Prerequisite: Successful completion of Obedience Class

  • Down-Stay with distractions

  • Sit-Stay with owner out of sight

BRINGING HOME BABY

Bringing home a new baby can be stressful, but your dog’s relationship to your new addition doesn’t have to be.

The goal of this add-on class is to teach your dog to respect the baby’s area and belongings, such as toys, carriers, and diapers. Bringing home baby comes with a lot of change— give your dog the tools they need to adjust comfortably.

 

PRIVATE TRAINING

Sometimes, a situation may call for one-on-one lessons rather than a group setting. This allows the owner and trainer to address specific issues or work on more advanced goals with a personalized approach.

Private training also offers the opportunity for trainers to evaluate dogs and owners to determine their individual needs and goals.

  • Conformation

BOARDED TRAINING

Derrick also accepts a limited number of client dogs on a case-by-case basis. Based on evaluation, Derrick can take your dog or puppy to work with in his personal training program. Duration is based on your individual goals and needs for your dog. Along with working with your dog, boarded training also includes two private training sessions and one group lesson to help you understand how to best work with your dog and their new training level. Boarded training is off-site from the Kai’s Obedience main location.

We accept cash, Venmo, and checks.

Credit and debit cards are also accepted
with an added 3% processing fee.
