Project K9 offers three main training programs: Private Lessons (customized in-home or facility sessions with ongoing support), Board and Train (intensive 2-4 week program with daily obedience, play, nutrition assessment, and 2 months of follow-up day training), and Day Training (daily sessions while owners work). All programs include lifetime support via video, text, or email. A new Puppy Camp option (2025) focuses on basic obedience, crate/potty training, and socialization for young dogs. Programs are designed to involve the entire family and include training gear.

Project K9 is a professional dog training service based in Hurricane, Utah, serving St. George, Washington, and surrounding areas in Southern Utah. Founded by Heather, a certified dog trainer since 2012, the business offers personalized obedience training, behavior modification, and socialization to help families build healthy, happy relationships with their dogs. They specialize in board and train programs, private training lessons, and doggy daycare—all tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Their approach is relationship-focused and results-driven, using clear communication, consistency, and positive motivation without fear or force. They provide ongoing lifetime support via video, text, or email after training. Their facility is a home-based environment where dogs are treated like family, and they offer luxury boarding and day training to fit busy lifestyles. They work with puppies as young as 8 weeks and dogs of all ages, including those with severe reactivity, fearfulness, aggression, or separation anxiety.

Project K9 also provides doggie daycare and pet boarding services in a safe, clean, and playful setting, with daily updates, nail trims, and care for medications. They emphasize play-based training using games like tug, fetch, and hide-and-seek to reinforce learning and keep dogs engaged. Families are actively involved in training, and all programs include training gear and follow-up support.

Heather’s expertise includes helping dogs overcome leash pulling, barking, jumping, chewing, door bolting, and recall issues, turning unruly pets into well-behaved companions ready for family outings and public spaces.
