SFK9 Dog Training

The way our program works, and of course why it is so successful, is that your dog actually lives with our trainers and their pack during the training, and quickly learns that this is not just a passing phase, but is a whole new way of life. This method of training not only gives a firm basic obedience foundation but also focuses on behavior modification- including annoying bad habits, socialization problems, anxiety issues and other concerns that simply cannot be addressed during basic obedience classes or lessons. Our board and train program is much more personal and effective than other options available as it is done in a home setting and gives your pup dedicated attention 24/7. We have found that training conducted in a home setting and in other real life circumstances, rather than just a kennel, training center, or retail store, transfers into the owner's homes and lives much easier. Most owners don't plan on living in a kennel, training center, or retail store, so it doesn't make much sense to teach your dog how to behave only when they are in one. We understand that you want your dog to be a dog and a functioning part of your family. he basis and success of our training methods center around teaching each dog how to be a functioning part of the family and household. Our children are participants in the training of every dog. Why? Because our children are part of the family and part of the way our household functions, we expect our own dogs as well as those we train to understand that and to respect that. Learning to respect all members of our household makes transitioning their newly learned behavior back into their owner’s home almost effortless
