About NC K9 LLC

A training farm in Four Oaks

NC K9 LLC runs its business from a 38-acre farm in Four Oaks, Johnston County, a few minutes from I-95 and I-40. It says it is about 35 minutes outside Raleigh and serves clients from across the Raleigh area. The farm has a classroom, a multipurpose training building, fields for obedience and tracking, ponds and a swimming pool.

Programs

Services listed on its site are board and train (a farm stay-and-train), puppy training, one-on-one private training, behavior modification for biting and reactive dogs, police K9 training and training seminars. Board-and-train dogs are housed in a climate-controlled building next to the main residence.

Method

The site states plainly: 'We are balanced dog trainers', using both positive and negative reinforcement. It cites more than 20 years of experience.

What to ask

Ask how long a board-and-train stay runs, what follow-up lessons are included, and whether private sessions happen at the farm or at your home.
