About Town and Country K9

Our TCK9 Training Experts have the tools and resources needed to train dogs effectively. So, if you’re looking for the ultimate dog training program, look no further than Town and Country K9 dog training. Most of us lead pretty hectic lives. We work long hours, have numerous commitments, and often don’t have extra time to devote to dog training. That’s where our expert services come in. Town and Country K9 (TCK9) was established as a result of a lifelong passion and dedication to training dogs and bridging the gap of miscommunication between them and their owners. Every training package is customized based on your needs and goals to build a stable, confident bond between you and your dog.

Training & services

Training goals

  • Behavior consultation
    Program details

    Aggression issues plague many dog households. Often aggression falls heavily on communication issues. Dogs get confused about what is expected of them and take it upon themselves to interpret their response to situations and interactions.

  • Puppy training
    Program details

    Training a puppy requires a lot of time, patience, and consistency. It’s not something that you can just half-heartedly do and hope for the best. A professional puppy trainer will have the knowledge, experience, and expertise to help your puppy learn the necessary skills and behaviors.

Behavior support

  • Aggression training
    Program details

    Our trainers will work with dogs that are aggressive toward people and or other animals. Such dogs may snarl, snap, or even attack. Our animal behaviorist will first identify the cause of aggression, which can include fear, dominance, insecurity, and much more.

  • Reactivity training

How training happens

  • Board and train
    Program details

  • Obedience Training
    Program details

    The “basics” are never as basic as many believe. The “basics” must be the foundation the dog can fall back on under stress and when in a state of the drive. As with all things – the stronger the foundation the stronger the structure.

  • Off-leash
    Program details

    As with children, not all dogs are the same. As not all children can play professional sports, not all dogs can be obedience demonstration dogs. We will bring out the best in your dog. We do not compare kids, nor do we compare dogs.

After struggling for over a year with my reactive dog and going through various trainers i found Jake at Town & Country K9. My dog spent 3 weeks with Jake and came away with obedience and non-reactivy. Jake integrated the training into his household and public places. He supervised her playing with another dog for the first time since I had gotten her. She could not have been happier. Jake also educated me on continuous training and proper use of tools. He is always available for any questions. I will be forever grateful to Town and Country K9 for the better life me and my dog now have. Diane

We can’t thank Jake Fraser enough for the transformation he has done for our pup Lady! The two of them worked their butts off and it shows! I can’t wait to see what the continued practice and reinforcement is going to do for our pup and our family ❤️

We worked with Town and Country K9 this summer, and it was by far the best decision we have ever made as dog owners. We worked with Jake, and he was incredible. We have a German Shepherd named Shadow whom we rescued in February. She is between two and three. We reached out to Town and Country K9 in June because she could not ride in a car without screaming (not barking, screaming!), she was incredibly reactive on her leash, and because we needed help managing her separation anxiety. The team at Town and Country K9 responded to our inquiry right away, and we knew from our first conversation that we were going to be in great hands with Jake. We signed Shadow up for the three-week program, and she ended up staying for six weeks (four weeks in the program and two weeks of boarding). Jake was the best. He communicated with us daily with photos and updates, often sending us videos that were super informative and gave us insight into the methods behind his training. It was clear that Shadow loved being with him, felt safe with him and trusted him, and that in turn meant the world to us. Since Shadow has been home, she is still her same sweet affectionate self, but is a completely different dog in terms of the challenges we experienced before. She is much more comfortable in the car, she has good leash habits, and the training Jake did with her has given her the confidence to move through the world as her best self! Not only has Shadow benefitted from her time with Jake, but my wife and I have grown tremendously as dog owners. On the day Shadow came home, Jake spent over six hours with us, talking us through the philosophy behind his approach to training, helping us work with Shadow on her leash and guiding us to give commands and corrections effectively, and even coming with us to the house we were about to move into to offer suggestions for where to set up Shadow's crate. Shadow has been home for over a month now and we still text with Jake regularly to ask questions about how to best take care of Shadow. Town and Country K9 is worth every penny, and we will be forever grateful to Jake for his amazing work with Shadow and with us.

Our 5 month old Labrador was struggling to listen to us on walks. She had confidence issues when interacting with other dogs and was afraid to go up and down stairs. After spending 10 days with Jake it was like we were getting a different dog back. She is now very easy to handle on walks and goes up and down the stairs with no issues. Jake also sent my wife videos and photos of Ivy everyday, which put her at ease knowing she was happy, and it was very apparent Ivy adored Jake. Can't recommend him enough. 10/10 training!

I got a second Shiba Inu, but my first only wanted to kill him! I had to keep them separate, take them out one at a time. I knew I couldn’t live like this. Until I contacted Jake. He took my babies one by one and then together. He put so much time and effort into training and teaching them to coexist! Jake is a miracle worker!! I am forever grateful ♥️. Jake, thank you!!!
