Aim High K9 provides inboard training at a heated kennel with large indoor/outdoor runs. Inboard training means that you leave your dog with us for a few weeks and at the end of the training you come and pick them up. We do all the hard work for you. Many people ask if someone else trains their dog will they still listen to them? The answer is YES!! Your dog will know that the command means the same thing no matter who is giving them the command. Simply “sit” means to sit no matter who is telling you or what is going on around you. When you pick up your dog we sit down with you and go over the commands and make sure you are comfortable with the training and how to use it. At Aim High K9 we want your complete satisfaction and that’s why we offer a lifetime guarantee on our training.
