About Donovan’s K9 Services LLC

Who runs it

Donovan's K9 Services LLC is run by Sean Donovan, who is named as the trainer throughout the business's own site.

How the training is described

The site sets out a four-step approach it calls "A Clear and Balanced Approach": understand the dog, create clear structure, train for real life, and educate the owner. The stated aim is behavior that holds up outside a training session, and the site puts it directly: "Skills are developed for use at home, in public, and around everyday distractions."

Programs and prices published

Four services are listed with prices. A Basic Board & Train at $2,500 covers foundational obedience, household manners, leash skills, recall foundations, and confidence around everyday distractions. A Behavior Modification board-and-train at $3,500 is described as being for "dogs displaying challenging behaviors that require additional evaluation, structure, and individualized training", and the site says a conversation with Sean is required before enrollment. Private lessons run $100 for a single session, $350 for five, and $480 for eight, covering basic obedience, leash manners, recall, puppy foundations, and household behavior. Overnight boarding is offered separately at $30 to $40 per night, depending on size and on whether the dog has trained there before.

What to expect

Owner education is presented as part of the program rather than an add-on: the site says "Owners receive clear instruction to help maintain progress after training." Intake starts with a training request form covering the dog's age, breed, behavior, history, and the owner's goals, after which Sean recommends a program.
