Board and Train Program
The Board and Train Program at Keystone K9 is a comprehensive, hands-on training experience designed to deliver fast, lasting results for dogs of all temperaments and training levels. This program is ideal for owners who want their dogs to receive professional, structured training in a focused environment where consistency, repetition, and expert handling drive real behavioral change. Whether you’re dealing with basic obedience issues, leash pulling, reactivity, or more advanced behavioral challenges, this program provides a proven path to a better-behaved, more confident dog.
During their stay, your dog will live at our facility and follow a structured daily routine that includes multiple one-on-one training sessions, real-world exposure, and plenty of physical and mental enrichment. Our trainers use balanced, humane methods to address your dog’s specific needs while helping them develop impulse control, confidence, and clear communication. Each dog is evaluated individually, and training is tailored to their unique personality, pace, and the goals you’ve set as their owner. In addition to formal training sessions, dogs benefit from guided socialization, supervised downtime, and a stable environment that supports learning and personal growth.
Owners are kept informed throughout the process with regular updates that provide insight into the dog’s progress, temperament, and training milestones. We believe that lasting success comes from continuity between the trainer and the owner, which is why the program concludes with a private lesson to teach you how to reinforce and maintain the training once your dog returns home. This ensures a smooth transition and helps both you and your dog continue progressing together after the program ends.
The Board and Train Program is offered with flexible pricing based on the length of the stay. One to two-week programs are priced at $950 per week. A three-week stay is available at a reduced rate of $900 per week, while stays of four weeks or more are offered at $850 per week, providing the best value for extended training needs.
Whether your dog needs help with obedience, confidence, behavior modification, or all of the above, Keystone K9’s Board and Train Program delivers reliable, professional results in a focused, supportive setting. It’s more than just training—it’s a total reset for your dog and a new beginning for your relationship.

The Private Lessons Program at Keystone K9 is designed for dog owners who want a hands-on, personalized training experience. These one-on-one sessions allow you and your dog to work directly with an experienced trainer, focusing on the specific goals, challenges, and behaviors that matter most to you. Whether your dog needs basic obedience, help with reactivity, or advanced control in distracting environments, private lessons offer the flexibility and attention needed to make meaningful progress.
Each session is tailored to your dog’s temperament and learning style. Trainers take the time to understand your goals and evaluate your dog’s behavior, ensuring every minute of training is purposeful and effective. Private lessons are especially valuable for those who want to be deeply involved in the training process. You’ll receive direct coaching and clear instruction so that you can continue reinforcing the training at home between sessions. This ongoing involvement helps create lasting results and strengthens the bond between you and your dog.
The program is suitable for dogs of all ages and breeds, and it adapts easily to different training needs. Whether you’re introducing structure to a new puppy, correcting problem behaviors in an adolescent dog, or building better communication with an adult dog, private lessons provide a proven path forward. The individual attention also allows trainers to adjust the approach as needed throughout the program, creating a completely customized experience that evolves with your dog’s progress.
Keystone K9 offers private lessons either as single sessions or in packages. The flexibility allows you to start with one session to address a specific issue or commit to multiple sessions for a more comprehensive training plan. No matter the number of lessons, the goal remains the same: to provide you with the tools, knowledge, and support to succeed long after the session ends.
This program is ideal for owners who want to play an active role in their dog’s development. You’re not just dropping off your dog—you’re learning alongside them. By the end of the program, you’ll be equipped with practical skills, a better understanding of canine behavior, and the confidence to continue your dog’s training journey on your own.
The Private Lessons Program is more than instruction—it’s a partnership between you, your dog, and a skilled trainer working together toward real, lasting change.
Keystone K9’s Puppy Training Program is crafted to give your new canine companion a strong foundation from day one. The program begins with a Starter Pack that includes one year of group class membership and a set of private lessons to kickstart learning and socialization. This combination ensures that your puppy gains both structured group experience and focused, personalized instruction.
Group classes offer a supportive, social environment where your puppy can build confidence alongside other dogs and learn through interaction. The group setting encourages basic obedience and social skills, such as polite greetings, attention, and responding to cues in a distracting environment. Meanwhile, the private lessons allow the trainer to address your puppy’s unique temperament and your specific concerns, delivering individualized guidance during this formative stage.
This dual‑track approach works by reinforcing socialization and behavioral fundamentals in different settings, helping your puppy generalize commands and behaviors across environments. The group membership gives continuity and consistency over an extended period, while the private sessions ensure focused correction and tailored coaching.
Throughout the program, the focus remains on developing reliable communication, emotional stability, and good manners. The mix of group exposure and one‑on‑one coaching helps puppies adapt to both structured instruction and real‑world distractions, enabling them to grow into confident, well‑mannered companions. The extended one‑year membership ensures that your pup continues learning and reinforcing essential skills over time, while scheduled private lessons drive progress and address challenges directly.
When combined, this comprehensive program equips both puppy and owner with the knowledge, tools, and confidence needed for smooth advancement. From basic obedience to socialization and behavior shaping, the comprehensive blend of group and private training creates a strong, balanced starting point for every puppy.
The Group Classes Program at Keystone K9 offers a consistent, structured training environment where dogs and their owners can build obedience, confidence, and real-world reliability together. Designed for all skill levels, these classes are held multiple times each week, giving clients the flexibility to train regularly while adapting to busy schedules. Whether you’re starting fresh with a young dog or looking to sharpen obedience in challenging settings, the group format provides the structure and repetition necessary for long-term success.
Group classes create a valuable space for dogs to learn how to remain focused and responsive in the presence of distractions such as other dogs, people, and changing environments. This ability to work under distraction is one of the most important and often overlooked aspects of dog training. Practicing obedience in a real-world setting helps reinforce the behaviors being taught and teaches your dog to listen in a variety of situations, not just at home.
The program is built around consistent attendance, offering either a six-month or one-year membership. These membership options encourage continued learning and progress over time, ensuring that both dog and handler have the opportunity to grow and succeed at a steady pace. With multiple weekly class times available, you’re able to create a regular training rhythm that suits your lifestyle and keeps your dog mentally and physically engaged.
Each session is led by experienced trainers who guide both dog and handler through exercises that build foundational obedience, refine communication, and improve overall behavior. The group setting also allows owners to learn by observing others, asking questions, and receiving feedback on their own technique. Over time, handlers become more confident in their ability to guide and correct their dog appropriately.
Beyond training, group classes also foster a strong sense of community. Working alongside others who share similar goals creates a supportive atmosphere where progress is celebrated and challenges are addressed with encouragement and understanding. Dogs also benefit from the safe and structured social exposure, learning how to behave calmly and appropriately around other dogs and people.
The Group Classes Program is more than just obedience—it’s about developing reliability, resilience, and a lasting connection between you and your dog. Through regular, guided practice in a stimulating environment, this program provides the tools and experience necessary to build a well-mannered, responsive companion ready for life in the real world.
