Testimonials

Brittany went above and beyond

Brittany went above and beyond to answer all questions and concerns throughout the process. When you watch her interact with the dogs she is training, you can tell she loves what she does. We have gotten so many compliments about how well behaved our pup is when we take her out. It’s such a great feeling to know that your dog is happily trained and not just made to listen. We highly recommend 2bk9, are so glad we picked them for training for our dog.

Tonya Holbrook

My puppy was very wild

My puppy was very wild and had a mind of his own leaving it hard for me to do any tasks without him jumping all over the place! Brittany kept him for her basic obedience board and train and our lives have forever been changed! She loves these dogs like no other and has a talent for training and it shows in her results!
I am now able to be confident in taking my dog in public, to family events, on car rides and, off leash in the yard knowing he will listen to his commands!! You will not regret it, Brittany is the way to go!!

Kaylee Sherrill

I highly recommend Brittanyโ€™s

I highly recommend Brittanyโ€™s training program. Her method is truly enjoyable for the dog and the owner. It is so nice to have the confidence in my dog , that she will listen to me no matter what is going on around her. Brittany cares and loves your animal as it was one of her own dogs and makes sure you feel confident continuing training at home. My Rottweiler is well trained and still a wonderful family pet.
The investment is 100% worth it!

Brittany is extremely passionate about

Brittany is extremely passionate about training dogs! She knows how to adjust the training based on the dogs breed and personality. She made me feel like my dog was so special. I was amazed that my yellow lab puppy could hold a down stay when you out of her sight at only five months old! My puppy learn to love โ€œFarmโ€ living while she was being trained. Highly recommend 2BK9 Training

Kristin Bradley

Brittany did an amazing job

Brittany did an amazing job with her training because she treated my dogs like her own during their stay. We went over needs, wants and expectations and she delivered on everything she said she would. She gave us the proper tools and training to know what to do when we took our dogs home. We were routinely updated with progress videos (my boys asked daily if we got new dog video updates!) that weโ€™re helpful for us to watch to be able to know how to transition when we brought them home. We highly recommend Brittanyโ€™s top notch services for dog training because pets are like family. If only she trained kids!

Somehow I ended up with

Somehow I ended up with 2 five month old puppies who had virtually no training AT ALL!! I was recovering from surgery and things were going very slowly, if at all. Brittany was a godsend, she took my 2 girls from unruly pups to well behaved young ladies in just a few short weeks. Brittany really is amazing with dogs, sheโ€™s truly found her calling and Iโ€™m forever grateful to her.

Sue Clohecy

I have known Brittany for

I have known Brittany for many years from barrel racing with my daughter. I watched her with her horses. She was always so chill and she just had a way with them. A communication line, I guess you’d say. Not everyone has that. I was so excited when she started dog training. She speaks the language. Every dog is not the same and she gets that. She loves them and really wants every dog to be the best they can be. She truly is a dog whisperer or maybe the Dr DoLittle of dogs and your dog will get the best of care and best of training with her. She passionately gives it her all, all day, every day!!

Lisa Shreve

This is hard to even

This is hard to even start. Words can not express the amount of gratitude I have for Brittany and her program!! She is extremely well knowledged when it comes to these dogs, hard working, and loves and adores our Fur Babies just as much as we do! I am very picky when it comes Mabel, I fell across her accidentally and sent her a text, within 5 minutes she had called me. We talked on the phone for over an hour and she made me feel comfortable with sending my dog. So comfortable that I didnโ€™t discuss it with anyone I booked Mabelโ€™s session over the phone with her and knew she was going to be great. I was exactly right!!!!! Mabel went in to Brittany as a head strung, crazy, shy Australian Shepard. She came out a well behaved, good listening, great all around dog. I could never walk Mabel off leash without her pulling me around, and for sure could never bring her in a store without her acting crazy, I was embarrassedโ€ฆ Now I bring Mabel everywhere I go, she walks right by my side, and can hold a down stay on command at any point I need her to. Before Brittany Mabel would dash out the door and would take us 2 hours to get her back, she was so quick and would not listen to us, which is extremely dangerous. Now Mabel has such a good recall that I can finally trust her to play out in the yard. I promise if you are thinking about training your dog, Brittany is the ONLY person I would ever trust. During the whole process you get updates constantly to where you donโ€™t even know they are away, and after you take your dog home she is just a phone call away if there is any questions. I know deep down in my heart this is not her job, this is her PASSION and she puts her heart into every dog she meets. I could not have done this without Brittany, and let me tell you I enjoy my puppy now, she is my whole life, I canโ€™t wait to be around her and take her everywhere with me, I show her off to everyone because I am so proud of her accomplishments. But I am even more proud of Brittany, this would never be possible. We love 2bk9, and every dog we ever own will go there! You have a forever supporter from us! Thank you for everything!!!!!

