  We are so thankful to have found Bob at K9 Pack Leader. He started working with us when we found a stray on the side of the highway who was a car chaser, beggar, whiner and unruly but a total sweetheart and a fantastic dog. He stayed with Bob for board and train and when we picked him up Bob took the time to educate the whole family on dog ownership, teaching us that dogs are companions who need direction to live with humans. Fast forward 10 years and our family dog Choco goes everywhere as a gentleman, helping be an advocate for his breed everywhere he goes. When I adopted my dog Sophie from a local shelter, Bob was my first call when I realized the behavioral issues she had as a dog who I was adoption as an adult. He patiently reminded me of the basics and worked with her to help both of us build confidence. After my husband and I bought a house we had our own yard and felt ready to take on another dog. Riz  had been a special case staying with Bob while he waited for a good home. He brings so much joy into our lives and it opened up space for Bob  to continue taking in special rehabilitation cases. Thank you Bob for all the work you do in educating people, helping dogs and being a great support along the way. Give Bob  a call, it just makes sense!

  Bob Laut was recommended by my vet to help with training my Great Pyrenees. I wasnt able to get my dog to go into the vets office or my grooming facility, it was a nightmare. I called Bob, he came to my house and we talked for over an hour. He explained how we could work together to get my dog Barney on the right track. He explained why, how and what I needed to do to resolve all the issues. I learned I was the problem not Barney, he was right. The next time Bob came to my house we were already doing better and Bob took us to the vet and showed me how to get my dog to do anything I needed him to. It was fabulous! Barney wasnt afraid anymore and neither was I. I highly recommend K9 and Bob

  Thank you Sandra ! I was able to help you, the same way I've  helped hundreds of people! Starting with a veterinarian's referral! From that point forward, you open your house, mind and heart to me. You offered your trust to me and I earned your trust. I promise, i will do everything in my power, to maintain your trust. You and Barney overcame a very common behavior concern. Together! That common behavior concern, is Fear! You allowed me to teach you, that having a dog can be a consistent joy. Once you understand the animal and know how to communicate and be a dogs leader and teacher! Im thankful for you accepting me to be the one to help. More thankful than me, is Barney ! Please remember two things. 1)) Barney  is a reflection of your leadership! The pride you feel and the praise he receives from others, is because of you. 2)) You have my phone number saved and I am here for you and Barney, if and when you need my advice or to share a Victory Story!Im very proud of you, your efforts and your success! So is Barney! ????

  I would recommend Bob  highly to anyone. My husband and I always adopted special needs dogs. I lost my buddy last year. My new puppy, Lulu came from a puppy mill. I adopted her at 6 months old. She came from a hoarding situation with six other puppies. She was scared of everything, no human contact or affection. She Would not even go through a door or come near me. I was able to overcome fear that she had by myself to a point. But she did not need training to sit and stay, she needed help to get her to feel more comfortable in her home and to understand that I am her leader. Bob could tell why she was acting as to how she was treated by even other dogs at the Hoarder. Bob  has helped me with Lulu to overcome a lot of her fears and she has turned into a very happy and loving puppy. I was taught by Bob  as to what she was thinking so I could work with her to overcome a lot of her distrust. She is now a year old. Bob  is very timely and very very reasonable on his fees. He is always there to help you and will contact you quickly by phone or text when you reach out. I have also boarded Lulu there and I know she is always happy and well when she is with Bob and his pack.

