Proven K9 Training DFW

Proven K9 Training offers two main program types: private lessons and board & train. Private lessons are 5-week packages with one command taught per week (sit, down, stay, come, heel), requiring home practice. Board & train programs are intensive, lasting 2, 3, or 4 weeks, teaching commands like sit, down, stay, leave it, crate training, door manners, and heeling. Dogs are socialized in real-world environments and receive daily structured walks. Owners receive weekly email updates with photos and videos, attend weekly in-person training sessions during the program, and complete a 3–4 hour final class upon pickup to learn how to maintain training. E-collar training is available as an add-on for off-leash recall. Lifetime support is included for all board & train clients.
