The Modern K9 realizes every canine is an individual. With each individual dog comes unique personalities, goals, and needs. We use a variety of methods on a case by case basis to achieve these goals. 

We are a balanced training facility. We rely primarily on positive reinforcement and  rewarding dogs for good behavior using marker words in combination with treats, toys, praise, play, and whatever else motivates the dog. This is especially true when laying foundations and training new skills. We don't believe it is fair to punish a dog that hasn't been taught the correct behavior clearly and consistently through positive reinforcement first.

With this being said, we do not limit ourselves to only positive reinforcement. We believe that dogs can understand right versus wrong. For effective communication, we use a variety tools which can include food, toys, treats, leash pressure, non-marker words, prong collars, and electronic collars. We are committed to training in a way that is fair to the dog and promotes mutual respect between canine and owner. 

Drop-off is from 6:00-9:00 a.m. and pick-up is from 4:00-7:00 p.m. We can be very flexible if you need a time outside of this time frame.

We do offer payment plans through Affirm & Klarna for board & train and daycare packages, please email us to set up!