Kara Hill

We sent our super shy,

We sent our super shy, high strung, bird chasing, running out the door, food taking, spoiled toy Aussie to 2BK9 and it was by far the best thing we ever did for our dog and for us. Dropping her off I was super nervous but Brittany assured us it was going to be fine and our Mabel is in good hands and said if anything happened sheโ€™d call us immediately and inform us even if itโ€™s something minor. Nothing bad happened and we got updates almost every day, we couldnโ€™t believe the progress she was making with our crazy dog in less than a month. Our sweet Mabel is now better than ever and has calmed down so much. We can recall her when sheโ€™s chasing birds or squirrels or runs out of the door. We can place her in a down and she will lay there for what feels like forever but it allows us to get things done. Every dog we will get in the future will go see Brittany without question!!!!!! We love 2BK9 and could never thank yโ€™all enough!! You are the best hands down.

If you are browsing through

If you are browsing through this website thinking about sending your fur baby to training, then look no further. Me and my husband rescued our first Belgian Malinois and he was tragically hit by a vehicle so my husband just two short weeks later had to have another Mal. We then added Owen to our family. Needless to say Owen was way more rambunctious then the first rescue we had. Thatโ€™s when we discovered Owen needed someone to train him that is knowledgeable about his breed. My co-worker recommended 2BK9. From the first phone conversation with the owner Brittney I knew I had found the right place for Owen. Brittney demonstrated nothing short of professionalism, compassion and more knowledge than anyone I know about canines when my husband and I took our first tour. Throughout Owenโ€™s training she continuously was in contact with me and my husband about Owens progress. She works very thoroughly with her dogs in training and takes care of them just like her own. There are not enough words to give this business the credit they deserve. Brittney the owner has given us our life back pertaining to Owen and for that I will forever be grateful.

We brought our dog Walter

We brought our dog Walter to Brittany at 6 months old. He was starting to not listen to us, would never go for a walk, would not come to us when we called him, even with a promise of a small treat he would only come if it suited him. It was becoming difficult, and draining on our relationship- no bonding at all. After we dropped him off, we missed the little guy so. Brittany kept us posted of his progress immediately, and continued to do so throughout his 4 week stay. What happiness her successful videos and messages brought us! We picked him up yesterday – we will always be so grateful of her talent and her success in turning Walter around!

WELL WORTH IT!! We chose

WELL WORTH IT!! We chose Brittany simply from her integrity on being timely and accountable for her communication and what to expect for her services. We set up dates and times to send our dog and she was well organized/prepared. She sent pictures/ videos of both playtime and clips to help us reinforce training. She even sent a detailed word document of the commands and troubleshooting at our request. It is apparent her professionalism shows through the training, our dog now is amazing with a household of distractions (young kids, sport events, friends, other dogs) as he stays downs in command and walks on and off leash glued to your leg. Its very nice to have your dog on recall and not have to worry about open doors, squirrels, on leash poops and unauthorized eating of backyard sticks, mushrooms, onion grass etc. This is by far the best decision for our family and the dog as we are both happier together and he cannot wait to do training sessions for fun. If you are contemplating this training, get on the schedule as fast as you can because you wonโ€™t regret it. We do not have a negative thing to say about this experience. I still speak with Brittany to fine tune my training and she sends me videos back to help train better as a “green handler”. This investment spans a lifetime of happiness for the dog and owner!

Brittany did an awesome job

Brittany did an awesome job with our heeler puppy! My daughter was diagnosed with cancer rite after we got him & we knew we wouldnโ€™t have the time to put into him at the most important time of his life so I called Brittany and she took him for us and did an awesome job with him! She would even brighten my daughters days with videos & pictures showing his progress! She was definitely a life saver for us & I would highly recommend her services!

Paula Cheek

Brittany trained my sweet puppy

Brittany trained my sweet puppy Sadie when she was only 3 months old. Sadie was fresh she didn’t know a thing besides sit. She was very hyper and horrible on a leash. She didn’t listen to a word I said. I knew I had to do something while Sadie was still young. Brittany turned Sadie into a great dog. She was easy to walk, she listened to commands, and was great on a leash. I can’t thank Brittney enough for giving me a great dog. I totally recommend her for training you will come home with a brand new dog!

