K-9 Kountry

butch was great with my dog. the area was clean and well keep. now after a quick board and train i have a perfect dog. thanks again check this place out they offer everything.

Mr Cappel helped me take my dog from what I thought was hot on obedience and protection to a new kind of dog that performs on command without hesitation and flawless. In April of this year Mr Cappel’s tutelage lead myself and my dog Otto to our first K9 Pro Sports trial and our first win in the training devision. Thank you Mr Cappel

Where do I even start? My dog was presented to me with weight loss so bad I could see the veins in his face (when I brought him home he was STARVING), his shedding was so bad I could see fur falling off while he made any movement, he was also so depressed it took him almost two weeks to get back to normal, and he didn’t learn anything! I was shown basic comands my dog already knew and when I asked the owner about the goals I asked to be set he didn’t even remember talking to me about them!!! I will never get over the fact that I sent my dog here for two weeks.

scam… should be shut down for dog abuse/neglect…wasn’t trained at all… SCAM

I hate to post bad review because I really liked Mr. Cappel. He seemed interested in helping me with my difficult dog but after sending my American Bulldog, TuRBo, for his two week training I feel like I threw my cash into the wind. Not only did it take him over a week to even get TuRBo out of the kennel but when I picked him up, my poor dog was depressed & INFESTED with TICKS! Do not send your dog there until you look at the kennel yourself & get something in writing. Actually, just go to Man’s Best Friend. I wish I had.

Yes, one star, I noticed K9 Kounty was hired 34 times through Thumbtack but only has 10 reviews. Are the 10 reviews from friends, family and/​or coworkers? Did the other 24 not have the heart to leave an honest review because it was as bad an experience as mine? I waited a week to see if my feelings would change before posting this review, if anything they got stronger. I am posting this because I do have a heart and want other dog lovers to be aware of the circumstances before they hire and leave a loved one with this establishment.
I can’t stress enough to someone thinking about hiring K9K to do a site visit and interview before hiring!!! If I had done this, I would have went with someone else.
My dog was trained before leaving him, the basics sit, stay, and lay. I had a small list I provided to Butch to expand my dogs training (none of which got worked on).
When we picked up our dog, my mind was blown and not in a good way. Not only did my dog not learn anything new, I was shown what my dog already knew before we dropped him. Butch showed us that he could sit WHILE BUTCH HELD/​FEED HIM A HIGH SODIUM HOTDOG SLICE, our dog could lay WHILE BUTCH HELD/​FEED HIM A HIGH SODIUM HOTDOG SLICE, BUTCH showed us our dog could stay, WHILE BUTCH HELD/​FEED HIM A HIGH SODIUM HOTDOG SLICE. Labs will do pretty much anything with food present.
I was told if he jumps to step on his hind leg.
Oh and the DVD was not ready and when I asked I was flimed a short 2 MIN video while I was there, ONLY to be handed a blank CD in the end.
Butch seemed more interested in the new potential people dropping off a new pup then he did with us being satisfied while we were picking up…
To TOP IT ALL OFF when we got home we found 4 ticks on our house dog, I’m thankful my dog has short hair otherwise I may not have found all 4. I almost hate to say it too, but I’m kinda glad we got our dog back so filthy otherwise I wouldn’t have groomed/​bathed him so quickly and wouldn’t have found any before they bit in.
I truly feel I got scammed, and pretty sure our pooch, just got boarding in filth without any training.
Other Dogs do not have shot records (At least while my dog was there they were unable to be provided) Big Red Flag!
If this review helps just one person, it will be worth it. Buyer Beware.

I was in a long search for a dog trainer that had ample experience with German Shepherds, as everywhere I looked, it was more of a cookie cutter/​group training class where I could not get the results or experience for training this breed that I was looking for. I finally came across Butch through a reference from the DFWGSR, and after having several phone conversations with him, I made a decision that I was going to take my 7 month old German Shepherd with him for a 2 week board and train. His knowledge on GSD’s and other working breeds is impressive and the results are great. He does a great job in getting your dog to where you can take over and continue the work at home with much less effort. I can honestly say that this is the best dog trainer that I have come across. The results you get speak for his years of experience and love for dogs. I definitely recommend Butch and his team if you want impressive results, service and the type of experience you get after training dogs for all type of service work for over 30 years.

Excellent! My dogs are well loved and cared for when they stay at K-​9 Kountry!
My dogs always come home happy and healthy. They eat well and keep weight on, something they haven’t done when I used to board them at other places. If my dogs are eating they are happy and they always eat well and come home happy from K-​9 Kountry!
The owners are very nice and always take excellent care of my dogs! I am very happy with their service and will continue to board my dogs here.

Beware! I had a dog I rescued from Fort Worth taken here while I waited for his transport out of state. I communicated very clearly what I needed to Butch, the owner. Butch promised several things, including having my dogs stitches removed and giving the dog the very expensive medicine I had sent for him. Butch told me the stitches were removed-​yet he still had them when he got here 10 days later. The expensive medicine was never given to the dog and was not sent with the dog as it should have been. Butch Cappel lied to me several times and finally-​he overcharged my credit card for an extra week of boarding and refused to credit my card when I requested it. He is an unethical owner who will tell you he will take care of things and then lie about it by saying it is taken care of when he never did it. I would never entrust another animal to his care. His business should be shut down.
