Chivon is a great trainer. She cares about the dogs and the owners. She is a very honest person. You can't go wrong training your dog with Chevon's help. She helped me with my dog when she was living in Washington state. If she was still here I would be working with her on the new dog I now have.

Chivon is a loving professional who cares a great deal about her clients and their pets. Meticulous in her craft, she strives to innovate and ensure mutual respect and adoration between owner and dog. I believe she’s an exceptional trainer and would recommend her services to anyone.

Chivon is an amazing trainer. We adopted a dog in May and she ended up having pretty serious food aggression, among other things. We had a dog in the house already and we weren’t Sure if we would be able to keep our new dog due to the danger she posed to our original dog. I went to Chivon so terrified to love our new addition for fear we would have to give her back. With Chivon’s help, we worked for months to help our new dog. We saw differences in a matter of hours after our first session. After seeing our two dogs she even offered to train both because she realized, with all of her experience, that the problem could not be solved without the whole family being involved. She always had sheets she filled out and was available by call, text, and email. I cannot recommend her enough. It is truly because of her that we were able to keep our babies happy and safe.

Chivon is great! She has worked with my staff at our animal boarding and day care facility, provided seminars and conducted training with some of our clients' pets right on site! She is professional, knowledgeable and has such a terrific attitude about working with pets and people. My staff and I have sincerely enjoyed working with her on improving our awareness and handling of dog behavior and look forward to more projects. Thank you Chivon!

The owner of this company is absolutely amazing! She took my 150 lb cane corso and turned him into a whole new dog. I didn’t think it was possible. She has put so much time and effort in with not only my dog, but with me too. I HIGHLY recommend her to ANYONE that needs their dog trained. She is very warming and welcoming. She will teach you how to turn your no no bad dog into a dog that won’t move when you drop food on the floor. Or you know those dogs that get SO excited to go outside they’re running you over before you have one foot out the door? Ya, mine too. But guess what... it’s fixed. We did her three week program at her shop and trust me, I would do it all over again if it meant that I could spend another amazing three weeks with her. Thank you for all you did for us and my Niko boy!

We rescued a wonderful dog a year ago and began training with him via an online course. It was a good start but it wasn't until we began working with Chivon @ C3 that we gained an understanding of our dog's needs in training, body language & proper communication to achieve that goals that we had. She is amazing & I recommend her to everyone!

Chivon is one of the hardest working dog trainers I've ever met. She continually studies the latest in dog training about what is best for the dogs, and has a way of connecting easily with both people and dogs. She is a fabulous choice to be your family dog trainer.

We had an amazing experience with Chivon training our Grover. He graduated from his day train program as a completely new dog fully trained in basic obedience on and off leash in addition to his behavior being modified where needed. Chivon went above and beyond for Grover’s success. Her prices are more than reasonable and we continue to go back for maintenance with her. I am so glad we found C3 K9 Solutions! I will continue to recommend her to those in need of training because she is truly committed to the success of her clients and their families! Thank you, Chivon!

There are not enough good things I can say about this business and Chivon! I would 125% recommend this business to anyone who wants or needs training for their dog. She has helped us so so much with training our dog, she is patient, kind, and actually cares about the work she does. The quality of service you get from her is out of this world🌎💜 I make mistakes in our lessons and she never makes you feel like what your doing is wrong, instead guides you to the correct method. I am so comfortable working with her, and when our sessions are over we will miss seeing her. My puppy gets excited as soon as we pull into the parking lot! 🐶 She has done so much to accommodate us, payment plans, rescheduling on short notice, phone calls if we have questions are always welcome at any time. Like I said there isn’t enough good things that I can say... Chivon is absolutely wonderful and I couldn’t imagine how lost we would be without her guidance. Thank you Chivon and C3K9 Solutions for helping not only me, but maple as well, overcome the behavioral issues we had when we first met. We’re so thankful to have found you!

Chivon worked with our overly excited Bernese Mountain Dog. During the crash course she gave us many techniques and strategies, along with a folder of information. We were able to go home and immediately start to implement what we were taught. We started to see changes right away. Prior to meeting with Chivon, we knew we had a trainable dog, but didn't have the skills or strategies (until Chivon trained us!).Our dog went on to attend Chivon's Day Train Program. Every day Chivon would take the time to talk with us at drop off and pick up, to make sure everything went well the night before with our HW and make sure we were shown the new skills Willow learned that day. Chivon would give us a feedback form at the end of each day, telling us how Willow did and what she worked on, along with our HW for the night. It is important to realize Chivon is amazing at what she does, but if you aren't going to take the time to consistently implement what she teaches your dog then YOU aren't doing your job.Chivon also offers group classes where your dog can work through socializing with other dogs and humans. It gives you the chance to implement what your dog and you have learned from Chivon, as well as learn new techniques/skills.Chivon was and still is always available by text, phone, etc... if we have any questions. I am especially thankful for Chivon for helping to create a closer bond between my dog and myself. We now spend more time enjoying the company of our dog, rather than being frustrated with her crazy behavior. We HIGHLY recommend C3K9 Solutions!

