CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
We recently purchased an adult protection dog from them. A Belgian Malinois. I am a green handler of a dog of this caliber. The K9 Academy drove what had to be 12 hours one way to hand deliver the dog and spent half a day working with me and educating me on properly handling the dog. They have been great at answering my questions after the sale.
The best of the best!! We had our Malinois not even a month and we purchased a second dog from them! The quality of training is unlike any other. While they are your protectors these pups are the best family dogs ever. I sleep knowing that all is well! They are truly the dog whisperers!! Valiant dogs ready to protect but at the same time they are mans best friend!! Thank you The K9 Academy!! You’re the best!!
I purchased Snoop (German Shepherd) back in May 2017, and he’s been everything ( i was promised about) and then some. His obedience and protection is phenomenal. He is very social around family and children, but can be very protective when I need him to be. Keep up the great work guys, and thank you for all back up support you provided. Might need one more soon.

I can’t tell you what a relief it’s been to have my dog fully trained by The K9 Academy. Before she was trained, it was so stressful to take her... read more anywhere with me. She would bark at other dogs and pull on the leash, giving me rope burns! Now I can bring her everywhere and she gets compliments every time I go out! I’m so impressed with The K9 Academy!! 10/10 recommend to everyone with a dog!!

September 26, 2021I got my labradoodle from fine line last summer. Their facility is extremely well kept, properly managed and they take exceptional care of their dogs. I will never go to... read more another place again to purchase or train my pups. Highly recommend
September 26, 2021Our Trainersn and Cassie and I’m sure many others that were involved in the process did a wonderful job with my Rottweiler Brutus. My mind was blown at how fast... read more he picked up on what they taught him. They will be getting Brutus back when it’s time for more training as well as my German shepherd kaiser when it’s time for him to get more training as well. I wish I could give this company and these people more than five stars. Thank you for everything you have done!!!!

Our Trainers at The K9 Academy has been very professional and helpful! We lost our AKC paperwork in the mail and he went above and beyond to help us.

September 19, 2022Night and day! We had just gotten a puppy, a mini goldendoodle named Franklin. After 2 months we decided to have him trained and the difference is night and day.... read more He listens so much better, follows commands we couldn't reach him on our own and even gets into the car and onto the couch whereas before we had to pick him up. FineLine was very responsive and professional. They answered quick and sent us pictures regularly. Would highly recommend anyone getting this training for their dogs. It will pay dividends for the life of the pet!
September 26, 2021If you’re in need of dog training this is the place to go!! They take the time to listen to what you want and they make it happen. Our Trainersn... read more and Ariana at fine line family k9 worked wonders with my dog. It’s a night and day difference. I will forever recommend this company.

If I could give a higher review than 5 stars I would! I sent my high spirited silver lab puppy "Blue" there at 3 1/2 months for Our Trainers to... read more train to leash walk, not bite, crate train, stay in place and be well behaved and socialized so I could take him out and also to work with me. It was a tall order. I trusted Our Trainers, respected the space & time he needed to train Blue and when I picked him up Blue had been transformed by Our Trainers into my dream companion dog! I can't say enough about how well Blue was treated there, making friends with the other dogs in training, and how giving him over to The K9 Academy has turned Blue into a wonderful dog and my new best friend. I was once worried that Blue was just too much for me and now he's my shadow and so awesome to be with. Our Trainers truly does perform dog miracles! Thank you Our Trainers! And thank you Ariana for so nicely posting Instagram photos so I could see how Blue was doing. And I appreciate the great training you gave ME when I picked up Blue! The K9 Academy is the best!!
September 26, 2019Our son, Andy was lucky enough to have won a service dog from The K9 Academy. We do believe they couldn’t have picked a better match as he is... read more a PERFECT match with Andy. Radar is being trained at home now for Andy’s specific disabilities and is making great progress. He has been trained for ptsd and balance and is making such a difference in our sons life with more independence and companionship. Andy is so excited and HAPPY to have him. His trainer, Shannon, is absolutely AMAZING, very kind and KNOWLEDGEABLE. We have been so amazed at how well behaved and trained Radar is out in pubic and since he is a service dog and goes everywhere with Andy that is of utmost importance. We could never repay The K9 Academy for what they have done for our son. The K9 Academy has become part of our family and we look forward to our ongoing relationship with all of them.
September 26, 2020I searched for a long time and finally found The K9 Academy, Our Trainersn and Ariana. I can say from the first 5 mins of my conversation with them I... read more knew I found my company. They are funny, upfront and easy to deal with. I am over the moon with my dog I got from them. They matched me with the best friend and protector. Highly recommended.
January 26, 2022I took my 2 year old dog Cider to The K9 Academy and I could not be happier with the results! I have way more control over my dog than... read more I have ever had before. She is still her same goofy self, but obedient. I was starting to feel so stressed out and hopeless when it came to training my dog and having her listen to me and The K9 Academy solved all of those problems. They also make sure your fur baby is having a great time while they are away! Cider was always jumping in the pool and playing with the other dogs! I highly recommend The K9 Academy!

