Best thing I did for my dog and the family. Winston is a 16 month old pup that needed direction. He would try to chase anything and barked at everything. Maegan his trainer is incredible and after a couple weeks he came home a different dog. She asked what we would like to work on and she took care of it. He is a different pup now! I would recommend these trainers to anyone. More...

Absolutely amazing experience! Our trainer Maegan was is so sweet and patient with me. When she came to pick up Goose and I had about 45 min worth of questions and info about him she was so reassuring. He was with her for just over 2 weeks (she asked to keep him a few days because they went light on training a couple days due to his stomach being upset - so good to know she took care of him so well while working with him). He also had a vet appointment during that two-week+ period and she took him to our usual vet for his appointment - so nice to not have to reschedule! The videos she would send me constantly blew my mind..who’s dog is that behaving so well?!? On top of videos, she also sent pictures and updates along the way, and has been quick to answer all my questions via text since he came home. Planning another visit this week hopefully to reinforce a few issues still popping up. To that end, you do still have to do the work when they come home or you’ll find them easily slipping into past behaviors to see what they can get away with. But luckily this training truly has a lifetime guarantee because they know this and will continue to meet up with you and work with you to keep up the positive behavior. Highly recommend both overwatch and Maegan! It was harder than I thought it would be having him away for so long, but easier seeing how happy and proud he was through all the pictures and videos she sent me! More...

We are amazed at the results after working with Amanda. I absolutely loved the process of training - while it was hard to be away from our puppy for three weeks, I loved seeing the training videos and hearing about the incredible progress and details of what they were working on and new skills our Bernese Mountain Dog had learned. It was like Christmas each day. Our children I loved watching every video over and over. I loved Amandas approach to dog training and how she related so many things to parenting - which helps as we reinforce the training at home. I think everyone with a dog should work with her! We loved it. More...

Natalie was amazing! She kept is up to date on our girl the whole time. It was great getting the videos of our German Shepherd progress throughout the weeks and the cute pictures every now and again. I love that Raven is still her usual fun loving self, but more obedient. We were worried she would lose her personality with the intense training but she’s as happy as ever! Most impressively she’s gone from barking and reacting to every dog in sight to actually greeting and playing with our neighbor’s dog after a brief introduction. My husband and I couldn’t be more thrilled! More...

I could not have asked for a better experience and result!!! Maegan was amazing and it was obvious that she not only had a ton of knowledge and experience, but she truly cared for our puppy and trained her in a loving supportive way. We got Oakley to join my dental practice as a therapy/support dog for our patients that are anxious or have a fear of the dentist. Oakley has a ton of energy and to be honest, I wasn't sure how well she would do with training due to her immaturity and her goofy fun-loving spirit. The progress she made was nothing short of miraculous. She has mastered everything we wanted her to learn and is an All Star at our office. She has retained her training and is also receptive to our ongoing training at home. I cannot recommend OverWatch K9 Academy enough, they have truly exceeding any expectations I had by a mile. Very very happy customer here!! More...

Natalie, our trainer for our mini golden doodle, was wonderful to work with. The training and skills she taught our dog were excellent and just as described. Our puppy came back to us knowing all of the commands and was better mannered and well behaved. We could not be more pleased and excited with the results and our decision on choosing OverWatch K9 Academy for our dog training. We highly recommend them and Natalie for anyone considering training. We appreciate everything they have done and continue to do 😊 More...

23 October 2023

We absolutely loved Maegan. She taught our Labrador (Maverick) so much and she was so communicative on everything she was teaching our puppy. She would send us videos so we could see his progress which was amazing! I would recommend her for anyone who is thinking about having their dog trained. More...

18 October 2023

What a great experience for our two mini dachshunds! With one puppy and one adult, we got to send them together to learn, simultaneous commands and go through the process together. We received regular updates, and YouTube videos of their progress. Our trainer, Meagan was very patient, compassionate, and extremely talented at training these notoriously stubborn dogs. This has really helped us enjoy our fur babies in one on one and group settings. So happy to have found this group! More...

