K9 Journey Dog Training is a personalized, in-home dog training service led by owner/trainer Debbie V., who helps dog owners build stronger bonds with their pets through customized training for obedience, manners, behavior, and socialization. Debbie provides one-on-one sessions at the client’s home or local parks, ensuring training fits seamlessly into the owner’s lifestyle. She works with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments—from new puppies to senior dogs—and emphasizes understanding each dog’s unique personality to create effective, enjoyable outcomes. In addition to training, K9 Journey offers dog walking services at $35 per hour. Debbie’s approach is grounded in years of hands-on experience from volunteering thousands of hours at an animal shelter, which deepened her understanding of canine behavior and needs. Her training philosophy focuses on fulfillment, positive reinforcement, and building trust, helping dogs become well-behaved, confident companions.

The business also offers educational blog content on dog enrichment, natural drives, and responsible pet ownership, empowering owners with knowledge to support their dogs’ long-term well-being. No breed or age restrictions apply, and all services are tailored to the individual dog and family dynamic.
