K9 Manners & More

At K9 Manners & More, our passion is empowering dogs and their humans to thrive together. We are a team of dedicated professionals, many of whom hold prestigious certifications, with a shared commitment to positive reinforcement training methods. We believe in building strong, trusting bonds between dogs and their owners through encouragement, patience, and understanding. Our holistic approach recognizes that each dog is unique and requires individualized attention to flourish. Whether you're seeking foundational obedience training, enriching activity classes, or specialized assistance for behavioral challenges, we are here to guide you every step of the way.

Our Training Philosophy

We firmly believe that learning should be a joyful experience for both dogs and their owners. Our positive reinforcement training methods focus on rewarding desired behaviors, fostering a sense of cooperation and confidence in your dog. We avoid harsh corrections or punishment, understanding that these methods can damage the bond between dog and owner and lead to long-term behavioral issues.

Through clear communication, positive reinforcement, and tailored training plans, we help dogs understand expectations and develop essential skills while enjoying the learning process.

Obedience Training for All Ages

We offer comprehensive obedience training programs designed for puppies and adult dogs of all breeds and backgrounds. Our group obedience classes provide a structured learning environment where dogs can socialize, develop essential manners, and learn foundational commands such as sit, stay, come, down, and heel. We tailor our class sizes to ensure every dog receives personalized attention and guidance from our experienced trainers.

Enriching Activity Classes

Beyond basic obedience, we offer a variety of fun and stimulating activity classes to keep your dog engaged both mentally and physically. These classes provide opportunities for your dog to explore their natural instincts, build confidence, and learn new skills while strengthening the bond with you.

Our activity classes include:

• Agility: A dynamic and challenging sport that involves navigating an obstacle course, testing your dog's agility, speed, and problem-solving abilities.

• Scent Work: Tap into your dog's incredible sense of smell! Our scent work classes teach dogs to locate hidden scents, providing a great mental workout and an opportunity for bonding.
• Dock Diving: Witness your dog's joyous leaps as they launch themselves into a pool of water, retrieving toys off the dock. We offer dock diving lessons for dogs of all sizes and swimming abilities.

Specialized Services for Individual Needs

We understand that every dog is unique and may face specific challenges. We offer:

• Day Training Program: Our structured day training program provides your dog with personalized attention and training throughout the day in a safe and stimulating environment.
• Private Lessons: If you prefer one-on-one instruction, our private lessons allow you and your dog to receive customized training tailored to your individual needs and goals.

• Behavior Consultations: For dogs experiencing behavioral issues such as aggression, anxiety, fears, or phobias, we offer in-depth consultations to identify the root cause of the problem and develop a tailored behavioral modification plan.
