EXCELLENT Based on 292 reviews Posted on Karen SteeleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with dog trainer Brendan! He's very knowledgeable on training! Firm yet gentle with commands. He really made me feel like he genuinely loved my dog and wants him to be the best version of his dog-self! Well worth the money, but understand that homework (practice) needs to be done for 100% success! And I love that part of our last class we spent learning a few fun tricks...rollover & sit pretty! Thanks so much Brendan & K9s!Posted on Emily BeaneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super friendly and professional!Posted on StephanieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. K9s Place completely changed our lives in just 5 days. My 3-year-old mini schnauzer is adorable, but he was very reactive toward people and other dogs, which made walks stressful. I used to dread taking him out and would cross the street anytime I saw another person walking their dog. Now he is well behaved around people and so much better around other dogs. Walks are now enjoyable and I feel so much more relaxed and confident with him. The trainers were patient and knowledgeable. I highly recommend K9s Place to anyone dealing with reactivity or behavior issues. Thank you guys!Posted on Leah CaruthersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I took our 7-month-old puppy, Otis, to this facility for their five-day board and train as well as utilizing their “Spaw” services. To say we are impressed is an understatement. Otis is a very happy puppy and wants to greet absolutely everyone (people and other animals alike) when outside to either walk or use the bathroom. We love that he is so friendly but we were worried sick that one day he might approach an animal or person that may not be so friendly or forgiving. Five days after his program, we are happy to report that he has calmed down significantly when in public and listens to us much better than he used to. His trainer worked with him on everything we asked, even using his own vehicle to help Otis practice getting in and out of the car safely. After his training, we took him to their “Spaw” for grooming and were equally impressed with this service. His fur is the softest it’s ever felt although he usually is very nervous after getting groomed, he showed no signs of anxiety when we picked him up. We are so lucky to have found this facility and trust all the staff with Otis completely. We can’t wait to continue to bring our sweet boy here. Thank you K9’s Place!Posted on Rosan GonzalezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found this place online, and I don't regret taking my Cane Corso to obedience classes for a week. My baby is a completely different dog after those classes. He follows simple commands, I can take him to public places to continue his socialization, and he does an incredible job. This is all thanks to the trainers at K9 Place. Thanks, guys, for the excellent work!Posted on AstaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. K9 Place in Melbourne, FL is hands down the best place in the area. I have a senior diabetic dog with Cushing’s, and it was very hard to find someone willing to help. I called in many vet, dog daycare and boarding places and even called a clinic in Orlando, and they refused to take him. K9 Place was completely different — they were kind, flexible, professional, and truly cared about my dog. They worked with my drop-off and pick-up times, and I could tell right away that they love animals and understand what pet owners go through. If you want a place that is caring, reliable, and puts dogs first, K9 Place is the one. I’m very grateful for them and highly recommend them to anyone in the area.Posted on Clay PilkingtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dog is 8.5 years old, and was extremely reactive toward other dogs to the point where I couldn’t take him anywhere and only on short, stressful walks hoping we wouldn’t come across any other dogs. After 2 weeks board and train, now we are going on pack walks and bonding more than ever, training was worth it!! Very thankful for K9’s placePosted on Cynthia JacksonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dog is now a pleasure to walk. This place is incredible!Posted on Dana PomerantzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Going to try out the Board and Train with the newest rescue member of our family, 9 month old Phoenix (Feny) a Grate Dane/Lab mix. She was already learning before we even left the evaluation. Feny was comfortable with the surroundings the entire time we were there. Looking forward to great training!Posted on Mike HoranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of bringing my dog Andy to K9 place for a two week board and train. My dog had problems with walking with the leash and he would pull me. He also was not real good around other people and other dogs. After 2 weeks with all the great trainers and staff he is like another dog. I would highly recommend this great place.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Effective dog training,
real behavior solutions
Is your dog behaving in ways that are embarrassing, stressful, or even potentially dangerous?
Are you tired of begging or bribing your dog to listen?
Are basic activities like walking your dog a miserable and potentially hazardous situation?
Living with a dog should be fun and fulfilling. Having a dog that doesn’t listen can disruptive to your life. You’re not alone, and it’s not your fault! We completely understand and are here to help. We’ll work with you so that you’ll understand why your dog isn’t listening, and we’ll teach you strategies to make permanent behavioral changes.

- Sit
- Down
- Stay
- Place
- Recall (Come)
- Heel
- Quiet
- Leave it
- Out
- Drop it
After working with K9’s place and by following our system, your dog won’t pull or lunge during walks, jump on people, overreact to stimuli in the environment, or behave inappropriately during any situation.

A day train would be you dropping your dog off in the morning with us to train and picking them up in the afternoon, some might refer to this as school. A board and train is when you would drop your dog off with us for a designated period of time and pick them back up a well trained dog!

Play and Learn
These classes are offered in three hour segments one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Drop your 10–16-week-old puppy off for a few hours of our Play and Learn (PAL) program. Puppies are introduced to training in fun ways and are exposed to different objects and noises to socialize and desensitize them. Your puppy will have a blast in class and be learning an abundance of new skills at the same time!

Board and Train
Board and train programs are great opportunities for focused obedience training. Board and trains are most effective in two-week sessions. The K9s Place board and train allows you to drop your dog OR puppy off for a fully immersive two week training program at our facility. This creates a more comprehensive training environment and is well suited for dogs who may need increased supervision or more rigorous training. Click HERE to see pricing.
What does the 2-week obedience board and train program include?
Will I be included in the training process?
What kinds of dogs benefit most from this program?
Board and Train
Aggression is a behavior that is learned, genetic, or innate. When a dog feels threatened or has a lack of confidence, the two responses will be fight or flight. Most dogs will put distance between themselves and the threat, if the threat remains, they will become aggressive.
At K9s place we offer a 3 week aggressive dog board and train. We use a combination of confidence building and desensitizing exercises, as well as, basic obedience training to eliminate the fear and uncertainty that leads to aggression. Once we have established confidence and obedience, we are able to focus on the underlying issues that have caused the aggression in your canine family member.
No one can guarantee 100% success for some dogs that may be totally out of control. At an assessment we will be able to determine how serious the issue is. Three weeks is a minimum for aggressive dogs, it may take longer. Click HERE to see pricing.
