About
We offer affordable dog training. 1 on 1 private lessons. We do the same training as bigger places, only we are much smaller with less bills so we can offer the same training for far less. ☺
I personally love being able to help owners understand how to communicate with their dogs. Just seeing the difference in their relationships once they can understand one another. It's highly rewarding.

So far, the training has been excellent. My dogs are learning quickly and she is great with the dogs. Fair pricing for a 1 on 1 style training.

OMG, the best, friendliest and most affordable dogtraining school I've ever been to... Private lessons, fun and interactive activities... Not to mention Mrs Carolyn Kurtz who, for sure, was born to be a trainer : patient, knowledgeable, always giving a great advise for any problems encountered! My puppy, WISKEY, is now a perfect companion... Thank you, Carolyn!

This place is great. Very affordable and the instructor is incredibly knowledgeable. I highly recommend Kurtz K9 to anyone needing affordable, yet professional training for their dog. Night to day difference in just a short time.

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to leave us a review! Your rescue Pitbull, Apollo is such a good boy! We should get him in for refreshers, and maybe teach him some off leash obedience next, so we can take thing to the next level with him. :)

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am far smaller than most places. So I am much more affordable. You can only find group classes cheaper. And those are a one sizes fits all. But we all know no 2 dogs are alike. Just like people they all learn differently.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have my clients have a seat and watch. As soon as their dog understands what were asking I then have my owners join so I can teach them how I did it, what to do and why. Making for reliable consistent training. Training is much more successful this way.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied dog behavoir and modern techniques in dog training at Casey Ray Stl dog trainers. I am a certified professional.
