K9 Training Programs
Leadership. Obedience. Balance.
Training is not just about teaching commands. It is about creating a clear relationship between you and your dog built on leadership, trust, and communication.
Dogs thrive when they understand structure, boundaries, and expectations. Without leadership, dogs develop confusion, anxiety, and unwanted behaviors. With proper training, they become calm, focused, obedient companions capable of functioning confidently in your home and in public.
Civil Guard K9 teaches both you and your dog how to work together successfully.As a certified dog trainer, I have completed formal education and training to provide the best possible care for your dog. I am dedicated to using only positive reinforcement techniques to ensure your dog is happy and healthy.
Training Philosophy
Dogs learn through clear communication, consistency, and leadership. Our training methods focus on helping the dog understand their role while teaching owners how to properly guide and reinforce correct behavior.
We teach:
- Engagement and focus
- Leash obedience and handler control
- Basic and advanced obedience
- Behavior correction and modification
- Calmness and impulse control
- Real-world obedience in everyday environments
The goal is a dog that listens willingly and respects your leadership.
