Our Services

At King K9 Academy, we offer a wide range of professional dog training programs designed to address the unique needs of your dog, your lifestyle, and your goals. Our services include:

1. Board and Train: This comprehensive program is designed to help your dog master essential obedience commands and address specific behavioral issues. We offer two board and train options: Premier Obedience and Critical Skills. Our Premier Obedience program covers advanced commands, while our Critical Skills program focuses on eliminating minor residual behaviors from puppyhood.

2. Puppy Primer (Age 3-6 Months): This program is tailored for young puppies to establish fundamental concepts and obedience behaviors through play training and feeding approaches. This method helps establish behavior patterning, a solid work ethic, and clear communication between you and your puppy.

3. Private Lessons: Our private lessons are perfect for dog owners who prefer one-on-one training sessions. We assess your dog's unique issues, such as stubbornness, fear, insecurity, inattention, or reactivity, and develop a customized training plan to address these challenges.
