Meet Some ECK9 Dogs!
MACY LEE
Starting training right away has helped Macy Lee discover a life built around routine, clarity, and confidence. She is a bright, eager pup who continues to make meaningful progress with each lesson, showing steady improvement in her obedience and household manners. Watching her grow and thrive through training with her parents has been a joy and we are so happy to work with them! 1/2026
MURPHY
Murphy is training with ECK9 to build reliable obedience for everyday life while working through his resource guarding tendencies. He has made incredible progress with impulse control, especially around high value items and learning to leave household items alone that aren’t his. His mom and dad have shown what true commitment to training looks like, and their consistency and dedication are making a real difference for their rescue boy. 1/2026
TOBY
"Ciara is so knowledgeable and passionate about the training she does. She has given me and my dog the confidence to enter new situations and to behave and adjust accordingly. Ciara tailors the training to your goals and prioritizes building the owner-dog relationship. She is amazing!" - Cassie M. 1/2026
WYLER
“We can’t say enough good things about East Coast K9 and Ciara. Our dog Wyler had tons of energy and needed structure, and Ciara delivered exactly that. She transformed him into a calm, obedient, and well-mannered dog. The progress was impressive, and the training clearly builds confidence in both the dog and the owner. The results speak for themselves. Professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about the dogs she trains. Highly recommend.” - Dan H. 1/2026

GARY
Gary is training with ECK9 to build the solid obedience foundation he’ll need to not only support his hunting role but to become a reliable, well-mannered family companion. His goals include strong obedience, progressing toward full off-leash reliability, and gaining confidence with crate time and nail trims. 12/2025
HONEY
“Four months ago, we adopted a rescued dog. When walking her outside, we had no control over her whatsoever on a leash. Today, I am proud to say that our little girl, Honey, walks on the left side with no tension on the leash. She stops and turns without a verbal command. It’s actually enjoyable taking her for walks. Thank you, East Coast K9!” - James T. 11/2025
TITO
“We are so beyond happy we found Ciara! She is absolutely amazing with animals and really understands the way they communicate. She is patient, professional, and tailored every session to our specific needs with our bernedoodle. She helped us build confidence with positive reinforcement, making both us and our dog feel secure, safe, and happy. She taught us essential commands that have made our lives with a puppy much smoother. She is reliable, very reasonably priced, professional, and very easy to work with! We cannot recommend Ciara enough! If you are looking for a great dog trainer! She’s your girl! You will not regret it! ” - Kayla G. 11/2025
JOKO
“Ciara has been absolutely incredible with our almost 2-year-old Rottweiler, Joko. He’s super stubborn but also incredibly smart, and she understood him right away. Ciara has given us the tools, help, and support we need to work with him as he grows - in size and personality! Her patience and expertise have made such a difference for our family. We’re so grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable trainer. She even helped with his fear of nail trimming.” - Michelle H. 11/2025
RYKER
​"Ryker has had the luxury of being trained by Ciara since he was a pup. To say Ciara is a dog trainer would be doing her an injustice. Ciara lives and breathes dogs FULL STOP. Her love for dogs is admirable but the passion she brings to the process of training to bring any dog, at any level of behavior to the completeness of a well rounded companion is unmatched. She has the ability to customize a training program that is right for YOUR dog as there is no one size fits all approach here. I would highly recommend Ciara and eck9 for you dog training needs." - Nick A. 11/2025
