Dog Training Methodology

K9 Summit Academy offers several specialized training programs. The “Adventure Dog” program focuses on off-leash recall, aiming to build trust for activities like camping and hiking, ensuring dogs come when called regardless of distractions.

The “Home School” program is designed for busy owners, where Margaret trains the dog daily (Monday-Friday) at the client’s home, even when the owner is not present. This program covers basic obedience, leash walking, and specific behavioral issues, concluding each week with a lesson for the owner and weekend homework. It provides the benefits of a board and train program within the dog’s familiar environment, with continuous owner involvement.

“Private in home Lessons” are customized to individual dog and owner needs, with Margaret teaching owners how to train their dogs in their own homes. Each lesson lasts 60-90 minutes and is scheduled approximately one week apart, with programs typically ranging from four to ten lessons.

The “Puppy Prodigy” program is designed for puppies, offering safe and structured socialization field trips alongside private lessons. This program addresses common puppy challenges like potty and crate training, stopping play biting and jumping, and teaching basic obedience and socialization techniques. It can also include pre-puppy assistance like puppy selection and house-proofing. All programs include free access to unlimited group classes, lifetime virtual support, and access to dog boarding at the trainer’s home.

Testimonials

“Margaret helped us with off leash training for our 2 year old dog and we had a great experience. Prior to training, our dog struggled with listening & staying calm in public spaces where there were lots of distractions. We’re now able to take her off leash camping, hiking, or to a brewery and feel relaxed knowing that she is listening to us and is calm. We frequently get complimented on how well behaved our dog is in public. We would highly recommend Margaret!”
– Keith & Nahka

“Our little Boba has been working with Margaret since he was 3 months old (he is now 8 months), starting with her Puppy Prodigy program and then her Home School program, and he is a better dog because of it. She has been so thoughtful with her training with Boba, making sure it aligns with our goals for him. She helped us work through the early months as first-time dog owners and really listened and offered support when we needed help or just someone to talk to (because raising a puppy is really difficult!). Margaret truly cares about the dogs she trains and the families she works with and I cannot say enough about how wonderful she is. Boba LOVES her so much and is always so excited to see her.”
– Virginia & Boba

“Margaret changed my dog’s life. Reese is a rescue and was very anxious and was starting to get territorial. She also randomly lunged at people, trucks and other dogs while out on walks. She is so much calmer now and Margaret gave her some self-confidence she never possessed before. I highly recommend K-9 and Margaret!!”
– Lisa & Reece
