STAT K9 Training is a dog training business led by Tina Benson, a registered nurse and passionate dog trainer, offering in-home private lessons and board-and-train programs to address a wide range of behavioral issues. They specialize in using e-collars and prong collars to achieve fast, lasting results for problems like aggression, leash reactivity, resource guarding, separation anxiety, and jumping. Their board-and-train programs include daily training sessions, socialization, crate training, and structured walks, with clients receiving daily video updates, two in-person go-home lessons, and lifetime access to a private Facebook group for support. They also offer phone and Skype consultations for remote clients and provide structured boarding for dogs already trained by them. Their methods emphasize leadership, state-of-mind work, and immediate behavior correction using professional-grade equipment. They serve clients in Chester County, PA, including Collegeville and Chestersprings, and offer monthly pack walks for ongoing community training.

Tina’s personal experience with overwhelming puppy behavior led her to develop a hands-on, results-driven approach focused on empowering owners with the tools to maintain long-term success. All training tools, including e-collars and Herm Sprenger prong collars, are included in program fees, and clients receive a hands-on introduction to the equipment to understand the sensation their dog experiences.

They emphasize immediate results for serious behavior problems and provide free phone consultations to assess needs before committing to a program.
