KNINE

KNINE offers a variety of training programs tailored to different needs. Basic Obedience is a private, personalized program covering essential behaviors like Sit, Down, Stay, Loose-Leash Walking, Recall, Focus Around Distractions, Polite Greetings, Impulse Control, and Manners. Sessions are 60 minutes, in-person (in-home or at KNINE’s training field), with ongoing support.

Advanced Obedience is designed for dogs who have completed basic training, focusing on mastering skills in high-distraction environments, including Off-Leash Recall, Long-Distance Stays, Precision Heeling, Focus Under High Distraction, Emergency Stops, Real-Life Situational Training, and Proofing Commands. These are 60-minute sessions with varying locations, custom homework, and check-ins.

Agility Training is an obstacle-based sport for high-energy dogs, covering introductions to jumps, tunnels, contacts, safe handling techniques, building speed and accuracy, handler cues, obstacle sequencing, impulse control, and body awareness. Sessions are 60 minutes, in-person, and tailored to the dog’s pace.

Behavior Modification addresses challenging behaviors such as leash reactivity, aggression, resource guarding, separation anxiety, excessive barking, destructive behavior, and fear-based responses. This program focuses on identifying triggers, rewriting patterns, and creating new emotional responses. Sessions are 60 minutes, in-person (at home, in the neighborhood, or controlled public spaces), and include a detailed behavioral evaluation, homework plans, and ongoing support.

In Kennel Training is an immersive program where dogs stay at KNINE for 2-6 weeks, receiving daily one-on-one training sessions, structured routines, real-world practice, exposure to distractions, behavior shaping, socialization, and desensitization. This program can be customized by combining it with any other KNINE service. It includes a go-home transition session and ongoing support.

Protection Training focuses on obedience under pressure, calm confidence, and clear thinking in high-stress situations. It covers advanced obedience under distraction, handler control, drive building, targeting and engagement, bite work and release on command, scenario-based defensive drills, and decoy conditioning. Temperament testing is required before enrollment. Sessions are custom-tailored, combining private sessions, fieldwork, and decoy training.

Puppy Training is for puppies 8 weeks to 5 months, designed to set a strong foundation. It covers crate training, potty success, preventing biting and chewing, name recognition, focus, socialization strategies, foundational obedience (Sit, Stay, Come, Leave It), confidence building, calmness, and creating a daily puppy routine. Sessions are 60 minutes, in-home or outdoor, tailored to the puppy’s developmental stage, and include weekly homework, resources, and lifetime access to tips and support.

Scent Detection services utilize highly trained dogs and expert handlers to identify hidden threats, pests, and contraband, such as bed bugs, explosives, and drugs, providing thorough, precise, and reliable searches for various environments.
