AND MORE

Gillian's K9 Academy specializes in puppy training, on and off leash obedience, behavior modification, and service dog training. We have over a decade of dog training experience, and know the best ways to get you and your dog on the right track. We utilize training techniques that are endorsed by organizations like the International Association of Canine Professionals and the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors. Gillian's K9 Academy trainers are educated in all methods of dog training. We do not believe one particular method of training works for every single dog and human. Our methods work to get you the best results. Lessons and programs are fully customized to what you are looking for in training. We understand that every dog is unique. That's why we tailor our sessions to meet the specific needs of your dog. We take the time to understand you AND your dog's individual strengths, weaknesses, preferences, and personalities. This is very different from other trainers, who often use 'cookie cutter' methods and training plans. Let's unlock your dog's full potential and embark on an exciting journey of growth and learning!

​

• We offer board and train programs that are designed to keep you included in your dogs training, even though they will be learning with us. We have integrated owners training with their dogs into our board and train program so that you can learn about what your dog is learning as well. That way we can help ensure training is successful for both dogs and their owners.
