K9 Training in Jacksonville FL – Structured Classes for Obedience & Success

At our K9 training facility in Jacksonville, FL, we offer flexible and structured training programs designed to help both dogs and their handlers succeed. Whether you’re working towards basic obedience, advanced training, or specialized K9 skills, our classes provide the structure and support needed for long-term results.

Class Schedule & Attendance Requirements

  • Weekday & Weekend Classes Available – Flexible scheduling to fit busy lifestyles.

  • Attendance: 2 Classes Per Week – Consistency is key to successful training.

  • Make-Up Classes at No Extra Cost – Must notify the instructor in advance of any absences.

Class Preparation & Etiquette

  • Arrive 10 Minutes Early – Time to relieve your dog, gather supplies, and get into the right mindset.

  • Stay Calm & Focused – Dogs pick up on frustration; training time should be a positive bonding experience.

  • No Socializing Between Dogs Before Class – Helps maintain focus and prevents unnecessary distractions.

Commitment to Training = Real Results

To achieve the best results, participants must practice at home for at least 15 minutes twice daily (30 minutes total per day). Reinforcement outside of class is essential—it will be obvious if training isn’t practiced at home!

Since we train owners to train their dogs, success depends on practice and consistency. The more you invest in training, the stronger the bond and results.

 

Continuing Education & Refresher Classes

We believe that training is a lifelong journey, which is why we offer:
2 Free Refresher Classes Per Year – For the life of your dog, once your initial course is completed.
Continuing Education Classes – Available on a per-class basis for additional practice.

Call ahead to reserve a spot in additional classes, as space is limited. The instructor reserves the right to deny participation if prior authorization was not obtained.

Missed Classes & Contract Policy:

  • If more than two consecutive classes are missed without prior arrangements, your training contract becomes void.

  • Training with another organization or trainer while enrolled in our program also voids your contract due to a conflict of interest.

K9 Training in Jacksonville FL – Advanced Obedience Classes

 

Looking to take your dog's training to the next level? Our K9 training facility in Jacksonville, FL offers a structured Advanced Obedience program designed for dedicated handlers ready to refine their dog’s skills. This class focuses on off-leash control, precision obedience, and advanced behavioral reinforcement, ensuring a well-disciplined and responsive canine.

 

Advanced Obedience Class Schedule & Requirements

 

Classes held on Saturday mornings only
One class per week with no additional fee for make-up classes (if notified in advance)
Option to attend a Basic Obedience class as a make-up session

To maximize results, participants must practice at home for at least 15 minutes twice daily (30 minutes total per day). Reinforcement outside of class is crucial—your success depends on consistent training!

Prerequisites for Advanced Obedience

 

Before enrolling, dogs must have completed our Basic Obedience program. However, if your dog has attended a basic obedience course elsewhere and holds an AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification, you may qualify to test into the Advanced Obedience class for an additional fee (pending instructor approval).

Class Expectations & Etiquette

  • Arrive at least 10 minutes early to prepare, relieve your dog, and set up for class.

  • Stay calm and focused – frustration travels down the leash and affects your dog's performance.

  • Training time is bonding time – Advanced Obedience strengthens the relationship between you and your dog.

  • No pre-class socialization between dogs – Many participants are older and may still be intact, making it crucial to respect boundaries for safety.

Refresher & Continuing Education Options

 

2 Complimentary Refresher Classes Per Year – For the lifetime of your dog.
Continuing Education Classes – Available for those who wish to maintain their dog’s training progress (offered per class for an additional fee).

Space is limited, so please call ahead to confirm availability. Instructor approval is required for all additional class participation.

Missed Classes & Contract Policy:

  • If more than two consecutive classes are missed without prior arrangement, your training contract becomes void.

  • Training with another organization or trainer while enrolled in our program also voids your contract due to a conflict of interest.

Advanced Schedule
Protection Schedule

Personal Protection and Business Protection training is done on a private basis. Days and times of training will be scheduled at a mutually convenient time for both the instructor and the handler. Every canine, handler, and situation is different, so the training will be based upon progress. Generally, training will start out two to three times per week, then gradually decrease in frequency. Please call to discuss scheduling in more detail.
