Airborne K9 Dog Training

Airborne K9 in Sanford, NC, is the best dog training and boarding facility in the Piedmont region—hands down! Working with Ashley Jacobson has been a game-changer for both my dogs and me. I began weekly private lessons in early 2025 and have continued ever since. Initially, I was seeking help for my shy young Pit Bull mix and my Treeing Walker Coonhound puppy. What has come from those lessons is nothing short of amazing: two dogs who have blossomed into confident, highly skilled pups. The results have truly exceeded my expectations. Ashley and the trainers of Airborne K9 bring a tremendous depth of knowledge, professionalism, and patience to every session. They don't just train dogs—they teach owners how to communicate effectively and build lasting success with their dogs. After every session, I left feeling more confident, more capable, and excited to continue working with my pups. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate everyone at Airborne K9. Their passion for what they do is evident in every interaction, and their commitment to the success of both dogs and owners is unmatched. If you're looking for outstanding training, expert guidance, or a boarding facility you can trust, I wholeheartedly recommend Airborne K9. Thank you, Ashley and Benny! You guys are incredible!!!

Phenomenal place to bring your dog! It is hard to find someone you trust. With training or even simply watching your pup on the weekends. I can truly say Airborne K9 treated my dog with the upmost respect and compassion. She comes home from training happy and ready to put her new skills to work. I did board to train for my pup but I will be bringing her back for boarding when needed. 10/10 easiest review i have ever had the pleasure to write!!

I cannot say enough great things about Airborne K9 Dog Training. From day one, the experience has been exceptional for both me and my dogs. My Cane Corso puppy participated in the Day School program, and the results have been outstanding. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and skilled at what they do. They took the time to understand my puppy’s personality and training needs, and the progress in obedience, confidence, and overall behavior has been remarkable. As the owner of two Cane Corsos and an XL American Bully, finding trainers who are confident and experienced with large, powerful breeds is extremely important to me. The team at Airborne K9 consistently demonstrates professionalism, consistency, and expertise when working with these breeds. Their understanding of canine behavior and training methods gave me complete confidence that my puppy was in excellent hands throughout the training process. One of the things I appreciate most is the strong sense of community they have created. The club activities provide a fun, positive, and dog-friendly environment where owners can continue reinforcing training while socializing with other dogs and handlers. These events help build confidence, strengthen obedience skills, and make training enjoyable for both dogs and owners. I have also boarded my two Cane Corsos and XL American Bully with Airborne K9, and the experience has always been fantastic. Knowing my dogs are safe, well cared for, and surrounded by people who genuinely understand and love dogs gives me tremendous peace of mind whenever I travel. If you’re looking for professional dog training, boarding, or a supportive community that truly cares about helping dogs and owners succeed, I highly recommend Airborne K9. Their dedication, expertise, and passion for what they do set them apart, and I am grateful for everything they have done for my dogs.

I've been training with Ashley at Airborne K9 for about a year through both private lessons and club, and I can't recommend her enough. When we started, my dog was... let's just say "enthusiastically unhinged." Thanks to Ashley (and Benny), she's now a lovable, well-trained, enthusiastically unhinged dog. The difference is that now I actually understand what she's thinking and how to work with her instead of just wondering what chaos she'll create next. Ashley is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and supportive. One of the things I appreciate most is that she meets you and your dog where you are. Whether you're working on basic obedience, tracking, scent detection, or something completely different, she's always willing to help and share her expertise. More importantly, she doesn't just train dogs she teaches owners. Over the past year, she's helped me better understand my dog's responses, motivations, and potential. Because of her guidance, we've been able to unlock abilities in my dog that I never knew were there. If you're looking for a trainer who can help turn your dog's chaos into controlled chaos while building a stronger bond between you and your dog, Airborne K9 is the place to go. Ashley and Benny are simply the best.
