At Thriving K9, we believe training should build more than obedience — it should build confidence, clarity, and connection between you and your dog.
With over 15 years of hands-on experience in competition, seminars, and continued education, our programs are rooted in engagement, play, and thoughtful skill development.
Whether you’re stepping into the sport world, preparing for titles, improving focus, or simply wanting a stronger relationship with your dog, we’re here to guide you.
We specialize in:
-
Basic Obedience
-
Play & engagement development
-
Quality supplements and supplies
Basic obedience may teach behaviors — but we teach you how to create a dog that wants to work with you.
🐾 Train Smart. Thrive Together.
