With over 30 years of combined experience, we specialize in helping dogs of all temperaments, from energetic puppies to “reactive” or even “untrainable” dogs, using force-free, positive, and ethical methods that never rely on fear or pain. Our proven philosophy transforms behavior by nurturing calm confidence and mutual understanding. Every session is personalized to build harmony between you and your dog.
Imagine walking together in perfect balance: calm, confident, connected. Let’s make that your reality today.

We came to K9 Enrichment Center after they were recommended by my puppy's vet because he was just crazy energetic and didn't know how to controll all that puppy energy. Reached out to them through their website and they got back very fast. We chose to do the private lessons they offer and my puppy went in there not even knowing his name. His improvement in just one session was incredible. We were given great advice on how to work on his behaviors and choices at home and outside, as this is my and my husband's first dog together. They have incredibly trained dogs that my puppy got to socialize with as part of his training. They were great working around my work schedule for sessions and very helpfull when I had to reschedule a week due to weather. Overall amazing experience 100% recommend if you want to learn how to recognize your dogs wants and needs and grow a closer connection with them while teaching them how to make good choices.
Best wishes - Maria, Shaid & Apollo 🐾

My puppy Josie has been attending trainings since 8 weeks old (now 10months). Crystal and Ryan have done a TRAMENDOUS job. I get so many compliments on how well behaved she is and how friendly she is with people and other dogs. I highly recommend their services :)

We are currently working with Ryan and Crystle. We have an anxious 6 year old GSD and reactive 9 year old GSD. Since we started working with them, there has been a significant change in both pups behavior. Today we had our first encounter with other dogs on our walk and our male, though slightly reactive, showed significant improvement and my Anxious female showed zero reaction at all, which is huge! (Normally she tries to correct her brother). I have begun learning what inappropriate dog play is and We are implementing correction. And the short amount of time we have been working with them I have learned so much and it is really paying off! I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for ways to properly communicate with their pup for lasting results! 🙏🏼

My most amazing baby Yorkie is the way he is because of the love, attention and training showered on by the best owner and staff in the world. My baby is soooo perfect which is the only reason I would consider getting another baby.

K9EC is the best. Ryan and Crystle are just amazing people and their staff is also. They are kind and caring and want only the best for you and your pup. With their guidance and training my little guy has progressed so much with listening and especially with going for walks. Even my neighbors who have known him since I adopted him, have commented on how well-behaved he is now and of course they see him on walks and are very impressed with his progress. I call the training "school", and when I say "hey, Scooby wanna go to school?" He is so excited and can't wait to get into the car and get there. That alone tells me that I made the right decision with bringing him there for training.
