  • Behavior consultation

    Behavior modification dog training is a type of positive reinforcement-based training that uses rewards to teach dogs new behaviors in order to promote good behavior. Dogs learn better when they are rewarded for correct actions, and this technique has been proven effective.

  • Leash training
  • Obedience training
  • Puppy training
    Program details

    Training helps puppies learn boundaries and good behavior, which will make them easier to live with in the long-term. You'll also save time and money because a well-trained puppy will be less likely to chew furniture or bark excessively.

I highly recommend K9Acholics. We have had both of our dogs go through their Day Training Program and had amazing results. Our dog Luna had been through 3 trainers prior to K9Acholics for her boundary and dog reactivity and none of the previous trainers were able to help her/us with her reactivity. Within 5 weeks, the trainers at K9Acholics have made it possible where we can take Luna out for walks and out in public without her reacting and starting to feel more confident in herself around other dogs. Our other dog Rueger also did the Day Training Program, where he was taught obedience, walking, recall, and was helped with his “Monkey see, Monkey do” reactivity that he learned from his “sister, Luna. We were first brought to K9Aholics by having a thorough, honest, and educational phone consultation with the owner, Cam. We were then able to view the facility ahead of time and meet some of the trainers. Kat, Acacia, and Mikayla were always so nice at pick up and drop off and were amazing with our dogs. Haleigh was the main trainer in regards to our dogs reactivities, and she is so thorough, personable, honest, and knows what she is doing. She, along with everyone else there, always took the time to talk to us and explain everything and make sure that we knew what to do at home. Our dogs are so much more confident in themselves, and so much better behaved and we as their owners are more educated and confident in our abilities with working with our dogs. I cannot recommend K9Aholics and their trainers enough. It is well worth the money. They kept our dogs safe, were always open and honest with everything, and did such an amazing job. If you have been looking for a good dog trainer, these are your people. Thank you to everyone at K9Aholics, y’all have made such a difference in our lives and our dogs lives💜

Great staff and communication. From our first over the phone consultation with Cam and our first visit to the facility everybody has been super friendly and upfront. These guys seem to genuinely enjoy their job (which seems to be hard to find these days) and they were always happy to spend time with our pets. We had 2 dogs go in for reactivity and are happy to report they have made leaps and bounds in improvement especially with a few offsite visits with Haleigh, who has been super easy to work with and very personable. We have gone through several trainers in the past but these guys are the real deal and we could not be happier. Having 2 dogs who could not see another dog or person through a window without reacting harshly to now having 2 dogs we can comfortably walk in public spaces without issue is a huge improvement to quality of life for us and our pets! Cannot recommend them enough!

All the trainers at K9aholics were so informative and there was great communication! My Jax is only 4 months old, the skills he learned will allow us to take him everywhere with us!! They truly care about the relationship they build not just with the dog but with the owners. They worked with me for over an hour when I picked Jax up to ensure I was confident for continuing the training at home!! I will work with them again.

My wife and I are very pleased with the training our pup received. The team at K9aholics always took the time to answer any questions and put all concerns at ease. We will certainly look to utilize them again in the future.

5/5

Brought my puppies in for training on manners and had a great experience with Haleigh and the rest of the staff. She kept me informed on how my dogs were doing on the regular. I was referred by a friend who’s dog was excellent and I would 10/10 refer them to anyone that needs dog training at any age!!
