Services

K9 University offers a variety of private and group training services. Private dog training sessions are ideal for dog owners whose: work schedules do not fit group class times, who prefer one-on-one instruction at a training facility or in the privacy of their own home, who want to work on specific in-home dog manners and behaviors, who have a dog that is fearful or aggressive, who may not be comfortable in a group setting and/or who want undivided, focused attention from a dog trainer for an extended period.

Meanwhile, group training offers dog owners an array of class types with added socialization. Group classes are currently being held at Club K9 at the Ranch.
