Liberty K9

Police-K9 background

Liberty K9 in Waynesville is owned by Dakota Tuck, described as a "former Police K9 handler" with "extensive experience" from K9 unit work. That law-enforcement background is the main credential the site leans on, signaling comfort with structured obedience and higher-level control work.

Classes plus tiered board-and-train

Services include puppy classes (for dogs 5 months and younger), private lessons (eight one-hour sessions), and board-and-train programs offered in 8-, 16-, and 24-day tiers, plus a $10 dog wash. The obedience curriculum covers sit, down, place, heel, recall, door obedience, off/no, kennel, and vehicle loading, and the program builds in "go-home training for owners" so handoffs stick. Training runs out of a newly renovated facility on Cook-Jones Rd. The site emphasizes a "safe, effective, and supportive training environment" but doesn't name a specific methodology or list certifications, so owners drawn to the police-handler pedigree and flexible live-in options will find the strongest fit.