I took my dog to 2 trainers with not so awesome results. They were so easy to deal with. Quality and compassion from them with exceptional business.
November 26, 2021My Chocolate Lab Harley was beyond energetic and had a serious case of CCD. (Canine Compulsive Disorder.) He would chase any reflection and be fixated on it for hours after... read more it was no longer there. This made him bark a lot, scratch at things, and even hurt himself running around in the process- hence the CCD part. We had resulted to a shock collar until a friend of mine recommended The K9 Academy when he was shy of age 2. It was a huge change for him! I can honestly say this was the best decision for my fur child. The structure they have in portraying discipline in the dogs they work with is amazing. I highly recommend the The K9 Academy Family for dog training! It made a huge change in just a few weeks training and guided me into what to do to continue his discipline at home. Made him a great Family dog with my girls and guard dog in our home. He was taught the perfect balance.
September 19, 2022We highly recommend The K9 Academy K9 obedience training. We sent our two (totally out of control) dogs for the three week training course and got back our... read more girls that listen, sit, lay down, stay in place, and are obedient. We are happy; we are no longer yelling at them and they are happy; they get praised for their great behavior. All around win win
January 26, 2022Our 2.5 year old 110 lbs German Shepherd/American Bulldog Jack had a mind of his own before going to Fineline. He would not listen to us and it took a... read more handful of treats for him to make eye contact. We hired trainers that would not work with him because of his dominance aggression and size. The sight of another dog made his eyes glass over like a cage fighter on crack and even turn on us and bite the leash. Our Trainers and Todd took action with our boy and gave him the structure and socialization to other dogs that essentially will save his life in the long run. Jack is now attentive, confident, and desensitized to other dogs. I recommend this company to anyone with dogs ranging from new puppies to stubborn mules from the shelter like Jack. Thank you again Our Trainers and Todd!

Look for me my dog literally come with me to work, greets my clients and is my literal child. so for me where i chose to bring him was akin... read more to choosing a school for my kid. After putting up with me asking eight hundred and one questions about what will be happening, how it will happen, and how hes taken care of i knew this was the place for turtle. I didnt think i could love him more than i did but since training hes an even better boy haha. Thank you guys for your dedicated work!
November 26, 2021I cannot express my gratitude enough to The K9 Academy K-9... I’ve had Layla for a month,and she is amazing! Everywhere we go people comment on how well behaved she... read more is,how alert,and calm.. She never fails to impress me just how solid she is..when a homeless man began to approach us in the park,Layla immediately went between us and quietly kept staring at him with an intensity that is impossible to ignore..He looked at her,turned on his heal and left us alone..And I didn’t have to say a word....yet she loves people,kids,and other dogs..Layla just knows when to “turn it up”... thanks again Our Trainers,Ariana,and Kennedy..
September 26, 2020If you are looking for a professional place that will train your dog in any way you want fine line family K9 dog training is it. They believe in honesty... read more Integrity reliability and everything that they said to us they have delivered and more. We've got one of the best dogs in the world. His name is Bolt and they have trained him for a very long time and he will do anything we ask him to do and is great with our kids. I've got a four-year-old girl and two boys 10 and 13. I've never seen anybody commit prideful ownership and their business ever as much as this business. Adriana and Our Trainers have done excellent work and come highly recommended I give him a 10 out of 10.
May 26, 2022Our family is so lucky to have found Shannon, Ariana, and everyone at The K9 Academy. They’re quite literally lifesavers! From the moment we met them and visited their facility,... read more we were so impressed. We just brought home an incredible service dog, and they’ve been there every step of the way. We’re so impressed with the service dog they trained for us that we sent a new puppy to board and train. They are responsive, caring, reliable, and just amazing at what they do—everything you could ever want in a trainer. Shannon has the patience of a saint and she and everyone at The K9 Academy are now FURever family. 💙🐾

