Black Rock Canines Naugatuck, Connecticut

Black rock canines you’ve done a fantastic job with our dogs. We’re return customers and the experience we’ve gotten each time has been great.

Black rock canines is a fantastic and professional kennel with a vast knowledge and even better trainers..they helped me out and did a fantastic job...100%

I purchased a puppy from Black Rock K-9s two weeks ago. The first thing that threw me off was their unwillingness to let you inside when meeting the puppies. It was a bit of a red flag as I would like to see where and how they are raised …

A huge shoutout to Black Rock Canines for my happy and healthy forever Beagle puppy Slinky! Not only are they a reputable, trustworthy, and responsible breeder… but their friendly and supportive staff are top notch! Look no further, I highly recommend Black Rock Canines!!

Only good things to say about Black Rock Canines. We started with the board and train program for our then 7 month old German Shepherd. Our dog responded very well to the training, and since …

We recently had Daniel, the head trainer, come to our house for a home visit with our dogs. It was so helpful. We were struggling with our dogs being protective when people enter our house as well as getting overexcited on walks in the …

I had the pleasure of visiting Black Rock Canines during the summer. I was pleasantly surprised by the large green spaces of the facility. It was great to see such a natural, safe, and clean space for the dogs to be able to exercise, play, …

We dropped off our 10 month old pointer for a 30 day training. Before the training our pup had no recall, no obedience, separation anxiety, couldn't sleep alone in another room (had to be in the bed), wouldn't eat his food, the list goes on. When we got our puppy back, he was super obedient, off leash trained, all around amazing. It's been 2 months since we got him back and this training changed our life and relationship with our dog. Couldn't recommend Daniel Luna more.

My experience with Black Rock Canines was excellent from start to finish. A very professional, trustworthy, friendly, and efficient process in purchasing our families forever pet. The website made it easier in searching for our new puppy. The staff and trainers are very knowledgeable, patient, and provided a great level of service. Excitingly I certainly recommend Black Rock Canines.

I have visited the Black Rock Canines facility a few times and I was extremely impressed with the way they conducted their business. Customer service was very friendly, helpful, and professional. The facility was well maintained in a clean and organized manner. I always recommend BRK9 to all of my friends and family members should they be interested in dog training or adding a new furry companion to their family. Thank you BRK9 for the wonderful experience!

Black Rock Canine is great family friendly facility! We’re so glad to be able to work with a company that has great values and loves what they do ! The staff is friendly and easy to work with. We can’t wait to get another pup from them !

Just a puppy mill running under the impression of being dog trainers. Discusting.

Black Rock Canines was amazing. Our puppy was out of control prior to his stay at Black Rock. He wouldn't listen to us at all. He would not come when called, he would not sit or stay. When people came to the house he would jump all over …

We sent our 5 month old GSD Slash to BRK9 for the 17 day puppy obedience course and he did so well! When Slash came home he was socializing with other dogs better, easier to handle on walks and was overall a lot more calm. Abbie and Olivia were both awesome, they took great care of Slash and he loved being there which was so important to us. We also did an at home training session where Abbie and Dave came to address any issues we might have had, it was a very informative session and we are so happy with everything we’ve learned from them. We highly recommend BRK9 if you’re looking into board and training courses! We have recommended BRK9 to every dog owner we know because of the great experience we’ve had with them.

We recently got a puppy from Black Rock Canines and while we are happy with our dog, we are not happy with Black Rock. To start they are terrible at responding to calls and emails. It takes multiple attempts to reach anyone and get a response. Up until the day we were supposed to pick up our puppy, I still had not received confirmation of a time, which is frustrating and a little nerve racking when you've paid them $2,000. They claim to guarantee the health of the puppy, but there is nothing in the contract about it. Most other breeders have a very clear and thorough contract outlining protections for both parties, the one we signed was simply a promise to pay on our end and a note that no refunds would be offered. There is no legal protection for the buyer. When we placed our deposit we were told this secured our spot of third pick of males, we were told there were six males so we would have four to choose from, when we arrived there were two to choose from. The woman who was there to help us pick did not know the answers to any of our questions and had no paperwork for the puppy. She promised us we would receive it by mail or email. We have not received any paperwork and made multiple attempts to reach them to get it. They claim the puppy has received a vaccine, and we need documentation of that in order to register our puppy for classes. The lack of professionalism and responsiveness is extremely frustrating and I wouldn't work with them again for a puppy. I'm sure they are wonderful dog trainers, but leave a bit to be desired as breeders.

We had our GSD trained with Danny at Black Rock Canine a few months ago, so when we were going on vacation we knew exactly where we would board our boy! Danny and the Black Rock crew again exceeded our expectations when it came to taking …

Our Golden recently attended the 17 day training program. Since attending she now has her basic commands down, she also is just showing an overall sense of obedience. The team listens to what you need/want and really delivers.

We sent our dog Baba to their behavior modification program. Baba struggled to settle, listen, and play nicely with others. We loved our big dog but he was hard to manage. From my very first call with David the owner, I knew Baba was going to be in good hands. He was extremely accommodating in a very challenging situation after a dog fight between our two boys. We brought Baba up and David, Daniel and their staff of trainers took care of our boy. Each time we visited during his training we could see improvement and Baba was happy while he was there. The time and care Daniel put into Baba’s training you would’ve thought it was his own dog. The results were better than we could’ve ever expected. We are so grateful for Black Rock Canines and would recommend to anyone.

Thank you to Dave and his team for helping us choose a lab fit for our family. They were very responsive, quick to answer emails, and many questions through the process. We couldn’t be happier with our addition to our family . Thank you Black Rock Canine!

My laborador retriever recently came home from >17 days for puppy training. When he got there he was very timid and took more time than is normal to come out of his shell. Daniel and the girls were so patient with him and allowed him to …
