Testimonials

“I worked with the owner/trainer (Brigette) for a few months of pup training but I wasn’t feeling too excited about results. The training was not personalized at all… My pup did not timely respond to any command she gave. I feel my dog walked in with more control with me, then when leaving on a leash with Brigette… I feel my dog was worse upon coming home… the entire expensive process… was just a huge waste of time and my money.”
– Client

“Northern Nevada’s premier bitesport/advanced obedience facility focused on protection dog sports to AKC events and everything in between… Battle Born is sure to have a training option that is best for you.”

About the Trainer

Battle Born Performance K9 is a professional dog training facility located in Sparks, NV, specializing in advanced obedience, protection dog sports, and personal protection training for dogs. They offer tailored programs for families, executives, and sport competitors seeking highly skilled, reliable guard dogs that remain loving companions. Their services include private lessons, group classes, day training, and intensive board-and-train programs ranging from 30 days to 18 months. They focus on bite sports, PSA (Protection Sport Association), and competition obedience, using a performance-driven philosophy that captures a dog’s natural drive for safe, controlled training. The facility provides world-class training grounds and accommodates international clients. They also breed and sell high-pedigree Hollandse Herders as PSA and protection prospects, with puppies and adult dogs available for purchase or raise-and-train programs.

They emphasize structured, high-intensity training with an emphasis on precision, control, and real-world security scenarios. Their trainers work with dogs of all ages, from puppies to adults, and offer follow-up lessons after board-and-train programs to ensure owner success. Equipment such as e-collars, training tabs, and pinch collars are used, particularly in advanced programs.

While they offer training for family protection and basic obedience foundations, their core expertise lies in protection sports and working dog development, not general pet obedience or therapy services.

Accomplishments