  Thank you Karen! You and Lulu, are a very special to me and the rest of my pack.Im thankful for the opportunity to share my 50+ years of experience with you. Im also very proud of you, for several reasons. One reason was, your willingness to open your heart and mind to expand on your knowledge. Not once did question or doubt my expertise. Another is the love and dedication you have for your Lulu! You have put yourself aside and focused on helping Lulu, to have the most relaxed life she and you deserve. I know the hard work, patience and love thats called for, when rehabilitating very troubled puppy mill, feral and mistreated dogs that were hoarded. Your dedication to Lulu is unwavering and Lulu will reward you everyday, with the love and loyalty only a dog can give.As you know.. Im only a phone call away, to answer any questions or to celebrate with you on your victories! Lulu is a reflection of your leadership

  MARY H I  adopted a 4 month old dog from the APA  After about 6 weeks, I was feeling I made a very big mistake and was thinking I should return her to the APA  I couldn't control her and she kept biting me so I decided I should look for training possibilities. I really needed someone to tell me how to get Maggie to do what I wanted her to do. I pulled up the BBB website to see who had great reviews for dog training. I came across K9 Pack Leader and at that time there were 22 positive reviews. I called and Bob came to my home and actually took Maggie to his home. The entire time he sent me videos of all that she was learning and also showed me what I should do. I really wanted to be able to walk my dog around the neighborhood without pulling or barking after other dogs. When Bob bought Maggie back after 5 days he stayed about 2 hours to show me the commands he used to train her and how to walk with her and have her listen and focus on me. Walking her now is a delight. One of the nice things about Bob is if I am having a problem with Maggie following a command or I am trying to correct a behavior I can call or text Bob and he is ready to tell me what I should be doing or not doing. That to me is the best part of the K9 Pack Leader Training. It is a shame that these rescue centers do not hire a trainer like Bob for the dogs they rescue before they put them up for adoption. They would have a lot less dogs returned.

  Let me start by saying! I am very proud of you! As humans, changes are difficult and challenging, for any one of us and you overcame both! The love and dedication you have shown Maggie  is something, I'm thankful to be apart of! You chose to learn how to and who could help, when most would've re-homed.. That's when we met and change were accomplished! What we've done together confirms that, Maggie  will now have one home forever! You and Maggie  are another great victory story! Once again proving, Training that Makes Sense is the only choice to make, before giving up a companion. As you know, ** always a phone call away, when you want to share your success or ask any questions.

  I have used this company for help with behavior issues. Bob is always available for any other problems that have come about. I am a true leader of my pack now. This is only because he gave me the confidence I needed. Otherwise I would have had to get rid of my beautiful dog. I have also boarded Goji with him for a week in which time I was constantly updated and sent videos to put my mind at ease.

  Thank you Reva! Your success and the joys of having a well behaved dog started with me but, is continued by you. You made the call to me. You accepted my knowledge and expertise of what Makes Sense. That's the first part that seems to be a challenge. The second part, was you being observant of the changes in Goji and being open minded, to learning how I helped him change. The third part, is using the knowledge of dog psychology and pack management consistently. Your success is what gave you and Goji many months later the opportunity to live together and love one another. Thanks again Reva! Your dedication and loyalty to Goji shows and allows you, the opportunity to share your Victory Story With others!

  I highly recommend K-9 Pack Leader! Bob is great and was able to change the energy in the house after just a few minutes of entering my home. He spent about 2 hours with us during his first visit and another hour during our second session. He teaches you how to become the leader of your pack, and my dog has never listened better! I am amazed at how much better she is on a leash and how calm she can be when visitors come in the front door. All of the friends and family that have visited mention how well behaved she is now. Bob is great at following up and is always a phone call away for any questions you may have. Anyone with a dog can benefit from his knowledge! Thank you for helping Stella and me!

  I have seen Bob work with numerous dogs that owners were ready to give up on, or even have put down. He has helped turn them into excellent pets, without all the aggression issues they came to him with. I highly recommend Bob at K9 Pack Leader.

  Incredible Pack Leader! Years ago I fostered an older dog. The previous owners had neglected to administer any training including housetraining. The poor little dog had no clue this was even an undesirable action. I called Bob at K9 pack Leader and within minutes I felt calmer about the future of the dog. Bob assured me that I could indeed teach this old dog new tricks. Without Bob's directions I was completely lost. The dog was choosing outside for potty within days. Fast forward and I was able to use the very same techniques for my own dog who has been successful doing her business outside for 7 years lol. I would highly recommend Bob at K9 pack Leader to anyone.
