PUPPY BOARDING SCHOOL

Give your puppy the best start possible. Our tiniest clients, 8-16 weeks old, will get started with crate training, potty training, obedience positions and being on leash. The most exciting part of puppy training are the engagement sessions. Your puppy will participate in 4-5 engagement sessions per day. This develops the puppy’s ability to pay attention to YOU without commands. It’s fun for everyone and creates a strong foundation for future training. We also head out for adventure walks allowing your puppy to explore its new world.

Puppy Privates

In Home and In Facility

We offer private lessons in your home and at our training facility. Whether you want to be more involved in your dog’s training, have a specific issue you need help with or your dog doesn’t prefer a group setting, one-on-one sessions are a great way to go. We focus on teaching one skill per lesson so we can move to the next step during each visit.

DAY TRAINING

Our Day Training program is a convenient way to get your dog started on the path to great manners. Your dog will join us Monday through Friday for training, play time and pack walks. On Friday you will have a private lesson with your dog and continue working on their skills at home. We offer both 5-day and 10-day Day Training packages.

BOARDING SCHOOL

From Good Dog to Super Dog we offer multiple programs for older puppies and dogs. From walking nicely on leash to off leash reliability we have a program to fit all of your goals. Your dog will receive 1-4 weeks of focused training, field trips for real life practice as well as play time and enrichment activities. Boarding School programs also include private sessions for you with your dog and everyone will be ready to head home with a new set of skills.

Follow Up Lessons

All of our training programs are designed to teach your dog all the appropriate training first and then teach the pet parents to ensure 100% training consistency. All of our training programs include follow-up lessons for you and your family to learn directly from one of our trainers how to enforce all the training your dog learned in the facility during their program at home! We make sure all pet parents leave this facility feeling confident in reinforcing their dogs training outside of our facility.

Advanced Obedience

Our 1-4 week advanced program will continue reinforcing the material taught in the foundation program with additional distractions while adding advanced commands. 


This program can include a sit stay, down stay and a recall. The program is great way to not only advance your dogs obedience, but also continue with your dogs socialization.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What kind of dog do we train and why?

    At Lakeshore K9 we do not train dogs because they are bad or naughty.  We believe all the dogs we train are amazing family pets that lack structure and consistency due to busy day to day distractions of real life.  The reason we train dogs is to give their humans' a better way to consistently communicate with them on a daily basis.

  • How do our training programs work?

    Our programs are designed to allow the certified trainers at Lakeshore K9 to teach and condition the behaviors you need your pet to perform daily.  At the end of the program our certified trainers will train each family member how to reinforce what your pet has learned in a one on one lesson.  

  • Why do we structure our programs like this?

    This method of training enables your dog to learn from a professional with consistency, appropriate timing, and constant motivation.  It also makes for a fun stress free one on one lesson with the human because your pet has already learned the new rules.
