"James was fantastic with my pup. Would absolutely recommend"

"Nextdoor K9 was awesome. We loved our trainer, Eliza. It was super easy to set up our board and train for both our dogs. Our trainer was great in keeping us updated and went the extra mile to research options that we could use in Germany since they ban the standard ones we use here in the States. 6 months later and both dogs are doing great will there skills still."

"I adopted a 2yr old German Shepherd who had some "stranger danger", socialization, and leash pulling issues. Lindsay and Jen were excellent in getting my Shepherds confidence back and making him used to new people, environments, and other dogs. We took "field trips" to Home Depot, Pet Smart, parks, etc. Throughout the program, we continuously focused on commands and exposing my dog to new environments. With each session we gradually increased his workload/exposure. My shepherd is now full of confidence and ready for his next adventure. Lindsay and Jen took the time each session to understand and study my dog to know what we should work on for the next session. They understand every dog is different and works/responds in different ways. I would highly recommend both Jen and Lindsay!"

FAQ

Common questions

What training method do you use?
We are balanced trainers, meaning we use all four quadrants of operant conditioning (positive and negative reinforcement, positive and negative punishment) to teach your dog according to its individual needs. The goal is a well-rounded, healthy dog.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Adult general obedience programs and beyond come with our Lifetime Guarantee of Trainer Assistance, meaning you have ongoing access to our team after the program ends.
What ages can you train?
We work with puppies through adult dogs. Puppy programs focus on socialization, positive behavior, and potty training; adult programs work obedience, off-leash reliability, reactivity, and aggression.
Is the facility safe and monitored?
Staff are on premises from 5 AM to 10 PM, and the facility is monitored 24 hours a day via security cameras.
Do you take dogs with aggression or reactivity?
Yes — these are core focus areas for our team. We handle reactivity and aggression rehabilitation as dedicated programs.
