Welcome.

If you’re new here, this page will help you understand how training works at Custom K-9 and where to begin.

Dog training can feel overwhelming when you’re not sure what to focus on first. This page is designed to give you a clear starting point so you can move forward with confidence.

How Training Works at Custom K-9

Training at Custom K-9 is built around clarity, consistency, and long-term support. Rather than relying on quick fixes or one-time sessions, we help dog owners build skills that work in real life.

Our training support includes online dog training through Club Doghouse, in-person training when appropriate, and ethical service dog training guidance for handlers actively involved in their dog’s training journey.

Online Training & Support

Best for most dog owners

Club Doghouse is our online dog training program designed to provide structure, guidance, and ongoing support as you train in real life.

In-Person Dog Training

Local support when hands-on help is needed

In-person training sessions are available for clients who benefit from hands-on guidance or are getting started with training foundations.

Service Dog Training Support

For committed handlers

We offer ethical service dog training support for handlers actively involved in training their own service dogs.

What to Do Next

You don’t need to do everything at once.

Most people start by exploring Club Doghouse, where training is supported over time and adjusted to real-life situations. From there, you can add in-person sessions or specialized support as needed.

If you’re unsure where to begin, start with the option that gives you the most consistency and support.

How Club Doghouse Fits with In-Person Training

Many clients use in-person dog training to get started or work through specific challenges, then continue their progress through Club Doghouse.

Online support allows training to continue consistently, without relying solely on scheduled sessions. This combination helps owners build confidence and maintain progress as real life unfolds.
