Serenity K9

Serenity K9 offers two main program formats: intensive board-and-train camps and day school programs. Camp programs are immersive, 24/7 training experiences lasting 7–12 days for foundational programs and up to 6 weeks for behavior rehabilitation. Dogs are trained with a balanced pack, receive custom videos, collars, and manuals, and return home with established habits before owners are coached. Day School runs 1–3 days per week with home practice between sessions, ending in a one-on-one review. All programs include lifetime support and access to client events.

Pricing Summary

Programs are priced by type and duration: Puppy Camp ($1,375), Foundational Dog Camp ($1,875), Advanced Dog Camp ($2,200), and Behavior Rehabilitation Camp ($2,500–$5,500). Day School options include Puppy Day School ($610), Foundational Day School ($905), and Advanced Day School ($1,290).

Serenity K9 is a dog training and behavior rehabilitation business located just outside North Macon, Georgia, owned and operated by dog behavior specialist Lauren Albert. They offer intensive board-and-train programs, day school training, and lifetime support for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Their programs focus on building trust and communication between dogs and owners through balanced training methods, using tools like prong collars and e-collars for clear, gentle guidance. Serenity K9 specializes in correcting serious behavior issues such as aggression, fear, anxiety, leash reactivity, resource guarding, and separation anxiety, often helping clients who have tried other trainers without success. In addition to training, they provide boarding, daycare, client events, pack walks, and access to adoptable dogs through rescue partnerships.

Their training is results-driven and goal-based, not time-based, ensuring each dog learns at its own pace. Clients receive custom instructional videos, training manuals, collars, and ongoing support for the dog’s lifetime. The facility uses a balanced pack of dogs to model appropriate behavior and provide real-world socialization and distraction training.

Lauren Albert has over a decade of hands-on experience working with rescue dogs and behavior cases, starting after successfully rehabilitating her own pit bull mix. She volunteers with rescues and trains difficult cases that others can’t place, making Serenity K9 a trusted resource for complex behavioral challenges in the Southeast.
