Professional EvaluationProgram details
Before recommending a specific training plan, we always like to start with a private, no obligation, Professional Evaluation. Spend an hour with our Certified Trainer getting answers, insight into your dog's behavior, a full assessment of your dog and situation, a demonstration of which training will work best for you, and finally customized training plan options designed to work for you! Our typical wait-time for getting started with an evaluation is about 3.5 - 4 weeks, so don't delay contacting us to get scheduled! · Listed price: $35.00

What people have asked about this business.
Can please anybody tell me that what are the charges for 2 years dog monthly behavior training?
Hi Lorina,
In order to determine the exact charges for training, we would first need to see your dog in for a private, professional evaluation. This is so our trainer can discuss what your goals are, what issues you are having, etc. From there, they will be able to offer you programs best suited to fit your needs. If interested in scheduling an evaluation, head to our website purposedrivenk9.com to fill out a contact form!

The pricing can vary depending on the behavior of the dog. You would have to call them to setup an evaluation for an exact price.
Our 2 year old dog “fence fights” badly with the dogs behind us. He is so focused he will not respond to us. We have tried shock
collars and citronella collars, both of which I hate. Could you help?
Hi Debbie, thanks for reaching out to us. We don't recommend using training tools that you're uncomfortable with or if you don't have the knowledge of how to use them.
We help with the issues you are describing, and the way we help varies from dog to dog depending on many factors including your dog's age, breed, history, lifestyle, energy level, and other personality traits.
We recommend getting more information about how we can help you with your dog's specific issues by filling out a contact form on our website and scheduling a Professional Evaluation with our trainer.

I have had 5 dogs trained at Purpose Driven K9 and I cannot say enough good things about them! From a very dog-reactive rescue Aussie to an easy going puppy who is now a therapy dog, all of my dogs received training to make them the best family pets they can be. My most recently adopted pup to be trained by Margaret was my most challenging. Fearful of new places and people, as well as being deaf, she is becoming more confident every day. I am so thankful I found PDK9 to help with my pack. My grandpups were trained there too!

Margaret is an excellent trainer and person. Sawyer was so hyper it was to the point that it was hard to enjoy having him. Not only does she train the dogs but she helps you understand life from their perspective. She doesn't make you feel like you are left in the dust with things, she and Melvin make sure to keep an eye out for anyone who is struggling. I really appreciate how understanding and welcoming her team is. You can tell that everyone there puts their heart into what they do. We now have such a sweet and well behaved 9 month old pup, and we are so grateful!

We have a chocolate lab who is as hyper as a chihuahua! We really thought we would have a hard time training him but like a miracle Margaret had him listening and doing things that just amazed us the very first class. The owner and the employees at Purpose Driven K9 are very educated experienced and kind. Margaret is also renowned for her own training methods that she has been invited to some of the top conferences to speak on. If you want what is best for your fur baby this is undoubtedly the best place to be and should be your first choice it is mine it will be mine from this point on. Our chocolate lab just graduated the class and is doing outstanding!
