Dog Training
Online & In-Person
Better dogs. Happier homes. Anywhere you are.
Elite service-dog trainers bringing real training to real families — online or in person, brought to you by a Marine Corps family.
Your dog deserves this!
In-Person Training
In-person, in-home obedience training, serving Carson City.
Choosing a dog trainer is a serious decision — and we know you have options.
But here’s why families across the U.S. choose Custom K-9:
Unmatched Experience
We bring over two decades of hands-on training expertise, from mobility-aid and medical response service dogs to confident, well-mannered family pets. We’ve seen it all — and we know what actually works.
There's no guilt, no shame, no scolding. Just encouragement, support and joy!
We Teach You to Train
Most trainers focus on the dog.
We focus on you.
We believe empowered owners create successful dogs, and you’ll be supported, coached, and encouraged every step of the way. Your progress matters just as much as your dog’s.
You aren't just another faceless client.
You're family.
We Truely Love What We Do!
Dog training is our life’s work — not just a job.
We don’t just deliver results; we bring the passion, knowledge, and skill to guide you through any training path you want to pursue.
We've written books, spoken on national TV and educational podcasts, gotten awards and accolades and traveled the nation in support of our passion!

In-Person Training
What can you expect when you book a private in-person class?
We typically offer in-person classes in the Carson Valley area and can train either at your home or at a pet-friendly central location. The difference between us and regular dog trainers is immediately apparent: we bring a wealth of professional experience to your session, addressing your goals, designing training plans and helping you understand and communicate better with your dog. Our goal is to teach you how to speak "dog" and we take great pride in our stellar reviews and awesome local reputation.
Customized Training!
You and your dog deserve personalized training, and that's what we give you! We use the most modern, scientific-backed styles of training to provide a balanced, humane learning experience for you and your dog!
Team-Building!
We want you and your dog to be besties, teammates and battle buddies! That starts with trust, friendship and mutual respect.
Training Support!
You aren't taught and forgotten! You can reach us via text or email between training sessions and can even add in Club Doghouse for extra support!
Bringing over a decade of experience training service dogs and family pets.
