About
We work with all types of companion/pet dogs to bring peace and mutual respect back to the human/canine relationship. We specialize in stubborn dog-reactive cases that have not responded to other training methodologies, off-leash recall, leash manners, loose leash walking, and heeling. We can train specialized behaviors at your request (picking up items off the floor and bringing them to your hand, etc). We train basic obedience as a part of any board and train program. We train a reliable off-leash recall along with other e-collar training if desired. We train all breeds and sizes. We do behavior modification for problems such as: leash manners, reactivity, game chasing, bratty behavior, jumping up on people, nuisance barking, digging, etc. Improving the life of both people and their dogs by facilitating the changes dog owners so desperately want, and the shift in leadership that dogs so desperately need.

I sent my very reactive Yorkie to board and train with Josh at King K9 and I got an entirely different dog back! I went on a walk with him a little after he was brought home and was amazed at the difference! He ignored other dogs and listened to my commands. I can't thank Josh enough!!

Joshua is an excellent, balanced dog trainer, a consummate professional who has the ability to size up a dog and handler quickly and then recommend strategies and protocols to address the issues at hand. His quiet demeanor gave both my dog and me the confidence we needed to move through our reactivity issues. I highly recommend Joshua and King K9 Academy.

Every time I try to write about how much I appreciate Josh's help with my dog Parker, I get emotional and dramatic. So I will try and keep it simple. Josh is very responsive - I need some advise in an urgent situation and he answered my inquiry and within in a week came to my home to evaluate the situation. He provided solutions and follow up coaching with phone calls. Then we set up a plan to have Parker visit for a 6 week rehab. Josh spent time understanding my situation, what I needed for Parker, and came up with a plan. Now, I have a dog that I can walk in public, and know how to work with to help Parker make better decisions and be less reactive. Both Parker and I are so much happier and I am so very grateful to Josh for his help!!

I've known Josh for a while through dog sports, and always found him to be very approachable, willing to help, and constantly striving to improve his dog training skills by learning from the top dog trainers in the country. Thus, Josh was the best person I could think of to help me when I have having issues with dog-dog fights and aggression in my own household. I knew this was not an issue that could be resolved to simple "click and treat" type positive training, or by just "letting them work it out." Josh helped me lay out a solid game plan, with a step by step process that includes both obedience, and corrections for poor behavior, to build up to resolving this issue. He answered any questions or concerns I had, and has given me confidence that I am working toward a good result This was very important, because dog-dog aggression can be overwhelming, scary, and downright dangerous. I have great confidence in Josh's dog-training knowledge and dog training skills, and he is very compassionate and well-informed about the most effective, and modern dog training protocols. I am eager to see the results from implementing Josh's suggestions, and am now well on the way to getting me and my dogs' lives back to a happy, cohesive normal.
