DOG TRAINING
My job is simple: to give you the knowledge and skills necessary so you won’t need me again. By teaching you practical management techniques alongside your dog’s training, we build a solid foundation that applies to many behaviors. You’ll learn the basics you can use with your dog in almost any situation.
We specialize in developing healthy relationships between handler and dog through positive reinforcement, accountability and clear management strategies.
Every client begins with a free 15-minute phone consultation. We cut through the guesswork—clarifying your needs, answering questions, and laying out a game plan. This is where we define our shared goals. This is also a chance to make sure I’m the right trainer for you, and that you’re the right client for our training style. Maybe it’s just leash manners, perhaps its fully proofed advanced obedience - your training goals dictate the package we offer. We want to serve both human and dog.
We help Integrate Dogs into the Human Environment.
Speak your Dog’s Language
We don’t just “train” dogs—we show you how to communicate. You’ll learn to read body language, set boundaries that stick, and anticipate behaviors before they spiral. The result? A dog that looks to you for leadership, and a relationship built on respect.
Reduce Inconvenience (save money)
Untrained behavior is expensive. Chewed furniture, emergency vet visits, boarding fees, even legal risks from bites—it adds up fast. Proper training eliminates those problems before they start. Our programs are an investment that pays off for the life of your dog.
enjoy man’s best friend
No more being dragged down the street, no more tension every time another dog appears. With our obedience and behavior programs, you’ll step out the door with confidence—on-leash, off-leash, in public or at home. Freedom for you. Freedom for your dog.
Training Packages
We offer private sessions - with in home sessions availible for an additional travel cost.
We are working breeders first, but with deep experience in competitive bite sports, and even being selected as an A&E Top Dog Competitor, we truly enjoy living life alongside our dogs. We believe that this is really only made possible by understanding their instincts. Throughout the years we’ve fielded tons of requests through neighbors and friends seeking guidance - we allow our personal dogs to lead by example and we enjoy sharing our knowledge with others. A well behaved dog is truly a pleasure to be around. With that said, we believe that dogs can easily assimilate into society through the establishment of rules, boundaries, and limitations. Clear training goals make everyone’s life easier, and we are happy to help both the enthusiast, and seasoned K9 handler get the most out of their relationship with their dog. We believe in balanced training, establishing expectations and creating dogs who offer the appropriate behaviors unprompted.
We provide handlers with the management skills needed to accompany training. Our job is to give you the knowledge you need - so we don’t have to come back! We have been fortunate to work with a number of different dog breeds, client needs, and love seeing handlers be challenged and grow. References are available upon request. We typically offer training packages and can provide subsequent sessions as necessary. But what is most important is that you practice at home. We do not offer “Board and Train” Packages. Your dog is holding YOU accountable, not the trainer. By booking a package we get to monitor your progress - because the dog’s behavior will tell us if you’ve been practicing.
All sessions are offered in 1hr intervals.
Sport and protection work evaluations are $100
FoundatioN Work
Foundation laying is about understanding the basics. We will cover everything from basic obedience, luring, the art of giving the appropriate correction, the importance of timing and communication techniques with your dog. Our goal is to help both dog and handler understand each other. When communication and expectations are clearly understood, training and management becomes easier. This consultation session allows us to lay the groundwork towards establishing a training program for both you and the dog. We introduce the basics including heel, sit, stay, place and come.
Single session is $120, or 4 sessions for $450
Advanced obedience
As we work to master communication with our dogs, we can begin to create deseriable behaviors which allow us to become responsible K9 handlers. Advanced Obedience allows us to perfect and proof many of the behaviors we expect of our dogs particularly in a public setting - by increasing the duration of a sit or down, and distraction proofing behaviors - such as “Leave it”. Advanced Obedience is structured to allow for your dog to become an upstanding canine citizen while interacting with the general public. We solidify heel, sit, stay, place, come, leave it, navigating crosswalks, ignoring scents, sights, sounds, distraction proofing and greeting of strangers.
Single session is $150, or 4 sessions for $550
Problem Solving
Insecurity, nervousness, separation, environmental stressors, resource guarding? Why do our dogs behave like this, and how can we help them overcome these difficulties? SavantK9 views each dog as an individual - and works alongside owners to address problem areas, and apply training and management tactics best suited for the individual dog.
Problem solving sessions are $150
Booking and Payment
We accept cash and all forms of electronic payment
At SavantK9, our training packages are designed to set you and your dog up for lasting success. Each session builds on the last, creating steady progress and real results.
To keep your training consistent and focused:
Full payment is required at the start of your package. This reserves your training times and allows us to dedicate the right resources to your dog’s progress.
After your first session, we’ll schedule the remaining lessons at a pace that works best for your goals and your dog’s learning style.
Think of it as an investment in your partnership—one that keeps you committed and accountable as we work together.
Mileage: We do not charge a travel fee for anything within a 10 mile radius of our zip code. Anything over the 10 mile radius starts at $10.00 and goes up by $1 per additional mile. So if you are 15 miles outside of our 10 mile radius, we will charge you $25 travel fee.
Every client begins with a free 15-minute consultation call. This ensures the package you choose is the right fit and gives you a chance to ask questions before committing.
And for peace of mind, if after your first session you feel the package isn’t the right fit, we’ll refund the remaining balance—no hard feelings. (Sorry, this does not include any travel fees outside our 10 mile radius)
Our goal is simple: to give you the tools and confidence to succeed with your dog—long after the package ends.
Let’s work together.