My husband & I rescued a Belgium Malinois and have been working with Ms.Chivon for a year and a half now. Can't begin to put into words what an incredible trainer she is and how much we value her service and as an individual. I recommend her to everyone that I speak with about dogs and the need for them to be trained and socialized properly! She is amazing!

Went there for a crash course and our dog was already showing signs of improvement. I originally went to get help with loose leash walking, which he was already picking up on in less than an hour. Not only did the woman help with the loose leash walking but she also taught me more about my dogs behavior and showed me how to react and correct my dog. I have had this dog for 2 years and I have never seen him act more obedient in my life. The lady is very nice and helpful for everything. This is a highly recommended place for anyone looking to train there dogs.

We sent our 21 month old GSD to C3-K9 Solutions for a 6 week Board and Train program in Dec. The purpose - to build confidence, overcome social anxiety and in a nut shell bring out the best in our pup. She is a changed girl. After six weeks she passed her Canine Good Citizen qualification!What you can expect when working with Chivon at C3-K9 Solutions: Chivon will take time to listen to and hear your concerns, she will evaluate your pup and provide her professional recommendations based on her assessment, she will help you set goals and customize a training program to help you and your pup reach those goals, she will be honest with you about expectations and will coach you how best to implement the training at home and offer support as needed. Chivon knows her stuff!!!Make the investment ...you won't regret it!

Love Chivon, she is an awesome trainer!!! We are currently taking both of our Berners and the changes in their behavior is amazing. We wished we had known about her soonerMoney well spent, highly recommend her.

I noticed an improvement with my dogs behavior starting right away! I know training isn't an instant process but I could already see changes being made in the right direction. Chivon was very friendly and knowledgeable. I didn't feel "attacked" as a dog owner for the behaviors my dog was displaying. She helped us both make changes so we can get the results we were looking for.

Over the past 45 years of owning dogs I have engaged the services of many so called dog trainers. Chiv on is, without a doubt, the most professional, knowledgeable trainer I have ever worked with. Not only was she able to spot the weaknesses in my handling skills , show me what I was doing wrong but she explained clearly why what I was doing wasn’t working. She has taken my Kaden and me well beyond the basic sit, down, stay of basic obedience. Anyone posting these negative reviews obviously has never spent any time working with her. She is the hardest working trainer I have ever had the privilege of knowing and working with

Went for the one-on-one beginning consultation with Chivon. It lasted the entire two hours as she stated it would on the phone. She listened to all concerns and quietly watched the interactions between myself and my dog. By the time the initial conversation was finished, Chivon nailed on the head EXACTLY what areas would be beneficial to work on first. She gave concrete hands-on examples that she then had me practice. I also received a care package to take home to read through and to give me reminders for when she wasn't around to help. She let me leave with no pressure whatsoever to continue training with her. I went home and worked with my dog, following her instructions. My relationship with my dog has changed--for the better. I have become more patient and my dog has become more confident. I can not wait to continue my training with Chivon. She is highly recommended! --Courtney Spraker

Chivon has been working with me and my dog for several months now. Her guidance and training has been invaluable! I have a rescue that I love to pieces (I knew he was going to be a challenge when I rescued him) but he came with some baggage. He was a two time return, and when I got him he was 15 months old, had been mistreated, and had some bad habits. Chivon has helped my pup be more relaxed around men, be more comfortable in new situations, and to look to me for what is expected behavior. He now goes to his place in the living room when the doorbell rings instead of barking like he wants to kill the delivery man. He is wonderful on and off leash. I have total recall even when he sees a deer or a rabbit and is off leash. I am so glad that I came to C3 and Chivon, they are the best, and have my highest recommendation. Munch, my sweet rescue, would agree wholeheartedly! A+, 5-stars. These guys are great!!

Chivon and Sabrina are wonderful! Very knowledgeable and extremely patient in training me and my puppy! We are learning so much and just knowing that they are there for us in between our training sessions is so comforting and very helpful! We look forward to our time with them every week!

We really loved the training program our dog Zoey went through, as well as the owner of C3 K9 Solutions, Chivon Winters! All of our friends, family, and the daycare notice the difference and have said "she's like a completely different dog". We would recommend this place to anyone, from basic obedience to advanced agility/tricks.Zoey went through a 3 week e-collar program that addressed Zoey's intensity when getting over excited in certain situations, mostly around other dogs. Zoey is a rescue and just wants to meet and play with everyone, but she never developed the social manners to do it correctly.We wanted Zoey to attend doggy daycare on days we have long evening plans, but her intensity made the staff nervous. Chivon gave us an evaluation at the daycare, watching Zoey and seeing how she reacted to other dogs. She immediately recognized bad behaviour based on her body language, pointed it out to us, and used methods that snapped Zoey out of it on the spot.Her pitch was that she can teach Zoey to react to the stimulation based e-collar the same as leash guidance, so I and anyone at daycare can easily correct Zoey when she got too intense. The results have been remarkable and training was far reaching. Just learning rules and obedience improved her home life in just about everything. We're so happy Zoey went through the training, it is worth so entirely much more than it's cost. We are very happy and proud of Zoey; we cannot thank Chivon enough!We highly recommend Chivon's services.
