About Jared Horton’s K9 LLC

What Jared Horton's K9 offers

Jared Horton's K9 LLC is based in Herkimer and publishes its services as one-on-one classes, puppy training, obedience, boarding, tracking, agility and behavior modification. The site's stated goal is "to offer the highest quality services possible, tailoring our courses to the individual dog and owner", with owners meant to finish "educated and confident in handling their dog, in any situation".

Method as described

The business trades under the line "Real World Dog Training", and explains what it means by that: "we don't use gimmicks or guesswork to train dogs. We combine our knowledge of dog behavior and drives with everyday scenarios so that our customers get the best results possible." The site is explicit that there is no one-size-fits-all program, and that the owner is taught alongside the dog. Its systems, it says, were built through hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and backgrounds.

Group classes

A published client review describes graduating from advanced obedience with a German Shepherd and notes that the instructor was able to focus on the specific needs of an individual dog and handler even inside a group class, which confirms that group obedience runs at more than one level.

The rest of the business

Two other sections sit alongside training on the site: boarding, and vom Render German Shepherds. The German Shepherd operation is a separate part of the business from the training service.
