I had my Dutch shepherd train there but not for police
The cost and length of training would be dependent on the individual dog and the owner's goals. Before beginning training, dogs and owners are evaluated by one of our certified professional trainers. During this meeting our certified trainer will obtain background information and then be able to recommend training options. Each dog's training is based on the dog's according personality type, behavior problems (if any), and family’s goals, thus making it more cost effective. National K-9 has training programs and options to meet most budgets.
Call our office at 614-864-8808 or go to nk9.com/dog-training-behavior/evaluation-request/ to schedule a free pre-training evaluation time to take place sometime Monday through Saturday. Thank you for your interest.

10 month update: After continuing my education working with other trainers, and finding a company to work for. I look back every week and am reminded on where I got started. Funny to say, but the founder of the company I work for started at National K9. When discussing with people on where I attended school I am surprised by the countless times I’ve heard “ I know someone who attended there”. I can not thank National k9 and the staff enough for the education I received.

I love Cassie and Ahmed! They are my dogs' trainers and we like to move at a good pace, our training sessions have all been so fun and successful. My reactive dog is showing loads of improvement. She doesn't pull at the end of her leash anymore and we are building trust while strengthening our relationship. I'm so grateful for this place.

National k9 and Trainer Grace are amazing. Grace worked with my 8 year old dog to increase his confidence and therefore decrease reactivity and anxiety. She was also extremely helpful with me and answered all of my questions and made very good recommendations. I would highly recommend their training programs.

Literally changed our life. We have 3 dogs and they all had their own issues. We did the board and train for all 3 and it was life changing. They gave us the tools to maintain the training they instilled in the dogs. Specifically communicating what we need them to do without destroying their confidence or screaming at them. It has infinitely improved our relationship with our dogs. Cassie is a rockstar. So grateful to National K-9.

My partner and I board our 20lb mix breed here when we're on vacation, and have been doing so for 5+ years. Is it out of the way for us? Yes. Is the piece of mind worth it because we trust them completely? Yes. They enjoy our pup and always give us glowing comments when we come get him.
Oh! Do yourself a favor and add a bath and nail trim too. No regrets.
