Training at your home
$575.00
At K9 Play and Train, we bring the training to your home because that is where the issues lie. We go beyond teaching basic obedience and handing out certificates; we delve into the behavioral issues faced by both you and your family with your dogs. Our approach also considers the challenges your dog encounters with the people in their life. By helping owners understand how their dog perceives the human world, we provide insights into why they react the way they do. We involve everyone who plays a significant role in your dog's life, including the whole family, sitters, walkers, and housemates. Our comprehensive approach addresses everyone's concerns and the dynamics within the dog's environment. We assess all dogs in the household to determine the best strategies for overcoming challenges and enhancing their strengths. Additionally, we educate you on actions that may be contributing to your dog's behavioral issues and recommend ways to alleviate their stress. By evaluating the environment from your dog's perspective, we identify areas where minor adjustments can lead to significant improvements without disrupting your routine. Our goal is to help you foster a stronger bond with your dog and create a fulfilling life that aligns with your initial expectations when welcoming a canine companion into your home.