I just wanted to share with every one the great experience we had with our trainer Shannon Potter. We are truly thankful for her Help with our dog Gunner. We... read more now can walk him on leash ,take him for rides in the truck. He sits when told to, goes to place, and stays until released & lays on command. Shannon addressed all our concerns. Gunner looked forward to her arrival for each session. We practice with him every day to keep it fresh in his mind.Thanks again Shannon & Fine line Family K9.
September 26, 2020The K9 Academy does an exceptional job when it comes to training your pup. They are professional, responsive, and work with you to understand your goals for your pup... read more & strive to achieve them. This was my first experience doing a train & board program and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. I sent my 8 month old German Shepherd to the 3 week program, and couldn't be more surprised on his boost in confidence & obedience. If you're looking for a place to start or further your dogs training, look no further!!
November 26, 2021The people who run The K9 Academy are amazing at what they do, the dogs are everything you would want in a family pet combined with all the protection you'll... read more need for your loved ones. Not only are they great at their jobs they're really funny down to earth people, they make you feel good about giving them your business!
September 26, 2021Absolutely Outstanding!!! Best Dog Trainer in Palm Beach County. I would give them 10 Plus Stars. We are very happy with the services from The K9 Academy.

We feel so fortunate to have found Our Trainers and Ariana in our search for a family protection dog. First and foremost, with four children, we wanted a dog... read more that could be a part of our family. Living in California, I have to say that I didn't think getting a dog from Florida would be the most geographically desirable but Our Trainers not only made it work for us, he spent quite some time on the phone with me, educating me on the different types of dogs and trainings. He didn't try to sell me a dog but simply wanted to help me know what to look for. After speaking with several "protection dog" trainers/companies, I knew that Our Trainers had what we wanted and needed. He listened to what was important to us and matched us with the perfect dog. Communication is so important and Our Trainers has been extremely accessible; before, during and after our purchase. Not only did we buy a dog from The K9 Academy, we also received a bonus with their superior customer service. I am confident that if I have any questions or concerns, I could pick up the phone at any time and they will be there. Our Trainers's responsiveness is extraordinary and we couldn't be happier with our dog, Tasha, or their team. We would highly recommend The K9 Academy, and when the time is right, we will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you for matching us with the perfect fit!
September 26, 2020My wife and I took our 6 month old American Bully King, we did a lot of research on training reached out to many private trainers and training facilities but... read more no one gave us the piece of mind and straight up answers like The K9 Academy. They were very honest with me on how the training would go and what it would consist of. We weren't expecting miracles but they equipped my dog with the understanding of what we were needing and expecting from him and gave us the proper tools to continue to polish and work on what he was taught. When we picked him up and how he has been responding at home has exceeded all of our expectations. Thank The K9 Academy so much for helping us with our fury baby, I would definitely use you again for my future dogs and we would also recommend you every chance we get. Also to the young man (Austin) that we dropped and picked up King from he is phenomenal, attentive, respectfu, professional and so informative and most of all he was great with King. You helped ease the process for me and my family of releasing our baby over to people who we did not know - thank you!!! You should an example to your entire team.
September 26, 2021I was searching for your new forever partner to explore the mountains of Washington with myself and my horse as we go alone often. I also wanted a dog that... read more would protect my family and I, but still be a great family dog and enjoy all of our traveling and camping with friends & family. I also suffer from extreme anxiety and one of the dog that would be able to go with me everywhere and behave. I wanted one that had already been started and has a good mind, night not an adult. Then they showed me Atlas... It was love at first sight! Long story short, I got on a plane from Washington and landed in Florida, got a little bit of rest and the next morning he was brought to me. About an hour later I was on an airplane, flying with him in cabin, headed home. He behaved amazingly through the airport, sit stay while I went through the metal detector and then recalled him through the metal detector himself, and slept in the cabin like a baby. Since being home we are inseparable. He goes absolutely everywhere with me and I literally could not be happier. Ariana and Our Trainers have been there for any questions (and trust me, I have A LOT) LOL that I might have and I would honestly never buy a dog or have one trained from any other company ever again. With all of this said, my atlas is only 8 months old! Talk about professionalism and quality training at its best.
September 26, 2021Ah! Where can I even start, we are new to the area and have 4 rescue pups! 1 of them, Izzy has always been a wonderful dog for our little... read more ones and us however when we introduced her to our newest rescue she started acting out, would snatch food from the dinner table and would even pin the puppy down. And it only got worse. We couldn’t take her on walks, she would refuse to come to her name etc..We were recommended by a good friend to contact fine line family K-9 and I couldn’t be more grateful, they’ve not only helped our Izzy but they gave us tools to also continue with our other pups. We will absolutely be back with all our future rescues! Highly recommended

