At the National K-9 Learning Center, nothing makes us happier than seeing owners enjoying their dogs to the fullest. Since our founding in 1975, it has been our goal to offer quality education programs for all dogs, regardless of breed, and their families. We are dedicated to helping families to improve their relationship with their dogs.

At National K-9 we think of obedience training as dog education. In fact, we believe that obedience training is as important to dogs as elementary education is to children. We believe that your relationship with your dog should be based on fair and effective communication. This sound communication is the key to improving and enhancing your family’s relationship with your dog. We want your dog to be "Your Best Friend" and we know the best way to accomplish this is through comprehensive obedience training and owner education.

National K-9 is committed to providing you and your dog with the best training and counseling available. At National K-9 each dog and family will receive the personal attention they deserve. Your dog’s training is based on its individual personality, past and present behavior, aptitude for learning, breed characteristics, social development, and most importantly your family’s goals. We understand that not each dog can fit into a singular “method” of training and therefore at National K-9, we have the ability to modify your dog’s training based on your dog and your goals. Your dog’s training will be designed to teach your dog useful obedience commands, good manners, and acceptable behavior patterns. Your dog’s training would not be complete without you, the owner, learning how to properly handle and effectively communicate with your dog.

Although we recommend beginning your dog's training as early as possible, dogs of all ages are able to learn at National K-9. Most dogs are ready to begin training as early as 14 to 16 weeks of age. Upon completion of a free pre-enrollment evaluation, our certified trainers will advise you as to whether or not your dog is ready for training.

National K-9 has training programs and options to meet most budgets. The advantage of working one on one with a trainer is that each dog is approached and trained according to his/her personality type, behavior problems (if any), and family’s goals, thus making it more cost effective.

We provide residency program discounts for families who wish to have multiple dogs trained or have had a dog trained at National K-9 in the past. National K-9 also honors the Golden Buckeye Card. Our staff trainers will explain in detail your training options and the cost involved during your free pre-enrollment evaluation.
