UPDATED: August 2023 - I will be taking private lesson clients on a limited basis for Canine Conditioning and Fitness, Tricks, Conformation, Treibball, or other dog sports, AKC CGC testing Trick Dog Testing, UKC S.P.O.T. Testing, or general manners. Lessons will be held at our new location, inside R+K9 located at 2637 Papermill Road on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
For any new private training needs for BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION (i.e. fear, anxiety, aggression, reactivity - anything beyond the scope of general manners) we are referring to our colleagues Jill at R+K9, and to Connie, also at R+K9 for day training basic manners. Please reach out to them directly at: https://www.rplusk9.com/
All lessons after August 6th will take place at R+K9: 2637 Papermill Rd. Winchester, VA 22601

For those of you requesting ring rental - click the links below. For ring rental you will have the hour to work with your dog on Rally, Conformation or basic obedience. You may bring multiple dogs, but you will need to bring a portable dog crate and work with each dog individually. This is NOT for play group or social hour. Only one dog may be working at a time. Violation of this policy will result in loss of ring rental privileges.
For those of you requesting CGC or S.P.O.T. testing - be aware I need to secure volunteers and dogs to assist with testing, so give me some advanced notice, (like a week) please! Thanks!
In accordance with our shared methodology and training philosophy with R+K9, "Training collars" (choke, prong, e-collar, etc.) are not allowed in this facility at any time, including private ring rental.
