K9 Mastery

This training makes the most sense out of any we have ever done for our dog, Blue. This is the only thing that has helped him get better. He is a much happier dog now because he knows that my husband and I are in control and now he doesn’t have to be. He can just be a carefree dog again. I would recommend this to everyone who has a dog with behavior issues and/​or aggression issues (like our Blue did) — it has done wonders for our baby!
Christie is hands down the best trainer we have ever worked with. She knows dog psyche and understands what they want and need. She truly is a miracle worker! She works the gamete of behavioral issues, but if your dog has aggression issues — for sure this is the woman you need to see.
Christie truly cares about dogs. She risks her own safety taking on some of the most aggressive dogs that many other trainers have instructed their owners to put down. If you follow her advice and do the homework, your dog WILL get better.

Not to long ago we decided to adopt a couple of pups from Austin boxer rescue and we couldn’t be happier. But when we would go the park or out in public we had a hard time getting them to walk on the leash with out getting our arms ripped out of socket. I mean we tried everything from different control harnesses to some weird clicky thing. All a bunch of trash. We then found K9 Mastery and decided to give them a shot. — we didn’t try other places simply because I wasn’t into «reward» training and I wasn’t impressed with how the classes looked. — after the first lesson with Christie our on leash problem was just about fixed. I mean I couldn’t tell you how big of a difference she made. We went on and trained thru advanced classes and even adopted a puppy from her which made our little family that much better.
We can now take our dogs in public without worries or embarrassment.
The thing about training is, you have to keep it up. Can’t just go to class and not do the practices at home or out and about. Just like being a parent if you let them get away with it. They will test you every time. !
Thanks Christie, our pups are awesome and by far better than I ever would of thought they could be.

My husband and I have entrusted Christie with both of our beloved German Shepherds for boarding and training and she is without a doubt the best person you will ever find to take care of and train your dogs. We moved away from the area and miss being able to train with her.
My husband boarded his six-​month old German Shepherd with Christie for her board and train program while we were both away at Army training. Ajax returned to us with the basic obedience covered; she even called my husband when Ajax (his dog) had jumped up in his kennel and possibly hurt his hip. She had a vet at the kennel for another dog and had Ajax checked out to make sure he was okay, because that’s the kind of person she is. She also recommended some supplements to add to his food to help his hips and the best place to get them. We were very happy with the care and training that Ajax received from K9 Mastery.
When I adopted a rescue German Shepherd mix, I enrolled her in basic obedience with Christie. The first day I showed up, my dog slipped out of her collar and took off around the field. Christie showed me the prong collar and leash to use and demonstrated loose leash walking, a godsend with my stubborn and headstrong dog.
As our training progressed, I noticed a positive difference in Jessie’s behavior not only in our training sessions, but in our daily activities as well. She didn’t rush the door, her food bowl, or the car door as we got out to go do something. Overall, she seemed calmer and more content, because she knew that I was in charge and understood the behavior I expected from her.
I also boarded Jessie with Christie on multiple occasions, including a 10-​day stretch, and never doubted that she was well-​cared for.
Christie is a very dedicated and straightforward person; she cares passionately for her animals and possesses a true gift with them. I highly recommend her training and boarding to any dog owner.

I took my dog Wedge to K9 Mastery a couple of years ago for some behavior problems. Specifically, Wedge was having issues with dominance and aggression. Since I have two small daughters, I was afraid we would have to take him back to the pound.
Wedge and I completed the basic level training, and I was really impressed with the level of work and commitment that Christie put into training him. She often stayed late to work with us. The training program was definitely effective. We were able to keep Wedge and he is the best friend I have in the world.
I will say that Christie’s training methods consist of a lot of tough love, and people should make sure they know what they are getting into before they start the program, but if you are on the brink of putting a dog down or taking it to the pound, this lady can definitely help you.

