Our Process
What to Expect
Functionality
Functionality is the key to successful dog training. At Outstanding K9, we go beyond basic obedience commands and focus on empowering you to have complete control over your dog’s behavior in all situations.
Far too often, people find that their dogs excels at performing tricks and commands in a controlled setting, only to become unresponsive when guests arrive or when you take them out in public. This disconnect can be incredibly frustrating, leaving owners feeling like all their hard work has been for nothing. However with Outstanding K9, the true measure of success lies in how well those skills translate to every-day-life situations. The approach to our functional training will bridge this gap so you can enjoy an obedient, adaptable dog no matter the circumstances.
We take into account your specific goals, family dynamics, living environment, and community interactions and activities.
Your lifestyle is unique, whether you…
- Live in an apartment, a house, or on a farm.
- Enjoy walks, hikes, or relaxing on the porch with a cold beverage.
- Frequently host friends and family or attend sporting events and festivals.
Regardless of your preferences, we understand that your dog needs to be in harmony with your everyday life.
Functional training is about building a strong foundation of trust, communication, and problem-solving skills. In return, dogs learn to navigate obstacles, respond to environmental cues, and make sound decisions with confidence.
These dogs learn transferable skills that serve them well at home, on walks, and in public spaces. Imagine your dog confidently navigating a crowded city street, calmly greeting new people, or remaining unfazed by loud noises. Functional training can make this a reality, equipping your canine companion with the tools they need to adapt and excel in any situation.
By focusing on functionality, trainers can tailor their methods to address the specific requirements of each individual dog, rather than forcing them to conform to a one-size-fits-all model.
Functionality is the foundation of our training philosophy. We’ll empower you to have the obedient, well-behaved companion you desire, tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle
Education
Dog training is not just about obedience commands – it’s about building a deep understanding and communication between you and your canine companion. At Outstanding K9, we take a holistic approach that empowers you as the owner and respects your dog’s natural needs and behaviors.
We come to your home and everyday environments – the places where your dog truly lives and functions. This is where we can address any behavioral issues at the root, tailoring our techniques and education to your specific goals and lifestyle.
Our simple, fun methods will give you the dog psychology knowledge and hands-on skills to communicate effectively with your pup. You’ll learn why your dog acts the way they do, and how to apply new techniques that create positive habits. When your dog understands the “why” behind the training, they’re more likely to respond with enthusiasm and confidence. This, in turn, strengthens the bond between you and your dog, making for a more harmonious and rewarding relationship.
The foundation of our training is built on love, trust and respect – the essential elements of any strong relationship. With patience and understanding, we’ll help you and your dog forge an unbreakable bond. You’ll be amazed at how quickly your dog becomes eager to please and follow your lead.
Don’t settle for generic obedience training. Let Outstanding K9 give you the personalized, comprehensive approach that will transform your dog and your home. Get ready to experience a new level of joy and cooperation with your four-legged family member.
Individualized Method
After 22 years in the business and interactions with thousands of clients, we’ve witnessed too many heartbreaking stories of dogs being discarded, put down, or living a poor quality of life due to misinformation, lack of behavioral understanding, and ineffective training. Many of our clients have tried different trainers and facilities with no lasting results, only to be turned away from obedience classes because their dogs didn’t fit their standard training system.
At Outstanding K9, we believe that every dog is trainable and can lead a fulfilling life. We don’t follow a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, we tailor our training methods to the unique needs of each individual dog and their owner. No two dogs are the same, which means no two training sessions are the same either. Our expertise lies in understanding the core issue and utilizing the appropriate method to fit the dog, not the other way around.
We are hands-on, invested trainers who don’t simply apply a generic “method” to every case. We hire talented individuals who can use their knowledge and experience to modify the training approach as needed. It takes a great deal of time and expertise to understand the specific needs of each dog and how to apply the right techniques.
As a result, Outstanding K9 creates highly obedient and well-adjusted dogs while preserving the unique qualities that their owners love. Our mission is to create a happy dog and a happy owner, always tailoring our training to “The Way You Want Your Companion To Be.”

If you ever encounter a situation where you’re unsure of how to proceed, a simple phone call or text is all it takes to get the guidance you need.
