Question on Google
What is the price and how long

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.

The National K-9 Team is very professional and they truly do care about how well my dog was trained. I have taken 2 of my dogs to the training and have had the pleasure of enjoying my well disciplined friend. As a owner, I also learned a lot of helping my dog learn. Thank you!

National K-9 has trained our 3 pets over the last 15 years. We researched many programs in many areas, and chose National K-9 from recommendations of friends, and staff and trainer professionalism. We are an active family and love having our pets alongside us for adventures, which National K-9 makes possible. The program is fantastic as the trainers train us as well! Our children were engaged in the training and can confidently handle our boisterous pup. Our most recent trainer was Hannah. We 100% recommend National K-9 and plan to continue with future training programs!

My 3 weeks were very intense, but it was also fun & enjoyable! The instructors & trainers are amazing & go out of their to help you succeed. I did the residency option & it was a definite plus to not have to worry about commuting. The classmates were great. Lots of laughs, some tears of frustration but everyone supported each other. I wish I could've done the 2nd 3 week option. In one month after leaving the program, I am very close to officially launching my own business & have no hesitations in letting people know where I trained. It was a lot of work & effort, but I would do it all over again!
