Questions & answers

From Google

What 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

Question on Google
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.

Question on Google
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.

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!

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.

We came to Heather looking for help dealing with separation anxiety with our rescue dog. We were at the end of our rope. We couldn’t leave her alone, she would break all crates… it was rough. After 8 weeks we have made huge strides in the right direction all thanks to Heather! We still have a ways to go because separation anxiety is hard but we are equipped with the right tools and heather will continue to coach us as we navigate this. Thank you so much for being there for us and giving us the peace of mind that we can get through this and enjoy life with Bonita!

Project K9 has earned our loyalty – twice! Ten years ago, Heather helped us train our older dog, and we were so thrilled with the results that we returned for puppy training with our new dog, Delilah. The in-home environment is a huge plus, offering a personalized touch that's hard to find. We appreciate that Delilah worked with the same consistent trainer, which allowed for a strong connection and effective learning. The outcome is a wonderfully obedient and well-mannered dog, especially gentle and loving with our children. Even though we live several hours away, we wouldn’t consider taking our dogs anywhere else. Project K9 is simply the best!

Heather at Project K9 was lovely and easy to deal with. She was great about communication and her hours worked out perfectly. Her facility was just what we needed as we passed through the area while moving from California to Colorado. Our Great Pyrenees dog, Nanuk was very well taken care of and comfortable for her overnight stay, allowing us to get a good night’s rest at our hotel before getting back on the road. We would definitely have her stay at Project K9 again when traveling back and forth from Colorado to California and back. Thanks Heather!

I had a great experience with Heather. She is very knowledgeable in all aspects of training. I had an unruly pup 😆 but by the end of training he was well behaved. I highly recommend the service