Our boy George, was trained by Amanda. From beginning to end she was amazing. He warned right up to her at the consult and remembered her and her chicken when she picked him up. We contacted k9 over watch to help with basic obedience and leash walking. He was un-walkable on a leash. He’s always been a sweet dog and never aggressive just not always a listener. While he was away we received multiple videos of George with Amanda so we could see his progress. Amanda was also amazing about communication. Every text or call was returned same day no matter what time. We love Amanda.
Since being home, we are able to walk him without pulling, even with distractions. He listens and obeys. Highly recommend for any training needs.

We worked with Natalie at OverWatch K9 to train our 6mo golden retriever puppy, Honey, and she did such a great job!!! We started out with the puppy lessons right when we brought Honey home for basic puppy training. We then sent Honey to train with Natalie at 6 months, and we are so grateful for the experience!! She did such a great job equipping Honey with the tools to be a well behaved and socialized dog. We received updates during the two weeks, which was so great to be able to know what Honey was learning. We are so excited with the results from the training and for Honey’s future success!! More...

12 October 2023

We have had such a good experience with the board and train. Our 6 month old pointer mix was a crazy girl before and is doing absolutely amazing after her board and train. Veronica did an amazing job with her. She knows her stuff and did a great job teaching the whole family how to continue our pups training at home. We are so so so happy we decided to do the board and train. More...

9 October 2023

Amanda did an amazing job with our chocolate lab Freddie! He is a very stubborn dog but since coming home we saw an immediate difference in his obedience and listening. Very grateful for this training program! More...

2 October 2023

Wonderful experience working with OverWatch K9 Academy! From start with Joey & Paige to training with Amanda, the time, knowledge, & patience that my dog, Ash, and I were shown exceeded my expectations! Loved the frequent videos, feedback, and confidence building in my ability to expect the same amazing results! So happy with my decision to choose OverWatch! 🙌🙌 More...

20 September 2023

From our first phone conversation to our drop off we had a phenomenal experience with Jessica and the Overwatch K9 team! Our lab puppy had an amazing 3 week training period and has learned numerous manners and commands that have continuously been utilized in our daily lives! More...

10 September 2023

I purposefully waited a bit after my Goldendoodle Goose was returned from her two week board and train to write this review because I was waiting to see if the new Goose, the incredibly calm and obedient Goose was only in a honeymoon phase…and that after a few days the old-Goose would possibly return…but my fears were put to rest. The transformation was more than I could have dreamed of! I’ve been in awe repeatedly throughout the days since her return home because the difference is truly phenomenal.
You need to understand where we started…and it wasn’t a good place.
You see I live with my elderly parents…I’m their sole caregiver and having an almost sixty pound hyper, non-listening and into everything dog was more than I could bare and became more that I could risk. As much as I love and adore my Goose girl, Overwatch K9…specifically Meghan was my last hope. The physical health of my parents had to come first and the constant risk/fear of them being knocked down by Goose’s rambunctiousness became more real every day. Again, Meghan WAS my last hope before having to make a decision that would have clearly broken my heart.
I’ve always trained my big dogs throughout my sixty plus years and they have always, always nailed their commands, including off-leash…that is until Goose. I not only felt like a failure in my training with her, I worried that possibly Goose was missing certain components to learn/retain much needed commands.
I am so incredibly grateful that I was wrong. And I am also incredibly grateful for the team at Overwatch K9…especially Meghan!
From day one Meghan calmly instilled faith in me that she could, that she “would” be able to make a difference in Gooses life which in return would help our lives.
And she came through with her promises BIGTIME!
I cannot recommend Overwatch K9 with any higher recommendations than the astounding proof and transformation of my girl Goose! I’ll be indebted forever to Meghan for her love and knowledge in helping my girl become become what I was only able to dream of…a lifelong and dearly loved family member.❤️

I truly can not be more grateful to have found K9 Overwatch. From my initial contact with Paige to our trainer Natalie I couldn’t be happier. Paige was very transparent about the issues we were having with Bear & offered amazing suggestions to try before we even considered signing him up to manage our expectations about training & that was greatly appreciated. Her suggestions worked & 2 weeks later Bear was a candidate for training & off to their trainer Natalie. The communication was amazing as well as the the videos along the way of Bear’s training. Natalie has such a heart for animals & is so intuitive about their behaviors I was beyond impressed. We are truly amazed at all she accomplished with Bear in just 2 weeks! We will be sending our older dogs to her in the fall because we are so impressed with all the training Bear received! Highly recommended! More...

