Training Programs

At K9 Behavior college we fully believe in Cesar Millan's philosophy of trust, resect and love when it comes to dog and human relationships. Dogs can be well trained but still have anxiety, obsession, insecurity and other psychological issues that lead to many bad behaviors. Our intention is never to simply "correct bad behavior" but instead to form a stronger bond and connection with our dogs. The ultimate goal is a calm, happy, balanced dog, and a mutually trusting and respectful relationship.

K9BC's trainers have proven track records of success with just about any issue, from severe anxiety to red-zone aggression. Our specialized dog training programs are designed to truly fulfill your dog's needs - while building confidence and clear communication on both sides. We offer Board and Train, In-Home Training, and Virtual Training, but we can also create a custom training program designed especially for you and your dog's specific challenges.

Not sure which program is right for you? Set up a free consultation so we can assess your dog and help determine your training needs.

In-Home Intervention Program

Our most popular service is our intensive In-Home Intervention Program. This includes 3 to 5 consecutive 4-hour days with you and your dog, working through all behavioral issues, creating a new foundation and relationship. 
This is designed for dog owners that want to be fully involved in the training  process, while still receiving a deeply immersive and intensive program. During these sessions we are teaching you as much as your dog. You will work hand in hand with Lisa to tackle every psychological and behavioral issue, gaining knowledge that will greatly impact your relationship with your dog. We will teach you body language, how to communicate and give direction, and how to utilize different training tools and techniques. 
We will work in your home to start, tackling as many training scenarios as possible, such as mealtimes, setting boundaries in the house, going on walks, greeting guests, and more. Then we move to training at parks, stores, and restaurants, working through real world training challenges in public. This program will show you a new way of living, as you build new routines and activities, in many different environments, setting the foundation for the rest of your dog's life.

Board and Train Program

​​K9BC offers a 3-8 week Boarding and Training Program for dogs with severe behavior challenges, and for those needing to build a more thorough training foundation, such as a new puppy or rescue dog.

Our intensive dog boarding and training programs are designed to address these core issues of insecurity, low self-esteem, lack of self control, anxiety, and more, providing true rehabilitation. Dogs spend their stay in a home setting at our property in Atascadero CA, where we can best simulate the dogs regular environment.  

Dog owners meet with us several times during this process for private training sessions. Durning these sessions we go over progress, while educating owners about dog psychology, teaching about tools, practicing technique and more. By including owners in our training process, we are teaching the owners as much as the dog. As a result, we ensure that progress will continue within the home environment. Let us show you a better way of living with your dog that isn't time consuming, frustrating or negative. Once we learn to understand and communicate with our dogs, we can give them what they truly need. The rest is simple!

Virtual Training Program

Our Virtual Training Program allows us to help clients outside of our service area, and is a more available option for those needing immediate help as most of our in person programs are booked out several months in advance. This is also a great option if you simply want to get to know us before booking an in person program.

These one-to-one training sessions will give you the same knowledge and expertise that we provide during our in-home training, but through FaceTime or Zoom. You will receive a customized training plan along with continued phone or online support as needed. Virtual trainings are 90 minutes for the first session and 60 minutes for follow up sessions. Please contact us for more information or to set up your virtual training session.
