Our Dog Training Services

Cloud 9 Canine offers a variety of dog training services for any schedule, all owner experience levels, and diverse learning goals. Our training services are designed to meet you and your dog where you are at and provide the support to get you where you want to be. C9C dog trainers are credentialed through the nationally-accredited Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers and required to uphold standards for ethical practice, continuing education, and client-centered service.

Our Values

+R Training Paradigm: Training considers the holistic needs of the dogs we work with. The physical, emotional, and mental well-being of your dog is prioritized in the careful implementation of all training interventions.
Client-Centered Goals: There are two ends to a leash, and successful training outcomes are defined by both ends! We believe in openly meeting you & your dog wherever you are and coming alongside you to get you where you want to be.
Top-Down Approach: When changing or teaching behavior, we first work with you and your dog to examine the root causes of behavior to design effective intervention plans for your dog.
Universal Learners: As your dog learns from you, so you will learn from your dog, and your trainer will learn from the experience of working as part of your team–we believe everyone participating equally in the learning process facilitates the most progress.

We hold strongly to our beliefs in advocating for ethical and evidence-based practice in the pet industry. We have attached position statement guidelines from two accredited national organizations below to openly provide the general public with an idea of how we apply these values to our training services.

Service Area & Training Facility Location

The blue shaded area is our primary service area—residences in this address are eligible for any service in-home. The gray shaded area is our extended service area, which we can serve at an extended visit (2 hour) minimum. The yellow landmark is our office and training space at 1613 Riverview Drive.

If you would like to come in to see our training space prior to attending training, clients are welcome to stop by during our office hours; however, visitors must:

– Have a client account with a signed Service Agreement Contract on file prior to visiting.
– Leave their dogs at home, or make arrangements in advance to bring their dog along when it is safe and non-disruptive to the dogs receiving services on the floor.
– Remain in the lobby until welcomed back to the training floor for the safety of all parties present in the space (i.e, we serve fearful and reactive pets that may not be ready to have a stranger entering their space during their private session).

We appreciate your understanding.
