Puppy Development

At All About K9 we believe early socialization is key to a life of a well balanced dog. This session is a great way to establish a strong bond between you and your canine friend. We will focus on house training, crate training, bit inhibition (so puppy develops soft mouth) ,collar and leash basics,problem solving, and any other questions that a new puppy owner may have. In addition you will receive written information for your use at home. Call today to get your puppy started on the right paw.


Behavior Modification

Every behavior a dog exhibits is natural but sometimes these behaviors conflict with what we would like the dog to do.
We offer programs for behavior modification in dog to dog aggression,human aggression,shyness,separation anxiety,
house breaking,destructiveness,(chewing,digging,jumping, and general unruliness) and many more. We get excellent results in severe behavior cases.Great results depend crucially on the owners willingness to participate in the training and behavior modification process and to implement the program at home and follow the instructions of the trainer.

What is In-Board Training & Why should I consider it?
There are three phases to training your dog: The teaching phase, the correction phase, and the proofing phase. The teaching phase is where we teach the dog the association between a command and a physical action on the dog's part (for example, to sit). The correction phase is where we teach the dog that the obedience commands are not optional, and he must do them the first time we give a command. The proofing phase is where we expose the dog to all manner of new environments, and distractions.

The most difficult phases are the first two phases. First of all, you must be consistent, and provide countless opportunities for repetition (practice, practice, practice) to enable the dog to make a strong and permanent association between the commands and the actions on each of the commands taught. In this phase we must be sensitive to the dog's temperament and personality, and be both psychologist and motivator, helping the dog to understand. Problem solving skills are crucial on the part of the trainer, and having the time available to devote is also critical. In the correction phase we must teach the dog corrections, how to respond to them and the same principles of time, patience and consistency are necessary.

In-board training, also called in-kennel training, means your dog stays with the professionals at All About K9 and they take your dog through the first two phases of training. YOUR JOB is then to maintain the training. Included at no additional cost in our in-board program is a two day turnover where we teach you how to maintain the training your dog has received and how to intregrate them into your daily routine and lifestyle.Also, we include free follow-up lessons in which we show you how to handle your dog, properly reinforce his behavior, and what to do when he makes mistakes. You are entitled to free follow-up training for the life of your dog. Any time you have a question or a problem, whether it is related to our training or not, you may return for free private lessons. In short, you get all the support you need.

The most frequently asked question is: If you guys do the training, will my dog only listen to you? The answer is a resounding NO! Think about this: Who trains guide dogs for the handicapped? Professionals do, then the recipients are shown how to work with the dogs once they are trained. Who trains the majority of Police K-9's? Professionals do and then the officer is shown how to work with the dog and maintain his training. Our In-board program simply does the same thing for the pet owner. And on top of it all, we GUARANTEE our work! You won't regret making this easy on yourself.
