Training That Builds Trust
Why Train With Kennels & K9s
Every dog is different, and every training journey should be too. At Kennels & K9s, there are no one-size-fits-all programs or cookie-cutter lessons. Brandy takes the time to understand each dog's personality, motivations, and challenges before creating a training plan tailored to their individual needs.
Using positive reinforcement and Fear Free techniques, training becomes an experience that builds confidence, strengthens communication, and helps both dogs and their owners enjoy learning together. Whether you're starting with a new puppy, preparing for the AKC Canine Good Citizen test, or working through behavioral challenges, the goal is always the same—creating a calmer, happier life for you and your dog.
Schedule Your Free Consultation
Start with a complimentary 30-minute Consultation where you'll meet with Brandy to discuss your dog's personality, your goals, and any behavioral challenges. Together, you'll determine the best path forward before booking your first lesson.

In Person Training
Does your dog become anxious, reactive, or difficult to manage outside the home? Starting in a familiar environment can make all the difference. In-home training reduces distractions and allows us to focus on real-life behaviors where they occur most often. From barking at the door to leash preparation and household manners, we'll work together to create lasting habits in the place your dog knows best.
Investment: $75
Virtual Dog Training
Keep your training journey moving—wherever life takes you. Virtual sessions provide personalized one-on-one coaching for clients who are traveling, have busy schedules, or simply prefer to train from home. Whether you need a quick progress check-in, a full lesson, or guidance on more advanced behaviors, you'll receive the same expert support and customized instruction as you would during an in-person session.

"Brandy and her family are amazing with Mabel. She takes care of her like she’s family and keeps her busy all day with training or playtime. She will check in about various toys and treats to make sure I am okay with them. She sends tons of pictures too and I always feel at ease when Mabel is there."
Sara S.
"Brandy was fantastic! We left our large 3 year old dog for a week and a half to go on our honeymoon. We were nervous because it was our first time away from him - especially since he came from a shelter. Brandy truly loves dogs and made us feel super comfortable. She provided updates & pics/videos daily, which not only made us smile, but put us at ease & allowed us to enjoy our vacation. We will definately rebook next time we go out of town."

"From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such loving & capable hands. They treated her like family. I would absolutely book with them again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone."
