Program 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

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat 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.

This is the third training facility I have tried for my dog and it will be our last because they are GREAT! I had tried positive only trainers and other balanced trainers before coming to PDK9 and neither provided the results I wanted. PDK9 gave us hope AND results. My dog, Marlow, has issues with aggression and reactivity that started before her 1st birthday. At the worst point, she consistently lost her mind lunging, growling, and barking at every single thing we'd see on walks (cars, cats, birds, people, dogs, leaves) and bit someone when leaving daycare. I ended up having to do walks very early in the morning (with no improvement) and she never went back to daycare. She lacked confidence, direction, and leadership. Marlow did a board and train for 10 days with PDK9 and has been attending group classes. Marlow learns new skills and behaviors quickly - and the trainers do a great job of teaching me how to keep up with her! I absolutely recommend this training facility to anyone, whether you are struggling with reactivity, aggression, over-excitement, or just wanting basic obedience training. The trainers build a bond with your dog and are very educated on canine behavior. They are extremely trustworthy, kind, and compassionate. They will work with you to create a customized plan for your dog. The prices are very reasonable for the long-lasting results and commitment they show to your dog - you just need to be ready to show the same commitment in order to see long term results. The facility is kept very clean and the employees are professional and welcoming.
Margaret & the rest of the training team are great.
Drove an hour and a half in traffic and they said they needed to reschedule because they didn’t have enough time to work with my dog. Sorry. Not happening.

My dog franklin was a wild man when we got him at 12 weeks old. He couldn't stop barking at other dogs people whatever. Would not listen and was starting to run us ragged. We reached out to multiple places but no one had availability because of all the pandemic pups. But alas, spot opened up at PDK9 and omg what a difference it made. The trainers were professional and kind and so so sweet and they love dogs, all shapes and sizes. It's the perfect place and I highly recommend. We were worried going in that we would spend all that money and it wouldn't fix the issues. They fixed our dog, but mostly they fixed us. We were also a huge part of his problems. They taught us how to reinforce good behavior and punish the not so good behavior. Honestly the best experience with them. Can't imagine going anywhere else.
