Question on Google
What is the price and how long

The cost and length of training would be dependent on the individual dog and the owner's goals. Before beginning training, dogs and owners are evaluated by one of our certified professional trainers. During this meeting our certified trainer will obtain background information and then be able to recommend training options. Each dog's training is based on the dog's according personality type, behavior problems (if any), and family’s goals, thus making it more cost effective. National K-9 has training programs and options to meet most budgets. Call our office at 614-864-8808 or go to nk9.com/dog-training-behavior/evaluation-request/ to schedule a free pre-training evaluation time to take place sometime Monday through Saturday. Thank you for your interest.

Unprofessional staff. Place looks run down. From the outside you’d think it was a jail.

My dog Ace did his puppy training at National K9 and 4 years later, he is still the best on walks! Even after moving away for 2 years of his life, the staff remembered him from his training. I typically don't board my pets, but when I have to NK9 is the best! My dog always comes home happy and sleepy. I appreciate the extra care they give my dog!

National K-9 has been absolutely life changing for my pups and I. After adopting my rescue and she began to settle in, her behaviors and reactivity began to show. Walking her was a nightmare, for being small she certainly knew how to drag me through my neighborhood. Barking and screaming every time she saw another dog, lunging and biting at my clothes anytime I tried to leave my home. After dropping her off for the 13-5 board and train with Cassie, she became a completely different dog. We worked hard in our follow up sessions, at home and even additional 1-on-1 sessions at N-K9 with Cassie. Now, we walk confidently outside and can enjoy walking together. I've learned how to continue to manage her reactivity through appropriate timing and proper exposure. She improves every day. Cassie and Elizabeth also trained my other rescue who now has appropriate manners inside and outside of the home. I am absolutely thrilled with how well my pups have done since training. Thank you to everyone at N-K9, we are so thankful!!
