At Koning Canine Academy, we recognize that no two dogs are the same. Each brings their own personality, emotional world, learning pace, and potential. Behavioral challenges, training gaps, and everyday obedience struggles are not signs of failure; they are signals that a dog needs guidance delivered in the right environment, at the right time, and in the right way.
Our private school for dogs combines the benefits of professional training with the comfort of your dog returning home each evening. During the day, your dog works one-on-one with our trainers to develop reliable behaviors and better manners, while evenings provide opportunities to practice those skills at home with your family. This program is ideal for owners who want professional guidance while remaining closely involved in their dog’s training journey.
There are countless moments that make sharing life with a beloved companion so special. A peaceful walk through the neighborhood, coffee on a patio, greeting friends with confidence, and family vacations. Quiet evenings at home. The simple joy of knowing your companion can be included in more of life’s experiences.
Those moments don’t happen by chance. They are built through understanding.
At Koning Canine Academy, we believe education creates opportunity. It gives dogs the ability to navigate the world with confidence and gives families the freedom to enjoy more of life together. Our goal has never been to simply teach behaviors. Our purpose is to help create a relationship where communication feels natural, trust grows deeper, and everyday moments become more enjoyable.
Whether your companion is joining your family for the first time or simply ready to learn something new, education provides a foundation that lasts a lifetime.
As your companion learns and grows, you’ll begin to experience the difference education can make in everyday life.
Imagine a companion who…
These aren’t simply training goals. They are life skills that create more freedom, more connection, and more opportunities to enjoy the moments that matter most.
Every lesson is about more than teaching a command. It’s about creating clarity, building trust, and helping your beloved companion understand how to successfully navigate the world around them.
When communication improves, frustration begins to fade. Expectations become clear and confidence grows. And the relationship between you and your companion becomes stronger with every shared experience.
That’s the difference education can make.
At Koning Canine Academy, we’re honored to be part of that journey and to help families create a lifetime of meaningful moments with the companions they love.
Private day school at Koning Canine Academy is designed to mirror a structured school day, balancing learning, engagement, exercise, rest, and reinforcement. Each dog will follow a core curriculum developed after assessment, ensuring their day supports both skill development and emotional well-being.
Focused training throughout the day to build practical behaviors such as recall, loose-leash walking, sit, down, place, impulse control, and everyday manners.
Dogs regularly practice relaxing while other dogs are playing, training, or moving around them, developing emotional stability instead of constant excitement.
Throughout the day, dogs move through doors, gates, kennels, and other everyday thresholds, learning patience, clear boundaries, and how to follow guidance.
Purposeful physical activity and play provide healthy outlets for energy while reinforcing confidence, engagement, and appropriate social skills when suitable.
Training is balanced with scheduled downtime, allowing dogs to decompress, process what they’ve learned, and return to each session mentally prepared.
Yes, private dog day school is a fixed 5-week program. Dogs don’t learn on a timeline, and meaningful behavior change can’t be rushed. Progress and “graduation” are based on skill development, confidence, and reliability, not a set number of weeks. Some dogs move faster, while others need more time to truly succeed.
Our course is designed for 3 days per week over 5 weeks, providing consistent training to help your dog build and maintain positive behaviors. Most dogs benefit from multiple days per week, as consistency helps behaviors stick. We’ll recommend a schedule after an assessment that supports progress without overwhelming you or your dog.
Our private day school program is a fixed rate of $2695.00 for the full 5-week program. This flat pricing means no guesswork or hidden costs; you’ll know exactly what you’re investing in from the start. We’ll walk you through everything during your consultation so you understand what’s included and what to expect throughout the program.
Progress varies by dog. Learning is cumulative, and meaningful change develops through consistent training, repetition, owner commitment, and reinforcement.
At Koning Canine Academy, our commitment goes beyond training your dog. We are deeply invested in your success and that of your canine companion. While your dog learns essential skills and behaviors at the Academy, we believe lasting progress happens when pet parents are informed and supported.
We take great pride in coaching and educating owners throughout the process, helping you understand not only what your dog is learning but also how to continue that communication and guidance in everyday life.
