reach out for extra coaching. They were also super great about sending us photos while he was off at camp and keeping us updated on his progress. They have always been very open and honest with us and really made things work. We are so thankful and I would always recommend them. Less

Scout, our Belgian Malinois came back to us dialed in and very responsive to our commands. We can “place” and he will stay until we release him.

My husband and I had a great experience with our puppy Pepper! My husband is disabled from an accident and our main goal was for her to follow commands to help improve his safety around our home. When Pepper arrived home she was like a new dog! She listens very well and has even stopped chewing on our walls (which was an added bonus)! We will definitely use this company again for our future pups!... More

We met with Megan and she was patient in answering all of our questions and, trust me, we had a lot! When it came to training we were paired with Karissa. On pick up day Karissa took the time to understand what we hoped to accomplish with our specific training. Throughout the three week training she provided updates and we saw in a short time that Willow was already making progress. When Karissa brought Willow home she spent time ensuring we understood how to continue the training at home so Willow would be successful! It’s been about a month and a half since Willow has been home and the change is amazing! She is better behaved and we can manage her high energy breeds and puppy energy so much better. Karissa has continued to answer any questions that have arisen and for that we are grateful. We cannot recommend Cornerstone K9 enough! Less

I have had the immense pleasure of working with Breanna at Cornerstone K9. My 5-month old puppy, Willow, attended the 2 week Puppy Training program. I was nervous about sending my sweet angel away for two whole weeks, but Breanna's calm demeanor and knowledge made any of my hesitancies fall away. I expressed to Breanna that Willow was having a bit of confidence issues and needed help reinforcing her potty training. Seeing her progress in real time via Instagram was awesome. Any time I texted Breanna, she answered right away and gave awesome updates on Willow's progress. When Willow came back, she was a transformed pup. She was a bit more mature and had all these new commands down. Breanna helped pass on the commands and made sure I was comfortable carrying on the training. I am so happy I found this company. If you are anything like me, you are probably researching dozens of companies to make sure you have the right fit. Trust me when I say that Cornerstone K9 is not only the best company you could choose, but the only one you should consider. Once Willow is older, I will 100% be sending her back for more training. Thank you all so much! 5 stars is really not enough! Also, if you all haven't guessed by now, Breanna is a literal rockstar!!! Less

Oh man - where to start? The day after I moved to North Carolina in June of 2023, my almost 2 year old Portuguese Water dog male was aggressive to one of our neighbors dogs while we tried to have a friendly greeting in the neighborhood while walking. While I'm sure that everyone's idea of aggressive is different, it was enough of a moment for me that I knew I needed more professional help than the bits and pieces of training I have picked up through the years - I felt our situation was well above my paygrade. I knew we were heading the wrong direction. I scoured the web for a trainer that did board and training, read every review I could find, and I'm *so*happy we found CornerstoneK9! Jeff and Chris were out to visit us within 24 hours of me making contact with their website. They sat with us for a couple of hours patiently answering all of our questions about what they would be able to help our Teddy work through. We agreed to doing one week of reactivity training along with 3 weeks of off-leash training. Teddy worked with the owner, Jeff. Jeff posted videos on Instagram, sent us pictures and kept in touch the entire time! Jeff was responsive to this overbearing dog-mom's every text which was greatly appreciated. Not in the way that he lived on his phone (what a relief - I loved knowing he stayed busy with the dogs instead), but I never felt ignored or like I was being too much (and I absolutely was😉)! Teddy has only been back home with us 24 hours and I already feel like we have a much more confident, obedient dog. Upon drop off, Jeff and Haylie made sure we had a gentle crash-course in what teddy has learned in his 4 weeks at training. The best thing they did that calmed our fears of forgetting everything they taught us on his drop-off, is that they have extended their refresher services, AT NO COST, for the life of our dog. I'm floored that they do this and plan to continue being the pain-in-the-ass dog mom with a hundred questions they've come to know over the last 4 weeks. (Haha, don't worry too much Jeff🙈)! Being away from our dog needed to be worth it, and I can honestly say I know we chose the absolute best company for the task! Huge thanks to Jeff and the entire crew responsible for helping us work towards a better relationship with our bestest boy, Ted! 🥰 Less

She clearly loves dogs and it was clear that he loved her. Her dogs were good influences on Zeke and he enjoyed playing with them. Lauren kept us up to date throughout the process with pictures and videos and detailed descriptions of what he was learning and how he was doing. She answered any questions we had along the way, she's very knowledgeable. When we got him back it was a bit overwhelming since he had learned so much but we still needed to learn it to be able to enforce it. Zeke certainly tested his old boundary's with us. Lauren came back out to our home and spend a while training us. Letting us practice while she watched and critiqued. We found this very helpful. She has made it clear that she's always willing to come out as much as we need for refreshers. We will certainly utilize this service to keep ourselves and Zeke fresh on the training. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. She took great care of our sweet pup and truly cares about his and our success! Less

I could not think of a better place to go for training assistance. Less

We are so happy our two dogs went to Cornerstone K9 for leash and reactivity training! Lauren made us feel comfortable by sending us daily pictures and updates. Our dogs are much better at leash walking now and our friends are so impressed with their abilities. Even after their training, we still reach out to Lauren for tips, shorter training sessions, and boarding for when we are away! Every tim... More

We are so happy our two dogs went to Cornerstone K9 for leash and reactivity training! Lauren made us feel comfortable by sending us daily pictures and updates. Our dogs are much better at leash walking now and our friends are so impressed with their abilities. Even after their training, we still reach out to Lauren for tips, shorter training sessions, and boarding for when we are away! Every time our dogs see Lauren they get so excited, so its clear they love her and that she takes good care of them. Going to Cornerstone was one of the best decisions we could have made for our dogs. Less
