Victory K-9 Training is a reputable dog training facility established in 1990, specializing in obedience, behavior modification, service dog training, protection dogs, police and narcotics detection canines, agility, and competition training. They work with all dog sizes—from 2-pound pets to 120-pound working dogs—and are known for taking on cases other trainers refuse, including extreme shyness, aggression, and resource guarding. Their training method emphasizes leadership, partnership, and humane techniques: no shock collars, no striking, and no food-based training. Instead, they use praise and simple leash/verbal corrections. Jennifer Pickett, the primary trainer, has over 30 years of experience and is recognized as a “dog whisperer” for her success with tough working dogs and rescue cases. They offer in-home training in Palm Coast, FL, and also operate from a private facility. Clients appreciate her empathy, deep understanding of canine psychology, and long-term results, with many dogs retaining training for over 15 years.

They provide customized programs for families, law enforcement, and individuals needing service or protection dogs. All protection dogs are imported from Europe, undergo thorough veterinary screening, and include handler training. They also support dog rescue and educate owners on spaying/neutering and responsible ownership.

Victory K-9 Training is committed to building lasting partnerships between dogs and their handlers through respectful, knowledgeable leadership and a deep commitment to the dog’s well-being.
