K9 Solutions Academy trains the best dog trainers so you can feel proud of your profession as you help the public with their canine needs. Our program is unique because it is customizable to your goals and takes you where it counts--right into dog owners' homes, the best learning grounds! We will teach you how to train owners and dogs using proven, effective methods. This academy was founded specifically to plug up the holes we encountered in other training programs. Our program is not an ineffective online program, you will be working directly with dogs and dog owners.
You will primarily be working with the company owners themselves, not turned over to assistants. Donnie Hult has over 27 years of experience in dog behavior and training. He is a deputized sheriff officer who worked for years with K9 units both for finding lost people and criminals. He is well versed in scent discrimination, protection training, and search & rescue. Donnie has run a kennel for just as long where he had the fortune to learn dog pack behavior so well. Donnie’s skills cover a wide range of behavior modifications including all forms of aggression.
Sylvie Pleasant has over 14 years of experience in the field. An avid rescue volunteer, Sylvie turned her volunteer work into a fulfilling career. Her primary goal was to keep dogs in their homes and out of shelters. Through the years, Sylvie has perfected her skills in dog behavior and training, speaking, communicating with owners effectively, marketing, and networking skills as well running group classes properly. Having studied under enlightened millionaires for two years now, Sylvie loves sharing her knowledge so you will be a successful, well-rounded business person as well as dog trainer.
K9 Solutions Academy is for individuals who aspire to learn hands-on techniques. We will cover the different methods of teaching dog training commands, the behavior issues you will encounter, proper body language, communicating properly with owners in group settings and at their home, business skills, safety, etc.
The program fee is $6900 and takes 4 months full time. Your application gives us your goals so we can best serve you. Credit cards accepted.
We look forward to being your stepping stone to this rewarding profession.
"I recently graduated the K9 Solutions Academy program. I joined this program over the other programs that I investigated because Sylvie and Donnie provide hands-on training, not just books or online. The experience of working directly with many breeds of canines as well as learning to interact with dog owners in both group classes and their homes was invaluable. I also gained much knowledge on running a business effectively. If you are aspiring to be a professional dog trainer, I highly recommend K9 Solutions Academy."
