Our Mission
At K9 Paws Behavior Dog Training, we are dedicated to enhancing the bond between dogs and their owners. Our mission is to provide effective training solutions that promote positive behavior and obedience in your canine companion.
K9 Paws Behavior Dog Training is not a cookie cutter program. Every dog and every owner receive individualized attention and respect. We understand that each team has unique needs, learning styles, and goals, which is why we tailor every training plan to set both ends of the leash up for success.
By using safe, humane, and proven methods, we create a positive learning environment that strengthens trust, communication, and confidence. Our personalized approach ensures that every dog and owner gets the dedicated support they deserve.
Training Programs
K9 Paws Behavior Dog Training offers a wide variety of classes to support dogs at every stage of their training journey. Our programs include our top-rated Puppy Kindergarten, Adult Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert Obedience, along with Novice Parkour and UKC SPOT Classes. We also provide specialized training for Therapy Dogs, Service Dogs, Detection K9s, Search and Rescue, and Human Remains Detection (HRD) K9s. Each class is designed to strengthen communication, build confidence, and enhance real-world reliability using safe, humane, and proven training methods.
Certified Trainers Matter
Certified Professional Dog Training Services
At K9 Paws Behavior Dog Training, we set the standard for excellence by holding Master Trainer Certifications through the internationally recognized American Society of Canine Trainers International (ASCTI). This distinction is earned through more than just attendance or time in the field. These certifications reflect a deep commitment to professional integrity, as they are awarded only when a trainer demonstrates exceptional skill, real-world experience, knowledge, and accountability. What sets ASCTI apart - and in turn, sets us apart - is that certification is NOT based on the number of years a person has trained, how many dogs they've worked with, or whether they've completed a course. It is performance based, requiring proof of ability through hands-on demonstration, strict evaluation, and adherence to ethical and professional standards. This aligns directly with our mission: to provide every client and their dog with safe, effective, and humane training rooted in real results - not theory. When you choose K9 Paws Behavior Dog Training, you're choosing a program led by certified professionals who are held to the highest standards in the industry.

Help K9 Falcon Get a ballistic vest campaign
K9 Falcon is ASCTI Certified as Cadaver K9 (HRD). Currently, she is the only certified HRD K9 in Mohave County, Arizona. Our environment contains many hazards that can cause her serious injury. Thanks to Spikes K9 Fund, we are able to fundraise for a Ballistic Vest that is custom made to fit her. We are close to our 10% goal, but still have a way to go to be able to pay for the vest we need. Help to keep her safe.
