What people have asked about this business.
What is a Board & Train program?
A Board & Train program is an immersive, hands-on dog training experience where your dog stays with professional trainers for several weeks. At The K9 Blueprint, our programs focus on real-world behavior, obedience, and confidence-building. Dogs learn calm, respectful manners, off-leash reliability, and structure, while owners receive a comprehensive plan to maintain training at home. Board & Train is ideal for busy owners, puppies, or dogs with behavior challenges who need intensive guidance.
Absolutely. Aggression rehab and behavior modification are specialties at The K9 Blueprint. We safely work with dogs showing fear-based, resource-based, or territorial aggression, as well as reactive behaviors like lunging or excessive barking. Every dog receives a customized program based on their triggers, temperament, and history. Our goal is to give you a dog that is confident, safe, and manageable in everyday life.
Yes! We offer Puppy Board & Train programs designed for puppies 8 weeks and older. Puppies learn potty training, crate training, bite inhibition, basic obedience, and socialization in a structured, fun environment. Early training helps prevent behavior issues and builds confidence and independence, giving you a well-adjusted, obedient companion.
Most programs at The K9 Blueprint range from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your dog’s needs. The first week focuses on structure, obedience, and confidence building, while the following weeks reinforce training and introduce real-world scenarios. We also provide owner training sessions and a take-home plan to maintain results long-term.
Yes! Every program includes owner education and a custom action plan to ensure your dog’s new behaviors stick. We teach you how to communicate clearly, maintain consistency, and reinforce positive habits. Dogs trained at The K9 Blueprint return calm, confident, and reliable, and owners feel empowered to continue progress at home.
To stop excessive barking, start by identifying the cause, whether it's boredom, anxiety, or a response to external stimuli. Once you understand why your dog is barking, you can address the root cause. Here are some strategies:
- Exercise and Mental Stimulation: Ensure your dog gets enough physical exercise and mental stimulation through play, training, and puzzle toys.
- Training and Commands: Teach your dog the "quiet" command. When your dog starts barking, say "quiet" calmly and firmly. When they stop barking, reward them with a treat and praise.
- Desensitization: Gradually expose your dog to the stimulus that causes them to bark, in a controlled manner, and reward them for staying calm.
- Distraction and Redirection: Distract your dog with a toy or treat when they start barking and redirect their focus to something positive.
Potty training a puppy requires consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. Follow these steps: establish a routine, choose a designated spot, use positive reinforcement, and clean accidents thoroughly.

We sent our puppy to Hannah for 2 weeks for on leash training. When we got him back he was a perfect gentleman on walks. We continued our follow up visits with Hannah. After a couple of months he went back to Hannah for off leash training. And OMG so worth it!!! During his board and train Hannah stayed in contact with us with text and videos of his progress. After we got our fur baby back she continues to stay in contact with us checking on his progress and offering suggestions of problems that we have encountered. Hannah is such a joy to work with and you can tell how much she loves all dogs. She is very professional and treated our fur baby as if it were her own. Her boarding facility is spotless and well maintained. We never worried about our fur baby staying with her as we knew he was well taken care of. We highly recommend Hannah for all your training needs.

Hannah worked wonders on training Harley, my great danoodle. He became afraid of kids and, loud noises and wouldn’t heel or pay attention to commands. She really helped us train him to listen and not be afraid. We get compliments on how well behaved he is! Highly recommend Hannah and K9 blueprint.

Hannah was amazing working with my Rodney! He walks so well on a leash and loves to please! His focus on me has improved since his 2 week boarding and walks are much more enjoyable for the both of us! I would definitely recommend Hannah for all your training needs!

After trying multiple trainers the K9 Blueprint and Hannah was the only one that got our puppy on track. We were tempted temporarily to give him back but now he behave so very much better. We are still receiving training weekly because of cats in the house but that is improving now also. We still have a few steps to go but I highly, highly recommend The K9 Blueprint

Hannah has exceeded our expectations. The kindness, professionalism, and absolute passion for what she does is above and beyond anyone I have talked to. She takes the time to get to know each dog and what works for them. She then takes the time with you and your family to make sure we are comfortable and know all the commands. I recommend her over and over again to anyone that asks me abiut dog training. Totally worth money! She has made life with our 2 dogs so much more enjoyable.
