About Integrity K9 Trainers

Integrity K9 in Idalou

Integrity K9 Trainers, known as IK9, runs its Lubbock-area location at 1014 W 7th St in Idalou, with Aaron Scarborough as the contact (806-616-6195); a second location operates in Amarillo. The team works toward making the family dog a full part of family life through structure and boundaries, and describes its trainers as versatile, choosing whatever tools, methods and equipment fit an owner's goals. Aaron specializes in family dynamics, including bringing a new puppy into the household, and has a special bond with Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

Off-leash and e-collar work

IK9 focuses on off leash and family integration training and uses a modern training collar it likens to a TENS unit, meant to keep a dog's attention on the owner instead of the distractions around it.