If it’s the only thing you do for your dog (s), bring them to K9 Mastery. When 3 other dog trainers told me I needed to re-​home my dog in a single dog, no child home (she was and never had been aggressive toward children) AND they were ok with euthanizing her as another option… I was at my wits end. Christie changed all of that.
Back story: Giggsy (my Pitt mix) had almost killed my older dog Bailey. On more than one occasion. Giggsy was aggressive towards other dogs. Plain and simple. She was unruly and not trustworthy. After the first class with Christie my jaw dropped. Had this woman poured pixie dust on my dog and made her different!?! Yep. That’s how quick I noticed the change. And not just in Giggsy… In ME! I felt and was in control. Since then we have advanced to intermediate and are doing amazing things. All 3 dogs at the house get along. I don’t stress about my home situation or something happening to Bailey or Lilly (my other older dog) because I know that Giggsy will listen to me and that we have a common respect for one another. And she trusts me to make the decisions instead of her making them. Let Christi help you. Let her educate you. Let her train you so you can train your dog. Life doesn’t have to be stressful with unruly dogs. But understand this: (and something you should have realized when you adopted or purchased your dog) you are responsible for them. Your dog is not a robot that you can train for 8 weeks and then never do anything with again. If you think that… Well like John Wayne said, «Life is Hard. But it’s harder when your stupid.» I mean do you go to the gym, lose weight and then go back to eating cake? No. So understand you will always have to be involved with your dog. Maintenance is required. In ALL training. But I am here to tell you, after 3 trainers, stressful nights, lots of tears, separate living conditions for all 3 dogs, trips to the vet… and then putting all I had left in faith in Christie… IT WAS THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE. Watch her videos. They’re real. I’ve met those handlers and dogs. It’ll blow your mind. I’ve posted some of my own pics from training OUT IN PUBLIC PEOPLE… come see what she’s all about. You won’t regret it.

I really thought this was my last resort after losing hope for my dog’s behavioral issues. Kristie made me believe that my dog’s problems would almost vanish as long as I practiced different exercises with him. He needed help walking on the leash, learning to heal, and with not using his mouth on people. The training we received was basic obedience. I worried that the class wasn’t exactly what he needed because we had behavioral issues, we didn’t just need help with sit and down stays. The first day that I took him he had a choke collar, and she took him out to walk, she warned us it wasn’t going to «look pretty». Little did I know what she meant. She took him out onto the large field, he tried biting at the leash and she brought him into the air within a couple seconds. She held him up with the choke collar in the air. She said she would do this until he decided to submit to her and let himself fall onto the ground and not try to keep himself up. She also said sometimes the dog’s pass out from this and although that’s not preferred it unfortunately happens when they don’t submit soon enough. Well my dog did not submit fast enough for her so she took out a whip and began to whack him on his back about 5 – 6 times. Everyone in class that day saw exactly what happened. Don’t ask me why I didn’t just walk away then and there, I really was misguided and believed this was my last hope for him. Little did I know that it could make his problems much worse. You are supposed to have a relationship of trust and respect with your dog, how can you achieve that when all you do is beat them with a whip? I, stupidly, purchased the whip because she told me to use it when he barked at strangers passing by our house. Well we never received actual training for the behavioral issues he had. Every class was just more and more obedience and once he finished the 8 weeks she thought he was ready for the second level which is where you have your dog in a down/​sit stay far far away from you. If you saw my dog, if you knew what he was like you would know that is the last thing I should do. After just the second class she thought he would be perfectly fine going out to a store such as Lowe’s. My dog is not good with people or dogs, there was absolutely no way I was going to do that. After spending 8 weeks in her class, about $ 360 later, my dogs same behaviors continued. Could I blame him? No, not after the abuse he endured because yes that is abuse. Holding your dog into the air meanwhile choking him, whacking him until he submits? I’m not training my dog to be a fighter, I’m training for the exact opposite. She said that I may have to do that a couple times throughout training to get him to really listen to me. I will say he walks better on the leash, he knows how to stay and heal, but what I needed was behavioral help that she said she could give me. The problems worsened, we are now doing training with the Canine Center and I have spoken to several trainers about the methods taught here and they all agree that this has made my dog worse, and that it was clear abuse. They don’t even want to risk him wearing a collar now because of how they’ve been used on him. I regret taking him here, the worst decision I could have made by far. Before enrolling in these classes I specifically asked and made sure she was able to help with what I needed, had she been honest instead of just wanting my money, I wouldn’t have been upset. She would have saved us time and money. It may work for dogs who just need basic obedience, but I sought help with other issues, and I guess those issues involved him having to be physically hurt by her.
Edit: The first email I sent to K9 Mastery was asking if they helped with aggression and the response I received was, «There is no specific course for dogs with aggression issues. All dogs attend the same classes and each dog’s behavioral issues are addressed with their owner throughout the course of training». I understood that there was no specific class that focused on the aggression, but I believed that throughout the class we would work on our issues. There was never any different exercise given to us that would help his aggression. Also, during the first class when you took him out to walk you made sure to be far away from everyone else and their dog’s because of his bite history, so he never even had an opportunity to lunge at someone at that time. You popped him for not following the direction you were going and when you did that he turned and snapped at the leash. I communicated with you that I was not comfortable taking him into a store and I offered that maybe instead I could continue walks around my neighborhood and introduce him to friends. You agreed. I stated above that basic obedience improved, proving that I DID continue to train even after finishing the class. It is no surprise to me that you would have a negative opinion about them, as you did with Training by Tara when I asked you about her methods.

