TESTIMONIALS
“Olive Oyl absolutely love her training sessions with Steve. He exudes professionalism while maintaining an approachable and enjoyable demeanor. Olive started her training journey a few months ago, and I couldn't be happier with our decision. Steve's training approach stands out due to its emphasis on building a strong bond and relationship with Olive. It's not just Olive who's learning; we are as well. At 9 months, we've reached a point where we can confidently fly with her, explore various environments, and trust her off leash. This trust is a direct result of the time we've dedicated to nurturing her obedience, setting boundaries, and fortifying our family bond. Training isn't one-size-fits-all, and we've found what works perfectly for us. Thank you, Steve!”

“Where do I start? My dog Duke is an animal.... and by that I mean an out of control monster. This fool thought my throw pillows were chew toys. He though guests were bean bags. He thought our dinner table was his dinner table. Duke is a 90 lb white lab. So I asked a friend where to go. They recommended BAK9A. We got teamed up with Steve Kenzler the owner. I was skeptical at first. I always thought I could do it myself but I couldn't. Steve had Duke whipped into shape. Within 2 weeks there were no more chew accidents. Duke suddenly had guest and table manners. He even learned how to sit and roll over. I am so impressed. I would recommend this company to anyone. Thanks Steve!”

“ I want to take this opportunity to express my thought on Steve at Bay Area K9, association.
I went to visit Steve in the month of August 2023 and he showed me the things I need to work on for my German Shepherd.
His technique is very methodical, and extremely powerful, 30 minute training to the point. Highly recommended, and his training.”

“I am a first time puppy owner. I was overwhelmed with my puppy separation anxiety I almost returned my puppy to the owner.
I reached out to Steve. He has been a great resource on and off classes on how I deal with Buddy's behavior. I thought I had picked up all the relevant knowledge required from YouTube in training a dog. I was wrong.
Steven was able to pick up my flaws and inefficiencies in communicating with and training Buddy in the private lessons. He has directly improved our relationship and connection. He focuses his training and instilling the fundamentals on me training Buddy. I can say for sure this continues to improve my relationship with Buddy and helps me see the potential in Buddy,”
