About Custom K9 Dog Training

Obedience and dog psychology in Elkton

Custom K9 Dog Training is a dog training business based in Elkton and established in nearby St. Augustine. Its approach combines basic obedience work with the application and understanding of dog psychology, with the goal of making the owner the "Pack Leader" and earning the dog's respect for a closer bond. The trainers believe every puppy and adult dog should know the basic commands, and their method also works to modify unwanted behavior such as aggression, over-exuberance or lack of confidence. Graduates work toward becoming an AKC-registered Good Citizen.

Programs

Custom K9 offers customized programs, problem solving, group and private lessons, confidence building, indoor training and fitness and fun for all breeds and temperaments. The basic obedience group class runs as a 10-week series of Saturday classes of about an hour each, starting with an orientation without dogs, at $250 per dog, payable by cash, check or Zelle.
