K9 805 PROGRAMS
BOARD & TRAIN
Ideal for busy owners and dogs who would benefit from a complete behavior re-set. Your dog will live with us while they learn in an environment that sets them up for success. Dogs get multiple training sessions and socialization every single day, which builds fast results. Includes the all important teaching for so you can maintain results at home.
PRIVATE LESSONS
If you're looking for personalized coaching as you're training your dog, this is for you! Custom training plans, focused on the unique needs of you and your dog, ensure you get the most out your time spent training your dog. Lessons happen wherever you are having struggles, whether in your home or out and about with your dog.
PUPPY TRAINING
The first year shapes everything that follows. Our puppy program is built around the two developmental windows that matter most: early puppyhood and adolescence. This is our passion and our specialty, setting up young dogs for a lifetime of harmonious companionship with their lucky families.
PACK PROJECT
This isn't daycare, and it isn't just a hike, it's the best of both with great behavior conditioning built in. Pack Project is a small, professionally guided pack experience for dogs ready to put their training to work in the real world — think luxury dog gym meets outdoor adventure.
GROUP CLASSES
Our group classes are designed for teams ready to take their training to the next level. Targeted toward strengthening obedience while building reliability, neutrality, and confidence in real-world environments with higher levels of distraction, all in a supportive, structured group environment.
CONCIERGE BOARDING
At K9 805, boarding is designed to feel safe, calm, and personal, never chaotic or overwhelming. Dogs are cared for inside our home, not in a warehouse or outdoor kennel setting, where we can provide personalized, high-end care, and ensure their comfort and safety.

TESTIMONIALS
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
"Maddie is amazing"
"Maddie, the trainer, is amazing with dogs. She is knowledgeable and caring. She has a full understanding of dog behavior. She enjoys working with dogs at their individual level and building their confidence. I fully trust her with my dogs health and safety. I love watching dogs learn and grow under her care and training. And watching the amazing things she does with her personal dogs is the icing on the cake. Thanks Maddie for all the amazing work you do with dogs, and for always making sure the dogs are having fun while learning and growing!"
- Elizabeth K
"Such a blessing"
"Madelyn has been such a blessing for me and my pup. She’s had so much patience and flexibility as we work through some difficult fearfulness with my girl. She’s super knowledgeable, kind and I love that she not only trains other peoples dogs but has accomplished some pretty amazing things with her own dogs. We’re not out of the woods yet but with Madelyn’s help through private lessons and group classes we’ve made great progress. Can’t wait for what’s to come!🩷 thanks so much Maddie"
- Sarah V
"Thank you for helping us"
I cannot say enough great things about Madelyn. She helped me find the perfect companion, Missy, a German Shorthaired Pointer rescued from a local shelter. From day one, Madelyn followed through with incredible support and training guidance.
I couldn’t be happier with how far Missy has come. She now has solid recall and retrieves birds with ease. The amount of knowledge Madelyn has, along with her passion and genuine care for the animals is truly priceless.
Thank you for helping us become the perfect team
