A training consultation is required for all boarding clients who are not current K9 805 clients, as well as for Board & Train programs, Day Training services (The Foundation + Field Program), and Pack Project Days.

This consultation allows us to evaluate your dog’s behavior, training history, and overall needs to ensure our programs are the right fit and to create a safe, effective training plan. Consultations may include observation, handling, and discussion of goals.

Our Foundational Obedience Program is designed to give dogs a strong, reliable training base while building confidence, clarity, and real-world manners. This immersive program focuses on essential obedience skills such as leash manners, recall, place, sit, down, impulse control, and neutrality around distractions. Training is customized to each dog and emphasizes consistency, clear communication, and relationship-based learning that carries over into everyday life.

Length of Stay: Typically 2–4 weeks, depending on the dog’s needs, age, and prior training
Investment: Programs start at $3,000

We believe training should not be a luxury. Our goal is to provide high-quality, ethical training while supporting and giving back to our community. We’re committed to helping dogs and their owners succeed with practical skills that improve daily life; not just obedience in a controlled setting.

Our Behavior Modification Board & Train Program is an intensive, customized training experience designed for dogs who need help working through deeper behavioral challenges. This program is ideal for dogs struggling with fear-based behaviors, leash reactivity, reactivity toward dogs or people, anxiety, lack of impulse control, or difficulty navigating the world calmly and confidently.

Dogs in this program receive daily, structured training focused on emotional regulation, confidence-building, and clear communication, not just obedience. We prioritize understanding why a behavior is happening and address the root cause through proven behavior modification techniques, thoughtful exposure, and consistency. Training is intentionally generalized across environments to help dogs learn how to remain neutral and responsive in real-life situations, not just in a controlled setting.

This program is not a quick fix. True behavior change takes time, patience, and skilled guidance, which is why each dog’s plan is tailored specifically to their needs and progress.

Length of Stay: Typically 4–8 weeks, depending on the severity of behaviors and the dog’s learning pace
Investment: Programs start at $4,500

We believe professional training should not be a luxury. Our mission is to provide high-quality, ethical behavior modification while supporting dogs and owners within our community. This program is designed to create lasting change, improve quality of life, and help dogs successfully integrate into the world with confidence and clarity.

Our Private Training Lessons are one-on-one sessions designed for owners who want hands-on guidance and are able to consistently practice with their dog between lessons. These sessions are fully customized to your dog’s needs and your lifestyle, whether you’re working on foundational obedience, leash manners, reactivity, confidence building, or real-world skills.

Private lessons are ideal for individuals who enjoy being actively involved in their dog’s training and can dedicate time to reinforcing skills at home. While we understand life can be busy and one-on-one training isn’t always possible for everyone, this option is a great fit for those who can commit to consistency and follow-through. With the right structure and support, private lessons can produce powerful, lasting results.
