About Me

At Northland K-9, nothing makes me happier than seeing owners enjoying their dogs to the fullest. Since I first began Northland K-9 in 1987, it has been my goal to offer quality education programs for all dogs, regardless of breed, so their owners could discover the true meaning of "Mans Best Friend." I understand the individuality of each dog and family and therefore the need for personal attention.

I invite you to visit me at Northland K-9.

I'd love to meet you and your dog! I am confident you will appreciate the fine services Northland K-9 has to offer.

At Northland K-9 i think of obedience training as dog education. In fact, I believe that obedience training is as important to dogs as elementary education is to children.

I want your dog to be "Your Best Friend" and I know the best way to accomplish this is through a comprehensive obedience training program that is based on sound owner/dog communication.

Benefits of Training

While professional dog training may cost more than conventional hobby club training the benefits greatly outweigh the additional investment. Unless you have alot of time to work with your dog at home ( two or more hours each day) , large group classes seldom provide the results you desire. The benefits of professional dog training include:

One-on-one training designed to meet your dog's personality and skill level.

Training sessions that can be scheduled to match your dogs busy calendar.

All of the attention willl be focused on you and your dog.

Continuing assistance is always available.

You will be working with a professionally trained, certified handler/trainer, not a novice.

You and your dog will not get lost in the "circus atmosphere " of large group/club training.

When To Start

Personal Protection

Affection and Protection

Protection training teaches qualified dogs to protect individuals, families and property while remaining an affectionate and safe pet.

My balanced training methods enhance the dog's natural suspicion and protection instincts through confidence building, not through intimidation or force. Owner and dog will work with me to learn effective handling skills for emergency situations.

These include recognizing a threat, giving the alert command and calling a dog out for effective and controlled protection.

Note: All dogs must be obedience trained on and off leash before beginning this program.

To quality for this type of training an evaluation must be completed by me..

Peace of Mind

A Personal Protection Dog will know the difference between right and wrong.

A Personal Protectiion Dog will know there is an intruder outside of your home, long before you will.

You can call back a Personal Protection Trained dog , you cannot call back a bullet.

A Personal Protection Trained Dog will protect you in your car or while going for a walk, run or bike ride... It will always be there for you.
