About BackyardK9

BackyardK9 is a small Columbia training operation working through private lesson packages rather than a class timetable. Its site is a single page, and what it says about itself is plain: it aims to help owners struggling with unwanted behaviors at home who feel frustrated or overwhelmed.

What it does

The focus is practical manners for everyday life, at home, in the neighborhood and out in public, for dogs of all ages. Lesson packages are put together around the issues the owner and dog face day to day rather than sold as a fixed curriculum. Phone and video consultations and lessons are available on request. Business hours are listed as Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Two trainers

The site's navigation lists two trainers, Trey and Danny, each with their own page. Both of those pages currently return a 404 error, so no further detail about either is available from the business's own site.

A note in its favor

The home page ends with something not many training businesses put in writing: if none of its programs match what an owner is looking for, it invites the owner to ask for a referral to another local trainer who may fit better. That is a fair signal about how the business handles a case outside its lane.