Every time I train my dogs in the park, people come up to me and ask how I am able to make them stay in a «down» position over 100 feet away with no leash. I tell them «K9 Mastery» and give them Christie’s card.
We tried several other trainers before we found Christie. None of them showed us how to teach our dogs simple commands that they would actually follow. The K9 Mastery way works and will help you feel confident that your dogs will actually listen to you and do what you say.
The only thing that is stressful about being in public now is the fear of dealing with untrained dogs and careless owners. Once you have been to K9 Mastery it will annoy you to no end to see dogs that are not being walked properly or being commanded in the right way.
We even «met» our second dog through Christie’s boarding service. She has a great gift to tell which dogs will get along well with each other and we couldn’t be happier with our two little friends who really like each other’s company.
We use her boarding service every time we go out of town and our dogs always come back happy, freshly cleaned, and full of wags.

I can’t say enough about the good that K9 Mastery does for people and their dogs. All the training in the world isn’t going to help your dog do anything unless you learn how to train them the right way, and that is exactly what the staff at K9 Mastery is committed to providing for their clients. They also have a top notch boarding facility if you need to board your dog. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pets!

My fiancé and I took our dogs to K9 for training and had relatively good results. However, after leaving my fiancé’s dog with them for boarding over thanksgiving I have nothing but regret and anger. Our 5 year old Pittie mix has been boarded at nicer kennels where the dogs are allowed more outdoor and social time. However k9 was cheaper and we thought we were familiar enough with the trainers to be comfortable. When we picked up Jasmine she was at least 5 lbs lighter (noticeably skinnier), was shedding like crazy, and had wounds all of her mouth, and back legs. She also had two giant gaping wounds on her front paws, that (due to the amount of puss, blood, and induration) were by no means brand new. We noticed these things as soon as we saw her, but the boarders/​trainers acted as though they had no idea, and then tried to play it off as though they were self inflicted lick spots. I have seen lick spots before and these were deep wounds, and look severely infected. I have no idea how this happened to our dog, like I said before she does great with other dogs, and had been ok after boarding before. The boarders only cared about payment and did not even care hat our dogs paws and mouth were bleeding. We just wanted to get our baby out of there! They were so unprofessional and rude!!!
I would never go back to these people or recommend them to anyone. They obviously were not checking on our baby or attempting to feed her (she is the most food motivated dog I’ve ever seen, and has never avoided any food in front of her!) unless you want to go spend a lot of money on emergency vet bills do not ever take yours dogs here!!!
PS I will post pictures of the wounds too!

We just got our 2 South African Mastiffs home, from being boarded over Christmas at the K9 Kennels. They were boarded for the first time ever as my husband and I went to London for 2 weeks. We were very anxious to board our girls, as not many places have the experience to understand the nature of mastiffs. Christie and her team took such good care of my girls! She was happy to update me periodically with how they were getting on whilst we were away, which was very reassuring. Both my girls are exhausted from all of the fun they had! They both look in great shape and were bathed before we picked them up, which was an additional fee but well worth it as they smell great and have lovely glossy coats! Thank you K9 for being so knowledgeable and giving our girls the care and attention that all dogs deserve! Will definitely be using you guys for our next trip away!

My dog had developed fear-​based aggression and I was desperate to find someone to help fix the issue and help me become a better owner. We wasted hundreds of dollars on 4 other reputable dog trainers who were the self-​proclaimed best in Austin.
I eventually found K9 Mastery and am so grateful that I did because she not only fixed the issue but also taught me a lot about my dog. She uses a tougher training technique than any other mainstream trainer in Austin. I was so used to positive reinforcement training, that in the beginning I questioned her methods. But after significant progress, I was quickly convinced of her innate expertise. Her integrity is such that if you disagree with her, she would sooner lose you as a client than compromise her training philosophy.

