Chris and Rachel (& of course Savannah) were awesome to work with! We brought in our 8 month old very reactive and fear driven German Shepherd and they were able to help us build her confidence and start from the ground up. We noticed a big difference after the first session. We are now able to go out in public with her without her barking at every single dog she sees. They helped us curb her bad habits and helped us understand her much more. Now, 6 months later she is a confident girl and enjoying life!
They have honestly changed our life and I could never be more thankful, worth every penny☺️

Idaho Elite Canine provided outstanding training for my dog. After a month with them, the transformation was remarkable. My dog is now incredibly well-behaved, responsive to commands, and much calmer in various situations. Chris is a true people person, he not only understands dogs deeply but also teaches you how to work with and understand your dog. This personalized approach made a significant difference in maintaining the training at home.

Their professionalism, expertise, and clear communication throughout the process were exceptional. If you're looking for top-notch canine training, I highly recommend Idaho Elite Canine.

Wow - What a gift ?. Rachel & Chris with Idaho Elite K-9 Boarding took care of Gypsy like she was their own.

1. So Clean You Could Eat Off The Floor: Not only did it look, feel and smell clean - the systems they have in this state of the art, brand new facility were awesome. Professional grade air handlers, anti-microbial floor coating, lavender aromatherapy.....

2. Firm But Kind: As retired K-9 handler from the police force, Chris' experience creates an atmosphere where dogs are well cared for and their stress levels managed in a loving compassionate manner. Nightlights and Classical music, along with loads of love kept our 8year Lab in great spirits.

3. Safe & Clean Play Space: Beautiful fenced outdoor yard has grass turf that you could picnic on. In addition, two huge indoor bays, were great spaces to train and play during inclement weather.

4. Pup Cups.....no explanation needed.

5. At pick up Gypsy was clean, calm, and happy.

We are so very grateful to Rachel, Chris, and their family for taking such good care of our girl Gypsy. She stayed two weeks, and we were really happy with how well she was treated and the communication with K-9's team. 100/100 - would HIGHLY recommend.

20/10 would recommend! Idaho Elite K-9 gave me and my dogs the skills we've struggled with for years. Now my dogs know what to expect from me, and I know how to navigate obedience & have better control in situations that we just wouldn't have done before. In my opinion, worth every single penny.

We absolutely loved working with the trainers at Idaho Elite K-9. They are all very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Their expertise helps you target areas in your training where you or your dog are lacking, and they helped to quickly resolve the issue. The sessions were fun and my dog loved the trainers. Chris and the rest of the staff are wonderful. We will definitely be doing the intermediate and elite classes with them as well.

Our family has been incredibly impressed by the great service and professionalism we have experienced from the team at Idaho Elite K-9. My husband has taken our pup, Nova to a few training sessions with Chris and in just a short time we are beyond satisfied with her progress. We love how Chris involves our family in our dogs training. Both my son and husband have attended trainings with her and that has helped so much at home because both kids and adults are taught by Chris how to properly work with our dog to stay consistent with the skills she is learning at training classes at Idaho Elite K-9. When we adopted a puppy we knew it would be work, but with the teething, nipping and jumping we were at a complete loss as to how to correct the behaviors to have a happy dog as well as a calm home. We knew if we wanted to make it work then we needed to have her properly trained to live in a home with kids and smaller pets. After just a few training classes, our giant puppy is completely different behavior wise and we are beginning to enjoy being in the same room with her, our smaller pets are becoming more tolerant and our kids are not being tackled when they walk across the room. We are able to see the new skills in action immediately after each training session and we're excited for her upcoming training sessions and cannot wait to watch our giant puppy continue her transformation to a well-behaved, well-mannered, happy and healthy companion. Thank you, again to the team at Idaho Elite K-9!

We recently completed the Idaho Elite K-9 Intermediate Obedience Training Program with our Australian Shepherd Rylee. I cannot say enough about the program. Chris and Ashley were wonderful instructors who assisted with Rylee’s training. They were also instrumental in providing us with the techniques we needed to make her training effective. It was so easy to schedule appointments for training. Rachel was wonderful in helping us obtain supplies and they are so easy to work with. You can call anytime with questions. The new facility is fantastic. We will definitely utilize Idaho Elite K-9 for all of our future training!

Chris is an amazing trainer! He understands the different personalities of dogs and personalizes his training accordingly. After 8 weeks of training, my 1 1/2 year old goldendoodle passed both the basic and advanced Canine Good Citizen tests. I highly recommend Idaho Elite Canine!