Overwatch k9 Academy is a fantastic choice for training your pup! It’s very clear this team loves dogs and has incredible knowledge/experience. We went with the Advanced 2 week boarding program for our 6 month, GSD Boxer mix and it was an amazing experience. We are very happy and impressed with how much our dog has learned and how much more confident she is. Our dog did not have a lot of negative behaviors but she did lack discipline with listening to commands, recall and focusing. Amanda was our trainer and was extremely helpful and informative with our concerns and questions; she even helped change our pups diet to better her health! She was also very flexible with the meet & greet, pick-up/drop-off times which was a good stress reliever for our busy retail management work schedules. Amanda also made it very clear that she will always be available and open for any questions/problems that may arise in the future no matter how far out-WOW! We got daily videos and pictures of our girl while she was away and watched along with all her progress the whole time. She took great care of her and took our concerns seriously. More over, she coached us on how to handle her behaviors and what they mean and what our actions mean to her which boost our communication with her. Overall great experience, loved the program, totally recommend for any dog owner!! Definitely worth the money. It will last for years/decades to come; save for many future head-aches of trying to manage a misbehaving pup! Thank you Overwatch k9 Academy and THANK YOU AMANDA!!! More...

7 September 2023

We sent our 8-month-old Chocolate Lab off to stay with Amanda for what we call “puppy camp.” Every day, Amanda kept in amazing contact with us and sent videos and pictures of Mag's progress throughout her training. Each day it was like I was watching a new dog because of how great her progress was. Our dog loved her and we loved her. Sometimes it’s hard to send off a piece of your family for two weeks but I promise you won’t regret it! More...

Our Coco just completed her two week training course with Overwatch k9 Academy! I just want to start by saying I was very nervous about being away from our little one for two full weeks but after the first conversation with the owners and our trainer I knew that she was going to be in great hands. They were very comforting and understanding with any concerns or requests we had . They talked through everything with me and answered any questions I had . We had a meet and greet with our trainer Natalie and I immediately felt comfortable with her and so did Coco. She was such a joy to talk with and be around . I felt like she got us right of the bat . She's was so down to earth and understanding. SO KIND! As soon as Coco left for her training I got updates , pictures and videos almost immediately. She stayed in constant contact with us and made me feel so comfortable with all the training. When Coco came back home we immediately noticed a huge difference in Cocos behavior in the best way possible. She was so attentive but was still her loving happy self ! Her obedience was like night and day . She followed all commands so wonderfully and Natalie spent almost two full hours with us at drop off going through everything that the trained on and walked me and my husband through all the steps to maintain the great training here at home.

Overwatch will forever be on our highest recommendation list!! You can tell they are so passionate about what they do and treat your dog like their own , which is all I could of wished for.

Best decision we could of made for our little fur baby !!!

I recently used K9 overwatch for my 8 month old Bernese Mountain Dog, Bridget, and we signed up for the 2 week advanced obedience training that included boarding.

I had called a few other places beforehand and was doing my homework on all our options. Bridget was doing well at a lot of training items, but definitely needed that professional trainer push that I wasn’t able to provide.

After speaking with Joey and Paige I knew they were the team we wanted to move forward with. You can tell over the phone who cares and who’s going through the motions. They really cared.

We were paired with Natalie and she was amazing! Can’t say enough good things about her and how much better Bridget is once we got her back. We actually went on a trip that involved some hiking in the Appalachian Trails of WV 2 days after she returned from training and had Natalie not worked her magic, the trip wouldn’t have been as much of a success.
She kept us updated throughout the process, which we really enjoyed. Constant videos and positive feedback made the time fly by.

I would highly recommend K9 Overwatch and even more so Natalie! The best part of investing in the 2 week boarding is the lifetime membership and we are happy to continue working with everyone involved!

Maegan is an incredible trainer. My experience with her in training our dog was professional, intuitive and positive throughout the training with excellent communication. Akitas are not for the weak. Maegan clearly is top of her game as a trainer based on the results in training our Akita and her owners for both to enjoy their best lives together. More...

11 August 2023

Throughout the process of getting my dog more training, Amanda at Overwatch has been informative, friendly, responsive, and effective. It is a true joy to walk my dog now without constant pulling and I can trust the "stay" command now! More...