Jubilee was cute, gray cuddly Weimaraner pup when i got her. I have no delusions that her «issues» were not my fault. At three years old she was a liability. She was embarrassing to take into public or on walks. She had become aggressive/​reactive/​whatever you want to call it and it seemed to happen overnight. I could not walk her in the neighborhood without her lunging and barking at passing dogs. She did not like small children. Forget taking her to a restaurant patio or bar. She was an equal opportunity hater. She used to go everywhere with me. I took her to work everyday, shopping, eating with friends, bars and the dog park. If you want to read my original post you can link to it here —
It will be the second review after one for Training By Tara. I could not link it directly for some reason.
Jubilee is and was my world and i did not give up on her. I spent sooo much $$ in other training that was not effective for her issues. All her other training was treat based. She may have learned a trick or two, but that is not we needed. I wanted to be confident i could take her into public. I did not get her to be a back yard dog. I was at rock bottom just after i finished a Reactive Dog Class with another trainer. I found K-​9 Mastery online and the reviews of Sammy on K-​9 Mastery’s website gave me hope. Sammie seemed way worse then Jubilee and she got better! The first class my Jubilee was walking on a leash past other dogs! WHAT? I was flabbergasted. We decided that we needed to go all the way — BASIC, INTERMEDIATE, and ADVANCED. The behavioral issues were nipped in the bud by intermediate, but I enjoyed the connection with Jubilee that i got out of training. Things that make this trainer different —
1. She does not train with treats. That means your dog learns to listen to you and respect you and you are not trying to bribe them with treats. All our old trainers had me training her with treats. If that works for you– more power to you, but my dog was way to smart for that. I feel confident if my dog is about to run into the street and I call her that she will come. That is money well spent.
2. Your dog will be trained in real world situations. That means that other dogs will be all around you while training. They will be good training distractions and your dog will have to get used being around other dogs. Does that sound normal to you? Then you have not been other trainers who train reactive dogs… She could not even get within feet of other dogs in her previous training. How could she learn?
3. You will be trained more then your dog. Ok, maybe not. I guess it depends on your situation, but you will get training on what your doing wrong. If you think your dog is the only one contributing to the problem… think again.
3. Christy truly cares about dogs. I have not meet another person who will tell you how it is and whip you into shape for the sake of your dog.
If you need help with behavioral issues, then I cannot recommend Christy enough.
If you just need obedience, then I cannot recommend Christy enough.
Jubilee the attacker now goes shopping, to work every day, out to eat with us, and walks past other dogs like a pro. I have confidence in myself and Jubilee. My dog lives a happier, healthier life because of K-​9 Mastery. I will bring my next dog as a pup to her class to get a head start. Thank you K-​9 Mastery for changing our lives for the better! I have my best bud back and she has you to thank for her active lifestyle.

K9 Mastery is the only reason we were able to keep our beloved second rescue– Nora! Shortly after adopting her she and our first dog got into two big fights. We decided to go ahead and put her in the boarding school of Christie (the owner of K9 Mastery) for a month, and it was worth every dollar. After that we continued working with her and both our dogs. Nora improved so much and for less than 2 months we were able to regain our sense of trust and peace at home. Whoever has met our dogs is amazed by their obedience. Christie taught us very valuable information on dog handling and how our behavior directly affects theirs. Now we are stronger pack leaders and our dogs respect, love and trust us. Even tho the style she uses to train dogs (prone, choke collars) may seem a little intimidating at the beginning I would definitely prefer to use it, instead to have to break another vicious fight and watching my dogs trying to kill each other. Thank you, Christie for your devotion and professionalism. Thank you for not giving up on Nora, when I almost reached that point and building back a healthy relationship for my dogs. Absolute one of the best if not the best trainer I’ve ever seen!

