The K9 Collective

Previously known as Vigilant K9

Confidence. Clarity. Connection

Welcome!

Our focus is to help dogs and owners build calm, confident partnerships
through clear communication and structured training. Whether you're dealing with
reactivity, leash pulling, or just want better manners, our personalized programs are
designed to meet your dog where they are - and bring out their best!
Our Mission:
To create  balanced dogs and empowered owners. We believe training
should feel natural, rewarding, and built on mutual trust - not frustration or confusion.
Every session focuses on mindset, structure, and real-life success. 
Our Services:
  • Private Training
One-on-One sessions tailored to your goals. We work with you and your dog to
build focus, confidence, and lasting obedience - at home and out in the real world. We 
offer these lessons individually and in groups of 4, 8, or 12 lessons! 
  • Day Training
Drop your dog off for a day of professional training and enrichment. They'll learn skills,
practice calm socialization, and come home tired, happy, and better behaved. These programs are scheduled out by the week and days vary based on availability.
  • Board and Train
The most immersive option - your dog stays with a professional trainer for a full program of obedience, manners, and mindset development. Perfect for busy owners or dogs needing a reset. Our training goal isn't just quick results - we want lasting transformation. While short-term board and train programs may promise fast progress, true behavior change takes time, consistency, and follow through at home. This is why our baord and train programs start at 3 weeks and go into 6+ weeks if needed.
