About Kei's K9s

Kei's K9s Dog Training Academy sells customized plans rather than fixed courses. The home page states the principle – "We know each dog is different. That's why all of our training packages have tons of add-ons, so your pup will learn what you want, at a price just for you" – and adds that the owner is taught the method too: "We'll also teach you how we do what we do so that you can continue training at home and polish each behaivor to the max."

What is covered

The site describes packages spanning "basic obedience, advanced behavior modification, or specialized breed/situation training". Day training is offered as an all-in-one option combining walking, playtime and training. A free consultation is offered, with the site advertising 20% off five sessions for booking one.

How pricing works, in the site's own terms

The pricing page explains the model: "Every price seen here is the minimum and maximum that your customized training package can be, depending on what skills, behaviors, or programs you choose for your pup", and the figure quoted at the consultation "will be locked in for the duration of your plan". Puppy training, for which the requirements are given as three months old, fully vaccinated and in good health, runs $30-$45 for a 60-minute session or $120-$180 for day training. Behavioral training, which can start at six months, runs $30-$60 for a basic 60-minute session, $35-$105 for an advanced one, and $130-$220 for day training. Behavior modification is priced case by case, and the page notes it can cost more where the case is severe, giving aggression as its example.