K9 Mastery saved my life. In late 2012 I had reached rock bottom because of my dog’s aggression issues. Sweetie (I did not name her!) was very dog aggressive and had a tendency to «resource guard». She would even attack my other dog (Misty). I was living in fear in my own house. Even worse, I was scheduled to deploy and had no idea what I was going to do with Sweetie during the deployment. I didn’t feel safe leaving her with anyone because of her dog aggression. In desperation I turned to Google, and Thanks Be to God I found Christie.
Over the next several months Christie helped me progress both of my dogs through Basic Obedience and partway through Intermediate before I had to deploy. We also worked on Sweetie’s aggression issues. Thanks to Christie, I was able to leave a very well-​behaved Misty with my sister for 16 months. Misty heeled so nicely that my sister was able to take her on lots of walks and runs… all while pregnant with her second child and juggling her toddler in a stroller. I know for a fact that Misty’s excellent behavior really helped my sister (who had never owned a dog) manage her dog sitting responsibilities while I was halfway around the world. During the deployment Sweetie went to Board and Train with K9 Mastery. I loved seeing all the updates and videos on Facebook of Sweetie’s progress. Sweetie actually won some obedience titles! I know she was well-​loved and cared for while I was away.
Recently I adopted a third rescue, Oreo. Oreo was a ten week old puppy when I picked her up. I was so used to Misty and Sweetie’s good behavior that I didn’t even realize how well behaved they were until I had the puppy. All of a sudden I had this little creature in the house that didn’t listen to anything I said, didn’t come when called, didn’t know how to walk on a leash… and it drove me insane! I don’t know how people do that. I certainly will never have a dog like that again, not as long as I can train them the K9 Mastery way! Oreo is now partway through Intermediate training and I am so grateful. Wherever we go I always get compliments about how well-​behaved my dogs are… and we definitely have K9 Mastery to thank.
90% of dog training is training the handler and Christie gets that. She won’t just train your dog, she’ll show you how to handle your dog. Every one of my dogs has responded to training differently and Christie has been able to show me how to tweak my handling to suit the dog’s personalities. It’s hard work for the handler, but don’t give up! Dogs do not turn into perfect angels without hard work on their human’s part!
Once you are introduced to Christie’s training methods you will absolutely NEVER train a dog any other way ever again for the rest of your life. Simply put, it works. Your dog doesn’t have to be difficult to benefit from her training methods. If your dog has any issues that make them more difficult to handle (aggression, fear, etc.) you DEFINITELY need Christie’s help. Even if your dog is normal, you WANT Christie’s help. Take your dog to Christie’s training classes. You will not regret it.
Oh, and did I mention I drive 8 hours ROUNDTRIP to go to Christie’s training classes? Yeah, I live in Abilene. It’s that worth it.

Gosh I don’t even know where to start. Christie is an amazing dog trainer to say the least. I contacted Christie because I needed help with my bossy/​grouchy dog. Christie took the time to show me how to be a better dog parent, trainer and pack leader. My dog wasn’t always very dog friendly but with the training she’s much better. She plays with all dogs large and small. She no longer growls and chases other dogs that come near her. I’ve seen a vast improvement with my fur-​kid. Christie is very passionate about what she does and honestly, I’ve never seen a harder working person in my life. She definitely has the drive that’s required to PROPERLY train a dog. She definitely takes pride in her work.
The great thing about Christie’s training is that it works on ALL dogs, whatever their issues may be. You honestly can’t go wrong. Your dog will love you for it and you’ll both be happier.

How can I begin to describe how much of an «ah-​hah» moment Christie brought into my life after working with animals in the veterinary field for over a decade?! I am also heavily involved with animal rescue and rehabilitation, so I am around dogs all the time and am used to encountering aggressive dogs. I was involved in rescuing a puppy that was exhibiting signs of aggression towards my own pets (dogs and cats) and I was having a really hard time dealing with her-​as it seemed her aggression would come out of nowhere! With me being a softie, with her being a puppy, and with the safety of my own animals in jeopardy– I knew I needed help. I am so glad that I reached out to Christie at K9 Mastery, as her training methods and techniques were life-​changing for both me and the dogs who have benefited from being trained this way. I am a believer now that training does work! Even in cases of aggression and extreme neurotic behavior-​if it is a behavioral issue and not medical of course. I went into it knowing the dog needed help but that ultimately it was ME that would become the most changed/​trained! I was being far too soft on her and letting her get away with things because she came from a bad situation and was a puppy, when in fact-​I was not helping her by treating her that way! She is a dog with a work drive and a desire to know where she fit in to my household and life. I was allowing her to be too far at the top, anthropomorphically crippling her, and setting both of us for failure. I had to change my way of being and thinking in regards to this dog (and other dogs who I have taken to Christie since-​but that is another story) and become the leader that they needed me to be. I had to get past MY issues and barriers to being an effective leader and trainer, and her teaching has positively impacted my life on a daily basis. That is no small feat and I thank her everyday for what she has shown me and because of this-​dogs lives have been saved. If you have a dog that is running and/​or ruining your life in some way– help is out there, and her name is Christie. K9 mastery will ultimately make YOU a better you and as a result, your dog a better dog.

