Divinity K9 is a professional dog training business based in Hanover, Michigan, founded by Jake and Jess, both certified NePoPo® Gold Instructors and graduates of the prestigious NePoPo® Gold dog training school. They offer personalized training solutions ranging from private 1-on-1 lessons to intensive board-and-train programs for puppies as young as 8 weeks and adult dogs of any age. Their balanced training methodology combines positive reinforcement (R+) with negative reinforcement (R-) and minimal positive punishment (P+) to achieve reliable, long-lasting behavior change efficiently. They specialize in pet obedience, behavior rehabilitation, service dog foundations, personal protection, agility, and sport work, and help resolve issues like reactivity, aggression, resource guarding, separation anxiety, leash pulling, jumping, and barking. They also provide day training, boarding, and follow-up sessions to ensure continued progress. Their clients receive regular photo and text updates during board-and-train programs, along with hands-on transition sessions to teach owners how to maintain training at home.

They emphasize building a happy, obedient dog through clear communication and structured training, using tools like e-collars at low levels as part of a balanced approach. Their facility-based training environment supports both basic and advanced skill development, and they tailor programs to individual dog and owner needs, including high-drive working dogs and families with children.

Divinity K9 is AKC-approved for Canine Good Citizen and S.T.A.R. Puppy evaluations, and their team is known for compassionate, thorough, and results-driven training with strong client support.