Alison Crucitti

If you know much about

If you know much about our lives you know Bailey has a best friend named Piper who is her EVERYTHING ๐Ÿ–ค
Piper became a VERY anxious, territorial, scary (to be honest) American Bully. We got to the point of having to keep Piper in a custom made wooden & rebar kennel (which she chewed through & even broke teeth) when we would have company. Bailey could not have friends over, we had fears of Piper hurting other animals, she had once before. Our home, our lives were chaos. I wasn’t sure where to turn but I knew something had to be done. I was out of options & exhausted from Piper proofing our lives. At our home, Piper had never been off leash, she could not be trusted with our neighbors or friends & especially not with any other animal. I was told Brittany Bell would change my life. I was told she was my hope! She had 1 opening left when I called her & I prayed & prayed that this would work out! As much as I tried to stay positive I would be lying if I told you I wasn’t skeptical. Dropping Piper off with Brittany & her husband Derek I prayed & was a mess of anxiety just knowing that Piper would lunge at them & attack.

1 month later, our lives have forever changed. Our home is happy, Piper is happy! Piper has no anxiety, we have no anxiety. Piper is off leash running & playing in our yard with her very best friend Gypsy, our heeler (whom she would never give a chance before). Piper listens off leash & stays right by our sides. When she is put in a down stay I feel certain she would not move an inch if a filet mignon was placed a foot from her. Piper sleeps with Bailey at night, no chewing or tearing up anything! She is quiet in her kennel. She still is territorial over her home with strangers, which we are VERY thankful for, but listens & respects her down stay when Bailey calls her off! Y’all I wasn’t sure that the inevitable would not happen with Piper. When I tell you that 2BK9 will change your world, I’m being 100% honest. I urge you to reach out to Brittany if you’re having ANY issue with your k9. No matter the age, no matter the issue! You CAN live a VERY HAPPY life with your dog & your dog can live a happy life with you! While Piper was away we not once worried about her care or condition, adores Brittany & Derek & they truly love her too! Their facility is top notch! The only thing I would change from our experience is I honestly wish we would have found 2BK9 sooner! We have a happy dog, we are a happy family! Thankful is such an understatement.
5 Stars …only because 10 is not an option.

Brittany, from the bottom of this mommas heart, thank you for fixing our issues. Thank you for changing our lives! We now live a happy life with our dogs! ๐Ÿ˜ญโค๐Ÿ™

Brittany took our wild golden

Brittany took our wild golden doodle & helped her become a well-mannered lady! She has such a passion for dogs and training! I recommend her to anyone looking for a professional!

Rhonda Simpson

If you’re looking for the

If you’re looking for the best, you have found her! Brittany is as kind and loving as she is hard working and tough! She will love your pup like her own while he/she is in her care. Her home and facility is absolutly beautiful! Brittany trained our German Shepard, Zeus and he is SHARP. At pick up Brittany took the time to answer any questions I had and took the time to show me how to handle my dog. Brittany and 2bk9 would get 10 stars from me if it were a thing! If you’re looking to train or board, you have found the place. Like she says, live a happier life with your dog!

Jordan Willis

2BK9 is the BEST training

2BK9 is the BEST training your dog (and you) can get! Brittany is AMAZING. She truly loves what she does & it’s evident in the end result. The dogs are happy to be with her and train, which speaks volumes of her connection and passion for what she does. If you’re questioning the investment – don’t. That is exactly what the cost is – an investment for the future of the dog. Just remember – training doesn’t end when you pick up your dog, the owner/family has to continue to work with the dog at home to reinforce what Brittany has taught. It is WELL WORTH it – the dogs become good listeners and can be much more involved with family activities. We have had both of our dogs trained by Brittany and recommend her highly to anyone who comments on how well-behaved our pups are! We would absolutely recommend 2BK9 for anyone who’s thinking about getting their dog trained. We can’t thank Brittany enough for the work that she puts into these dogs!

Bill & Missy Leahy

Great people if you want

Great people if you want your dog trained right this is where you need to take them I highly recommend them. Absolutely amazing what she can do with the dog.

