Well Mannered K9 provides training for all dog breeds, including those with unique behavioral challenges, ensuring every dog and their human companion receives the guidance they need. 

As a balanced trainer, I use a blend of methods to address each dog's unique needs. This includes positive reinforcement, as well as corrections and redirection techniques. My goal is to create a balanced, effective approach that fosters a harmonious relationship between you and your dog. 

While early training is beneficial, dogs of any age can learn new skills and behaviors with the right approach! If you're facing a specific challenge, give us a call. We would be happy to discuss personalized training options for your dog. 

Training sessions are conducted in the comfort of your home, providing a familiar environment for your dog to learn effectively.

Each session typically lasts between 1 to 1.5 hours. The number of sessions needed will vary based on your dog's learning pace and the consistency of practice within your household. 

No—successful training requires consistent effort and practice from the dog owner. Your commitment to reinforcing learned skills is essential to achieving lasting results. 

Well Mannered K9 has been serving dog owners since 2015, providing expert training tailored to each dog's unique needs. 

In 2015, DJ attended the National K-9 Learning Center, earning certification as a professional dog trainer. Her training included comprehensive coursework in Basic and Advanced Obedience, Behavior Modification, Breed Identification, Puppy Development, Tracking, Scent Detection, Retrieval, Personal Protection, Utility, and Assistance Dog Training.

Well Mannered K9 specializes in individualized training tailored to each dog's needs. However, I do offer group training specifically for therapy dogs through Caring K9s.
