About Best Pals K9 Training

Training for every age in Rosepine

Best Pals K-9 Training is a dog training business on Johnnie B. Hall Memorial Hwy in Rosepine, serving all of Vernon, Beauregard and Calcasieu Parish, including Fort Polk. Its trainer, Katelyn, is named throughout client reviews, and training runs as private lessons, including at clients' homes, or as board and train. Best Pals aims to recommend only the training a dog actually needs, and describes obedience as a two-way conversation that builds impulse control, focus and a more trusting bond, especially for nervous dogs.

Programs

Puppy training comes in two stages: a Beginner Program for 9 to 15 weeks focused on early socialization and foundations, and a Star Pup Program for 16 to 22 weeks that tackles trickier adolescent behaviors, with potty training, kennel training and AKC STAR Puppy among the topics. Older dogs can work on house manners and basic obedience, public access and advanced obedience, off-leash reliability, and behavior modification for aggression. The Off-Leash Program, its most popular, is customized from calm on-leash walks to full off-leash reliability. The AKC Family Dog Program covers Canine Good Citizen, Trick Dog, Fit Dog and more, and therapy dog training includes the evaluations needed for certification, with volunteer work through Reading with Pals.
