Board and Train

Your dog lives and trains with us, then comes home with real obedience already built in. Best for owners who want fast, lasting change without guessing at the process.

  • Multiple one on one sessions every day, plus real world exposure
  • Obedience, leash manners, impulse control, reactivity, and problem behaviors
  • Regular photo and video updates so you see the progress
  • A private handoff lesson at the end so you can keep the results at home

Pricing: $950 per week for 1 to 2 weeks, $900 per week for 3 weeks, $850 per week for 4 weeks or more.

Private Lessons

One on one coaching for you and your dog. You stay involved the whole way, so you learn the handling, not just the commands.

  • Built around your specific goals and your dog’s temperament
  • Obedience, reactivity, leash work, or control around heavy distraction
  • Works for puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs
  • Available as single sessions or as a multi session package

Good fit if you want to do the work yourself with an experienced trainer guiding you.

About The Keystone K9 Team in North Carolina

Puppy Training Program

Start your puppy right. The Starter Pack combines a full year of group class membership with five private lessons, so your puppy learns in both settings.

  • Five private lessons for focused work on your puppy’s specific needs
  • One year of group classes for socialization around other dogs and people
  • House manners, polite greetings, attention, and early obedience
  • Confidence building during the window that matters most

The year long membership means your puppy keeps training as it grows, not just for a few weeks.

Group Classes

Structured classes where your dog learns to listen with other dogs, people, and distractions around. Obedience at home is easy, obedience in public is the real test.

  • Three classes a week: Tuesday 12pm, Thursday 6:30pm, Sunday 2:30pm
  • All skill levels, led by an experienced trainer
  • Practice obedience under real distraction, not in a quiet living room
  • Six month or one year memberships available

Locations vary. Come as often as your schedule allows.
