CUSTOMIZED TRAINING PROGRAMS
All of our programs are custom-tailored based on your family's goals for your dog.
IN-HOME DOG TRAINING
Experience the benefits of in-home training, where you can learn alongside your dog to become their ultimate partner, trainer, and advocate. This personalized approach equips you with the skills to teach your dog essential abilities for thriving in our human-centric world, while fostering clear and effective communication that strengthens your bond. Training sessions take place in the comfort of your home and in various locations tailored to your specific goals, including hiking trails, residential neighborhoods, parks, and pet-friendly stores.
Board & Train
This option is ideal for clients with scheduling limitations or those residing at a distance. Training programs are tailored to meet the specific needs of both you and your dog. During the initial consultation, we will establish a customized training plan, including the duration and pricing. The program consists of four training sessions conducted at the client's home, along with access to a live video feed to observe the training process. Our objective is to ensure that every client remains engaged and connected throughout the entire training experience.
GROUP CLASSES
Group classes cater to individuals of all ages, fostering confidence and enhancing social interaction while navigating a collaborative environment filled with various distractions. In these sessions, participants will explore essential concepts such as animal theory, husbandry, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, extinction, and spontaneous recovery, among other important theories and practices.
IN-HOME EVALUATION
Evaluations play a vital role in our training process, enabling us to gather a comprehensive behavioral history and observe the dog's behavior directly. This step is mandatory for all new clients, as it allows us to develop a tailored training plan that aligns with your specific priorities and needs. By doing so, we can train effectively without redundantly covering skills the dog has already mastered. Training without an evaluation is akin to navigating without a map, which is detrimental both professionally and for the dog's well-being. It is essential to establish a solid foundation from the outset, as this approach benefits both our clients and their dogs significantly.

BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION
For individuals facing challenges with their dog's reactivity, we offer our assistance. Often, behaviors such as biting or lunging at people or other animals stem from fear. When dogs experience fear, they may react aggressively, posing a potential risk to those around them. It is crucial to address these behaviors with a knowledgeable professional who can manage the situation without exacerbating the dog's reactivity. This process requires time, consistency, and practice grounded in scientifically-based principles. Aversive methods should be avoided, as they can worsen the problem. We encourage you to contact us to explore the options available and how we can support you.

What a difference K9 Learning Academy made in the life of Teddy - and me!!! I highly recommend them. From the initial assessment to our training sessions it was clear the instructions and recommendations were geared specifically for my dog’s behavioral issues-it was not a cookie cutter approach.
