K9 PROGRAMS
ELEGANT K9 OBEDIENCE
Using specific goals, proven training concepts, precise timing, and proper balance, all while keeping sessions short and engaging, we make obedience training fun and effective for both dogs and handlers. By always considering training from the dog’s perspective, we build a strong foundation for positive reinforcement, customized dog training, and lasting teamwork between you and your canine companion.
SCENT & OBJECT DETECTION
We use modern, cutting-edge methods to train your dog in scent and objective discrimination, equipping them with advanced detection skills suited for today’s evolving environment. Our dedication to canine scent detection and nose work includes ongoing research and development to ensure our dogs benefit from the latest innovations in scent discrimination and detection training.
FAMILY & HOME PROTECTION
With the rise of violent crimes, family dogs are essential guardians for your home and loved ones. Elegant K9 Training specializes in teaching your dog advanced protection skills to safeguard your home, yard, office, and even your walking or jogging routes. Our expert dog protection training provides peace of mind by helping you discover if your dog has what it takes to be a trusted family protector.
TRACKING & TRAILING
Training tracking and trailing canines is a gradual, careful process, as each dog responds differently to various challenges. Every canine progresses at their own pace, with unique reactions to training techniques and rewards. At Elegant K9, we specialize in tracking dog training and search and rescue training, using a diverse range of subjects for mock search exercises. Our experienced trainers collaborate closely, sharing advice and support to ensure effective canine scent work and successful outcomes.

Our trainers are highly skilled in protection, obedience, scent detection, and tracking/trailing, allowing us to create personalized programs tailored to every dog’s needs. Through strategic evaluations, we identify each canine’s strengths and areas for growth to ensure the best possible results.
Our programs are designed for handlers who want their dogs to achieve true excellence through five-star training. While every dog’s needs are unique, they all deserve the same level of care, safety, and trust. At Elegant K9, we prioritize building a secure and positive environment so your dog feels confident, and you feel confident in us.
