Stephan and the K9 conditioning team is the best in the biz! I have two difficult dogs, even with each other, and one needs to be completely alone and Stephan is the only person I trust with them both when I travel! It’s so clear how much the team cares about the dogs and how knowledgeable he is on behavior and training. So grateful for this team!

Are private dog training sessions available for specific needs?
We occasionally offer private sessions based on availability. Due to our full schedule with board and train dogs, it can be challenging to guarantee consistent openings. Feel free to reach out via email if you’d like to discuss further.

We boarded my dog Turkey with K9 Conditioning for 5 days while we were in Idaho. He received daily exercise on the slatmill (non-electric dog treadmill), healthy socialization with other dogs, and also practiced his basic obedience. Turkey LOVES the slatmill. Although I wanted my dog to socialize, I also wanted him to have his own quiet space to rest. So I really appreciated that the dogs are crated in the house at night or when they need a break. Stephen was also great at answering all my questions, and kept us updated while we were away. When we all finally got back home, he acted like it was just another normal evening. You’d never know he just spent the week away from us, which lets me know he felt right at home with Stephen at K9 Conditioning. There was also a crew of Australian Shepherds being boarded at the same time. Turkey successfully infiltrated their pack without being noticed.. or maybe they just played along lol. Either way, he was happy to be apart of the Aussie Pack 🐾 It was like doggy summer camp for him!

K9 Conditioning did an incredible job with my 2-year old reactive dog. He is back to being part of the family again. Stephan was very communicative throughout the entire 4-week program / he sent frequent updates and walked us through everything he was doing. He shared tremendous resources that were easy to use. It is clear to us that Stephan really cares about his work with the dogs. I cannot recommend this program enough. 100% worth the investment.
There’s no place I trust with my dogs more than here. Vacationing is now worry free!

There’s no place I trust with my dogs more than here. Vacationing is now worry free! Stephen and K9 Conditioning are knowledgeable, use the latest and best techniques, and my dogs love being with them. Boarding, training, nutrition — this is the place and I love that I’ve found a place so close to home. Thor, my purebred, is from them 😉 so, raise and train is something they offer as well! Pickups and drop offs are so easy and I always get updates when my boys are there! 🐾

Exceptional! I can't think of a more fitting word to express our entire experience with K9 Conditioning. We did the 4 week board and train with our 4 month old Buckley a Bermise Mountain Dog you will see in some of their latest pics. The dog we got back compared to the crazy puppy we dropped off is night and day. Steph, the head trainer is such an amazing person to work with. I am not exaggerating when I say he sent, updates, photos, videos, links to info, or some kind of information about how things were going almost every day. When my wife and I met with him to do the included one on one training, (mostly for us at that point), he was so patient with us and our dog. We honestly can't wait to use what he's taught us to help Buckley remain as calm, cool, and amazing as we now know he can be. We will be bringing every dog we end up having to K9C and could not be more pleased.
