Empowering Dogs. Elevating Owners. One Journey. One Family.
Real Transformation doesn’t end with the trainer, it begins with you. Like fitness, only a fraction happens during the session; the real transformation happens in every day structure. That’s why our programs don’t just train your dog, we equip your entire family with the tools to lead, guide, and sustain lasting results. And if you don’t see real progress, we’ll give you every penny back. No stress. Just lasting results."

Rooted in Science. Powered by Compassion
At Friendly K9, we’ve earned some of the most prestigious credentials in the dog training industry, but it’s how we use them that truly sets us apart. Our training is rooted in a certified fear-free approach, backed by education in canine neurobiology, behavior science, and emotional wellness. Every technique we use is designed to build trust, reduce stress, and empower both dogs and their families with lasting results through compassion and clarity.
Transformation Guaranteed, or It’s On Us.
We believe in real results, not temporary fixes. That’s why every program at Friendly K9 comes with our transformation guarantee. If you don’t feel your dog has made meaningful, lasting progress by the end of their training, we’ll give you every penny back. No stress. No pressure. Just a commitment to doing what’s right for you and your fur pal.
A Promise That Lasts a Lifetime.
At Friendly K9, lifetime support isn’t just a promise, it’s our philosophy. We believe real transformation doesn’t end at graduation, which is why every family who enrolls with us becomes part of ours. Our commitment continues long after your dog goes home. Through private group chats, personalized refreshers, and open communication, we ensure you always have a direct line to guidance when you need it most.
More Than Trainers, Meet the Family
At Friendly K9, we’re more than a training team, we’re a family united by a deep love for dogs and the people who cherish them. Every member of our team brings not just professional expertise, but compassion, patience, and a genuine heart for the journey each dog and family takes.
Training Rooted in Psychology, Backed by Compassion
At Friendly K9, we don’t believe in quick fixes. We believe in lasting transformation. Our method is rooted in behavioral science, guided by compassion, and customized to each dog’s unique needs. We go beyond surface-level obedience to uncover the why behind every behavior, addressing it at the root for real, sustainable change. Using a fear-free, psychology-based approach, we empower dogs and their families with the tools, structure, and support they need to build confidence, communication, and lifelong trust. This isn’t just training, it’s a journey toward a calmer, more connected life together.
