How to Get Started!

To begin training with Precision K9 Work, clients are encouraged to set up a free evaluation. This initial evaluation allows the trainer to meet the dog, assess its temperament and personality, and discuss the owner’s goals and expectations. Based on this assessment, the trainers provide recommendations for the most suitable training course of action. While an evaluation is not always mandatory, it is recommended for most dogs. For protection training specifically, a protection evaluation is required and costs $50.
