We loved Idaho K9 Academy for our 10 month old lab. Robert and his staff are very knowledgeable and they have given us and our dog the tools for success for dog obedience.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Which training plan is more effective?
Both training plans are very effective; it all just depends on how involved in the training you would like to be. Private training you’re involved in the entire training process and day training we take care of most of the training process for you. Then at pick up we will show you what we have done.

What training methods do you use?
We are balanced trainers so we use all four quadrants of Operant Conditioning (positive reinforcement, positive punishment, negative reinforcement, and negative punishment.) and Classical Conditioning (a process that involves creating an association between a naturally existing stimulus and a previously neutral one). We start with the least invasive methods and only go more invasive as needed and with owner approval.

I took my golden retriever to Robert and have never seen her so content and well behaved! Robert truly cared about her and took his time to make her life better, there has been no fights/food aggression/pulling on the lease/jumping up! Olive LOVES Robert and does everything he asks her to do! I'm so thankful for finding Robert/Idaho k9 academy, truly a life savor! I'll definitely be starting Olive in advanced training with Robert!
We want to give a huge thank you to Allison and her patient training of our 2 -year-old Labradoodle, Olive, and 8-month-old Shih Tzu, Momo. Both of our recently adopted furry companion have different issues and Allison did a great job targeting the training for each of them. We highly recommend Idaho K9 Academy.
Our Bernese Mtn. Dog Po is a friendly, exuberant boy that doesn't know he is very BIG and STRONG. Robert did a great job teaching him to not pull us over or jump up to give "hugs" to everyone. And, more importantly he taught us what we need to do to help Po remember his manners and commands. Definitely recommend!
Robert with K9 was absolutely amazing when it came to training my HIGH energy lab puppy River. Will and would recommend K9 over and over. Thanks for teaching River girl the basics, now we can build on those skills.
