  • No. While puppy training is a big part of what we do, Franklin K9 Academy also works with adolescent and adult dogs needing more structure, better communication, or behavior modification.

  • Every dog is different. Progress depends on consistency, follow-through, your dog’s history, and your goals.

    Training is designed to create long-term results, not quick temporary fixes. Most owners begin seeing meaningful changes once they start applying consistent structure and communication at home.

  • Depending on the program and goals, sessions may take place:

    •  In your home 

    •  In public environments 

    •  At parks or other real-world locations 

    Training is designed to help your dog succeed in the environments you actually spend time in.

  • Training focuses on clear communication, consistency, structure, and accountability while building a better relationship between the dog and owner.

    The goal is not just obedience, but helping dogs clearly understand expectations so they can successfully navigate everyday life.

  • Yes. Training tools are included as needed depending on your dog and training goals. Recommendations are always explained clearly so owners understand how and why tools are being used.

  • That’s what the consultation is for.

    We’ll talk through your goals, current struggles, lifestyle, and your dog’s behavior to help determine the best fit for you and your dog.
