We're located in Creston, CA on 625 private acres. We proudly serve the Central Coast and surrounding areas. We work with clients throughout the San Luis Obispo County and beyond, including Santa Barbara, Ventura, Monterey, and Bakersfield for select services. Even out of state!

All our programs begin with a free training application. Once submitted, we'll review it and schedule a brief phone call or an in person Introductory Lesson where we'll assess your dog and give you some actionable steps to help set you and your dog up for future success. If we believe you're a good fit, we'll recommend the program best suited to your needs.

Every dog is different, so pricing isn't a one size fits all. Our programs are customized based on your dog's behavior, your goals, and the level of training needed.

Every Board & Train Program is customized to the individual dog. Most programs range from 3-10 weeks, but the length of time ultimately depends on your dog's behavior, learning pace, and training needs. We never rush the process just to meet a pre-set timeline.

Our philosophy is to train the dog in front of us. We use positive reinforcement and build confidence while incorporating all four quadrants of operant conditioning when appropriate. Every training plan is based on the individual dog and family situation, training tools and methods are chosen carefully to make training a good experience for everyone. We will recommend what we believe will best benefit the dog and is subject to owner approval. The guiding principal is what will achieve the owner's training goals safely and ethically.

With almost 10 years of professional, we've worked with everything from puppies to severe behavioral cases. Our background includes animal welfare, shelter behavior, Board & Train programs, working dogs, and competitive dog sports. we are AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluators and continue pursuing ongoing education because learning never stops.

At K9 805 we intentionally keep our numbers low so every dog receives the individualized attention, hands on training, and exceptional care they deserve. We believe quality should never be compromised, which is why your dog will never be treated like just another kennel number. We also pride ourselves on transparency and open communication. We want you to feel informed, supported and confident every step of your dog's training journey.
