About Anvil K9 Dog Training LLC

Anvil K9 Dog Training is a Chattanooga board-and-train business that deliberately sells one thing rather than a menu. Its own site says it offers "one complete training program designed to build reliable obedience, calm behavior, and off-leash control through structured, real-world training", for owners who want "real, lasting results, not quick fixes".

How the work is structured

The standard program is a three-week board and train, and the site publishes the price as $3,000. Puppies and what the site calls "difficult dogs" have a six-week option covering socialization, confidence building, crate and potty training and obedience foundations. Affirm financing is offered, and the site says "Lifetime of the dog support included".

What they publish working on

Three areas are named: board-and-train obedience; off-leash reliability, where "your dog learns to respond reliably without the leash, even around distractions"; and behavior modification for "reactivity, anxiety, or bad habits", which the site says is addressed at "the root of the behavior".

Who runs it

The site names Jake Mumford as owner and head trainer, describes the business as veteran-owned, and states he is a NePoPo Gold Certified trainer and an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator. NePoPo is explained on the site as a balanced system – "Negative, Positive, Positive" – that blends motivational and corrective work so "your dog learns to respond not just because they have to, but because they want to".
