Kranky K9 Dog Training - Collinsville, Illinois

My baby Lucy had her last training session this morning! She has come such a long way in just 12 weeks. We have only had her just under a year, and the strives and accomplishment she has made is amazing! I cannot thank Bo and Kranky K9 Dog Training enough for helping Lucy build confidence and skills needed to be such a good girl!! Both teaining and daycare had made her such a good and well behaved dog!

My dog had board and train when she was about 9 months old. Now she is almost 9 years old. Still the “best trained dog in the neighborhood” according to our neighbors. I can take her to other peoples houses and farms with complete confidence. She loves being a good girl.
Her training also helped me when it came time to train my new dog.

I cannot recommend Kranky K9 Dog Training enough! I came to them for help with my rescue dog Pepper to help with reactivity and resource guarding. They gave us the tools to help Pepper succeed and get the most out of life. She has truly improved so much over our 8 week courses and they have set Pepper up for a happy and fulfilling life.

Jules, Bo, and the rest of the staff are extremely knowledgeable around all dog breeds and behavior types. They have expert knowledge with helping reactive dogs, and most importantly, treat your dogs with love and respect!!

We are so lucky to have found Kranky K9 and will definitely use them again in the future!

We have been using KK9 for about 10 years. The other day I dropped them off for boarding. They were so excited to see the staff. We are also VERY comfortable leaving them there as the staff are the best in the business. We have also had both dogs trained at the facility with Bo. He is wonderful and has made living with a reactive dog much more comfortable. We know why she reacts and how to manage her and keep her safe.

The staff at Kranky K9 have been AMAZING! Our pup, Bo, has been through the new puppy training and the Walk Dr training and it is now super well-behaved compared to the "T-Rex" we brought in on day 1! Our Bo also LOVES going to daycare with friends at Kranky K9!

I needed last minute boarding for my dog due to him being kicked out of another daycare for reactive behavior to other dogs. I didn’t like the idea of my dog spending all day in a kennel during boarding and their website said they work with dogs that have been kicked out of other facilities.

I’m glad I found them, not only could they get me in for boarding last minute, but they took him all day today to evaluate his behavior to make sure he was a good fit. They noted he started limping and was sore after intense play and this probably accounted for his reactivity at the other daycare. They put him in a small play group with less active dogs, they give frequent breaks and rest times, and also give the dogs one to one attention including mental stimulation for anything they need to work on with training.

They said he did great and I received a very thorough report card regarding his first day. He is sleeping like a rock right now. Super happy and hope he has a great week with them while I’m out of town.

We rescued an ACD mix (Bentley) and had everything working against us. We had no experience with this breed or high-drive dogs in general. But this one in particular had major aggression issues. My dad, who officially adopted our rescue, is older and mildly handicapped making it a little harder to be on his toes with fast paced exercises. Bo went to every length he could to explore all training options that would work for our unique situation. We couldn’t be happier with all we’ve learned and the progress made. Casey at the front was always a great help and very responsive. 10/10 would recommend!

I'm so happy to add another glowing review. Yesterday we picked up our dog from her first stay at Kranky K9 (a three week board-and-train program). She came home confident, relaxed, and playful. This has not been the case with any of her prior boarding experiences. It is very clear that the staff and trainers at Kranky K9 treated her as an individual with a unique personality, and that's exactly what we were hoping to find for her. We haven't completed the training component of the package yet, but so far it's going great. She's loving the circuit training we were given to practice with her, and all the instructions have been clear and informative. These are people who love dogs and are super experienced and skilled at working with them. Yay!
