Complete K9 Training

Complete K9 Training offers a 12-day (or 13-night) home-based board-and-train program for dogs and puppies. Dogs live in the trainers’ home, learning obedience commands and good manners in a structured environment with daily playtime and distractions. The program covers commands such as Sit, Down, Stay, Come, Heel, Place, Break, and Boundary Control, along with house manners and solutions for specific behavioral concerns like barking, play biting, and potty training. Upon completion, owners receive a 2-3 hour private lesson to learn how to maintain the training, manage problem behaviors, and communicate effectively with their dog. Clients also receive a video of their dog performing commands, a comprehensive handbook, a prong training collar, and a doggie bath. The program includes free, unlimited follow-up lessons and support via phone, text, and email.

Complete K9 Training is a dog boarding school operating in a family home, offering a 12-day (or 13-night) board-and-train program for all breeds and ages. The program focuses on providing a highly structured learning environment where dogs learn obedience commands and good manners, addressing everyday problems like jumping, play biting, and getting into things.

After the dog’s stay, owners receive a 2-3 hour private lesson to learn how to be effective leaders, control problem behaviors, and maintain commands. The training emphasizes a balanced approach, combining affection and discipline, to ease owner frustrations and boost confidence in anxious or fearful dogs.

A key advantage is their free unlimited follow-up care, which includes free private lessons, phone, text, and email support without cost, limit, or expiration. The program is comprehensive, covering all commands, good manners, and behavioral modification in one go. Dogs receive a bath before pick-up, and owners are provided with a video of their dog performing commands, a comprehensive handbook, and a prong training collar.
