They offer three main training options:
– In‑Home Training for personalized sessions in your own environment
– Board & Train, an immersive residential program
– Group Classes & Seminars for socialization and basic obedience

Their Board & Train programs include:
– Puppy Boot Camp (3+ weeks): covers obedience, leash manners, crate training, and social skills for pups up to 6 months (starting at $4,500)
– Basic Obedience (3 weeks): real-world focus with owner participation options (starting at $3,000)
– Behavioral Modification (3+ weeks): specializes in issues like aggression, fear, jumping; includes up to 5 days of owner training (starting at $6,000)

Group classes focus on obedience and socialization, giving dogs experience with distractions and peer interaction. Seminars teach canine behavior and handling techniques. These are ideal for puppies and adults needing a refresher.

They utilize a balanced method combining positive reinforcement with structured guidance. Trainers are experienced in interpreting canine body language to properly adjust techniques for each dog.

Training improves household harmony by reducing behaviors like jumping, reactivity, or wandering. It also strengthens the bond between dog and owner and ensures a safer, more enjoyable life for both.

Reactive dog training focuses specifically on addressing behaviors such as lunging, barking, growling, or anxiety toward dogs, people, or other triggers. Rather than traditional obedience, it targets emotional reactivity through desensitization, counter-conditioning, and structured socialization. K9 Clubhouse offers personalized, results-driven programs in this specialized area.

Two primary pathways:
– In‑Home Training: Private sessions in your own environment to directly address triggers and manage reactivity within real-world contexts.
– Board & Train (Behavioral Modification): A 3+ week immersive board and train focused on serious behavior issues—including aggression or reactivity—followed by owner participation days.

The process begins with a behavioral assessment, followed by custom training sessions—typically 2 hours per visit—at your home. Trainers focus on your dog’s specific triggers and teach you practical management techniques. Ongoing support is available through follow-up sessions. There’s also a $40 travel fee per appointment.

Yes. K9 Clubhouse’s team is experienced in behavioral issues like reactivity, anxiety, and aggression. They use a balanced, positive-reinforcement approach customized to each dog, ensuring safety and effectiveness throughout training.

Reactive dog training specifically targets behaviors like lunging, barking, and growling—typically driven by fear, frustration, or overstimulation. It employs techniques such as desensitization and counter-conditioning, often paired with high-value rewards, to gradually reshape your dog’s emotional response to triggers.

They offer two main pathways:
– In-Home Training: One-on-one sessions in your home to assess triggers and teach real-world management and coping strategies.
– Board & Train (Behavioral Modification): A 3+ week residential program at the facility with daily immersive work, structured routines, socialization, and up to 5 owner training days at the end.

During the 3+ week Behavioral Modification program, your dog lives in a distraction-controlled environment and receives intensive training in emotional regulation. This includes focused counter-conditioning, socialization, and consistent routines. Owners participate for up to five days to ensure smooth transition and real-life application at home.

K9 Clubhouse employs:
– Desensitization: Gradually exposing dogs to triggers from a distance where they remain calm and progressively decreasing it.
– Counter-conditioning: Pairing triggers with high-value rewards (treats, toys, praise) to shift emotional associations from fear to positivity.
– Impulse control exercises and structured attention work, such as “look at that” or engagement games, to build focus and self-regulation.

Yes—owner participation is essential. With In-Home Training, owners learn hands-on strategies to manage reactivity in everyday settings. In the Board & Train program, owners attend up to five days of follow-up training to learn and implement techniques alongside trainers. Continued support and tailored behavior plans are provided to ensure long-term success.

Our Puppy Classes are designed for puppies between 8 weeks and 6 months old. This age range is ideal for building foundational obedience skills and encouraging proper socialization.

The program lasts six weeks, with one group session per week. This consistent schedule helps reinforce learning while giving puppies time to practice new skills between classes.
