How Our Puppy Training Program Works
Your journey to a well-mannered puppy begins with a consultation call, allowing us to grasp your needs and evaluate your puppy’s behavior.
- 1. Initial Phone Consultation
- 2. Contract Sign Up
Your path to a well-mannered puppy starts here. During this call, our main goal is to thoroughly understand your needs and assess your puppy’s behavior. This ensures that we can design a training program that’s just right for your little furball.
After the Phone Consultation:
Once we’ve got a comprehensive understanding of the best way to assist your puppy, we’ll walk you through the subsequent steps to get both you and your puppy ready for the training journey. We can also schedule an on-site evaluation at our facility. This allows us to observe your puppy in a different environment and further tailor the training program to suit their needs.
This step is where you officially commit to your puppy’s transformation. The contract will discuss everything you can expect with our Puppy Training Program, from online courses to one-on-one sessions in our facility with our trainer for hands-on support once per week. It also outlines the terms of our agreement, ensuring that both parties are protected during the training program.
After Signing the Contract:
After you’ve signed the contract, you can expect the following:
- Online course to deepen your understanding: You will receive access to our exclusive online course tailored to our clients. This will provide background on basic training methods and offer insight into puppy behavior.
- One-on-One Training: We then schedule an in-person session for yourself and your puppy. One-on-one training sessions are personalized to your puppy’s needs and are aimed at meeting the specific goals you’ve outlined during our phone consultation.

Jennie SantanaNovember 16, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give 100 stars I would! We did the board and train and it is an absolutely amazing program. We were at a dead end with Blue because he had horrible fear based dog reactivity. But we are so glad and so proud to say that our Blue has his confidence back and we are super impressed with all information and tools provided to us. We feel well educated and confident to continue Blue's training. Our trainer Erika has done a beautiful job with Blue & was so patient and thorough while answering all of our questions. Highly recommend you guys to everyone! Pamella GrilloNovember 13, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an overall amazing experience with the hybrid private training program at K9 Mania with my 1 year old Labradoodle Tucker. Our trainer Gabby was truly amazing throughout the entire program, constantly adjusting course material to best suit my dog, his needs, and how he learns best. Over the 5 weeks, Tucker became more confident, neutral and far less reactive than going into the program. Prior to this program going on walks was a tough task, with constant pulling and barking at other dogs. It’s safe to say that has been essentially entirely worked out at this point and he is able to walk calmly in a heel and walk past other dogs without reactivity. It’s truly an amazing transformation. I recommend this program to anyone who is highly motivated to put in the daily work with your dog, because you definitely get out of it what you put in, but Gabby was there for us every step of the way! I look forward to taking the tools we learned over the last 5 weeks and continuing to build on it all. Thank you K9 Mania & thank you Gabby! Courtney LipsonNovember 12, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot thank K9 Dog Mania and our trainer Natalie enough for the transformation they made in our dog, Goose! She went from anxious and unpredictable to confident, well-behaved, and so much happier. Natalie was incredible—always responsive and supportive, even after Goose came home, and she’s continued to be there whenever we have questions about her training. At first, we were nervous about sending Goose to a board-and-train program, but Natalie and her team put us at ease right away. We could tell Goose loved Natalie and all the techs who cared for her, which made the whole experience so much better. It was clear she was in good hands and truly thriving during her stay. Sending your dog to board & train is a big decision, but it has completely changed our relationship with Goose for the better. If you're considering it, I highly recommend K9 Dog Mania for anyone wanting an immediate, positive impact on their dog's behavior and confidence. Thank you, Natalie, and everyone at K9 Dog Mania! Bridgette MastaglioNovember 11, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. K9 Mania is amazing!!! We brought our boy Bodie for their 3 week training and he is SO well-behaved now!!! Everywhere we go we get compliments. His trainer James Shannon was an absolute gem- so kind, caring and clearly a dog whisperer!!! He sent regular communications including pictures and videos of Bodie's progress keeping us well-informed on how he was doing. I highly recommend K9- and James if you can get him. :) Also- they go all out with seasonal and holiday decorations, so cute!!! Kathleen OHaraNovember 10, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was truly delighted to have James as our trainer for my twin Bernedoodles for the duration of their stay at K9 Mania. He was incredibly patient with my anxious girl doodle, Maggie and my headstrong doodle, Shamrock. James commitment to delivering outstanding service exceeded my expectations. His expertise in dog behavior was essential to the success of Maggie & Shamrock’s training. Working with James was a pleasure and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with their dogs. Andreas HoffbauerNovember 10, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Natalie transformed our dog! Our puppy went from refusing to walking and hyper reactive to being able to calmly navigate crowded and loud spaces. We have been able to fly with him, take him to work, and long walks where he is always by our side and under control. Natalie far exceeded our expectations and what we could have hoped for our relationship with our puppy. If you want an incredibly trained dog, request Natalie! tammy chenNovember 9, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Natalie has far exceeded my expectations! She has transformed my dogs to the best behaved dogs that I get complimented everywhere I go on how well behaved my dogs are! I would give Natalie 100 stars if I could!!! I’ve been able to take my puppies on an airplane, to a conference, restaurants and they stay right by my side! Natalie thank you sooooo much!

Polo adores everyone, he had an excellent experience and learning, I am very grateful for how much love and attention they gave him😍😍 John CardonaNovember 5, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We sent our corgipoo Nero for the 4 week boarding and training, the entire staff was amazing from beginning to end! Jayden, her trainer was the cherry on top he was simply fantastic with Nero and was always patient to send us photos and is extremely knowledgeable. Everyone in the facility showed that they love all of the dogs under their care and showed Nero all of the love she could want in our absence. They were able to address all of the concerns we had with our little girl. I will honestly recommend K9mania to everyone i know for how good we were treated and how amazing and well behaved our precious girl came out due to Jayden and the staffs diligence and experience!Load moreVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
