OUR COMMITMENT: REAL RESULTS FOR YOU AND YOUR DOG

Your success is our mission. At K9 Ready we forge powerful partnerships between owners and their dogs, using expert, personalized training to build trust and achieve real results. We are relentlessly committed to strengthening your bond, guiding you toward a happier, more harmonious life with your dog.

Our goal at K9 Ready is simple: to help you and your dog live better together. We specialize in resolving everyday behavioral issues, from poor leash manners and reactivity to separation anxiety and unreliable recall. By fostering clear communication, we pave the way for a stronger, more respectful relationship between you and your dog.

As a skilled and certified professional, my passion is fostering clear communication and lasting bonds between dogs and their owners. I am a proud graduate of the Animal Behavior College (ABC), where I honed my understanding of canine behavior and effective training techniques.

My methodology is rooted in a balanced approach, with a strong emphasis on positive reinforcement to build confidence and make learning a rewarding experience, especially when teaching new behaviors. My goal is to empower you with the tools and knowledge to not only achieve your training goals but also to cultivate a joyful, lifelong partnership with your dog.

OUR SERVICES

Dog obedience training is the process of teaching a dog to reliably respond to commands and behave in a socially acceptable manner. At its core, it's about establishing clear communication and a leadership role with the dog.

PUPPY TRAINING

Puppy training is the critical process of setting the foundation for a well-behaved, confident, and social adult dog. Unlike formal obedience for older dogs, it prioritizes essential life skills during the puppy's crucial developmental window.

Basic commands like "sit" and "come" are introduced through short, fun, and positive-reinforcement-based sessions. The overall goal is not perfection, but to build a strong bond and proactively shape a happy, well-adjusted canine companion from the very start.

START LEARNING FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME

  • Socialization: Safely exposing the puppy to a wide variety of new people, vaccinated dogs, sounds, and environments to prevent fear and aggression later in life.

  • House-Training (Potty Training): Establishing a consistent routine of frequent potty breaks, crate training, and positive reinforcement to teach the puppy where it's appropriate to eliminate.

  • Bite Inhibition: Teaching the puppy to control the pressure of its mouth and redirecting common nipping and chewing behaviors onto appropriate toys.
