OUR ONLY MISSION

Developing foundations and strengthening bonds between dogs and their owners.

At our training division - K9 Army - our certified professional trainers are committed to providing you and your dog with the personal attention and education you need in order to reach all of your training goals.


We are not hobby trainers, our training staff works full-time to ensure that we offer flexibility to accommodate URGENT training needs for the more difficult dogs and we are available to answer your questions and schedule appointments that work best for  your life and family. 


Our training staff actively engages in educational programs and research to ensure we are maintaining a high level of program development, professionalism, safety and knowledge.


We understand that not every dog or family is alike; therefore, our trainers conduct a free Pre-Training Consultation to learn more about your goals and your dog's behaviors.  It is our mission to help every dog and owner gain an understanding and respect for each other using communication and obedience.  We don't just train dogs, - we train people too!




PRE-TRAINING CONSULTATION

You have many choices when it comes to training your dog.

In order to make that decision easier, we invite all dog owners to participate in a free, no obligation Pre-Training Consultation conducted by one of our Certified Professional Trainers. During your consult, we will gather information about your training goals and the behavior of your dog to determine which one of our training programs would best suite your needs. Our goal is to educate you and establish a program that will achieve great results for you and your dog!




Got pups?  We have a class for that!

Puppy Preschool

From the moment your puppy becomes part of your family, all of your interactions will begin shaping its behaviors and establishing patterns. During our Puppy Preschool class, we are going to introduce you to topics and techniques that can be used to help your puppy adapt during its most critical time in life.

Our Puppy Preschool program is designed to educate new puppy owners on the topics and challenges that come along with having a new member of the family. Let’s face it - puppies are a lot of work, but we want to help make your job as a new puppy parents much easier.

Although Puppy Preschool is a group setting, every puppy will receive lots of one on one attention and owners will have certified professional trainers at their disposal for questions and advise.


In order to participate in Puppy Preschool, your puppy must be:

8 – 20 weeks of age

In good health (We must see proof of a wellness exam conducted by a licensed veterinarian)

Up to date on all vaccinations (Distemper/Parvo and Bordetella)

  Group Obedience Classes


Group classes are an excellent way for dog owners to learn how to communicate with their dogs, train obedience commands and handle unwanted behaviors. Our small class sizes ensure that each owner and their dog(s) receive plenty of one-on-one attention from our certified professional trainers, allowing you to focus directly on your goals and how to enhance your dog’s development.


Group classes do require a significant time commitment and patience from the owner, but can be very rewarding, especially as you begin to see the changes in your dog’s behaviors and focus. This is a great option for owner’s who have the desire to learn the methods behind training or for dog owners looking for the most economical training option.


Note: Dogs struggling with any form of aggression or reactivity will not be suitable candidates for a group class.

  Residency Training


By far our most popular option, the Residency program is designed to accommodate dog owners who lack the time or skills needed to train their dogs.  


This program is a highly effective way of generating

quick results, modifying behavioral issues, and setting the foundation for off-leash handling. While in residency, our Certified Professional Trainers will participate in several training workouts each day with your dog, adapting each one to accommodate its successes and challenges. Once your dog’s stay is complete, we will transfer their leash into your hands using a series of private lessons designed to educate you on what your dog knows and how you can begin to establish a new set of expectations or limits within your home.

 

Residency Programs vary in length based on the needs and behaviors of your dog. These programs are exceptionally beneficial for hyper dogs, extremely shy or fearful dogs, dogs requiring behavioral modification, and dogs entering into a specialty training program.

       

  Advanced Group Class &                                  Certification Training


Available to dogs and owners that have an excellent obedience foundation, our Advanced Group Classes introduce high levels of distraction and difficulty. Geared toward simulating “real life” experiences, dogs and owners will begin their transition into off-leash obedience.

For those owners looking for your dog to earn the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen certification, we can help you out! We provide training classes to help you and your dog prepare for the CGC test as well as evaluation services for those not wanting to participate in a group class. For more information, call our training office at (937)843-4776.
