Training with John K9

Our training is built around one clear goal: a confident dog who responds reliably on or off leash in real life—not just during lessons. Whether you choose Private Lessons, Day Train, or Board & Train, each program follows the same proven process and works toward the same finished results. The difference is simply how much hands-on support you want along the way.

All three core programs include lifetime refresher lessons after graduation and a 20% lifetime discount on boarding, so your dog’s training stays maintained and supported long term.

Beyond our core programs, we also offer group classes and sport training for dogs and owners who want to build skills, confidence, and engagement in a structured, supportive setting.
