About Next-Step K9

What they offer

Next-Step K9 trains dogs of every size and age from Puyallup. A four-week Puppy Foundations package covers dogs under six months, and private session packages range from on-leash basic obedience to off-leash obedience with a reliable recall under distraction. The site says private work also addresses pulling, reactivity and aggression, house manners and crate training. Three board and train programs run at the business's facility, each with a guide for keeping results going at home, and group classes are offered to dogs that have trained with it before.

How they train

The site describes reality-based training aimed at a dog that is calm and confident in public, built around handler engagement, with off-leash packages using e-collar training. Sessions are tailored to the dog in front of the trainer.
