Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
My dog barks at everything. Can training help?
Yes! Excessive barking is often rooted in anxiety, not attitude. Our programs focus on building calm, confident behavior at the root—not just stopping the symptom.
Community answer · Project K9 · 2025-09-21
What are you drop off and pick up hours?
Boarding and Daycare drop-off is from 7–8 AM, and pick-up is from 4–6 PM. These times help us maintain a consistent routine for the dogs in our care. Our training pickup is scheduled into one of our training session windows so we can take the time to go over everything you need to be successful at home.
Community answer · Project K9 · 2025-09-21
Do you offer boarding or daycare without doing training first?
Yes, we offer boarding and daycare for well-mannered dogs. We do not take on dogs who are dangerous at this time. Safety and structure are our top priorities.

Community answer · Project K9 · 2025-09-21
Will my dog be around other dogs during the day?
Yes! All interactions are carefully supervised, and new dogs are introduced slowly to the group. Groups are arranged by size, age, temperament, and play style. We only allow socialization with dogs that are a good match in temperament and energy. We do not take on aggressive dogs at this time into our groups.
Community answer · Project K9 · 2025-09-21
Do you work with the entire family and the dog?
Yes! We work with the entire family, including the kids. We want everyone to be on the same page, and really work hard to get the young ones involved with responsibility/chores, as well as the fun activities with the dog. They are a part of your family too, after all!
Community answer · Project K9 · 2025-09-21
Do you work with leash pulling or reactivity?
Definitely. Whether your dog pulls, lunges, or gets over-excited on walks, we’ll work on calm leash walking using proven, real-life training strategies around distractions. We work with reactivity regularly.

Do you offer updates while my dog is there?
Yes! During training, you will get real-time footage of our training lessons so you can see your dog's progress. We regularly post on social media pictures and videos of the dogs we are working with. We even send cute pictures and videos to the owners while their dogs are staying with us!
Community answer · Project K9 · 2025-09-21
How far in advance do I need to book for boarding?
We have very limited space for our daycare and boarding services. We typically book out a few weeks in advance, especially during holidays or summer. Early booking ensures your spot and gives us time to prep for your dog’s stay.
Community answer · Project K9 · 2025-09-21
What's included in the Board and Train Program?
Our Board & Train program includes personalized obedience training, daily structured exercise, socialization with other dogs, and real-world outings in Southern Utah. We focus on behavior transformation, not just commands. You’ll also receive go-home lessons and continued support.

Heather is the best! We love boarding with her, she always takes great care of our pup 🐶!!

Huge thank you to project K9 for fulfilling my dreams of having a furbaby that I can take everywhere with me. Recently I was vacationing in Seattle with my 5 month old boxer Jackson. Thanks to project K9 I was able to take him with me to a busy downtown Seattle restaurant and have lunch. He sat patiently and perfectly behaved while a friend and I had lunch. I even had the confidence (thanks to project K9) to coach other restaurant goers how to interact with him to help him stay calm during our lunch. I would recommend project K9 to anyone who is looking for training for their pup... it has changed our lives! One happy, proud fur mama 💙🐾
we love heather! we used her for training for our doberman & she was amazing! ever since, we have only ever used her for day care or overnight boarding if needed. she’s amazing & so trustworthy. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else & honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else🤍
