Words cannot express how grateful we are to have found Kristie at Nexus K9! Prior to picking up our new lab puppy, I began researching trainers in the Savannah area, but none of them felt right for what we were actually looking for. I came across Nexus K9 and after looking over her website and speaking with her on the phone, I knew 1000% she was the perfect pick for our family! ... I cannot say enough positive things about Nexus K9! Our family trusted Kristie to help us train a dog that could be trusted and enjoyed in any environment, and she produced! Hands down, 10/10 recommend Nexus K9 for any and all training needs!!

Kristi at Nexus K9 is by far one of the best dog trainers around! She is very responsive when scheduling the initial appointment, does a VERY good job with training and making sure that her clients dogs are well taken care of. Would definitely visit Nexus K9 again for future dogs.

At Nexus K9 they are very professional. They took our 5 month German shepherd who was inattentive and over stimulated all the time and helped him to learn to calm down as well as teaching us the tools we need to have a successful happy k9. Now the family can go on walks with our pup without explosive behavior. Thank you Nexus K9!!
