Trident K9 Consulting

Trident K9 Consulting offers two main pet obedience programs: board-and-train (1, 3, or 4 weeks) and in-home training (5, 7, or 9 sessions). Board-and-train includes comprehensive command training (sit, come, stay, down, loose leash walking, greeting manners, distraction training), with a final owner session. In-home training is customized to the home environment and progresses from basic commands to advanced manners and distraction resistance. Training is conducted by certified police K9 handlers using structured, real-world methods.

Pricing Summary

Board and train programs range from $1,850 for 1 week to $5,500 for 4 weeks. In-home training packages are $1,150 for 5 sessions, $1,475 for 7 sessions, and $1,850 for 9 sessions. Pricing reflects customized, intensive training with professional trainers.

Trident K9 Consulting is a professional dog training business founded in 2016 by Police Sergeant Marty Mahon, offering both pet obedience training and specialized K9 services for law enforcement. For dog owners, they provide private, in-home, and board-and-train programs designed to improve basic obedience, address behavioral issues like aggression, shyness, and hyperactivity, and build reliable recall, leash walking, and manners. Their pet obedience programs include customized 1-, 3-, or 4-week board-and-train options, as well as 5-, 7-, or 9-session in-home training packages tailored to each dog’s needs and environment. Trainers are experienced police K9 handlers with certifications from POST and CNCA, bringing real-world discipline and structure to pet training. They train all breeds and ages, from puppies to seniors, and emphasize consistent, practical skills that work in everyday life.

Their unique advantage lies in the trainers’ extensive law enforcement background, ensuring high standards of discipline, reliability, and behavior modification. While primarily focused on police K9 services, their pet obedience program is directly informed by professional K9 training methodologies, offering dog owners access to elite-level training techniques typically reserved for working dogs.

Founder Marty Mahon has been a police officer since 1999 and a K9 handler since 2001. He is a certified certifier with POST and CNCA.

Trainers teach at national K9 conferences and train over 20 K9 teams monthly for local agencies.
