We contacted Take Me To K9 and trainer Vitalii a long time ago with our corgi Loki for a basic obedience course. The results have honestly stayed with us ever since. Loki used to react badly to the mop and vacuum every single time I cleaned the house. Now, when I simply tell him "wait," he calmly stays in place and waits. It still feels unbelievable to see that level of control and calm behavior. Thank you, Vitalii. Highly recommend Take Me To K9 to anyone looking for real results.

Excellent training service. I work with Vitalii for about 6 months on behavioral training for my Redbone. The dog was territorial and aggressive towards strangers. After 4 months, 2 sessions a week, we started seeing significant changes in how my dog behaved. Strongly recommend Vitalii!

We reached out to Vitalii for obedience training and behavior correction for our Beagle puppy Bucks, and we are very happy we found him. Before training Bucks was very stubborn, distracted, pulling on leash, not listening outside. After working with Vitalii we already see a huge difference in behavior and focus. He really understands dogs and knows how to work with different behaviors. He explains everything simply and actually cares about results. Prices are very reasonable. Definitely recommend!

Entrusting your dog to a stranger can be a major concern. Vitalii exceeded all our expectations, and we now feel completely at ease entrusting our dog to him. We started with training sessions, during which our young dog acquired the skills for proper behavior. Later, the question arose of who would look after our dog while we were away on vacation. We had previously had an unfortunate experience with a dog sitter, but Vitalii helped us resolve this issue as well. We left our dog with him and his family with complete peace of mind. It truly seemed as though our dog went on vacation, too! He socialized and spent time with other dogs, as well as with Vitalii's daughter — whom our dog absolutely adores. We highly recommend Vitalii as a reliable individual to whom you can safely entrust your beloved pet.

We worked with Vitaliy for about 4.5 months on basic obedience training for our dog, and we are very happy with the results. Our dog learned all the essential commands and became much more responsive and manageable in everyday situations. One of our biggest concerns was his aggressive behavior toward other dogs and sometimes toward people passing by. While we're still working on it and the process isn't completely finished, the improvement has been remarkable. Thanks to Vitaliy's guidance, patience, and training methods, our dog is much calmer and better behaved than before. We have also used his boarding services several times, both for day stays and overnight stays. Our dog was always well cared for and came home happy and relaxed. The facilities are clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed for the dogs' well-being. Vitaliy is knowledgeable, professional, and clearly passionate about what he does. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled dog trainer or a trustworthy place to leave their dog.

We started working together in February. We have a challenging puppy — very sensitive, highly excitable, and emotional. For a long time, I felt like I was doing something wrong and that many of our struggles were the result of my mistakes. But Vitaliy helped me understand that it wasn't me — it was her temperament. That's simply who she is, and she needs a more thoughtful and individualized approach. What I value most is that the work isn't focused only on correcting behavior, but on understanding the dog's emotional state and helping both the dog and owner succeed. Recently, for the first time, I saw my usually very crazy puppy calmly walking among people and other dogs — and I caught myself thinking, "Wait… is this actually my dog right now?" 😄 It was such a warm and almost unfamiliar feeling. That was the moment I realized we were moving in the right direction and, for the first time in a long while, I felt that little spark of hope. Thank you for your support, patience, and for helping me feel that our not-so-easy girl truly has a very bright future ahead of her.
