Why choose FK9 Training?
Brick and Mortar training companies hire contractors who's experience levels can vary greatly. I have worked HUNDREDS of dogs over the course of my K9 career in areas to include explosive detection, obedience, scent imprinting, tracking, and bite work.
My training approach is to work with your dogs natural instincts and prey drive, through motivation and reward based methods. Discover your dogs learning style, and how to fairly hold them accountable for unwanted behavior.

Board and Train
Think of an In-Home Board and Train as a one stop shop solution. I do the hard work for you by getting in the tedious repetitions that will create a solid foundation, AND you will receive weekly zoom calls and practice sessions in your home!