11 August 2023

I cannot say enough amazing things about Jessica and OverWatch. As first time dog parents we were new to training a puppy and Jessica helped so much! Our golden puppy was extremely submissive and was a nightmare on a leash. But after 2 weeks he has become such a confident pup and we love going on long walks now! Even off leash his recall has become amazing. More...

3 August 2023

Overwatch K9 is amazing! Jessica was the best to work with. She was in contact about how our dog was doing and sent amazing pictures and videos. We are so impressed with the work she did with Auggie and her dedication to teaching us how to use the collar and feel comfortable with the commands. More...

2 August 2023

OverWatch K9 is an awesome group to work with! Our dog Tucker was a very difficult dog to train and with the help of Jessica he is an amazing well behaved dog! They teach your dog many amazing behaviors. They were so great to work with. Highly recommend them if you are looking for a dog trainer. More...

Veronica was amazing with our one year old lab mix! Before the training, she was allowed on all of our furniture and would jump on people when they came into the house. We recently had a newborn and our dog would bark and growl when the baby cried. After training with Veronica, our dog is so calm and doesn’t even seem to notice when the baby cries. She is so gentle with the baby and her house manners have improved SO much. She is calm and keeps all four paws on the ground when we (or our guests) enter the house. She also now knows where she can and cannot sit. She no longer gets on our furniture. We had a wonderful experience with Veronica! She sent updates daily and even met with us a couple weeks after to show us how to trim our dogs nails. More...

30 July 2023

Meagan has given us back our peaceful lives. Our super energetic, rambunctious dog Linus, was pushing us to our limits. Meagan accomplished so much with him in just two weeks. We are all much happier and highly recommend OverWatch K9 Academy. More...

25 July 2023

Words cannot describe! Maegan has changed our lives!!! Our Bentley is almost five years old, and though soooo loved, this year we were cursing him more than loving him.

For months, he had been barking both inside and outside, not coming when called, jumping on my old parents, begging and whining, no amount of love was ever enough, pulling on the leash, kicking up bark all over our yard, and even jumping on our TABLE to help himself to our toddler’s dinner!

Not anymore! Maegan transformed him in less than three weeks. We went on vacation and came home to obedient, loving, dog. I'm still in awe.

Maegan granted all our wishes! No more jumping, no barking, table manners, heeling when walking on leash, she even took him hiking and trained him to be off leash in the woods and took him to her family’s farm to acclimate him to farm animals (my father-in law has a few horses and before Bentley kept barking at them and almost got stomped!). Our neighbor’s dog has been a constant irritation to Bentley. Bentley would go ballistic, barking and tearing up the yard by the fence. But now, when Bo comes out barking, I just say, “Leave It” and Bentley turns and walks away. Unbelievable.

I cannot express how impressed I am with this company! The videos I got from Meagan of his training and progress were so professional. She checked in all the time, so I never had to worry about our baby. She took so much time with us to learn about our home life and train us when she returned Bentley back to us. The fact that the training is guaranteed for the life of the dog is AMAZING! I've already texted her with a question and she immediately responded.

Seriously, she has changed our life. The house is so much quieter and calmer and with five kids, we need all the peace we can get!

Don't think, just hire them! You won't regret it!

We LOVED working with OverWatch K9. They are so professional, thoughtful and caring. Our frenchie was so happy during her stay and came back with so many commands and such good manners. I love the way they train, definitely the best trainers we interviewed before deciding to hire them. I highly recommend and would absolutely use them again. Thank you Joey Paige and Natalie! More...

18 July 2023

Amanda did a phenomenal job !! My dog went from lunging and barking at every stranger to actually listening to me to not bark! It’s definitely a day and night change with my pup! I recommend Amanda 100%! When she dropped off my dog she even stayed for 3.5 hours going over everything they worked on and stayed until I had all my questions answered. Thanks Amanda for a fabulous service ! More...

18 July 2023

Working with Amanda from Overwatch K9 has been amazing!

My 2 year old goldendoodle has always struggled with pulling, but recently started acting aggressive when he would see other dogs or certain people.

After 3 weeks of the advanced obedience training with Amanda, I am blown away! She worked with him on his heel, doorbell manners, socialization, and extended stay, amongst other things. They even went on multiple field trips.

