About Virginia k9

Virginia K9 is Patricia Brown's practice – "Virginia K9 Dog Training, formerly Trish's Dog Training, specializes in basic obedience, behavioral modifications, and mild aggression cases." The site says "With over five years of experience, owner Trish is an expert in dog training and can work with any dog, regardless of breed or age."

Services

The published service list is the clearest thing on the site: puppy training for dogs under eight months, one-on-one training, group training classes, pack walks, walk and train, pet sitting, a Canine Good Citizen program described as "Ten skills for polite dogs", and a wedding package for couples who want the dog in the ceremony. The core delivery is in the home: "Offering in-home private lessons and training programs for clients in Southwest Virginia".

Method

The services page states that "Our experienced trainers use positive reinforcement methods to teach your dog new skills and behaviors", with programs tailored to each dog's personality and goals. Getting started runs through a scheduled evaluation.

The team

Trish is described as having completed a program geared toward dog psychology; ask which body ran it. A second team member, Sammi, is described as coming from the rescue and veterinary world and having worked extensively with her own reactive dog.

Recognition

The site lists Better Business Bureau accreditation and "2025 Best of Roanoker Gold Winner" and "2024 Best of Roanoker Silver Winner" awards. Ask about prices.
