About Optimum K9 Services

Programs

Optimum K9 offers board-and-train programs (a 10-day option for puppies aged 10 weeks to 4 months, plus 2-week, 3-week and 4-week programs for dogs 5 months and older), private training for puppies and older dogs, and group training classes. The site also lists police K9 training. Board-and-train programs cover basic commands, basic behavioral corrections, and potty training, with an emphasis on structure and socialization.

Method and Trainer

Training is led by Pete Genovese, described on the site as a certified Master Trainer with the United Police Work Dog Association. The program uses e-collar methodology; one testimonial notes the trainer teaches owners "how to use the e-collar the right way." During board-and-train stays, dogs live in Pete’s home with his family.
