Regional K-9 offers Residency Programs, Private Lessons, and a Refresh Program. Residency Programs are intensive, holistic board-and-train programs where dogs stay at the trainer’s home for 5, 10, 15, or 20 days. These programs focus on behavior modification, impulse control, real-world experience, and obedience, including commands like HEEL, SIT, DOWN, STAY, COME, and Place Command. They come with a training collar, leash, follow-up lessons, behavioral advice, video critiques, and support.
Private Lessons provide one-on-one training to teach owners how to train their dog for obedience and manage unwanted behaviors, tailored to individual needs. The Refresh Program is a tune-up option for dogs that have previously completed a residency program.
