Our Training Programs

Board and Train

Immerse your dog in professional training while they stay with Walker K-9, then get an at-home handoff so you can keep the progress going. Alumni dogs are eligible for boarding in a safe, structured, familiar environment with required vaccines on file.

Puppy Training

Start your pup right with balanced, age-appropriate foundations—focus, leash manners, and clear routines that make learning fun. You’ll get simple, consistent homework so good habits take root at home from day one.

Obedience Training

Build reliable obedience with a plan tailored to your dog’s personality and your daily life. Expect clear communication, structure, and owner coaching so sit, down, place, heel, and recall hold up in real-world settings.

Behavior Modification

Address unwanted behaviors with a balanced approach that emphasizes structure, consistency, and clear communication. The plan is customized to your dog and includes owner education so improvements last.
