Werk Honden K9 Training

Werk Honden K9 Training offers various programs, with courses starting the first week of every month unless there’s a major holiday. Class schedules are posted on their social media.

Their AKC classes include AKC STAR Puppy, Urban CGC, and AKC Trick Dog, which are quick training sessions that include the test. They also offer a case-by-case AKC Therapy Dog program, which requires an assessment and varies in training time, with final certification needing to be done at another AKC-approved facility. AKC classes and testing will not be offered after June 2025.

Basic Obedience is a 4-week course, once a week for 55 minutes, covering commands like sit, stay, loose leash walking, and addressing behavior modifications such as jumping, potty training, or puppy nipping. Intermediate & Advanced classes are also 4-week courses, once a week for 45 minutes, focusing on precision, distance, and distraction, with classes held off-site at parks or stores after the first session. A $10 assessment fee applies if basic obedience was not taken with them.

They provide Problem Solving as single 1-hour or 30-minute classes to address specific issues like fearfulness, chewing, or food aggression. A Trick class is available, approximately 45 minutes long, based on AKC curriculum. Puppy Play Time is offered 1-2 times a month for socialization of puppies aged 3-6 months (up to 9 months for small breeds).

Group classes are limited to a maximum of 3 dogs, except for distraction classes which allow up to 6 dogs. Private (1-on-1) classes are also available.
