Training Programs

Available Training Options
The following training programs are designed to teach dogs and owners at different levels. In order for all of our programs to be successful, it is imperative for owner(s) to work at home to change patterns and behaviors as instructed by the trainer. Your willingness to incorporate the obedience commands into everyday life, as instructed by your trainer, is crucial for success. The time and energy you invest will determine how much you and your dog are able to accomplish. The following is a breakdown of what each training program offers you and your dog.

**FREE** K9 Evaluation
Are you uncertain of what program meets your needs? We offer an optional, FREE evaluation to assist you. This is a private session with you, your dog and a professional trainer, lasting approximately 45 minutes. During this session several questions will be asked to gather information on your dog’s background, learn what training goals you have for you and your dog and the time frame desired. At this time we will also observe the interactions of your dog. This will assist us in determining your dog’s personality and temperament so we will be able to recommend a training program that best suits both you and your dog’s needs.

Building the relationship you've dreamed of!

No one brings a dog home in hopes of adding stress to the household; having a dog that jumps on your guests, pulls you down the street, eats food off of the counters and races out the front door with you chasing after him.

We dream of a dog being a true companion to us, taking our dog places with us, going for peaceful walks in the neighborhood, playing ball or hiking in the park and having our dog be a happy part of our day to day lives.

Private Lessons
One on one, exclusive time dedicated to you and your dog, tailored to your specific needs. Private lessons ensure your dog will be the focus of the trainer’s attention at all times. These sessions can be used to continue building upon an already established training program foundation or to begin establishing obedience with your dog. You’ll have the freedom to choose when, the frequency and where the sessions will take place based on your availability and goals.
Rate ranges from $75-$150 per session. Note: Rate does not apply to dogs with aggression.
Private lessons can be purchased in a package or session by session. Rates determined during evaluation is based on training goals and number of lessons scheduled in advance.

Do you have two dogs in need of training? Ask your trainer about our "Share a Session" program. If your dogs are eligible, you may be able to train two dogs during the same private lesson for only an additional $15 per session. Applicable to On Leash Private Lessons Only!

Specializing in Results- NKYK9 can help!
And best of all, your dog will have FUN while learning!

Residency Programs - (Day Camp or Boarding School)
If you and your family can’t stand to part with your dog for the length of the training program we offer day camp for each of the programs. Simply drop your dog off in the morning and pick them up after work. Your dog will be trained during their stay with us and all the training will be transitioned to you at the end of the training program.

Have you run out of patience or need your dog trained quickly? Do you have a busy, hectic schedule that may not allow for you to do the training your canine companion needs? Perhaps you just feel more comfortable putting your pooch’s training in the hands of a professional? A residency program may be just the thing for you. Your dog will be trained in a variety of environments, including with outside distractions and in real life situations. 

Going on vacation or out of town for a business trip? Consider sending your dog to school while you're away. Vacation with the peace of mind knowing your canine companion is not only in great hands but also learning new manners and come home to a well-behaved dog!