K9 Mastery saved our lives! Christie is a wonderful, knowlegable trainer who has helped us transform a dog known as «unadoptable» to a loving member of our family. After a very expensive first attempt with another dog training company, we were still left with a dog that did not listen, was aggressive and fearful and we did not know what to do. I found K9 Mastery by searching online and after watching some videos of their «graduates» (and reading all the great reviews), we knew this would be our last shot. She has trained both our dog, as well as us!, and within a very short period of time, we noticed a huge difference in our dog’s behavior! We also board with K9 Mastery when we go out of town, feeling Stanley is in good hands (and he loves it there!!)…would recommend to anyone, whether you just want your dog to have good manners, or to resolve issues. Do yourself and your furry baby a favor!

I have had an awesome experience with Christie. She is a wonderful trainer and I have seen what she has accomplished with other dogs as well.
Her new facility is beautiful. It is like a doggy paradise if you need to board your dog. They get lots of attention and supervision.
I would recommend K9 Mastery for training and boarding.

if you have an aggressive or hard to handle dog, there really is no alternative to K9 Mastery. I was referred to Christie through a friend after my very dog aggressive Akita was kicked out of basic obedience class at Triple Crown. They told me he could not be around the other dogs due to his aggressive nature. Not only were the other students afraid of him but so was the instructor. He was very aggressive towards other dogs and would redirect that aggression toward me or anyone nearby. Frankly I thought there was no hope at that point. After my initial phone consultation with Christie I was very excited. Christie said that she never refuses any dog. Christie was able to get him under control in a very short time. Keep in mind that Kobe was a 70 lb puppy when he was kicked out of triple crown. He was a 120lb adult by the time we came to K9 Mastery! In the first 3 weeks we made remarkable progress. Kobe graduated from basic obedience a few weeks later and we are working on intermediate currently. My female Akita, Keiko had graduated from Triple Crown, but after seeing how well Kobe behaved, I put her through basic at K9 Mastery as well. I never would have dreamed that it was possible to have the level of control I have over my dogs now. Everyone we meet remarks at how well behaved both dogs are. In addition to training, I will only board my dogs with K9 Mastery. Finally, I can go out of town and not have to worry about them. I know they get first class care at K9 Mastery!

Words cannot express how much I LOVE K9 Mastery! Christie, the Owner and Trainer at K9 Mastery, has completely changed my life and I would never, ever recommend any other dog trainer. I brought my dog, Beau to K9 Mastery for fear aggression issues. When I adopted him in May 2011, he was so scared of people that no one, besides me, could get within 10 feet of him without him barking and growling at them. I was terrified that he would one day bite someone and have to be put down. I had previously taken him to a trainer that only used treats for positive reinforcement, which did absolutely NOTHING for him except make him puke the whole time (his sensitive tummy cannot handle excessive amounts of treats). Christie specializes in working with severe aggression issues. She taught me that truly balanced training methods require corrections for unwanted behavior, in addition to positive reinforcement in the form of verbal praise and petting. I immediately saw a drastic change in Beau in the very first training class. In September 2013, Beau became the 8^th dog to finish all three levels of obedience training (Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced). He is now a completely different dog. Beau and I have an incredible bond, and his confidence has increased dramatically. I can take him with me anywhere and everywhere and not have to worry about strangers approaching us. In fact, Beau now welcomes petting from strangers (especially kids) – in May 2014, Beau became a certified Therapy Dog through Therapy Dogs International.
I just adopted my 2^nd dog, Molly, in July, and we are already almost finished with Basic Obedience. Even though Molly doesn’t have any aggression issues, I will definitely be taking her through all the way through Advanced Obedience training, as well. There is nothing like having the peace of mind that your dog will listen to your commands in any and every circumstance without any equipment (leashes, collars, etc.) needed. Training with K9 Mastery has been worth every penny (and so much more) to us, and I would highly recommend it to all dog owners in the Austin area and beyond!
Furthermore, there is no other facility that I would EVER board my dogs at besides K9 Mastery. It is ALWAYS worth extra 2 hour drive from Georgetown to Bastrop and back to drop the dogs off for boarding, even though there are tons of other boarding facilities that are much closer to where I live. When I go out of town, I know that Christie and Jessica will take care of Beau and Molly like they are their own dogs, and they even accommodate their special dietary needs.
