Reliable K9 Solutions offers two main types of training programs: Board and Train and 1-on-1 lessons.

The Board and Train program is a comprehensive 3 to 6-week intensive program designed for dogs with serious behavioral issues or for owners with demanding schedules. Dogs in this program receive multiple focused training sessions daily, learning essential basic commands such as sit, down, stay, come, heel, and place. The program also covers doorway manners, crate manners, and advanced off-leash obedience, with training reinforced in both the facility and real-world environments like public restaurants, parks, and shopping centers. It addresses unwanted behaviors including jumping, rushing doorways, counter surfing, resource guarding, and leash pulling. The program aims to help dogs cope with stress, fear, and anxiety, building confidence in both the dog and the owner. All Board and Train packages include necessary equipment and unlimited follow-up support.

One-on-one lessons are designed for owners who want to learn effective dog training techniques. Each session lasts approximately 60 minutes, guiding owners on how to train their dog throughout the week. This category includes two specific programs:

The Puppy Starter Program is ideal for new puppy owners, focusing on teaching essential commands like sit, down, come, and heel, as well as explaining critical do’s and don’ts of potty and crate training. It also aims to build puppy engagement and encourage cooperation between owner and puppy.

The On/Off Leash Obedience program consists of 8 one-hour lesson sessions for puppies aged 5 months and older. This program teaches reliable basic obedience commands such as sit, down, stay, place, and heel, proofing them for distance, duration, and distractions. It also addresses off-leash recall and proper heel work, ensuring consistent responses in high-distraction environments. This package includes a remote collar and a place cot.