I rescued a dog from

I rescued a dog from the pound and sent her to Brittany after only 3 weeks of having her. My life consists of horses all day, every day and I needed to be sure she formed good behavior and a positive attitude toward them before creating bad habits. Brittany went above and beyond to make Suede felt loved, at home, and confident which she needed after being tossed around, probably her whole life. She made sure she was around her farm and horses as much as possible to lay strong groundwork for her new “life’s work”. I was kept up to date on Suede’s journey, both positive achievements as well as any challenges that were presenting themselves at the time, with videos, pictures, and phone calls. I’ve had Suede at home a week now and I have an incredible partner after a month at 2BK9. She is strong in obedience, responds to only voice commands for correction, is confident, and is great around my horses! I took her to her first barrel race this past weekend and she held a long down stay several times amidst the distractions of a hectic environment. I let her walk around freely in a field because I knew her recall was on point. She has spent her whole days with me riding and caring for horses and has been an asset and enjoyable to have around. If you truly want a happier life with your dog, send them to Brittany.

Brittany was recommended to me

Brittany was recommended to me as a trainer for my Dutch shepherd puppy. I have had many dogs and they knew some basic commands but I had never sent a dog to board and train before. I was hesitant to send my dog to a stranger for 4 weeks and wondered if it would be worth the expense. After speaking to Brittany on the phone I felt very comfortable that I had found the right person to train my dog. That was confirmed when I dropped him off for training. She sent pictures and videos throughout the 4 weeks and I could see exactly how he was progressing. When I picked him up at the end of training she worked with me to make sure I knew how to use all the commands with him. I now have a well trained 8 month old puppy both on and off leash. It is fun to work with him and it makes it so much easier every day when you know your dog will listen. I highly recommend Brittany as a dog trainer and also she was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. Our other puppy will be attending the same class with her in a couple of months.

I was referred to 2BK9

I was referred to 2BK9 after our beloved, previously docile German Shepherd dog, developed โ€œstranger dangerโ€ and began barking, growling and lunging at neighbors walking past our home. We were terrified to even let him outdoors for fear it would progress to the next level. We needed to act quickly to find a solution to remedy his behavior. After a phone consultation with Brittany, she determined he was exhibiting fear based aggression due to lack of confidence and she knew exactly how to help him! She was able to adjust her schedule to accommodate us so he could start training a month earlier than we anticipated. Brittany is very knowledgeable and promptly answered all our questions. She kept us informed along the way, and texted us photos and videos documenting his progress. When it came time to pick him up, we were truly astonished at what Brittany had accomplished! Today our dog is well adjusted, socialized and confidant. We can take him ANYWHERE. He follows commands and maintains a down stay under heavy distractions, in crowds, at the airport, ball games, festivals, in retail stores and even under the table at restaurants. He walks calmly beside us on the lead and sits (unprompted) when we stop. Everywhere we go, people are amazed at what a well behaved dog he is. Brittany is simply the BEST at what she does and we both agree, investing in his training at 2BK9 was the BEST money we ever spent! So what are you waiting for?!! Contact Brittany today!

After being attacked by 2

After being attacked by 2 separate dogs in the past year Luna (my 1 yr old Cane Corso) had become quite aggressive towards other dogs. I was advised I should muzzle her by the vet and I did. What I found was that she looked so different that other dogs would go after her because they were unsure of her looks with the muzzle one. I hated doing this because it made her vulnerable and unable to protect herself when she was attacked the second time. I decided to take her for professional training with Brittany Bell at 2BK9. Hands down the best decision I could’ve made!!!!!

Luna has done fabulously so far on our trip. I picked her up from training just 2 days prior to leaving. She had a great week at the IFYR and is loving life here at NHSFR getting to run and play without the muzzle. She has enjoyed everyone from Team VA loving on her and just getting to be a normal dog. Brittany Bell I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for Luna and I.

If you are on the

If you are on the fence about training, here is your sign to โ€œcall Brittanyโ€. Our 6 month old puppy was a HIGHLY driven lab and she was able channel that energy into a love for learning.

Brittanyโ€™s passion for training and love for animals is evident. I love that her program is it is not โ€œone size fits allโ€. Each dog is meticulously examined to determine the exact training level/method required to successfully meet (and beat) the desired goals.

We received pictures and videos almost every day to see his progress and curb the anxieties of missing our dog. I also appreciated that she took the time to teach and inform us, at graduation, on proper techniques and commands. Everyone (mainly me, in my case) are now on the same page when we got home to continue building on the foundation of skills taught. To be honest, my dog is basically training me at the moment.

I cannot express our gratitude to Brittany and her husband for taking such good care of and loving our little guy while at training!

Lindsey Bell

I thought my grand-dog was

I thought my grand-dog was untrainable.
The day I dropped him off I could not even walk him on a lease. GSP are so very hyper.
She performed miracles with Duke. He is a new dog. She loves her work and treats the dogs as if they were her own. It was so nice not to have to worry about his care while he was there. She is just amazing. I also canโ€™t say enough about the facility is like no other I have ever seen.
We brought Duke down from Virginia rather than using a place up here after seeing the great job she did with a friends dog.
Do not hesitate to send your dog there for training. He or she will be loved, cared for, have fun, and learn too. Just an amazing place and trainer.

