K9 Functional Training is a professional dog training business based in Virginia Beach, led by trainer Jason, who specializes in behavior modification and obedience training for dogs of all sizes and backgrounds. They offer immersive board-and-train programs, in-person sessions, and ongoing support to help owners build confidence in their dogs’ behavior. Their approach focuses on functional training that prioritizes impulse control and real-world obedience, helping dogs overcome reactivity, leash pulling, fear, anxiety, aggression, and resource guarding. They emphasize personalized training plans, daily video updates during boarding, and hands-on owner education to ensure long-term success. The business also provides specialized training for service dogs, therapy dogs, and dogs for disabled veterans, and supports rescue dogs with behavioral challenges. Training is conducted at their facility, and they maintain strong post-training follow-up to ensure clients can sustain progress at home.

They use balanced training methods that combine positive reinforcement with necessary corrections, tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. Their clients report dramatic improvements in their dogs’ behavior, including off-leash obedience, calmness in public spaces, and reliable recall—even with large or high-energy breeds. Jason is known for his patience, communication, and dedication to both dogs and their owners.

In addition to training, they offer free consultations and continue to support clients after training completion, helping them integrate new skills into daily life.
