    Program details

    Your dog must finish our Basic Obedience Package before we will teach them any advanced lessons! Advanced Obedience is $400 and includes 4 of the following lessons: “Come to Heel” command: your dog will walk around you and position themselves for an off leash heel on command. “Watch” command: Eye contact until released. “Through” command: Your dog will walk between your legs and sit. “Stand” command: your dog will assume a standing position on command (great for mobility support of conformation dogs). “Front” Command: Your dog will come and sit directly in front of you. “Touch” Command: Your dog will use his two front feet to "touch" anything you point to. “Directional” Sends: You can point your finger and your dog will go “place” on anything you point to, without you having to walk over to the object. · Listed price: $400.00

    This includes the Off-Leash K9 Training E-Collar, a 15-foot leash, and FOUR one-hour lessons (taught once per week for 4 weeks). By the end of this package, your dog will be able to be outside, off-leash, with distractions while under complete control. Commands include the following: “Come,” “Sit,” and “Extended Sit.” “Down” and “Extended Down.” “Place” and “Extended Place.” (Your dog will sit on a location that you choose, like his bed, until released by you). “Break” Your dog is expected to maintain the command given until you give this release command. “Heel” They will walk right beside you, either consistently on your left or right side, either on or OFF the leash. “Off” is used to stop your dog in the act of jumping, counter surfing, digging, barking, etc. - if you can catch your dog doing it, you can stop it! **During classes we are teaching YOU how to teach your dog, so you will need to budget 45 minutes to 1-hour per day to practice between classes! · Listed price: $600.00

    Program details

    We keep your dog for 2 weeks and help them stabilize into the manageable family member they are capable of being! We pick your dog up at your front door step (as long as you live within an hour of the city) and we do ALL the initial teaching for you. By the end of their session, your dog will know all 7 basic commands included in basic, and you won’t need to go through the brain damage of teaching commands to them (or dedicating 45 minutes to an hour EVERY day for a month on training). During your dog’s stay, they will live with one of our certified trainers as if they were one of their own – going everywhere with them and working on desensitization to the things that set them off in the past! Your dog will go where our trainer goes, and you will get photo and/or video updates daily (so you know what they are learning and doing). At the very end, we spend 2 hours with you showing you how to maintain that training at home, but the also includes a lifetime support guarantee! · Listed price: $3,500.00

    Autism can leave the world confusing and difficult to navigate for children and adults alike – which is where our Autism Support Service Dog Program comes in to help. Do you, or a close family member struggle with repetitive speech or movements? The inability to speak when overloaded by sensory input from what is going on in the immediate vicinity? How about the urge to get up and leave the room or area you are in (for different reasons that sometimes you can’t explain?This course will not only give your dog the ability to focus on you or an affected child and listen in all environments, but will also teach your dog to actively interrupt that repetitive speech or body movement, comfort you when you feel overwhelmed, and trail (using scent) an autistic individual that has left their caregivers without warning. This program can run $1300 – $2500 for classes, or $4100+ for a Board and Train and classes combination program.

    Do you have a disability that affects your mobility? This 8-session course includes all 7 commands included in the basic obedience course (above) but also prepares your dog for real world scenarios as well as some advanced commands (like stand) that will help your dog assist you on command! This includes the e-collar and a 15ft training leash. This program is $900. Additional classes to learn how to open/close doors on command, attain a forced fetch, or turning on a light run at a per lesson charge of $100 each. **For those without a dog, we do offer Service Dog temperament evaluations for dogs in shelters and rescues, but recommend a Board and Train for these dogs rather than classes to help them acclimate to their new responsibilities more quickly. · Listed price: $900.00

    Do you have anxiety attacks that make daily tasks difficult? Not know when they are going to occur? Perhaps you have night terrors that make it impossible for you to get a good night’s sleep? If you fit one or more of those categories – we can help you!

Update Review - new dog, Maple Well Cayleigh did it again! We recently picked up our dog Maple from her 2 week training with Cayleigh and she is a new pup! Maple is a 10 month old Newfoundland who was even crazier than the first dog we sent for training, and Cayleigh has transformed her into mushy sweetness. Maple now behaves like a perfect angel and responds to her commands quickly and willingly. She was such a stubborn girl, but after time with Cayleigh, she has become well-behaved and attentive. I still can’t believe that such a transformation can happen is just 2 weeks! With both of our newfies now trained by Cayleigh we can take them ANYWHERE and handle them with ease. And this is so good for them because they get to have much broader experiences enjoying new places and people. I’d like to note that we have a newborn in the family now and both dogs are amazing with her! They are so attentive and gentle and I know part of that is their training. Thank you Cayleigh and K-9 Training for helping us so tremendously yet again! We are so thankful for your help!! We love you Cayleigh! Original Review - Training Bonnie There aren’t words to adequately describe just how thrilled my family is with the work that Caleigh did with our Newfie/Great Pyrenees pup. Our Bonnie was an over 100 pounds joyful bundle of unintentional terror that we were failing terribly at training. Caleigh has turned Bonnie into the perfect pup! Bonnie now comes, sits, lies down, stays, heels, places, and stops any bad behavior with a simple “off” command in an instant. And she obviously enjoys doing all of it because Carleigh trained her with such love and encouragement. We were kept informed of Bonnie’s training throughout the entire process with daily messages, images and videos so we could see what she was learning and how. On top of that, Caleigh spent 2 hours with us at the end to train us on everything that Bonnie learned so that we can continue the behaviors and cement what she has learned. Not only would I recommend the K-9 off-leash training group and processes to others, but I would specifically recommend Caleigh to anyone looking to train their dog knowing that their dog will come home well behaved and well cared for. Caleigh is a rock star in our book and we’re eternally grateful for her help! We will be calling on her again when we next bring home a new furry family member.

Wanted to come back and add that my puppy is doing great since she spent 2 weeks with Delaney! She was an excellent trainer and took wonderful care of my girl. Wonderful experience, highly recommend! Sandra just helped me sign my husky up for the board and train program. She was super friendly and explained everything perfectly. Everything sounds amazing, I'm excited!

Highly recommend this reactive dog training course! My 4 year old German Shepherd mix was starting to show a new behavior of leash reactivity to other dogs and I was struggling to know how to manage her on our twice daily walks. Our trainer, Erin, was amazing! After just the first few sessions and practicing at home, I started to see a noticeable difference in my dogs impulse control when approaching/passing dogs on our walks. We completed the course several weeks ago and I feel SO so so much more comfortable and confident on our walks and am not avoiding passing other dogs anymore. My dog is significantly better at her impulse control and is significantly less phased by passing other dogs as well. It has made a huge difference for us and definitely worth the investment for yourself and your dog!
