About Valor K9 Academy Boise

Founded in 2014, Valor K9 Academy® is a veteran-owned Boise dog training company based in Boise, Idaho. We specialize in raising well-mannered puppies, developing stable service dogs, and helping everyday pet owners build strong, respectful relationships with their dogs.

We're not "positive-only" trainers who make empty promises. We use a balanced, proven approach grounded in communication, structure, and motivation—delivering consistent results across all breeds, ages, and backgrounds. 

With over a decade of experience, our Boise dog training programs are built for real life, not just obedience drills. Whether you're raising your first puppy or need help refining behavior, we're here to guide you every step of the way.

What We Offer: Boise Dog Training

  • Puppy Training—Get your pup off to the best start with structured socialization, crate and potty training, and basic obedience. We help raise confident, well-mannered puppies from day one.

  • Family Dog Obedience—Teach your dog to walk calmly on leash, come when called, greet politely, and behave at home and in public. Training is fun, practical, and tailored to your lifestyle.

  • Service Dog Training—We offer professional guidance for owner-trainers working toward public access and task training. Build a confident, reliable service dog from the ground up.

  • Behavior Training—We address mild behavioral challenges like reactivity, anxiety, and overexcitement with customized training that brings calm and clarity to your dog's life.

Giving Back

At Valor K9 Academy, we believe in making a difference—both in the lives of dogs and the people who love them. We regularly donate training, time, and resources to veterans, military families, and rescues in need. When you train with us, you're also supporting a mission that gives back.
