Kentucky Dog Training LLC is a board and train specialist serving Lexington and central Kentucky. We specialize in high quality board and trains in a home setting.
Our programs will help you achieve the level of manners and obedience that you are looking for. Life is too short to accept being dragged down the street, or not being able to recall your dog off leash. Head trainer Samantha Adams is nationally recognized, certified, and experienced in bringing out the best in every dog.
Our most popular program is our Distraction Program, which teaches your dog reliable obedience for the real world. They learn their skills in a home setting, and then progress to practicing those skills everywhere from Lowes to the Arboretum.

I cannot say enough great things about KDT!! They took my GSD mix pup who was reactive and transformed her into a wonderfully confident dog even in new situations. Walks before KDT caused both me and Cocoa anxiety and often resulted in frustration. She would bark and pull towards every person, dog, squirrel, etc. Now we are able to walk past almost anything with little to no reactions. She even let some neighborhood kids pet her, which felt like a pipe dream before KDT. You can tell they genuinely care for every dog that comes through their program. I now recommend them to anyone looking for dog training!

Before KY Dog Training, walking our girl was a battle and made exercising her difficult. With Samantha’s help, it’s a complete 180. Can’t sing her praises enough!

I took my Frenchie to Kentucky Dog Training. He was somewhat out of control. Sam did a great job with my Frenchie. Best decision I could have made. To me it’s an investment. Your home life will be much better. If you are considering dog obedience training I highly recommend Sam for the job. You’ll be amazed at your dogs transformation!

She is absolutely incredible and knows her work so well! I cannot recommend her enough. Before sending my dog Bear her way, I had tried many other training programs, was feeling hopeless, and his reactivity was starting to take over my life. After her program he came back a different dog and I am able to take him places without stressing he will be barking and lunging at any person or animal that moves

Sam and Kara are amazing. We sent our 12 week old puppy to them for 4 weeks and my husband and I both agree that it’s one of the best investments we have made for our family. We have three kids under 5, so it was really important that our puppy learned basic commands, how to stay in her place, and how to walk on a leash. 4 weeks later and she is doing all of those things. Sam and Kara were communicative, supportive, and patient with (and our dog!) from the minute I reached out about training with them. This has continued since the puppy has been home which helps me know that we will be able to maintain the knowledge and skills our puppy learned while away. We can’t say enough great things about Kara and Sam - their knowledge, care, and commitment are worth every penny.
