We can’t wait to work with Keon K9 again! It was our first time boarding our dog so we were a little nervous but Chrystal calmed all of our worries. The property is perfect for dogs and they are so well taken care of. Chrystal sent updates, pictures, and movies every day our dog was there. There is so much outdoor time and socialization; my dog is currently snoring next to me after I picked her up earlier today. They also offer training so we are excited to try that next.
Definitely recommend! Stress-free, safe, enjoyable experience

I honestly can’t thank Chrystal enough for what she has done for my two German Shepherds! Both of them were super high-energy and anxious, and I was feeling completely overwhelmed. After leaving them with her for the week of my wedding, they’ve turned into calm, confident, and well-behaved dogs—it still amazes me every day.
What I love most is how much she truly cares. She treats every dog like they’re her own, with so much kindness and patience. You can just tell she loves what she does. She didn’t just train my dogs—she taught me how to be a better dog owner, how to change my habits, and how to build a stronger bond with them.
It’s such a relief to have someone so knowledgeable and compassionate guiding both the dogs and the humans. I’m so grateful for her and can’t recommend her enough!
What started as a dog trainer quickly became so much more—Chrystal at Keon K9 truly turned into family. From day one, the support went far beyond training commands. They took the time to understand our dog and us, offering patience, encouragement, and constant reassurance when things felt overwhelming. Every question was answered, every setback met with calm guidance, and every win celebrated like it mattered—because to them, it did. The consistency, care, and genuine love they showed created real, lasting change, not just in our dog’s behavior but in our confidence as owners. We never felt alone in the process, and that kind of support is priceless. If you’re looking for someone who is deeply invested, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly has your family’s best interests at heart, this is the trainer you want for life.

I've never boarded my pup before (actively avoided it) but had no choice when I needed to go out of town. A friend recommended Keon K9 and she is just as wary of leaving her dogs. Chrystal and Ashley are dog-whispering geniuses, my dog is the type that is excited to go to doggy daycare but still looks back as if he's wondering why I'm not going too. When I handed his leash to Chrystal, he trotted over and walked away without a second glance! Between my friend vetting Keon K9 and my dog's immediate trust, it put me at ease leaving him behind for a week. While I was gone, I received daily photos and updates and in all of them I could see my pup was having a great time. Because I opted for the training while boarding, when I picked him up we went over what he learned and how to reinforce it/keep it going. My excitable and strong puller was now a way better-behaved boy on the leash. Chrystal and Ashley taught me how to lead my dog so that he follows and taught me how my behavior and habits influenced his behavior (so basically we both got training lol).
Highly recommend Keon K9 to anyone looking for training and/or boarding for their dogs. Thanks Keon K9 team for being a trustworthy and loving place for pups, it's helped me feel better knowing I have a place to care for my dog if I can't take him with me.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Keon K9! We sent our sassy, headstrong 11-month-old goldendoodle puppy for a two-week training program, and the transformation has been absolutely incredible.
Our pup came home not only with impressive new skills and obedience training, but also happy, confident, and so proud to show off everything she learned! The amount of progress she made in just two weeks exceeded all our expectations. She already is calmer and keeps her mouth off our pre-school age kiddo (life changing in its own); and she barks less and stops on command.
It is clear that the trainers at Keon K9 genuinely care about the dogs in their care. The training was effective yet positive - our girl was excited and engaged, never stressed or fearful. And she even got practice in public (https://www.facebook.com/share/r/17iSEyS2j9/?mibextid=wwXIfr) The Keon K9 team knows how to make training both fun and effective.
Crystal also takes plenty of time to teach the whole family how to keep up with the training. She is so generous with recommendations and tips and tricks to make sure we continue to make progress. We are already planning to board the pup when we travel next so she can learn even more!
If you’re looking for a dog trainer who will treat your pup like family while delivering real, lasting results, I cannot recommend Keon K9 highly enough. Worth every penny and then some!