She provided me with updates and videos throughout his stay, and talked through all of my questions during the process.

So thankful for Amanda and Overwatch K9 Academy! Definitely recommend.

14 July 2023

It was an incredible experience from the start! No worry from the beginning, Jessica picked or dog up. Understand my dog caused over 10k dollars in damage to the house and furniture before training. After training.....OMG! No more pulling things off the counter to chew, no more aggressive jumping, WE ACTUALLY HAVE LOOSE LEASH WALKING!!!. Outstanding results and worth much more than the fee, also the follow up. If your dogs behavior changes she is quick to answer the phone and tell us what to do. I can't say enough about this service and our trainer. More...

14 July 2023

We have had a great experience with Overwatch K9 Academy. Our 5 month old GSP is full of energy and we knew boundaries and rules were going to be important from a young age. We were so happy to be paired with our trainer Natalie- she is so knowledgeable and has been a pleasure to work with. Before our board and train she came for a meet and greet and helped us with some puppy training tips. We just got our pup back from board and train and she has learned so much. Recall, sit, stay, down, place, etc and her door manners, countersurfing and chewing have all improves tremendously. Of course she still needs reminders but we have the framework now for success. Natalie spent hours with us as drop off to make sure we were comfortable and learning how to work with our pup and her new skills. Our dog LOVES Natalie too- so I know she enjoyed training and working with her too. We got frequent videos and pictures of our girl while she was away which helped us see her progress. Can’t wait for future sessions with Natalie and keeping our dog and our investment in her training in top shape! Thanks to Natalie and the K9 team! Would definitely recommend. More...

9 July 2023

The team at Overwatch K9 did an amazing job with my 1 year old goldendoodle. Joey did an amazing introduction and his team helped me get to the right training. Veronika took him in for the two week board and train and did wonders. He used to pull on leash, not listen to me and be very reactive. Now, I can take him anywhere and my relationship with him is way better. His personality is still the same, only now he behaves perfect! Amazing job and would 100% recommend. More...

6 July 2023

Our 9month old Labrador spent 3 weeks with Maegan. He has been home a week now and we have been blown away by how well behaved he has been. He is so much more calm and confident. Our walks used to be so rough with his leash pulling and crazy behavior when we came across other people and animals. It was becoming increasingly difficult because he was getting so big and strong. Now our walks are amazing!! He is no longer distracted by other dogs or people, but is focused on us. He never pulls!

Maegan sent us so many videos throughout his stay with her. It was so cool to see his progress along the way. We were a little worried we wouldn’t be able to have the same success when he came home. Maegan spent quite a bit of time with us when she brought him home. She was great!! We really felt like we knew exactly what we were doing by the time she left, and assured us to contact her with any questions at anytime. We have had the same success as when she was here!

Our neighbor has already scheduled his dog with Maegan after seeing the success we have had. I HIGHLY recommend!! We are so grateful for how she has helped our dog and our family!!

Our 1 year old golden-doodle was in charge at our house. He jumped on guests, shredded everything in sight, ran off every chance he got and counter surfed. Walking him was impossible as he often took off after anything that got his attention dragging us with him. He only obeyed commands when he felt like it. After contacting Overwatch K9 Academy, we decided to go with the board and training program. Our trainer, Natalie, did an initial visit to our home to meet Murphy, to hear our concerns regarding his behavior and explain her training methods. Natalie was amazing to work with. She was friendly, understanding, and reassured us that Murphy would be in the best of hands. The pickup day was arranged and went smoothly. During the two week training, Natalie kept in contact with us regarding Murphy's progress through text messages, videos and photos. When she brought Murphy home, she walked us through the commands and had us practice using them to ensure we understood how to continue the training. She then followed up with an email detailing the commands and encouraged us to text her if we had any questions. An added bonus was Murphy came home bathed and brushed! 😀 I can't say enough about Natalie and Overwatch K9 Academy. Murphy is a changed dog! He is still our goofy goldendoodle, but he now knows and stays within his boundaries. We have a dog our family can truly enjoy. Their program works! My wife and I would do it again without hesitation. More...

