Service Dog training • This training is not a certification, but it does work through all the strengths and deficiencies your dog currently has and sets a plan to get your dog closer to the goal of being your service companion. We do not certify service dogs. Under the ADA, there is no official service dog certification.
Hunting Companion Training • This training is specific to the companion side of hunting dogs. While we will work on retrieving or scent work, we will also work on obedience, manners and etiquette.
Behavior modification • For dogs showing aggression, anxiety, destructive habits, or other persistent unwanted behaviors. We dig into why the behavior is happening — not just the behavior itself — and create a clear, humane plan to change it and help you maintain progress at home.
Dogs that have already had training at some point and may benefit from a refresher. Dogs that have had very little to no structure. This would be ideal to set boundaries and introduce the behaviors that you want your dog to display.
Our most popular program. Includes everything in 1-Week, plus reliable on-leash obedience: sit, down, stay, heel, come, and place. We build polite manners at home and in public.
Built for dogs who need to be steady outside the house. Everything in 2-Week, plus extended stays, distance commands, off-leash foundation in controlled settings, and public access manners.
For dogs with reactivity, anxiety, aggression, or strong prey/drive issues that need more time to make good choices stick.
This tier is also for owners who want their dog exposed to training and skills aligned with therapy dog training, emotional support training, or a highly dependable canine companion ready to conquer life with you. A full behavior assessment will be done on intake to build a custom plan for your dog to thrive.
All training packages come with follow-up one-on-one sessions as well as unlimited phone and text support. We stand behind our training and with you to create the best relationship possible between you and your dog.
Whatever your needs are, RK9 would love to have a conversation with you to see what works best for you and your trusted companion.
