Valor K9 Academy

We discovered Valor K9 Academy through our breeder, Council House Goldens. What a great recommendation. The owners are extremely experienced, professional, dedicated, and compassionate. Valor K9 Academy offers several training options. We chose the Puppy Head Start online course for Oakley our 8-week-old English Cream Golden Retriever. The course covers everything you need to raise your puppy. The 16 modules with instructions and videos not only help you train and raise a puppy, but also educate the owners who may have no experience in dog training. The owners of Valor K9, Amy and Justin, are always available and quick to respond to questions and concerns. Although we laid the foundation for Oakley there were a few areas we needed additional assistance. Justin did an amazing job of getting

Pictured is our pup Xxanto (pronounced Zanto). When my partner first mentioned getting a professionally trained protection dog, I was hesitant. Like many, I’d heard unsettling stories - dogs that were meant to offer safety, but instead created an environment where everyone had to tread carefully in their presence. Owners giving warnings like, “Don’t make eye contact,” or “He’s fine with adults but not with kids,” always left me uneasy. That’s why I was so surprised by Xxanto. Thanks to the rigorous and detailed training he received, I’ve never had to worry about those kinds of issues. Xxanto isn’t just a highly trained protection dog - he’s also a loving, trusted companion. Friends, family, kids and even other animals feel completely at ease around him. Xxanto is more than I ever hoped

Valor K9 Academy has been the biggest blessing to our family and our puppy. Amy worked closely with our family’s needs, wants, and lifestyle to help pick the best dog for our family. With her vast knowledge of breeds and breeders, she helped us every step of the way. She worked closely with the breeder to hand select a puppy perfect for our family. Once we selected our breeder we got to work with the online puppy course. It covers everything you need to know about selecting, bringing home, and training your puppy in the best way possible. We did our homework and by the time our puppy was ready to come home we felt confident and prepared for our growing family. At 3 months old, we did the puppy head start board and train program to set the foundation of success. Amy housed and trained our p

I recently enrolled in Valor K9 Academy's Puppy Training Course in preparation for the German Shepherd puppy I'm purchasing from Valor Protection Dogs. The course is exceptional: well-structured, clear, and incredibly helpful. Amy Pishner's expertise and guidance make the entire process seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to start their puppy off right.

I’m so proud of my 2 distinguished alumni of Valor K9: a 7 year old rescue mix and a 3 year old Boston Terrier. Old dogs can learn new tricks 😊 Samantha Lee exceeded our expectations and hopes for our 3 week board and train in her home 🏡 I am impressed by her knowledge and professionalism. She has helped me better understand our dogs and a home dynamic that better serves their unique natures/issues. Boundaries = Love 🤍 I have worked w dog trainers in the past and I’ve not had such a positive experience. You get what you pay for, Valor K9 is worth every penny 🐶 Thank you for helping our busy family and our fur babies live in harmony 🥹
