About Impact K9 Academy

What they offer

Impact K9 Academy trains all breeds and ages: puppy training, on- and off-leash obedience and behavior rehabilitation for fearful and aggressive dogs. Programs include board-and-train, private lessons, train for the day, virtual training, overnight camp and small group classes.

Private lessons

The Services page says private lessons are weekly one-on-one sessions in which the trainer teaches you to teach your dog, with a customized curriculum, daily homework and support between lessons. They can be held at the trainer's home, your home or a suitable public place.

Who runs it

The site names Dana O'Lone Long as owner and head trainer, training professionally since 2015 after years as a veterinary technician in general practice, emergency and critical care, and specialty medicine.
