Alliance K9 Training Academy is a dog training business founded by Taylor George, a professional trainer with 7 years of experience specializing in board and train programs, behavior modification, and off-leash obedience. Their signature service is the Board & Train program, where dogs stay in the trainer’s home (not a commercial kennel) for 2–4 weeks and receive personalized training with daily monitoring, GPS tracking, and structured progress updates. Owners receive a 2–3 hour hands-on transition session upon pickup, followed by three follow-up sessions within 90 days, plus lifetime training support. They offer two main board & train options: On-Leash (2–3 weeks, $2,800) for home and yard control, and Off-Leash (3–4 weeks, $3,750) for reliable freedom in public areas like hiking trails and parks. They also provide Puppy Training, Therapy Dog Training, and Behavior Modification for issues like reactivity, jumping, chewing, and separation anxiety. They sell Inukshuk Professional Dog Food to clients and have dogs available for adoption. Their training method emphasizes ethical e-collar use, consistency, and owner education to ensure long-term success.

Taylor’s personal journey with a feral husky led her to master ethical e-collar training, which she now uses to help even the most stubborn breeds achieve off-leash reliability. All dogs must be up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives. Training is conducted in a home-based facility with a maximum of 3 dogs at a time to ensure individual attention.

They also offer a Working Dog Club (Bites For Christ) and focus on building strong owner-dog communication through real-world generalization of skills.
