Armor K9 offers tailored programs including Board & Train (intensive residential training), Private Lessons (in-home or facility-based), and Obedience Classes. Protection training follows a structured progression from Paige (foundation obedience + bite development) to Squire and Armor levels. Puppy training begins as soon as the dog comes home, with emphasis on structure, confidence, and early socialization. Service dog training supports veterans with PTSD, and sport training prepares dogs for scent work and bite competitions. All programs include owner education and ongoing support.

Testimonials

Lee has been an incredibly valuable trainer to work with – I cannot recommend him enough! I got my Belgian Malinois “Titan” from a rescue as a baby, and after a couple of weeks I knew I needed help. We did the puppy and obedience board and train program, Lee kept me up to date on his progress throughout, and I got my boy back with unbelievable improvements. He learned so much from Lee in such a short time, it’s honestly incredible. Since then, his continued check-ins and support while puppy is home has been extremely helpful in maintaining expectations at home. Titan walks beautifully on leash, responds very well to basic commands, has manners, and he’s becoming so much more confident in himself- that alone is huge for such a nervy dog. When out, people continuously compliment how much he’s improved all around. I will continue building off the foundation Lee has set, and I’m so grateful we have such a strong foundation to do so.
It was well worth the money and commitment to work with Lee, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for training for their pup! Thank you Lee!

Sending our Brooklyn to Armor K9 was undeniably the best decision we made.. Lee is on point with his training techniques and you can still see the compassion in him when working with her.. tough love… she went to him an unruly one year old puppy and came back a controlled puppy who had not lost her personality…. At home she is still that funny fun loving crazy puppy, who listens immediately when corrected and is on point when on her lead and we are outside in public… Thank you so much Lee!

I recently sent my 4 month old Bernedoodle puppy, Buck, through the Board and Train program at Armor K9, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. While Buck is not a working or protection dog, Lee’s training approach is truly tailored to all dogs–and that was exactly what Buck and I needed. When Buck came home, the transformation in his behavior and responsiveness was clear. He now has a solid foundation of obedience, structure, and discipline–all thanks to Lee’s exceptional training methods. The program didn’t just focus on teaching Buck–it equipped me, the owner, with the tools and knowledge I need to maintain and build on that progress. As Lee says, training doesn’t end when your dog comes home; it’s a lifelong commitment.
What I appreciated most is that Armor K9 doesn’t offer cookie-cutter training. Everything is customized, and Lee took Buck’s personality, energy, and learning style into account. The structure and consistency Buck experienced during his stay was exactly what he needed, and now that he’s back home, I see a calmer, more focused, and well-mannered pup.
If you’re looking for a balanced, professional, and effective training program that empowers both you and your dog, I wholeheartedly recommend Armor K9.
