Welcome to Defender K9 - a one-stop shop for all your dog training needs!
Seeing people enjoying well behaved dogs is what we are all about! We believe all dogs should have a “job” in the pack. Our passion is to help owners communicate with their dog and watch their bond strengthen.
Services We Offer:
Residency Programs
At Defender K9 we offer a variety of training options that are designed to fit any of our client’s needs. Our residency programs range from 3 days to 2 weeks in length. We also offer behavior modification packages and off leash training. Depending on the package purchased the client will receive a specific number of private lessons where we teach the owner leash control and how to maintain what the dog has learned.
Private Lessons
Not all dogs are candidates for residency programs. Private lessons can fit the need of the client as well as the dog who is extremely shy or doesn’t do well away from the owner. Private lessons are generally scheduled in one hour increments. For these types of lessons, Defender K9 will be teaching the owner how to train their dog. These lessons will span a longer time period as compared to the resident programs and practice in between lessons is crucial for success.
