What people have asked about this business.
What is a Board & Train program?
A Board & Train program is an immersive, hands-on dog training experience where your dog stays with professional trainers for several weeks. At The K9 Blueprint, our programs focus on real-world behavior, obedience, and confidence-building. Dogs learn calm, respectful manners, off-leash reliability, and structure, while owners receive a comprehensive plan to maintain training at home. Board & Train is ideal for busy owners, puppies, or dogs with behavior challenges who need intensive guidance.
Absolutely. Aggression rehab and behavior modification are specialties at The K9 Blueprint. We safely work with dogs showing fear-based, resource-based, or territorial aggression, as well as reactive behaviors like lunging or excessive barking. Every dog receives a customized program based on their triggers, temperament, and history. Our goal is to give you a dog that is confident, safe, and manageable in everyday life.
Yes! We offer Puppy Board & Train programs designed for puppies 8 weeks and older. Puppies learn potty training, crate training, bite inhibition, basic obedience, and socialization in a structured, fun environment. Early training helps prevent behavior issues and builds confidence and independence, giving you a well-adjusted, obedient companion.
Most programs at The K9 Blueprint range from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your dog’s needs. The first week focuses on structure, obedience, and confidence building, while the following weeks reinforce training and introduce real-world scenarios. We also provide owner training sessions and a take-home plan to maintain results long-term.
Yes! Every program includes owner education and a custom action plan to ensure your dog’s new behaviors stick. We teach you how to communicate clearly, maintain consistency, and reinforce positive habits. Dogs trained at The K9 Blueprint return calm, confident, and reliable, and owners feel empowered to continue progress at home.
To stop excessive barking, start by identifying the cause, whether it's boredom, anxiety, or a response to external stimuli. Once you understand why your dog is barking, you can address the root cause. Here are some strategies:
- Exercise and Mental Stimulation: Ensure your dog gets enough physical exercise and mental stimulation through play, training, and puzzle toys.
- Training and Commands: Teach your dog the "quiet" command. When your dog starts barking, say "quiet" calmly and firmly. When they stop barking, reward them with a treat and praise.
- Desensitization: Gradually expose your dog to the stimulus that causes them to bark, in a controlled manner, and reward them for staying calm.
- Distraction and Redirection: Distract your dog with a toy or treat when they start barking and redirect their focus to something positive.
Potty training a puppy requires consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. Follow these steps: establish a routine, choose a designated spot, use positive reinforcement, and clean accidents thoroughly.

My husky was the stereotypical stubborn Houdini husky there ever was. She had an urge to run and ignore. Hannah and the K9 Blueprint gave us a foundation of training that she and I desperately needed. My girl looks to me now, trusts me more, listens and follows commands. We are both happier than ever! So impressed. I wasn’t sure about being parted with her for boarding, but Hannah made sure I got photos, videos, and regular updates about her progress. Highly recommend!

Hannah is brilliant as a dog trainer. No words can express how she is a miracle worker. I have an 8 month old gsd. She is a working breed and she was super stubborn. She also struggled with confidence tremendously. Our dog went through her two week training course and in the two week, there was a difference. Like night and day, especially with the follow up training.
It was , again, miracle we were led to Hannah. On an other note, she was amazing with how she helped me as an owner too. Thanks Hannah, our sweet puppy will miss you even though she pretends she does not know you.
Fast forward to two years later and I am still in love with Hannah and her training. The biggest thing I adore, I can contact her afterward the fact. I can ask for refresher courses to keep my dog fresh with obedience and confidence. Highly recommend her.

We met Hannah (owner of the K9 Blueprint) at an event in downtown Brooksville and saw her well trained personal dog. We were immediately comfortable with Hannah and she took the time to tell us about training and answer all of our questions. After 3-weeks in-house training for our dogs, Meika and Bohdi, the change was remarkable. Now we can take them out around people and they heal perfectly and actually listen to us. People can finally visit us without our dogs jumping on them - big change. They learned to sit at the door and wait to be told they can go outside. They were nearly knocking me down to get out. They learned so much more. Added bonus, they can go back for remedial training as needed. I highly recommend the K9 Blueprint. Best decision we ever made for our dogs.

I would 100% recommend this trainer Hannah she is amazing. My dog had separation anxiety, not listening, jumping, barking at people and other dogs. After her 4 week boarding and training program I have a well behaved dog. We are going to put our 2nd dog in her program. Hannah will not disappoint and is very thorough
