WHY US

Why does this program get such amazing results?

In our Obedience Training Day Program, both you and your dog are integral to the learning process. While many training programs focus solely on the dog, Knoxville’s Premier Dog Training Services emphasizes the importance of training the humans too. By involving you in the process, we ensure you understand how to reinforce the training and prevent old habits from returning.


Many dog behavioral issues stem from actions we unknowingly take, so learning the correct techniques alongside your dog is key to achieving long-lasting results. Together, we create a foundation of mutual understanding and success for both you and your furry companion!

Human Training

You, the human, are just as important to train as your dog. Most issues are reinforced unknowingly by the owner, so we prioritize teaching both.

OUR REVIEWS

What Our Customers Say

To say we are pleased with our experience with K9 Services Unlimited is a huge understatement. We are so happy with our decision to use them for training for our 6 month old Brittany, Bo. Rebeka was absolutely fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with her. We went with the 6 week off leash board and train. She was so communicative, sending weekly updates as well as quick response to any texts we had along the way. Bo came back home to us with fantastic discipline. We have already been able to see his training at work on hikes and visit to local restaurants. I would highly recommend Rebeka and the K9 staff to anyone looking for training for their dog.

Obedience Training at a Glance

Our Obedience Training Day Program is built for owners who want a well-mannered dog without giving up their workday. Dogs are dropped off in the morning, spend the day in focused training sessions, and are picked up in the afternoon or evening. Each week includes a one-on-one private lesson on Friday so you stay involved in your dog's progress.

The program teaches essential obedience commands, leash manners and impulse control, and it trains the owner as well. Weekly homework keeps you engaged so the results hold up at home, around the neighborhood and out in public.

What owners can expect

You will not be left on the sidelines. Because many behavior problems are reinforced by the people around the dog, we teach owners the same skills the dog is learning, from timing and consistency to how to practice at home. If you are not sure whether obedience, behavior modification or another program is the right starting point, request a free consultation and we will help you decide.
