Advanced K-Nine Training is a veteran-owned dog training business founded by Mike Dooley, who has trained over 5,000 dogs in the Cincinnati, OH and Clearwater, FL areas. Mike holds a background in pre-veterinary medicine and is the first student to certify as a Certified Pet Trainer through Top Tier K9. The business specializes in building a stronger bond between dogs and their owners through structured, results-driven training programs. Services include Basic and Advanced Obedience, Puppy Training, Service Dog Training, and Protection Dog Training, with programs ranging from 5 to 12 days and including follow-up private lessons. Training focuses on commands like heel, sit, down, come, leave it, and free, with an emphasis on real-world behavior modification for issues like leash reactivity, jumping, fearfulness, and recall. Mike’s approach combines professional expertise with a deep understanding of canine psychology to help dogs become confident, well-mannered companions.

The business offers intensive board-and-train programs, with clients receiving hands-on instruction to continue training at home. Advanced K-Nine Training also sells dog training supplies through its online store, supporting ongoing reinforcement of learned behaviors. Their success is reflected in numerous testimonials from owners whose dogs have transformed from aggressive, fearful, or unmanageable to calm, obedient, and family-friendly.
