Audax K9 Academy

I have trained with Kim and Jason at Audax for over a year, and their expertise has been instrumental in developing both my dogs’ skills and my handling abilities. Their training is thoughtful, effective, and grounded in a strong understanding of evidence based canine behavior. When I’m there, I always learn something new. Kim and Jason consistently provide clear, actionable feedback and excel at identifying and addressing specific training challenges. Their focus on engagement, obedience, and real-world reliability—particularly with working breeds—sets them apart from many trainers in the area. Audax offers a wide range of training opportunities, and it is evident that Kim and Jason genuinely care about the dogs they work with. I highly recommend Audax and their exceptional team.

I have had the privilege of working with Kim and Jason, the incredible owners and dog trainers at Audax, for close to 2 years and they have been instrumental in helping me train and build a remarkable relationship with my Belgian Malinois pup. I cannot speak highly enough of their expertise, dedication, and the results they have helped both me and my dog achieve! One of the aspects that truly sets Kim and Jason apart is their knowledge and active feedback. They consistently provide valuable guidance and support, ensuring that every training session is productive and tailored to our specific needs (even in a larger group class!) Their deep knowledge of dog behavior and psychology, grounded in scientific understanding, forms the foundation of their training methods, guaranteeing that every

We’ve been training Frank for the past two years and it’s been an amazing transformation, from a rambunctious puppy to a well behaved dog. Every class I learn new ways to train him and build on top of what we have learned the previous week. Through training, I’ve built a strong connection with my dog that allows me to enjoy every minute with him. I’m so grateful to have found such competent trainers to help us with some aggressive behavior towards other dogs when he became a teenager. Now Frank can go to Doggy Daycare and enjoy playing with many friends.

I can’t recommend Audax enough! Kim & Jason are incredibly knowledgeable, respectful, and clearly passionate about what they do. We completed puppy empowerment & are currently working through their basic obedience group class. They take the time to explain the science behind effective dog training and are always happy to answer any questions along the way. They have also gone above and beyond to understand our pups unique personality and tailored tools and training recommendations to fit his needs. If you’re looking for professional, effective, and genuinely caring dog trainers, this is the place to go. Thank you Kim & Jason!

Highly recommend Kimberly and Jason's training company Audax K9. I've been using them for a year now. It's a family owned multi generation business. They also breed very high-quality working line german shepherds They have decades of experience with both working breed/guard breeds as well as all other breeds. IMO I would describe the training as a balanced approach, that has a focus on positive first (R plus), engagement/relationship with the dog (play and food drive), and fairness to the dog. I appreciate that they are blunt and to the point when needed. They have a good direct teaching style that will teach the owner/handler how to train their own dog, and that will carry forward to future dogs and at home. They focus on details and provide a lot of 1-1 feedback and examples in group l
