  • K9 Connect’s Board and Train program is built to fit your dog and your lifestyle. We focus on proofing obedience, teaching your dog to understand e-collar communication, socializing them appropriately in the real world and transferring the understanding of their training directly to you.

    Our Board and Train program is heavy on owner involvement - we feel it is the key to lasting success and long term change in behavior. As we teach and train your dog, we are also teaching and training you to understand everything your dog has learned and how to apply it.

    Our goal is for your dog to be able to enjoy all the world has to offer, and for you to be able to enjoy it with them.

    During Board and Train your dog will master sit/stay , down/stay , off-leash recall and heel ( commands dependent on individual needs of dog ). They will enjoy socialization and dog play if appropriate, training outings to proof their obedience in the real world, training sessions thorough the day as well as play sessions.

    We will focus on building the specific skillset that YOUR dog need to succeed in the world. This means teaching and training new skills as well as working through existing hard behaviors such as reactivity, aggression, resource guarding and more. Our goal is the long success and happiness of both you and your dog.
