Western States K-9 College Salt Lake City, Utah

Hands down, best trainer you'll fund ... Joe trains all the other trainers, go with the best...

I thought this may help if its a mistake.... but you have a price for your training level 1 at 6k.

The team at WSK9 is amazing. They have been extremely flexible in working with my clients and their dogs at the Utah Dog Park and they get fantastic results! I highly recommend Jo and her team!

We think Joe is amazing. Our four year old, Heidi, is extremely high spirited and very hard to control! We had worked unsuccessfully with another trainer. In desperation we thought we would try again. Everything Joe has taught us is …

I have had a WONDERFUL Experience with Joe & Western States k9! I asked to get in for a appointment to have a Behavior Consult, and they got me for an appointment in a timely manner I didn't need to wait really at all. And because my husband and I just adopted a New puppy we needed some help and advice on how to deal with my current older house dog. My husband and I were REALLY stressed and concerned it wouldn't work out with the new puppy! But when Joe came over and explained the situation and how dogs really think and what their perspective was, it all made COMPLETE sense. I actually began to see "light at the end of the tunnel"! With her guidelines, expertise, and explanations I have seen a tremendous change in both dogs!! Its a big relief and so much more settling! I would strongly encourage you as a new pet owner or old pet owner that needs some additional help for training or even to just understand your pet better to contact her!! 5 stars!

We have had problems with all of our dogs' behavior throughout each of their lives. We had gone to several other trainers and never got the results we were looking for. We love our dogs, but their behavior in public was keeping us from being able to do things with them and enjoy them more. We thankfully found Joe and her awesome team. We had private in-home lessons with all 4 of our dogs and the results we have had by implementing her training techniques have been amazing. Our dogs are happier and much more well adjusted. We now have a much better understanding of our dogs and have the tools and knowledge to maintain our training. We took our 2 young rescue dogs to the Canine Good Citizens course that Western States offers and it was so helpful. We recommend everyone who asks us about training to Joe and her team. We could not be happier with the entire experience. Joe is a true expert and always willing to give encouragement and advice for any problems that may arise. We definitely plan to continue the wonderful different classes they offer. Not only did we love working with Joe and her team, but our dogs loved it too.

we love Jo! We have a frisky mini Aussie who was not liking guests in our home. She was well organized, had a plan and stuck with us all the way through. Her insights into the dog's behavior are so interesting! I would definitely use her again and recommend her.

I LOVE Western States K9 College! My husband and I took the group puppy class with our French Bulldog Louis. Everything we learned in the class made a HUGE difference in raising our tiny puppy! Everything from basic training to …

We have 2 mixed, high energy dogs in our household. When the dogs were 2 years and 1 years old we knew we needed professional help in training them, as they were out of control and were developing some bad behaviors. Our vet recommend Joe …

When our sweet but headstrong and energetic Pit Bull, Nala joined our family, we didn't realize what a challenge it would be to train her. Luckily, we found Western States K-9 College and life with Nala became much more manageable and fun. …

Joe and her staff have given a new life to my son when they found and trained a service dog for him. Their caring, concern and expertise are incredible. Our beautiful dog is still in training, and they go above and beyond to work around …

Joe and her team are really great! Our dog is now 2+ years old. During the first year my Wife was honestly ready to put her up for adoption. With Joe's help with both the dog AND us we could not be happier. Jackie is truly part of our Family and is for the most part VERY well behaved. Joe taught us simple ways to keep our Dog in check and to learn to respect us. I would highly recommend their services. We still check in from time to time with questions and services and have always been treated very well. Thank you Joe for helping us have a Dog that we will love and cherish all of her life.

My pup is currently in her second group class at Western States. They are so great to work with and are SO patient with the craziness that is my pup. They provide easy to follow training techniques and are always willing to answer …

Our family can't say enough about Western States K-9 College. Joe and WSK9 was recommended to us by our vet who also had a great experience. One of our older dogs had begun fighting with our newly adopted six month old puppy after …

Not worth you or your pets time. We were treated best by an assistant trainer who had only attended a few of our classes. When we expressed our concerns with our main trainer and class, we received a very rude response back from the owner …

We have appreciated the responses from our dogs due to the training tips that we have been shown. Joe has been patient and has guided our 3 dogs to learn new techniques. We are not done yet, but expect further visual growth in their learning curve.

Joe is hands down the best dog trainer I have ever had the pleasure of working with. When I adopted my dog 4 years ago I knew he came with behavorial issues, but I had no idea how hard they would be to work through. We’ve come a long way, …

We were introduced to Joe and the rest of the Western States K-9 College staff when one of our rescue dogs was causing some concerns at his doggie day care center. Joe came to our house and worked with us and both of our dogs to help …

Our experience with Western States K-9 College and Joe was amazing. We did the Beginning CGC class and she made sure to address every dog and owner's quirks and concerns, in regards to the CGC test and personal issues going on at home. She …

One of our four dogs had attacked our other dog unprovoked twice in two weeks and was starting to be aggressive around certain objects. We called a friend and she referred us to the owner of Western States. We called, left a message and …

They do in fact use shock collars. We started our dog on a shock collar eTouch program and the results were devastating.

Joe and Marissa are amazing. We are first time dog owners and felt overwhelmed with the task of training our five month old Portuguese Water Dog puppy. Joe and her team helped us to communicate with our dog so that he developed good …

Joe helped us a great deal with our dog, giving us an honest evaluation of her behaviors and sharing many excellent tips with us as we take our old girl on a cross country trip to live in a new area. She impressed us with her professionalism and expertise. We will definitely be recommending her services.

We just finished the basic class for our 5 month old puppy. It was a great class and we learned a lot. Loved the test at the end. It really motivated us to work with the puppy every night. …