Ms Brittany and Mr Derick

Ms Brittany and Mr Derick were absolutely Great. They had my Mocha a 5 month old Dutch Shepard / Malinois mix. They worked so hard day-in and day-out with with Mocha and me as I had a crash course in handling her and what to expect with this breed. Now she is listening to commands and doing wonderful with training 15 minutes twice a day. I learned so much from them as I had to fly from Texas to pick her up and rent a car to drive back as Ms Brittany recommended not to fly with her because of her age and it would benefit me and Mocha to give us more time to bond. It was so great driving back with her, great advice.
I would 100% recommend 2BK9 ( Ms Brittany and Mr Derek) they are spectacular and will answer any questions and are a phone call / text away. Best investment I have ever made. Thank you to both of you!

Charles Foulk

Ouiser loves her babies! We

Ouiser loves her babies! We have taken her almost everywhere since picking her up from Brittany’s and she has been a dream! So thankful we decided to send her to 2BK9 for training!

She is trained way better than the children.

Whitney Robinson

We took sweet Kobi to

We took sweet Kobi to 2BK9 because he was to big to control. He would pull us down when trying to walk him. He was so full of playful energy he wasnโ€™t fun to be around.
Today we have a new dog. He is still full of energy and happy, but he is such a joy to be around. He goes with us everywhere without worry. We can walk past other dogs, go into crowds and stop and let kids pet him. We have so much fun with him now. Our 43 pound seven year old can take him out without any trouble. She can put him in a down stay while swinging and he stays right by her.
Besides the fact that we have a new dogโ€ฆ
The facility was amazingly clean, the atmosphere was inviting. Kobi loved his time there. They arenโ€™t just trainers now, they are family. This husband and wife team are far more than trainers. They love animals and people. They share their passion and testimonies with us. Christ truly is the center of their lives and business and it shows. We were and continue to be blessed from our experience there.
I will forever more save money for the training, BEFORE, I buy the dog! Thatโ€™s how important it is to me. We canโ€™t thank them enough!

Tracy Millsaps

We had our two Rhodesian

We had our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks trained at 2BK9, by Brittany Bell, and could not be more pleased with the results! We have a 4 yr old male and a 2 yr old female. We were able to visit in advance of the training to see the facilities. 2BK9 is on the owners large property with a fenced training area and a modern, clean kennel. We were impressed with what we saw and signed our pups up immediately.

Brittany cared for our dogs so well and sent pictures and video during their 4 week training. We were so impressed with the results, even within the first couple of weeks. We have had our dogs home for a full month and we are blown away with the results. Our male had become reactive to certain dogs and people, making it difficult to take him on walks. This is no longer a problem and he is doing amazing now. Both dogs are now a joy to walk, to take out in public, and at home.

The communication with Brittany has been amazing both during the training and after. She has been super responsive to questions we have had since returning home and is always willing to help.

Both of our dogs had been trained previously but what Brittany accomplished with them is far and above what any trainer had done in the past.

We HIGHLY recommend 2BK9 if we want to “Live a happier life with your dog”!

Jon Ray

Best trainer ever!! Highly, highly

Best trainer ever!! Highly, highly recommend, Brittany goes above and beyond to train her dogs, you can tell she enjoys what she does. We knew Fritz was well taken care of the whole time. Brittany takes the time to text updates and send videos, always responds quickly to phone calls and texts. Beyond happy Fritz went to 2BK9! She took a really good dog and developed her into a great dog

Randall and Natalie Ford

Brittany did a fantastic job

Brittany did a fantastic job helping our dog Ginny through the 4 week training process. She communicated with us multiple times throughout the time Ginny was with her, and sent pictures/videos to help us see her progress! Ginny was happy, healthy, and loved on during her time at 2BK9. She was initially a very anxious puppy, but Brittany took her in and calmed both her (and our) nerves. She provided client training at the end of 4 weeks to teach us how to continue what Ginny has learned at home. We are very pleased with what Brittany has taught Ginny during their time together, and look forward to continuing that momentum at home!

