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.

Testimonials

I took my adopted sheepdog named Bear for behavioral training. Sammie was Bears trainer and she was wonderful. Her communication with me over the 10 weeks Bear was there made me feel that Bear was with family. Now that Bear is home, he is doing great and keeping up with the training that Sammie taught me is still working well. I can’t thank Sammie and Proven K9 for there excellent service they provide. I would recommend them and have.

We adopted Charlie from the Dallas shelter… We did the three week board and train plan… He is a very different dog… Sammie was great in keeping us informed… I would highly recommend making the investment.
