About Blue Mountain K-9

About Blue Mountain K-9

Blue Mountain K-9 has operated as a dog activity center on Grafton Road in Morgantown since 2009. The business describes itself as five core services under one roof — training, boarding, daycare, grooming and pool programs — with large outdoor fields, indoor training and play spaces, and a separate area for smaller dogs.

Training programs

The site lists 12 specialized training programs spanning puppy foundations through advanced work. Named programs include private lessons, board and train, behavior modification for aggression, anxiety, fear and reactivity, group obedience classes, protection training, AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy, AKC Canine Good Citizen, and maintenance training to keep existing skills sharp. Every training relationship starts with an in-person evaluation of the dog's temperament and the owner's goals before a program is recommended.

Who runs it

Founder and head trainer Andrew Pintus states over 15 years of professional dog training experience and a background in the Sheriff's Department, and describes himself as an AKC-certified evaluator with over 1,000 hours of training classes. The stated mission is to provide dog training and care in North Central West Virginia and to educate owners alongside their dogs.

Practical details

Published board-and-train pricing puts the four-week Family Dog Plan at $2,500, with optional add-ons for e-collar training and advanced heeling. The business works with all breeds and sizes, from 16-week-old puppies upward, and says it serves North Central West Virginia including Fairmont, Clarksburg and Bridgeport, with some clients traveling from further afield. AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy and Canine Good Citizen testing are offered on site.
