Tactical K9s Dog Training

Additional tools will help in the beginning, this helps byild a connection with the animals. We’ll give you a checklist, but the basics are food, any medication, and your dog’s vaccination records. We provide the structure, schedule, and training gear.

Yes. That’s foundational. Crate training isn’t punishment, it’s structure, the dog's safe space. We build routines that make housebreaking easier and create a calmer home environment.

Yes, that’s common. We train in distraction-rich environments so your dog learns to stay focused no matter what’s going on around them. Consistency outside the home is a game changer, plus, helps you have a stronger bond so you can go on many adventures together.

Your dog stays with us, lives in structure, learns around the clock, and receives training throughout the day. We work on crate training, commands, socialization, and real-world behavior. We also give you tools to keep it going at home.

Small, focused groups, no chaos. We work in real-life scenarios with multiple handlers to build social confidence, command reliability, and attention in distracting environments. Like everything, you really know how you are doing as a handler when in a real group with focus.

The earlier the better. As soon as your puppy has their first round of shots, we can start basic training, crate routines, and socialization. It sets the tone for everything else down the road, by having a strong foundation, you have more success and a happier lifestyle.

I don’t just train dogs, I train both ends of the leash. My programs are built on years of law enforcement experience, behavioral science, and real-world structure. We focus on calm, confident leadership that lasts a lifetime, not just quick fixes.

Absolutely, you get trained too. That’s the most important part. I walk you through the same commands, structure, and mindset so the training doesn’t stop when your dog comes home. Dogs have a pack mentality, and from this, they know how to instantly slip into hierarchy.

Definitely. Leash manners are one of the most common issues I address. We teach calm walking, proper heel positioning, and how to stop the pulling without relying on gimmicks. Because lets be honest, it is frustrating being out in public and having to correct the dog when you just want to have a good time.

Yes. In fact, that’s where we shine. I’ve worked with reactive, fearful, and aggressive dogs for years. We don’t mask the behavior, we dig into the cause and reset it from the ground up. This way the dog lowers their guard and you have a happier time with your friend.

Most clients start noticing changes within the first few sessions, especially with consistency at home. With Board & Train, we structure everything so your dog is already in rhythm when they return to you. This way you have a better time from the start of the training program and they understand what you expect from our expertise.

Easy, just reach out, call, text or email... We’ll do an initial call to learn more about your dog, your goals, and recommend the best program. Whether it’s a private session, Board & Train, or group class, we’ll get you on the right path.

Absolutely. My wife and I both help families understand the language of leadership with their dogs. We’re big believers in training that fits the whole household, not just the adult in charge. We also help Veterans, First Responders, and those with disabilities to see the power of a Service Animal.
