The clock is ticking

The socialization window closes at 16 weeks.
After that, everything gets harder.

Bad habits are forming now

Nipping, jumping, ignoring commands. Every day without structure, these get stronger and harder to fix.

YouTube is making it worse

Conflicting tips, outdated methods, no system. You're trying everything and nothing sticks.

The window is closing

Socialization, confidence, bite inhibition. Miss the first 16 weeks and you spend years fixing what 4 sessions could have prevented.

Your puppy's critical window is open right now.

4 sessions. That's all it takes to set the foundation for a lifetime.

"By 5 months old our puppy was better behaved than most adult dogs we see at the park. Best thing we did as new dog owners."

What Puppy Owners Say

The best investment you can make in your puppy

Best thing we did as new dog owners

We had no idea what we were doing with our first puppy. K9 Academy gave us the structure and confidence we needed. By 5 months old our puppy was better behaved than most adult dogs we see at the park.

Wish we started even sooner

We waited until our puppy was 4 months and already had some nipping issues. Within two weeks of the Puppy Class, the biting stopped completely. The socialization alone was worth the entire price.

Our vet noticed the difference

At our last vet visit, they actually commented on how well-behaved our puppy was compared to most dogs they see. That is all from K9 Academy. The Foundation Program set him up for life.

"Three trainers told us our GSD was a lost cause. K9 Academy took him on without hesitation. After 4 weeks of Board & Train, we have a completely different dog. Best decision we ever made."
