About Elite K9 Solutions

Elite K9 Solutions works by private lesson in the Oshkosh, Wisconsin area. The site states the premise in one sentence: it "will help you get the most out of your dog, whether you're talking about a pet or your service dog, through private lessons specifically designed for you and your dog's needs".

Services

The services are grouped into four blocks. Pet training covers "Household Manners" and "Enjoyable Walking", along with a run of testing options – AKC Canine Good Citizen testing, AKC Trick Dog testing, AKC Virtual Home Manners testing, AKC Level 3 Fit Dog instruction and UKC Socialized Pet Obedience Test testing. Service dog training covers "ADA Compliance", "Task Based Skills", "Public Access", "Service Dog Selection" and "Training the New Recruit". The therapy dog block covers "Training Your Therapy Dog" and "Assistance with Formal Registration". A dog sports block lists obedience, rally, dog parkour, trick dog and scent work. The site adds that "Presentations, Work Shops, and Seminars are also available" and that "Other services can be created to meet specific needs."
