OBEDIENCE & MANNERS PROGRAMS
Our private obedience and manners programs offer a multitude of tools to help reach your dog's best potential!Learn how to successfully teach, handle, and communicate with your dog while working on good manners, impulse control, and distractions.
We commonly address issues such as: pulling, not coming when called, jumping, barking, impulse control, and more!
We are happy to incorporate any specific goals and help troubleshoot problem areas as part of your training program.
We encourage family members (including kids!) to take part in lessons to insure consistency within the household.
We recommend 3 lessons for trouble shooting, 5 lessons for a good foundation, 8 lessons for a more intensive training experience (especially for impulse control), and 12 lessons for an all around education plus real world training!
If your dog shows signs of fear, anxiety, reactivity, compulsion, or aggression please inquire about our BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION SERVICES so we can best help address your dog's emotional needs. Behavior services incorporate a hybrid approach of confidence building exercises, coping skills, acclimation protocols, and obedience and manners training.

COOPER'S MOM!
Signing up for classes with K9ology was one of the best decisions I made! I was a bit hesitant about starting my puppy in classes so young, but after 12 weeks of private training and one group class under our belt, I could not be happier with the foundation we have- worth every penny!
Charlotte is truly an expert and helps explain the science behind the trainings, and had helpful suggestions for every question/scenario.
