Cornerstone K9 #2

Cornerstone K9 offers a comprehensive range of dog training programs including Private Lessons, Puppy Board & Train, Adult Board & Train, Behavior Modification, and Sport Dog Training. Private lessons are conducted in the client’s home, focusing on essential commands like Sit, Down, Come, Place, and Heel, along with minor behavior modification and leash control. These lessons are tailored to the dog’s breed, age, and skill level, with all necessary equipment provided.

Board & Train programs involve the dog staying at the trainer’s home for an intensive period, typically 2-6 weeks, depending on the program. These programs cover comprehensive on-leash and off-leash obedience, leash manners, public training through field trips, and behavior modification. Puppy Board & Train focuses on fundamental obedience, control, environmental neutrality, potty training, and socialization. Adult Board & Train aims to establish a strong foundation in obedience, control, focus, and environmental neutrality. Behavior Modification programs are 4-6 week board and train programs specifically designed to address aggression, fearfulness, excessive barking, destructive chewing, and separation anxiety using scientifically-proven methods. Sport Dog Training is structured into Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, designed for dogs competing or aspiring to compete in dog sports, focusing on refining skills for competitive success. All Board & Train programs include video/picture updates, pick-up/drop-off services, and a detailed “Go Home Lesson” for owners.

How to Get Started!

To begin the training process, clients can schedule a free consultation by calling, sending an email, or filling out an interest form on the website. During the consultation, the trainer will discuss the dog’s needs, behavior patterns, and specific goals. After tailoring a training plan, clients can book their training sessions using flexible scheduling options. The training journey then begins with skilled trainers guiding both the dog and owner using positive reinforcement techniques.
