At K-9 Companions Dog Training, we know that different breeds and temperaments require various styles of training. We gently handle the smallest of breeds, and firmly handle the large, dominant and aggressive breeds as well. Our methods are based on positive motivation and positive reinforcement. We do not believe in any form of abuse or shock.

In our dog training methods, we use the principals of operant conditioning and extinction of unwanted behaviors through confinement conditioning and instinctual corrections. We have tried and true methods to teach your dog how to live in your house or yard without being destructive. We believe every dog should be trained to five basic obedience commands at a minimum: Heel, Sit, Stay, Come, and Down.

This opens up basic communication between dog and owner, and allows for a much better relationship between the two. Training starts as early as four months of age and off leash obedience can be accomplished from 9 months and beyond.

At K-9 Companions, we offer three different styles of training to suit your needs:

On field lessons ( you come to us weekly)

In home lessons ( we come to you weekly)

Boot Camp ( leave your dog at our facility for our staff to train, followed by both field and in home lessons for you) This is our most popular course!
