How you would like your "perfect" dog to behave?
We can help you get there.
Let our experienced, professional trainers help and experience the Blazing Trails K9 difference today. Our head trainer has been training dogs since 1985 and is IACP certified.
Specializing in aggressive behavior, we can help with a wide variety of problems and work with dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes.
We offer in-home behavior modification or private sessions, affordable and flexible group classes, and in-kennel/board and train packages for those that don't want to become trainers themselves.
We cover the Antelope Valley and most of the Santa Clarita Valley.
Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Do your homework! There is no licensing needed to hang a shingle and become a professional trainer. You simply need a business name and license and away you go. You can even purchase a trained dog and claim to have trained him yourself. So it's important to ask a lot of questions! Plus, there are as many styles of dog training as there are styles of parenting, so asking questions helps you find the trainer that is best suited to you and your dog.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. Our experience speaks for itself. There are many out there who decide they "love dogs" and after perhaps watching a TV show, they hang a shingle and start charging the public. They don't always have the experience behind them to back up their work. We do. We specialize in aggressive behavior and yet we've worked with dogs long enough (since 1985) to be able to help a variety of problems, and to be able to adapt to each individual dog and handler.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. I enjoy the dogs but I also really enjoy meeting new people and being able to help them. Many people think that all you have to do to do well in this industry is love dogs. But since working with pet owners makes up the majority of the work, you have to enjoy people as well. And we do!
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. How much do you charge? My answer is "you do get what you pay for". We are not the cheapest out there, but we do charge a fair price for the work we do and the experience we have.
Can you help me with _______ (fill in the blank) problem? Most likely yes. If we can't, we'll tell you and may be able to refer to somebody who can. And we've worked with some strange problems, so more then likely anything your dog could do is not a surprise to us!
Do you come to me? This depends on the program. We can come to you, or you can come to us.
