Training Programs

Puppy Training

Welcome to Black Beard K9’s Puppy Training Program! The first few months of your puppy’s life are crucial to setting the stage for a lifetime of good behavior, confidence, and positive experiences. Our Puppy Training Program is designed to provide your young dog with the essential skills and social experiences they need to grow into a balanced, well-mannered adult dog.

Board and Train

While this program focuses on obedience-based training we value positive attitude and good behavior over all else. Every day you will be provided with a training log to go over the progress that was made and the plan for the following day. This program runs Monday through Friday.

Behavior Modification

The Behavior Modification Program is designed to address and resolve challenging behavioral issues, including fear-based reactions, aggression, anxiety, and more. Through positive reinforcement, counter-conditioning, and targeted training exercises, we work with your dog to replace undesirable behaviors with calm, confident responses.

Private Training

These 1-on-1 sessions provide personalized guidance, addressing specific behavioral challenges or training goals in a focused and supportive environment. Whether you’re working on basic obedience, tackling reactivity, or refining advanced skills, our experienced trainers will develop a customized plan to help you and your dog succeed.
