Our Training Programs: Simple, Effective, and Life-Changing

At Apex K9, we offer a flexible range of programs designed to fit every dog and every owner's schedule and goals.

1. Board & Train Programs

The ultimate jumpstart for serious behavioral changes and foundational obedience. Your dog lives with a professional trainer for an immersive experience.

  • What it includes: Daily structure, multiple training sessions, socialization, and a detailed go-home lesson with follow-up support.
  • Ideal for: Addressing major issues like reactivity, anxiety, aggression, or establishing rock-solid off-leash obedience.

2. Private Coaching Sessions

For owners who want to be hands-on with the training process or need to address specific, minor behavioral quirks.

  • Format: One-hour, one-on-one lessons with you, your dog, and a trainer.
  • Locations: Can be held at our facility, a local park, or in your home (location fees may apply).
  • Topics: Leash manners, recall, house rules, and solving specific problems.

3. Socialization & Group Classes

Building confidence and appropriate interactions is key to a stable dog.

  • Focus: Structured exposure to other dogs, people, and novel environments under expert supervision.
  • Classes Offered: Puppy Socialization (0-5 months) and Beginner Obedience/Proofing (6+ months).

4. Virtual Home Sessions

Get expert help without ever leaving your home! Perfect for new puppies, pre-adoption advice, or addressing in-home issues.

  • What it is: Live video consultations with a trainer.
  • Ideal for: House-training issues, crate training, nipping/chewing, and general Q&A before you bring your new dog home.

Peace of Mind: Training-Aware Daycare & Boarding

Don't let your dog regress while you're away! Our daycare and boarding services are integrated with our training philosophy, providing structure and supervised fun.

Daycare (Daily)

Structured play groups, rest periods, and professional supervision ensure your dog is physically and mentally satisfied, not just exhausted.

Overnight Boarding

Your dog stays in a secure, climate-controlled, home-like environment. We maintain consistent schedules to minimize stress and reinforce the good habits they've learned.

Add-On: Option to include daily mini-training sessions during their stay.