Layla stayed with Meagan for two weeks while her hoomans went on vacation. LAYLA IS A 90 lb Saint Bernard x doodle and is very smart and sweet but at 2 years old she definitely needed some fine tuning on her manners including pulling on leash at the beginning of walks, leave it and recall. Layla got home last night and today I loose leash walked her out the door and around our neighborhood. She’s like a new dog. We even gave her a stinky sock from her small human and told her to leave it, and SHE DID. This is big big stuff. We are so excited our big girl is a bit more obedient now for when we have visitors and when we meet people out and about. Meagan is amazing! We cannot thank Overwatch enough!!! More...

29 June 2023

Everything was perfect, from start to finish, working with Overwatch Academy. Our German Shorthaired Pointer was so well behaved after Veronica worked her magic, that we're still amazed at the effectiveness of her training. Veronica did an excellent job, clearly communicating to us, our continuing need, to correctly reinforce and reward our Lady. Yes, it's worth every penny. More...

27 June 2023

Natalie took our 5 month golden retriever for 2 weeks and his obedience was night and day difference! I couldn’t recommend OverWatch enough. They are very easy to work with and extremely helpful and insightful. More...

16 June 2023

We loved our experience with Overwatch K9 Academy! The whole process was easy and they provided so much information at every step. Natalie made us feel incredibly comfortable and we could see in all of the video updates how much she cared for our baby and how much he loved her. Our Koda’s progress is amazing and we feel we have been given all of the tools and training we need to keep him on track. More...

After a long, hard, come-to-Jesus-meeting with myself, I realized I either needed to rehome my standard size Bernedoodle puppy or get professional help. This is what began my journey with OverWatch K9 Academy, and our newest family member and forever friend, Jessica.
Hold your judgement; it took me 10 years to decide it was time to add another dog to my family. I had the most perfect Saint Bernard and was fearful I would end up with a hyper, ill-mannered barker if I took the plunge again – which is exactly what my sweet little Nola warmed up to be when I brought her home to Georgia. In an anxiety ridden panic, I Googled (instead of Xanaxed) and came across some fabulous reviews for this “Overwatch K9 Academy” from people who had issues similar to mine. I called and spoke with the owner, Joey, who asked many questions, explained to me their philosophy and program, offered much advice on techniques I could try with Nola immediately, and then encouraged me to take time to really consider if I wanted to commit to their program. Needless to say – I called back the very next day and am forever grateful that I did.
From the moment Jessica walked into my home for her initial meet and greet with my then out of control four-month-old puppy, I knew I had made one of the best decisions of my last 40 years. When I tell you that she had Nola minding her this very day, I am not exaggerating. Fast forward a few months and a two-week Advanced Obedience training and I now have a nine-month-old Bernedoodle that I can take on walks without her attempting to dislocate my shoulder. She no longer “counter surfs”, comes when I call her, sits and stays when ordered to do so and I can have her off-leash without fear of her running off and potentially getting injured. Nola still barks occasionally but is more situationally appropriate and no longer an irritant.
Jessica took her time working with me and my daughters to ensure we understood the commands, hand gestures and how to differentiate between obedience and unacceptable behavior. She taught us how to correct appropriately and truly gave me the confidence I needed to continue reinforcing Nola’s training daily. The best part – Jessica is only a phone call or text message away for Nola’s entire life.
If you are reading my review and still contemplating-the investment for a peaceful existence is worth every penny. Thank you, Overwatch K9 Academy, and thank you Jessica for giving me and my girls the family companion we had hoped for.

Our son has an 11 month old Aussie puppy named Asher. He was out of control with energy, herded anyone that was not me or my wife, nibbled on hands and thought our sectional was his personal Daytona 500 track. We had to put him in his kennel whenever we had company and of course all he would do is bark. Even though he was the sweetest puppy ever something had to change. In comes Overwatch K9 Academy and specifically Meagan.

From the first time I spoke to the owner, Joey, I felt at ease with the entire process. Then came the visit at our home to meet Asher with Joey, his wife Paige and Asher’s soon to be new friend Meagan. They spent an hour or so with us talking and seeing who and what this Asher guy was all about. After that Asher was off to spend two weeks with Meagan.