Kellie Kerley

We adopted a rescue dog,

We adopted a rescue dog, but I knew by going that route we likely wouldnโ€™t know the dogโ€™s history or breed, and I wanted to make sure we had one my kids could handle and who would be their new best friend. We found a dog who had just the personality we were looking for at a local shelter. He was happy and friendly, but he was handful. Trying to walk him on a leash was more like flying a 50lb kite in a windstorm. He had no manners and was too much for me to handle, much less my kids.
With the first update text, Brittany nailed his personality and problems. As the month progressed, and we got updates, I could tell this was 100% the right decision and the right place for him to be. He seemed to be having fun at โ€œcampโ€ and learning so much. When we picked him up, the progress was amazing. He had learned his basic commands and was so much better behaved. He finally had some manners, my kids were able to handle him, and his fun-loving, goofy personality was completely intact.
We had some work done our house soon after we got him, and they were back for follow-up a few days after he returned from training. They commented on how much better behaved and calm he was, they said he was like a different dog and I agree! If you are on the fence about scheduling the training, do it! You will not regret it. We are so happy we made the decision to send Bandit to the basic obedience board and train, and so excited to live a better life with our dog!

Truly could not recommend Brittany

Truly could not recommend Brittany and 2BK9 enough. The care she takes of the dogs and the quality of training can’t be beat. Anyone considering sending their dog for training should absolutely choose this program!

Sarah Fox

I have a red heeler

I have a red heeler named Fancy that went to Brittany and I couldnโ€™t be happier with the results! Before she went I had almost given up on Fancy and really thought I was going to have to rehome her, she was aggressive to our other female dog and I had zero control of her. She now gets along with all our other dogs and is a joy to have around. I joke all the time that she is the only thing in my house that minds me! Iโ€™m so appreciative of Brittany and the time, patience and love she pours into these dogs to make them happy well adjusted pets. Best decision I made for Fancy!

Megan Belton

Brittany is the best! She

Brittany is the best! She trains great and her facility is great, she takes good care of our dog when we board her, and goes above and beyond in taking care of our dog. You can tell she really cares about her dogs, and our dog loves her. She’s the best in the business, hands down!

Randall Ford

I wouldn’t have trusted anyone

I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else with my babies!!! Brittany went above and beyond! You and your fur babies become family she doesn’t just train and done she will continue to stay involved after bringing them home! My girls have changed so much and now can be more involved in our hiking adventures and just our daily lives! So thankful!

Michelle Greene

Brittany did an amazing job

Brittany did an amazing job with my dog Gus. Gus was very hardheaded & stubborn with a mind of his own. We enrolled him in her obedience training program and he was a totally different dog when we picked him up at the end of the 4 weeks. I am truly amazed at what she taught him in that short time. Gus now obeys commands and has learned some manners. She has a true love of animals and it shows. I would recommend her to anyone looking to have their dog trained.

Pam Massey

We cannot thank Brittany enough

We cannot thank Brittany enough for changing our lives with having the best behaved dog! It has been the best investment putting our dog through the basic training so we can go out in public and have control over our dog and for her to learn her ears were made for listening ๐Ÿ™‚ what a game changer! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to have a better life with their dog, youโ€™ll get a ton of compliments!

Joshua Martin

Our miniature goldendoodle

Our miniature goldendoodle Ruby loves it here! We boarded her and they treated her like family. We also left Ruby here for their training program. She learned so much while she was there! Definitely recommend everyone to bring their dog here! Weโ€™re so happy with the results we have seen after having her trained.

Samantha Kiser

We first heard about Brittany

We first heard about Brittany from our friends who had two dogs trained at 2BK9. Then I attended her Open house/Customer Appreciation event. I was sold on Brittany from that day ! However, we adopted Sophie from a local humane society when she was six, now she’s 8 years old, almost 9. My first question to Brittany – is there an age limit, can you work with her. Brittany said no age limit, and was very encouraging and so we signed up! Sophie is a Hound mix, her nose is smelling either on the ground or in the air. Every distraction is …well..a distraction! Brittany considers all characteristics and the personality of the trainee. She texted us with progress videos, and I couldn’t believe the positive change in Sophie. She weighs only 35 lbs. but you let a deer or squirrel get her attention, and she could bring me down in a heartbeat. Now, I have her under control even with the deer and other critters around. Brittany trains the owner, also, which is just as important to keep the dog in tune. Just this week I was doubting some of the things I have been doing so my husband videoed me and Sophie, we sent it to Brittany and she called me with corrections, corrections for me! Sophie is a spry 9 year old and hopefully has many more years to go. I am so thankful for the compassion Brittany brings to the training, she loves each dog as her own, and our Sophie is a better dog for going through her basic obedience course.

