Programs include weekly structured sessions with owner involvement, and ongoing support via video updates and follow-ups. Board and train programs last 2–4 weeks, with trainers working closely with owners to transition skills home. Training covers basic obedience, leash walking, impulse control, socialization, and advanced commands like off-leash recall.

Testimonials

“I found Glass City K9 on Facebook, contacted David and within 48 hours we had our first consultation. Less than a week later we had our first lesson. By the third lesson (out of six), Phoebe was already a different dog. She was walking well on a leash, responding to commands, and holding a place around other distractions. We finished all the lessons and I couldn’t be happier with the dog she is now… I would highly recommend Glass City K9!”
– ELIZABETH SZYMANSKI

“Training with Glass City K9 has been the best investment that we have made in our lives and in our dog… We’ve seen him blossom. He has self-confidence and has become a lot braver in new situations because he trusts us. I have become a more confident dog owner as well… I give all credit to this program.”
– Anonymous Client

“I chose the ‘Silver Plan.’ Essentially, the trainers train us, the owners, to train our own dogs… I LISTENED TO WHAT THE TRAINER SAID AND I DID EXACTLY THAT… I believe that I have gotten more value out of this training than my pup has.”
– Marybeth Courtney
