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.

I recently did a board and train with Hannah for my 8 month old Labrador. I can’t even begin to explain how much this has helped my pup and me! Hannah is so kind and compassionate, she takes so much pride in what she does ! I was almost ready to give up on my pup, he was out of control but with Hannah’s training and consistency he has become such a good boy ! I highly recommend K9 Blueprint to anyone who wants to have a well balanced and obedient dog !

Hannah did a fantastic job with Huck. I’m like a lot of others that is really attached to their pet and was reserved about leaving him for a month. I was so impressed with the training and communication that I experienced throughout the course. When I picked up Huck I was amazed at the transformation. I couldn’t have asked for better treatment and training. Time and money well spent for sure.

Hannah and the K9 Blueprint family are amazing. We sent our little guy, Winston, to her for a few weeks of board and train. He left a smart puppy with plenty to learn. He came back a smart puppy with discipline, the eagerness to please and continues to impress us everyday. A changed little man. It’s boot camp.
Hannah’s attitude and treatment of the pups she works with is positive, reinforcing, and exactly what we would want in a trusted trainer. From what we have seen she doesn’t do it half-ass and makes the experience enjoyable for our beloved pups. Knowing she is there for us to continue the process (and yes, it’s up to you when you get them home) for as long as we need her is comforting.
If you are on the fence, go see Hannah. Do yourself and your pup a favor.

Hannah is amazing! After sending my pup away once and he was still stuck in his ways, Hannah assured me that we can get him to where I want to be. I walked in with my super spooked out Doberman 3 weeks ago, and left with a dog who has more confidence and is so much more obedient. I never thought my year old dobie would be able to exist around other people and dogs just 3 weeks ago. I was hesitant since I already had my dog in another training and it didn’t do much, but Hannah was understanding, has so much knowledge, professional, and keeps you updated through the whole process. If you’re thinking about training and want to see real results, K9 Blueprint is it.
Thank you so much Hannah! Vito loves you and your team!
