Lake Cumberland K-9 Training Center, LLC

After they failed to deliver on what we were promised, I posted a review to their Facebook page voicing my displeasure with the end results and the poor customer service. One of the owners then proceeded to stalk my Facebook page and personally attacked me on the review comments section on their Facebook page. Basically told me I was a horrible person and didn't deserve to have a dog, citing posts from my personal Facebook page and using them to say I was a horrible person. This is the most unprofessional business (I use that term loosely) I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. This is not an isolated incident as I read through the reviews on their page and anyone who left a negative review the personally attacked each person, calling them liars etc... I would find any other business to do this work if you can! Absolutely horrible!!!! More...

Everyone was super friendly and the place immaculate . Snickers has been home 2 days and still doing everything I’m so happy and so glad that I done it! Thank you ALL❤️

Roxy had a blast when she attended this Boot Camp. She stayed for three weeks. When she came home she was so much more calm! She quit knocking my four-year-old over and didn’t really play bite the first few days. She listens a lot better but still has trouble sometimes because she is still a puppy. We are very happy with the results of this training and would gladly recommend it to anyone looking to train their pet. The most impressive part to me is that she definitely always goes to the door when she wants to go out and has not had a single accident since she’s been home. Like I said she’s not perfect but she is still a puppy and I did not expect her to be perfect when she got home. It’s going to take a lot of work on all of our parts and I am very grateful for all the hard work do you like Cumberland K-9 Training Center team put in. Thank you all for all your hard work. It really shows! More...

I can’t express how grateful we are for you all! Our hands were tied with our new doodle puppy and we had two small children as well. Charlie was to the point to where we could not do anything with her. We honestly was about to give up! She did the 3 week training course, and has been home 4 days now. Wow, the change is INSANE. She’s not by any means perfect...but her behavior and adjustments since training is TREMENDOUS. Her peeing when excited has completely eliminated, she does NOT jump or nibble on the kids, she follows her commands with us, I get so proud when she rings her doorbell to go use the bathroom (the excitement you get when your kids potty for the first times ). Truly, we could not recommend a better play then Lake Cumberland.. well worth it. I would do it over again without hesitation. ❤️❤️ More...

Just spent over 45 minutes on the phone with the owner and trainer of Lake Cumberland K-9 Training Center Alisa, Streetmans Shepherds will always recommend this wonderful woman and company for all training needs because she CARES! Alisa is the type of person who calls you at 6:45pm at night because she loves what she does and she loves our Shepherds! We love Alisa and the results she has provided for the dogs we have sent to her and will continue to go to Alisa for all of our training needs. More...

I highly recommend LCK K-9 training. My sweet girl was having trouble with potty training, would not walk on a leash, chewed everything in sight, wouldn’t obey any commands, and was just about scared of everything. After spending 3 weeks in the boot camp she was a different puppy. She knows and obeys several commands. We enjoy 2-3 walks around the track every day. She no longer chews things that are not hers. We were able to take her to our parents for Christmas on a 4 day trip and she did perfect there as well. I am so happy I decided to enroll her in training school. If you are considering it, you can’t go wrong with this school. They love all the animals and treat them so good. I definitely will use them again should I get another fur baby I’m the future.

Absolutely love this training center. Alisa and her staff are excellent with the fur babies. Her facility is a state of the art training center that follows safety and health regulations. ..you would never know an animal lived until the building. I am super pleased with the training and care they showed my 4 month standard poodle. She was there for me in any way and did her very best to do what I asked her to do. She would always answer my calls and posted videos and photos every day. She is a blessing from God and is definitely in her element. Thanks so much, Lake Cumberland K-9! More...

This was baileys last option before finding a new home and let me tell you... she is here to stay. When we dropped Bailey off I had very little hope because of how naughty and wild she was.

I thought there was no hope for Layla. She's stubborn and hard headed. Does what she wants when she wants to do it attitude. No, not all issues were corrected 100% as that takes a lot more time then 5 weeks and a lot of work on my part, but a good portion of her bad behaviors have been corrected. We had a few issues 2-3 days after Layla came home. Alicia drove over an hour to my house to let us know what we were doing wrong. I wish I had found this place when Layla was younger, as I would have had the needed tools to have control of her before the behaviors set in. More...

We just picked up our two adult (1 and 4) year German Shepherds and the transformation has been amazing. Yes, they are testing us, Boomer the young one just lays down when he doesn't want to do a command or trick, but the behavior is amazing. No more jumping or knocking into you on purpose. The playful biting has stopped. My 7 year old is able to walk with them on a leash without pulling and when we stay stop they obey and will sit. When we yell "car" they go over to the grass and sit down. We've even had some successful time outs or "down and stays" for getting into trash. I can't say enough about how wonderful this has been. The training when we picked them up made us all confident even my kids that we could work with them everyday and continue their training! They were so loved while they were away and the socializing they got there was great!!! Can't thank you all enough! More...

