K9one L.L.C. is the nation’s industry leader in dog training and K-9 services. Our founder, Chris Byrne, was the K-9 Bomb detection supervisor for the World Trade Center recovery mission following the attacks of September 11th, 2001. Chris brings with him a lifetime of experience (more than 3 decade) training dogs and people for Law Enforcement, the Military Working Dog Program, Security Patrols, Drug and Bomb Detection and the entertainment industry since 1988. After working at ground zero for a year, Chris refocused his energies and expertise towards the pet owner/Companion dog market and now, our most rewarding work is training family companion animals and their owners.
Resolving serious behavioral or confidence issues or rehabilitating over-aggressive or fearful dogs is our specialty. When most Dog Trainers are not up-to the task we welcome the challenge. Today, many clients bring us their young puppies (as young as 8 weeks for some breeds) for a head start in life which includes crate training and obedience with a lifetime guarantee. We guarantee our training programs for the life of your dog and there is no dog that we cannot train. We are here to provide a lifetime of support for you and your beloved dog.
Our training philosophy is based on decades of experience and research conducted here in the US and Europe. Utilizing psychology and the proven scientific dog-training methods and principles of conditioning we teach from the dogs’ perspective. This allows us to achieve real and lasting results. Positive motivation, balanced training, repetition, consistency, timing and patience are the key to creating lasting change in companion dogs and working dogs alike. Working and training in a fair and balanced way allows the dog and owner relationship to reach and maintain the greatest communication between dog and owner.
“Obedience is 100% about the relationship between dog and owner”
We are a goal-oriented company that takes pride in knowing we bring harmony to the lives of the dogs we train and their owners. A well-trained dog will bring many years of joy, companionship, security and comic relief. An untrained dog can be an endless source of stress, embarrassment and become a liability. We hope to assist you and your pet to get the most out of life.
K9one L.L.C. has trained thousands of dogs, more than 200 breeds of dogs from 47 States and 11 countries, all participating in our “away from home” 6 week In-Kennel Dog Training program. Please call us anytime to learn more at 860-491-2202 Ext.1