Meagan sent us daily updates via group text the entire time Asher was gone. She also sent video messages of what they were working on almost daily. Looking back, the two weeks were long and we missed Asher but would NOT do it differently if making this choice over again. The day Asher came home Meagan pulled into the driveway, got out and gave us the run through briefly while Asher was in the car. What really stood out to us was she went to my 17 year old first and addressed him as the lead the entire time. She knew that this was his dog and he paid for the training and that made him feel important. After the run down Asher got out of the car and Meagan proceed to work one on one with our son and the rest of us, including our youngest son, going over commands, hand signals, walking, etc. She spent about two hours with us and then scheduled a return to check in for about a month later.

As I sit here outside, out front and drinking coffee writing this review 3 weeks since Asher has been back home, my man is off leash laying down at my feet enjoying the fresh morning air and sounds. This would not of been possible without Meagan and Overwatch. Asher still has all the energy of an 11 month old Aussie puppy but it is now harnessed into wanting to please us. He loves to play ball and go for walks still of course, but now he gets so excited because everything is off leash and he feels the freedom to be him and then please his owners. I simply would not recommend any other group to train my dog. In fact they have made me rethink getting another dog after Asher and my son fly the coup in the future.

Overwatch K9 Academy and Meagan the “dog whisperer” get 10 out of 5 stars from the Keeton Family!!!!

We sent Cash our Frenchie Cash to train with Maegan for two weeks. It felt long to be with him at home but Maegan was AMAZING. We got a video of Cash every day showing his progress and new skills. Cash came home healthy and happy ready to show off all he learned. We are very protective dog parents but never had to worry about our pup with Maegan. More...

I cannot say enough good things about OverWatch and Jessica. Jessica did such an amazing job with our retriever puppy that we literally emailed the office the day he came home to arrange training for our 7-year-old Westie. Our wild puppy came home with impeccable door manners and our middle-aged terrier who wouldn’t walk just happily trotted a mile with me. They’re like new (happier, calmer) dogs. Jessica is amazing!!!! More...

Maegan did amazing with Remy! Missed him so much but it was well worth it! Thank you for all the videos and feed back as the weeks went on!

Natalie continues to amaze us! Our 6 month old golden doodle is such a joy to be around now that he learned so much with Natalie. I have difficulty walking at times and walking Scout was nearly impossible. I actually enjoy taking him for walks now! He is so eager to show us what a great dog he is and I know he couldn’t be this great without the help of Natalie! More...

Natalie was awesome! She literally brought us back a different puppy. He's calmer and listens. Natalie did all the hard work. It's obvious she was consistent and caring. What I love is our six month old Golden Doodle responds so he can get cuddles. We would have never been able to to what she did! We loved the videos she shared of her and Harley. What was especially nice is that we shared it with our family and friends. The results we received was worth the money we paid. If I got another dog I'd do it again. FANTASTIC! More...

Jessica is an amazing, loving, intuitive trainer. She listened to our challenges with our pup, assessed him and saw him for the lover he is. He came home a completely different dog in the absolute best way imaginable. She worked with his needs, kept us informed and included in his training daily. Jessica was patient as she taught us how to communicate with our pooch, and to carry forward with his training. We could not have asked for a more perfect experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Tucker, as well as Chris and I, will enjoy such a much better life together. We can't express our gratitude for the love, care and training you gave Tucker so graciously. Highly recommend Jessica and this program!! More...

Amanda with K9 academy is amazing! She has such a gift for training. Her love, ability and patience with our puppy has tranformed our mini goldendoodle into the perfect family companion. Our 7 month old responds to off leash commands with ease and it would not have been without Amanda’s hard work and dedication. Dont hesitate and reach out. Total game changer!
Thanks Amanda❤️

I recently had my furry best friend (a very energetic and loving Cavapoo) graduate from the Advanced Obedience Board & Training with Natalie. During the meet & greet, I could tell immediately that Natalie 1) was an expert in her craft and 2) was extremely loving. During the 3-week training period, Natalie was extremely communicative about my pups progress and always sent videos accompanying these updates. Post-training and during the hand-off period, she was very thorough in her instruction for me and patient. She also reassured that she’s a text/call away for a refresher training at any time. I can say without a doubt, this program was 1000% worth it. She instilled the basic commands to a degree that it’s almost intuitive for my pup after only 3 weeks. She also assisted with teaching door manners and leash walking. I can’t rave enough about how thankful and appreciative I am of her and can’t wait to see my pup continue to grow with this amazing foundation she’s laid. More...
