About KProK9

What they do

KProK9 is a trainer network rather than a single facility, and the Georgia end of it covers Camden County, St Marys and Brunswick – the site lists that area together with Jacksonville, Yulee and Fernandina Beach across the Florida line. The training ladder is published in full: group classes, puppy packages, a manners boot camp, basic, intermediate, advanced and elite obedience, an in-home evaluation, behavior modification, service dogs and mantrailing. Three delivery formats are offered – group classes, private training at your own home, and board and train, which takes place in the home of a KProK9 trainer rather than a kennel.

Method

The site describes a reward-based method chosen to be, in its words, the most gentle and least restrictive so that each dog's personality is preserved, and characterizes it as balancing reward and gentle consequence. It states that its trainers are certified in-house to its own industry standard, which is a claim the business makes about itself rather than an external credential.

Worth knowing

Which package a dog goes into is decided after an evaluation rather than chosen off the menu. Discounts are advertised for military, first responder and medical personnel, and for pet industry professionals.
