Expert Training Tailored Around Your Dog’s Needs

Our facility provides private lessons and ‘board and train’ options. Each lesson is customized to meet your dog’s unique needs. Our training approach utilizes clickers and treats, ensuring a positive experience. We do not employ shock, choke, or prong collars, nor do we use any aversive training methods. With positive reinforcement, we make training enjoyable for both you and your dog!

Whether you have a puppy that needs basic commands or an adult dog requiring basic or advanced training, our programs are designed to be effective and enjoyable for both you and your dog.

Puppy training is crucial for establishing good habits early on. Our specialized puppy training programs focus on basic commands, potty training, and socialization skills that will set the foundation for a well-adjusted adult dog. We understand that puppies have unique needs; therefore, our trainers employ age-appropriate methods to keep them engaged and learning.

In addition to basic obedience training, we also cover important topics such as bite inhibition and proper play behavior with other dogs. By starting early with puppy training, you can help ensure that your furry friend grows into a well-mannered companion.

 

For busy pet owners who may not have the time to train their dogs consistently, our “Board and Train” program offers an effective solution. This program combines boarding with intensive training sessions tailored to address specific behavioral issues or obedience commands.

During their stay with us, dogs receive daily training sessions led by our experienced trainers while enjoying the comforts of our boarding facility. This approach allows dogs to learn in a structured environment while also benefiting from socialization with other pets.

Our dog daycare services provide a fun-filled day for your pet while giving you peace of mind during your busy schedule. Our daycare facility features large play areas where dogs can socialize and engage in supervised play with other dogs of similar sizes and temperaments.

We ensure that every dog has access to fresh air and outdoor activities throughout the day. Our trained staff monitors playtime closely to ensure safety while encouraging positive interactions among dogs.

Here are some reviews from happy clients:

My dog has been going to K-9 Divine for boarding (and previously day care) for probably close to a decade. It’s legitimately her favorite place on the planet and she always comes home completely exhausted from all the playing and running around. We had a bad experience at a previous daycare/boarding facility in DC and have been so thankful that a friend recommended K-9 Divine. I cannot imagine bringing my dog anywhere else.”

We left our two dogs with K-9 for the second time and the second time was for two weeks (!) and I’m so grateful to have found K-9. Our dogs were so well cared for, came home happy, and so very tuckered out from digging holes and playing with the other dogs. Highly recommend!!”

Dog boarding at a farm vs with a veterinarian

You could be wondering if boarding with your local veterinarian would be better for you, after all you may know your vet very well; furthermore, your vet could already be familiar with your dog. Pet familiarity is a great advantage to boarding your pet with a vet, but there aren’t many other advantages to boarding with a veterinarian.

Most veterinarians who offer boarding put their clients’ dogs in kennels or cages, only taking them out to use the bathroom. This tends to create more stress and anxiety in your dog, negatively affecting their well-being. Dog boarding at a cage-free facility gives your dog more peace of mind and a higher quality of care.

Will my dog be safe from other dogs in a free range boarding ranch?

Our vigilant staff is on-site with round-the-clock vigilance, creating a secure environment where supervision is constant and every bark, wag, or whimper is met with a responsive and caring presence. Our team engages actively with our canine guests, including dogs and puppies, providing affection, play, and comfort day and night. This perpetual human touch guarantees that, while you’re away, your dog is enveloped in a nurturing atmosphere that feels like a home away from home.
