Joint Forces K9 Group

Joint Forces K9 Group offers a variety of training programs tailored to individual needs. The Board and Train Program involves daily training at their facility, typically lasting 2 to 4 weeks, focusing on commands like Sit, Down, Heel, Climb/Place, Come, and Free. This program includes one private training session with the owner per two weeks of training, plus a follow-up lesson after the dog returns home.

The Drop Off Dog Training program offers the same curriculum as the Board and Train but allows owners to take their dogs home each evening. Private Lessons are designed for owners who want to be actively involved in training their dog, offering customized one-hour sessions. Off-Site Private Training provides the same personalized lessons at the client’s specified location.

For aggressive dog training, they employ a balanced approach to address issues such as human aggression, leash reactivity, dog-to-dog aggression, food/resource guarding, separation anxiety, and severe fear issues. Most aggression cases require a minimum of a 4-week board and train program. Protection dog training includes preparation for sports like PSA and IPO, as well as personal protection training, with an evaluation required to determine a dog’s suitability. Service dog training is individually catered to the client’s disability and schedule, helping to train their own dog for specific tasks, including for autism, mobility, hearing, psychiatric support, emotional support, and therapy.