THE best place to get your dog trained. Got my big boy Pluto into their classes at 1year old and his behavior around strangers/childen has massively improved
June 26, 2022The K9 Academy deserves 10 stars. I want to thank Arianna, Our Trainers, Kennedy and the rest of the staff for taking care of my little lady, Maeve, during her... read more 9 week stay. I'm more than impressed with her behavior, discipline and response to her commands. They have turned my dog into the best possible version of her self. I highly recommend you bring your dog to these fine people. I put Maeve through the 6 week obedience and protection training. This was the best decision I've made in my life. Our Trainers and Arianna are very responsive and knowledgeable. I have retained more knowledge from a 5 minute conversation with those 2 than the dozens of books I've read about the German Shepherd. The overall care and end result is through the roof. Thank you for taking my good dog and sending her off a great dog. I'm a life long customer to The K9 Academy!
September 26, 2021We took our family dog Zaylah to The K9 Academy for their board and train obedience program. Before we brought her there she was always reacting to other dogs, pulling... read more on the leash, and wouldn't come when called. Now she is highly improved! She walks perfectly on and off leash, comes when called and is more confident when she see's other dogs. THANK YOU FINE LINE FAMILY K-9!!!
September 26, 2019Our Trainers sold me my 2-year old protection dog. He's the most amazing animal I've ever been around! He and I bonded within the first 24 hours of ownership, and... read more now he follows me everywhere I go and responds extremely well to the commands Our Trainers taught me. I couldn't be happier with my dog, and would immediately recommend to anyone looking for a supremely trained family protection dog to contact The K9 Academy Family before contacting anyone else.

If I could give them 10 stars I would. They have helped me so much with my 5 month mastiff! She came home amazing. Even when I had concern with... read more my 4 year old mastiff they took them both for a bit and they came back best friends, even did a house visit to show me how to properly use the e collar on them. If I ever in my right mind get another puppy, I would send them to Fine line with no questions asked. Highly recommend. 10/10
September 26, 2020I purchased a family protection dog from here! I was in the market and they really made me knowledgeable and matched me with a dog that fit my lifestyle. I... read more am amazed with my new dog! She is everything I’ve ever wanted and some. They made the tradition process so simple. I’m so happy and I recommend their family business to anyone.
September 26, 2020We took our very energetic, goofy 7-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer to The K9 Academy for their 3-week board and train and couldn’t be happier with his results. Our trainer, Briana... read more was amazing with our boy and if I could leave her 10 stars I would! Jake came home well-mannered, very obedient but still his energetic, goofy self. I am so glad that we chose The K9 Academy!!!
June 26, 2022I am disabled and had recently gotten a golden retriever puppy’s dog always wanted a service dog to assist me in my daily routine but never know how to go... read more about doing it, then i came across Ariana and Our Trainers threw a mutual friend. I knew I had a smart puppy but what they did with her in the short amount of time they spent with her is nothing short of AMAZING!!!!! A+++++++++++ I would recommend them to anyone looking at getting a service dog or protection dog or have your personal dog trained. I have personally seen there operation and it is top notch!!
