Wilhelm K9 Services

Wilhelm K9 Services offers comprehensive training programs designed to address various needs. Their Board & Train programs range from 1 to 6 weeks, with longer durations providing more extensive education. Each week of Board & Train includes one free in-home follow-up session to ensure training retention. These programs are highly recommended for dogs with reactivity, aggression, and anxiety. During Board & Train, dogs stay indoors in heated/air-conditioned kennels, interacting only with staff for their safety.

For specific behavioral issues, 1:1 Training sessions are available, ideal for addressing one or two behaviors like excessive barking, counter surfing, leash pulling, or jumping on guests. Clients are expected to practice with their dogs between lessons. For more severe reactivity or aggression, the Board & Train program is suggested for expert handling.

They also provide a Puppy Raising service, offered on a month-to-month basis, which includes crate and potty training. Additionally, standard boarding and enhanced boarding services are available, with enhanced boarding incorporating daily training, field trips, playtime, and hikes.
