About Club K-9 Training Center

A 25-year fixture for group classes

Club K-9 Training Center is owned by Cris Doss, who the site says "has been training and showing dogs since a very young age." The center's biggest selling point is longevity and stability: it has operated from the same indoor location for 25 years, and the site notes that "thousands of dogs have passed through our doors." For owners who value an established, dedicated training space over a pop-up or in-home setup, that track record stands out.

Sport-oriented class lineup

This is a classes-first, sport-friendly operation. The lineup includes Puppy Kindergarten, Basic/Intermediate/Advanced Obedience, Rally Obedience, Scent Work, Agility, Conformation, Canine Good Citizen testing, Tricks, and Canine Conditioning. The methods are explicitly described as "positive reinforcement methods that we teach at Club K-9," so owners can expect a reward-based environment.

The site backs up its results by pointing to the owner's own dog, Freyja, who earned multiple AKC titles including CGC, CD, and various Scent Work and Trick Dog certifications by ten months old – a concrete demonstration of what the methods can produce. The center emphasizes that it has a physical indoor location rather than outdoor or in-home alternatives. Pricing isn't published, so contact them for class schedules and fees. This is a strong fit for owners wanting structured group classes or a path into AKC dog sports.
