Professional Dog Training for Every Stage of Your Dog’s Life
Every dog has the potential to be calm, obedient, and confident — but getting there takes the right training approach. At Mid-State K9, we offer structured, results-driven programs designed to address real-world behaviors, from basic obedience and puppy foundations to serious behavioral and aggression challenges. Our training focuses on clear communication, consistency, and building trust, so your dog learns how to behave at home, in public, and around distractions — not just in a training room.
Aggressive Dog Training
Mid-State K9 offers specialized training for dogs exhibiting aggression or highly reactive behaviors. Their Behavior Modification Program is designed to safely address growling, snapping, biting or other dangerous responses through expert behavior work and customized training strategies. This program typically spans several weeks and uses structured exercises to build trust, calmness, and proper responses in challenging situations. Trainers assess root causes of aggression, tailor interventions, and help dogs become safer, more controlled companions.
Key highlights:
-
Designed for reactive or aggressive dogs needing focused behavior change.
-
Structured, multi-week behavior modification.
-
Emphasis on safety, confidence building, and better owner–dog communication.
Obedience Training
Obedience training at Mid-State K9 focuses on teaching reliable baseline skills that make daily life with your dog calmer and more enjoyable. Delivered through their Board & Train programs, dogs are immersed in structured learning with expert handlers, then owners are coached on maintaining progress at home.
Common obedience foundations include:
-
Loose leash walking — walk like you mean it.
-
Basic commands like sit, down, stay, and recall.
-
Off-leash obedience (in advanced courses).
-
Home manners, including behavior and reactivity refinement.
Training is personalized based on your dog’s temperament and lifestyle, helping them become a well-mannered member of your household.
Puppy Training
While not always shown as a separate standalone page on the site, puppy training is implicitly part of the foundation programs offered:
What’s typically included:
-
Early socialization (confidence around people & environments).
-
Introduction to core commands (sit, recall, leave it).
-
Establishing good habits from the start (e.g., manners, focus, leash walking).
This kind of work helps set lifelong behavior standards early, preventing future issues and creating a strong bond between you and your pup.
