Trainings and Programs
Private lesson training is fully customized dog training. We will meet you in your home, workplace, public area, or other locations. Private lessons are ideal for general obedience, puppy training, socialization, service dog training, and therapy dog training. Private lessons can address a wide variety of issues including jumping, barking, chewing, counter surfing, crate training, digging, leash pulling, nipping, potty training, and obedience training.
The benefit of private lessons is working one-on-one with your trainer. Together you identify your training goals, then your trainer develops a specialized plan to meet those goals. The level of skill, commands, or goals you want to achieve will determine how many lessons you’ll need.
At the end of each lesson, you receive thorough, written homework. You have access to your trainer for immediate feedback between lessons as you work on your homework. Clients achieve great results from this program and enjoy the flexibility it allows them.
We offer three lesson packages for your convenience.
-
Bronze package (four 1-hour lessons) $599.00
-
Silver package (six 1-hour lessons) $749.00
-
Gold package (eight 1-hour lessons) $899.00
Our board & train offers an immersive learning experience for your dog. When you enroll your dog in Valor K9 Academy’s board & train program, your dog stays at the trainer’s home for two weeks or more and undergoes professional dog training sessions daily under the guidance of our experienced dog trainers.
Our dog board & train programs are personalized according to the needs of each dog and take into account the demands of your household to ensure your dog can easily integrate into your home after training. The board training program offers an environment that fosters learning. Your dog learns obedience and manners while with us, and you receive regular updates on your dog’s progress. At the end of training, you work one-on-one with the trainer to learn how to reinforce your dog’s training when it comes home.
We offer three board & train programs based on your dog’s age and training goals.

Stay & Play is our private boarding program where your dog stays in our home as part of our family and pack. During your dog’s stay, we meet his/her needs for physical exercise, mental stimulation, and training. We do this through supervised play time, yard time, toy play, treadmill training, structured time on the place bed, and more.
Most importantly, we keep your dog’s manners and training intact so you come home to a tired, happy, and still well-behaved dog. This service is offered to present and past clients only. It is for dogs who are crate-trained and potty-trained.
