What 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.

Question on Google
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.

Our ten-month-old pug, Lyra, was a spirited little monster when we signed her up for the K9 Academy. She graduated today and she is still spirited, but has learned obedience skills and self-discipline. She is a little ball of fire who can now sit, stay, heel, lay down, wait, come, and stay in place. When she went to PetSmart recently to have her nails done, we had to wait in line, and she sat right by my feet and made me so proud. Lead Trainer, Robert Fisher, is incredible. He clearly loves dogs and has the skill, experience, and gift to get the best out of them. Highly recommend this program. Lyra received five full days of training and I simply had to drop her off in the morning and then pick her up after 4. Mr. Fisher taught me how to lead her and reinforce her new skills each time. We are so happy to have such a sweet little pup who is a pleasure to be around. Well worth the investment.

Robert seems to be a very caring animal lover. Glad we brought our dog to him.

What great dog training! I loved how the program taught me how to be a good dog owner and strengthened the bond between my dog and my family. I highly recommend for any age of dog. Thanks K-9 Academy!

After 5 weeks at K9 Academy, our Rottweiler, Halo, is a different dog. He did a complete turn around with listening and obeying. Robert is fabulous! We're anxious to start the next 5 week course.