Our dogs, Bo & Snowbelle,

Our dogs, Bo & Snowbelle, attended Brittanyโ€™s 4 week board and train in January 2024. Prior to their training, neither dog had leash manners, followed any commands and basically dictated our daily life due to their individual struggles prior to their rescues. Bo suffered from food insecurity, dog aggression and overall lack of manners. He demanded attention at all times and when he didnโ€™t receive it, he would do something mischievous to get it.
Snowbelle has been treated like an absolute princess since we adopted her from a local rescue. She lacked leash manners, obedience and patience. Everything was on her timeline.
Since attending board and train, we feel in control of our lives again. We finally have two dogs that obey commands, walk well on leashes, go out in public without trying to attack other dogs and thrive on routine.
Our family is so appreciative of Brittany and Derek. They put their heart and soul into training dogs and it absolutely shows. There were videos, photos and frequent check ins during our pets stay. There was literature provided on the process, what to expect after and how to ensure the dogs training lasts. I cannot recommend this program enough. We are forever indebted to this amazing husband/wife team.

We brought Sage our 10

We brought Sage our 10 month old lab pup to 2BK9 for the basic obedience training. Sage is the second dog Iโ€™ve had off leash obedience trained, the first by their competition, 12 years agoโ€ฆ. The trainer did an excellent job with Samson but the happy pup I gave them was turned into a robot, a totally different dog. His spirit was gone. Sadly, Samson passed on and we bought Sage from the same breeder. I wanted something different with Sage. So I decided to give 2BK9 a go to see if theyโ€™re different. And the difference between the two companies is night and day.

The Kennels are immaculately clean. No smell of dirty dog or of urine. I knew my pup wasnโ€™t going to be exposed to anything gross in here. I canโ€™t wait to go on vacation because my dog will definitely board here. I donโ€™t need to worry about her well being.
THey also have an outdoor kennel that is clean and has more room than the indoor kennel.

The training area is huge, lots of room for the dogs to run and play. The area is well secured so no one can run away. Iโ€™d assume itโ€™s about an acre of land set aside for this purpose.

When I dropped off Sage she was apprehensive as youโ€™d expect but the trainers had her out of her shell in no time. They sent me videos of my happy dog. I received many videos of progress throughout the stay. Every one I could tell my dog was happy healthy and loved. When I picked her up, even though she was happy to see me, she loved on the trainers; you can tell they loved her.

Now that sheโ€™s home with me, sheโ€™s the same goofy dog I dropped off but she listens. I can take her anywhere without worrying about being pulled down or her choking herself. Itโ€™s not all perfect- Weโ€™re still trying to work out a few things with my communication but thatโ€™s my fault not the dog or the trainer. The best thing is Brittany will answer all my stupid questions. She critiques my videos to tell me what Iโ€™m doing correctly or incorrectly and what to work on. I cannot recommend this place enough. Awesome job.

I can’t speak highly enough

I can’t speak highly enough about Brittany and her training program. She has now trained two of my Dobermans and I couldn’t be happier with the results! She loves them like her own and makes sure to keep you updated throughout the 4 week training with pictures and videos. The best part is even after training is complete, she continues to help in any way possible whether it’s phone calls/videos/texts with questions, or returning to her facility for a quick session to address any issues. You’re never left on your own to figure things out with your dog. You definitely “live a happier life with your dog” and have a lifelong friend with Brittany!

I first heard about 2BK9

I first heard about 2BK9 and Brittany through my breeder. As a long-time owner of Corgis, I know the breed can be somewhat stubborn. This little sassy girl took sassy to a new level. She had practically no leash manners and very food aggressive, but was super smart so I knew with proper training she could be a great dog. Wiley was the first Corgi Brittany has trained and she worked hard on her sassy attitude, food guarding and made leash walking a pleasure. She tailors the training to each individual dog, and at the end of of the month you bring home a more behaved and confident family member. I highly recommend her training program, well worth the investment.

We have boarded our Ridgeback, Zeke, on multiple occasions over the last few years. Everything was smooth, no problems, no complaints. She's an excellent trainer as well. Highly recommend!

Our experience with Brittany and 2BK9 exceeded our expectations. We sent our GSD Lexi to Brittany and the results were exactly what we were hoping for and more. The passion and dedication she has for what she does was so evident in what we experienced. She was great about keeping us up-to-date with pics and videos of Lexiโ€™s progress while she was there. She also spent so much time with us making sure we knew how to keep the training up when we brought Lexi home. It has been three months since she was in training with Brittany and we still have a smart, obedient, happy dog. :) We knew we had a nice smart dog that we loved but when we got Lexi home, we had an even better dog which made life on the farm so much easier. We have recommended Brittany and 2BK9 to Friends and family.

