K9 Team Training is a family-owned dog training and boarding facility located in Germantown, NY, serving the greater Hudson Valley. Founded by Samantha Lehan in 2009, the business offers private lessons, group agility classes, board-and-train programs, and overnight pet boarding. Samantha is a graduate of Triple Crown Academy in Texas and has over 12 years of experience training dogs, including competing at national and world championship levels. The facility features a 30×50 indoor training hall with rubber matting, wall mirrors, and full agility equipment, including jumps, weave poles, teeter-totters, and tunnels. They also provide dog grooming services and rent out their training space for private use. Their training focuses on achieving reliable off-leash control, addressing unwanted behaviors like jumping, chewing, and leash pulling, and building strong owner-dog communication without relying solely on treats or leashes.

K9 Team Training offers two intensive board-and-train programs: the 10-night “Amazing Dog Camp” for basic on-leash obedience and the 21-night “Dream Dog Camp” for advanced off-leash commands and behavior modification. They also provide group agility classes at multiple skill levels and private in-home or facility-based lessons. Their boarding program includes supervised off-leash play, private sleeping cabins, daily naps, and continuous care with soft music and human interaction to ensure a stress-free experience.

Clients praise Samantha for her expertise, clear communication, and ability to work with anxious, reactive, and high-energy dogs. Many report dramatic improvements in recall, leash manners, and overall behavior after completing training programs. The facility supports ongoing training with unlimited email and phone support, and in-person follow-up sessions.
