Things to Know
K9University’s Hybrid Training Programs are designed to combine the benefits of professional hands-on training with owner involvement and coaching. Unlike traditional board and train programs, hybrid training allows dogs to receive structured training repetition, real-world exposure, confidence building, and professional guidance during the day while still allowing owners to remain actively involved throughout the process.
These programs are ideal for owners who:
• Feel overwhelmed or inconsistent with training
• Want additional hands-on support
• Have busy schedules
• Want faster progress and accountability
• Need help generalizing behaviors into real-world environments
• Want guidance beyond weekly lessons alone
During day train days, dogs work directly with K9University on customized training goals through structured sessions, environmental exposure, confidence building, obedience work, and real-world practice. Owners then participate in private coaching sessions to learn how to properly maintain and apply training at home and in everyday life.
At K9University, we believe long-term success happens when both the dog and owner are educated, supported, and actively involved in the process.
Hybrid Training Important Notes:
• Hybrid training is not daycare or overnight boarding
• Owners remain an essential part of the training process
• Day train scheduling is limited and based on current availability
• Hybrid programs are currently offered during designated training weeks
• Dogs must be crate trained or comfortable safely resting between training rotations
• Additional training days may be available for existing clients based on scheduling and availability
All Hybrid Programs Include:
• Written training recaps and homework
• Access to K9University educational resources and guides
• Ongoing communication and support throughout the program
• Customized training plans based on individual dog and owner needs
