Why Anvil K9 Over a National Franchise?

A number of the dogs I work with each year are retrains. Their owners tried a chain program first. They did not get the lasting results they paid for. Here is what is structurally different about Anvil K9.

Same trainer, every session

National Chains
Different trainer this week than next. Quality varies. A new hire could be working with your dog.
Anvil K9
Jake works with every dog, every day, from intake through pickup. The trainer your dog meets on day one is the trainer your dog will have at year five.

Lifetime support, no expiration

National Chains
Support window typically caps at 30 days to one year. After that, pay per session or per "tune-up".
Anvil K9
Lifetime support is included with every program. No time limit. No upcharge. If a behavior slips in year three, Jake comes back. Free.

Owner accountability

National Chains
Issues escalate to regional managers or 1-800 lines. The original trainer may have left.
Anvil K9
Jake is the owner. Jake is the trainer. Jake is the person who answers your call. One person responsible from start to finish.

Veteran-led, NePoPo Gold Certified

National Chains
Trainers complete a corporate certification. Same generic program for every dog at every location.
Anvil K9
US military veteran. NePoPo Gold Certified, one of the most rigorous balanced-training credentials available. AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator. Methodology adapted to the dog in front of you.

Proof in the retrains

National Chains
Franchise contracts end. Behaviors that come back become a paid retrain.
Anvil K9
A number of the dogs I work with each year came from another program first. Their owners did not get the results that lasted. They came to Anvil K9 to fix it.
