About us

At Proven K9 Training, we recognize that not every person or dog learns the same. When it come to DOG TRAINING our approach is tailored to YOUR DOG TRAINING needs. Our first step is to build a bond and reward history with your dog, by doing so we are able to find your dog’s highest motivator as well as find out where they are with what they know; giving us the ability to build from the work you have already done! 

While genetics plays a significant role in the makeup of your dog, it is not their identity!   Understanding basic DOG BEHAVIOR will only take you so far, as DOG TRAINERS we need to know the dog that is in front of us. Our Proven K9 Certifide Trainers take the time to get to know your dog. We dig into your training goals; in order to best devise a training plan that fits your family needs and the needs of your dog specifically.  

This plan is like a living document that changes as we get to know your dog better and discover new things about your dog. Your dog wants to communicate with you, we will show you how to do that at the highest level possible. Not every program is suitable for every dog, and not every program will fit every family dynamic. Our Proven K9 Training staff will gather ongoing information about your dog and your training goals when giving you regular updates, then recommend a training program to help you obtain those goals WITH YOUR dog. 

 Since there is no nationally accredited certification for dog training, our Proven Trainers obtain Certification through a very intensive apprenticeship program, designed and taught by our Proven K9 Training Leaders. This course is designed to teach our Proven  K9 Trainers how to approach not only training the dogs they work with, but also how to teach the family in the most effective manner. Your dog’s success after training is contingent on how well you understand your dog and the training you receive. This is all covered in our 640 hour DOG TRAINING apprenticeship that every DOG TRAINER has to complete before they get to work with you and your dog. 

Proven K9 Training is a science based, balanced training company.  We utilize classical conditioning as well as operant conditioning, always working at the lightest level possible. This means our DOG TRAINING METHODS include rewarding for the things your dog does right on their own, and we will show your dog how to respond to a command and earn reward. We believe that you cannot correct a dog that does not completely understand the obedience commands you are asking, so we must first build that understanding.  Setting boundaries, and implementing structure into a dog’s daily routine helps us accomplish this understanding at a higher level.  We implement a variable reward system as quickly as possible, so that your dog is not treat dependent.  

Everything we do is to build you and your dog into a team that can work together as you go forward in a new life with new DOG TRAINING skills. Our goal is to completely  change  the way you live life with your dog. 

Our Lifetime Support is unmatched by other DOG TRAINING COMPANIES. IF you EVER have any need for DOG TRAINING HELP after your dog goes home, simply give us a call. We will even set up a VIP TRAINING (you, your dog and your trainer) absolutely free for the ret of your dog’s life!

GIVE US A CHANCE to walk you through the daunting process  of choosing where to trust to send your dog. We want to take the worry away and ensure you have the honest truth of what to look out for when talking to most dog training companies out there.
