About K9 Advanced dog training

In-home training from East Islip

K9 Advanced Dog Training is based in East Islip and, in its own words, is "on the road every day" across Nassau and Suffolk County, plus Poughkeepsie. The business credits itself with "over 20 years of experience" and offers a free consultation. Its town pages cover Bay Shore, Bohemia, Islip, Medford, Patchogue, Ronkonkoma, Sayville and more.

Programs

Puppy training covers housebreaking, destructive chewing and basic commands such as "come, sit, off and leave it". In-home dog and puppy training means the trainer comes to your house and trains you and the dog together, week by week. The board and train program keeps your dog with the trainer for two or four weeks of daily work. Online video classes are a self-paced option for owners who prefer to learn remotely.

Problems it takes on

The home page names leash pulling and lunging, jumping on guests, door barking, resource guarding, nipping, bolting, unfinished housebreaking and poor recall. It says leash reactivity, resource guarding and aggression toward people or other dogs "are a large part of our work", and asks owners to share any bite history before the first meeting.

How it starts

The process runs in four steps: a free call, a meeting with the dog at home, a plan with a program, timeline and exact price, then a handover to the family. Call 631-405-4220 or 516-261-6440.
