About The K9 Collective

What they offer

The K9 Collective is a team of dog trainers in the Fargo-Moorhead area, established in 2018, that focuses on calm, confident partnerships between dogs and owners through clear communication and structured training. Its work is built around private lessons for owners who want to be involved in every step.

Private lessons

Lessons are taught at the owner's home and, once the dog is ready, out and about in dog-friendly spaces. They cover puppy foundations and socialization, basic and advanced obedience, leash and public manners, recall and off-leash training, confidence building, reactivity and fear-related behaviors, impulse control and household manners, and basic sport dog foundations. Every plan starts with an initial evaluation, and owners receive homework and step-by-step guidance between lessons.

Method

The trainers describe their methods as modern and science-based, following a least intrusive, minimally aversive approach, with a small client load for personalized attention. The site lists travel to several lake towns east of the metro and charges mileage farther out, so ask whether your area is covered.
