About Lake Stevens K9 Academy

What they offer

Lake Stevens K9 Academy runs group classes at its training facility in downtown Lake Stevens and serves Snohomish County and beyond. Puppy classes run from puppy kindergarten and puppy elementary to a puppy boot camp, and adult classes cover basic manners, intermediate manners, Canine Good Citizen preparation and testing, and nose work. Private training is offered for more spirited dogs, along with pet sitting and walking. Most classes are a set of six weekly sessions of 45 to 50 minutes.