Our Lucy, a golden retriever/lab mix was completely out of control so we sent her to Alicia and her team for the 3 week boot camp.

The rest is up to us and some consistency in keeping up with what Lucy was taught. Alicia is willing to come to our house an hour away if we need her too if Lucy falls back into some of her more obnoxious habits but I'm not sure we will need her too, she sends home a pretty comprehensive corrections manual specialized just for your pet.

In rebuttal to Mr. Andrew Cheek, yes we did shut down and do a massive cleanup. We had an isolated incident that our vets feel was not contagious nor do they feel it was caused from any unsanitary conditions. We are the only proactive facility that pays out of our pockets to have three vets contracted to inspect our facility on a regular basis. We have tried to get laws passed for all animal facilities to have monthly health inspections as we pay our vets to do. All of this is unfounded and Mr. Cheek took A tour of our facility the day he dropped off his dog bragging on how clean and sanitary we kelp our facility. Dogs are no different than children going to school, there will be stomach bugs, colds, we did the right thing by shutting down and having all the dogs picked up by owners and vacate. There were two dogs still here that we kept isolated because the owners were out of the country on vacations. we have not had any sickness and all the dogs that came back to training that we sent home were perfectly healthy. He said that he was going to do research, if he had truly did this then he would have know that we did a massive clean up even thought it was found not to even be needed. I laid all my employees off for those 10 days and lost several thousands of dollars because of it. I would rather be safe than sorry and to remain as proactive as we are here at Lake Cumberland K-9 Training Center, LLC. The dogs health comes first and formost before training!! Here is my FB post that you can certainly go and find on my page June 26,2018. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION AND WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVIENCE! We had a dog come for boarding that had a bacterial pneumonia and 10 days age we had to do a partial shut down. We had all the owners to pick up their dogs and big puppies from training, did a deep cleaning and sterilization of the building inside and out, laid off my employees for a week and ran things mostly by myself. I had two dogs that could not be picked up because the families were out of the country in Europe and Finland. So I quarantined them to one room of the building and one dog run until they went home. We and our veterinarian closely monitored these two dogs during the days here. Neither one came down with this pneumonia and went home in perfect condition. I did not shut down the puppy side of the building because they are isolated to a totally different part of the building. All puppies went home healthy and the three I still have are in great condition. We purchased cleaning supplies from one of our vets along with isolation gowns to wear. All of the dogsscheduled to come back are doing just fine so we feel it was an isolated incident. BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY!! We worked along side with one of our vets to insure the safety of the dogs of which ALWAYS comes first with us! One of our vets also did a complete inspection of our facility and found it to be extremely clean and sanitary. For those of you who are not aware, we have contracted three different vets to do inspections and to take care of everone here at the facility. I do not know of any other facility around that pays a vet, much less 3 vets to keep us updated on information, so we remain as proactive as possible! If I could pass a law that all facilities had to have a health inspection I would. We have tried but to no avail. I jumped the gun and evacuation was not necessary, but as I stated, BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY! One of my vets told me the other day, "Alisa it is not what happens that is important as what you do about it! You run a school and viruses are going to happen. Stay proactive as you have been and you will always gain respect from owners and staff!" More...

I contacted this facility out of desperation when my lab became aggressive with my, then, 5 year old son. I left a message and she called me the next day. I was ready to re-home my pup (who was about 7 years old at the time and nearly 100lbs). He had been through a very traumatic event(our three dogs got out of the fence and the alpha of the three was hit and killed on E. Hwy 80 leaving he and our boxer very depressed and confused) so I wanted a professional opinion before I pulled the trigger on giving him away. She agreed that he would probably need to be re-homed, but wanted to see for herself before she gave a definite opinion. She came to my home the following evening. She spent about 3 hours in our home, first observing then training. She didn't train the dog- she trained my 5 year old son!! She showed us how to make him the "pack leader". She showed him how to feed him, walk him on a leash, and how to make him obey commands of sit, lay down, and stay from this kid who was a third of his weight! She taught us how to continue what she showed us and encouraged us to call her if we had any further questions. We were so amazed and grateful we now had an option of keeping our baby!! What she gave us was priceless but SHE REFUSED TO LET US PAY HER A DIME!!! She was just happy to help us keep our family together and to sheild us from suffering another loss. Alisa is an amazing person, compassionate and caring, doing what she does because she cares! Nanook is now 10, almost 11 years old and has never again offered to be aggressive with our now 8 year old and 3 year old sons!! Our 8 year old is still in charge and has no fear of this dog who still out weighs him by 40lbs! She is a blessing and we will always be grateful for her!! More...