Before 2BK9 our Mabel was a handful. Running away, not listening, and we were overwhelmed with how to help her. I spoke to Brittany on the phone for over an hour about my concerns, and she was able to answer every single question I had and made me feel extremely comfortable. We boarded Mabel for a month for her to train her. Never was I left out in the dark, I knew exactly where she was in her training process from the constant photos and videos I received from her. We even had 2 separate videos to ensure we were implementing the training the way Mabel had learned it. After we took Mabel home we were full of questions, never once was she not quick to answer those for us. After 2 years she is still the first one I reach out to if I ever have a question or problem with my dog. She has given us a happier life, with Mabel being trained I never have to worry about how she will act in public, she now goes everywhere with us. Brittany has given us so much, and I cannot imagine life before her help, if you have a dog I HIGHLY AND ONLY recommend 2BK9. She is the best at what she does and my family and I are forever grateful!!! We have since left Mabel many times for boarding, and have never had to worry about a thing because I know my dog is in the best hands possible. She treats our fur babies with the upmost care. We love 2BK9 and will be forever customers, and friends!!!

I sent our 8 month old Shepadoodle puppy to B2K9, and I was thrilled with her basic training! In fact, I was so pleased that I sent our 18 month old mini Bernedoodle who was trained by another local company to her for a 2 week refresher! Brittany is firm, but loves the animals. They are not confused by her consistency, and they are well cared for while at her facility! I would highly recommend B2K9!

We work a lot with our dogs. But knowing the right commands and having the right tools and how to use the tools makes a difference in training an animal. My husband has done a great job training our pups . Brittany from 2bk9 did a outstanding job on training Mario( black dog). We have used what she taught Mario and used that with Copper. He is 6 months now and everyone cant believe how well he behaves and listens to his commands. If you ever need a Dog trainer Brittany from 2BK9 is the place to go. She boards the dog for a month and does the training for the month. Its not like all the other training places that they come to ur house for a hour or you go to a class for a hour.. This is a month of training. We call it bootcamp for dogs.

I cannot say enough good things about Brittany and 2BK9. My German Shepherd, Archer, is a graduate of their board and train program. 2BK9 is also our trusted place to board while on vacation. During Archer's stay, Brittany would send regular updates, pictures and videos. You could tell by the pictures and videos how much Archer was enjoying himself. Before Brittany's training, Archer would bark at certain dogs and people and would pull on the leash during walks. After graduation, Archer has been a perfect dog. He does not bark at anyone or any dogs now. He stays right next to me when we walk- he has a perfect heel. I also bring him with me to the gym, and stays in his "place" during the entire crossfit class until I release him from his command. He is the absolute best. It is nice because he is so well trained and obedient, but he can also still be a dog and have fun, snuggle, play and have fun. He is a working dog, and it is good that he is able to work and get that mental exercise, as well as the physical. I tell everyone about how great Brittany is, and I'm going to want any future dog I have to be trained by her.

We had our 7 month old Vizsla trained at 2BK9 by Brittany and could not be happier with the results. This is our second time using 2BK9 and they have become family. Brittany treated our dog like her own, continuously sent pictures and updates throughout the 4 week program. The communication has always been amazing before, during and after training. Brittany is super responsive to questions we have had since returning home and is always willing to help. We plan to return to 2BK9 to board our vizsla in upcoming months! I would absolutely recommend 2BK9 to anyone looking for training or boarding needs.

Iโ€™m so glad we found Brittany and her team. Itโ€™s so nerve wracking leaving a member of the family with someone new. Our dog loves his stays at the โ€œpuppy hotelโ€. He comes back happy and tired out. I am confident in their care of him and would recommend them if someone is looking for a place for their pup.

Brittany has trained both of my Dobermans and I cannot say enough good things about her and her program. She goes above and beyond to ensure your 4 legged baby gets the best care and training. The communication is consistent throughout the board/training program with pictures and video updates on the progress your dog is making. She continues to help you with your dog's training even after the 4 week program. She is always willing to assist and walk you through any difficulties or questions you may have with carrying over the training your dog received. Not to mention, if you ever go out of town and need boarding and she has trained your pup in the past, she brushes up on your dogs skills during their stay with no extra charge. The kennels/facility are top notch. I have never been one to board my dogs until I met Brittany. I know that they are in the best care and being loved on just as much as I love on them! You couldn't ask for a better trainer AND person for your pups!!
