Real solutions for whatever challenges you and your dog are facing.

At Ashton & Co. K9 Academy, we believe every dog has the potential to be confident, well-mannered, and a true companion — and every owner deserves support they can trust. Our academy specializes in balanced, relationship-based training that builds trust and lasting results. 

After our discussion, we'll determine your next best steps, which could be 1-on-1 training, or in-person classes.

 

Or, If your puppy is ready to jump right into class, 

Our OBD 101 Foundations First (Level 1 Obedience) course covers essential skills like sit, down, stay, recall, leave it, place, loose leash walking, and polite social behavior. We also discuss common behavior challenges and offer plenty of real-world distractions to practice around. It’s the perfect starting point for building communication and structure with your dog.​

Helping Dogs and Their People Thrive

Everyone deserves the opportunity to build a better relationship with their dog. Our Training Assistance Grants cover the cost of our Foundations First course — so more dogs and their people can succeed together.

If training costs are a concern, we invite you to apply. This program exists to make sure more dogs and their people get the help they need.

I'm currently in my 3rd class with my Border Collie, Oliver. I cannot sing enough good praises for Ashton. Oliver and I love "school", that's what Oliver understands, at Ashton & Co K9 Academy!!

We just finished basic obedience & cannot wait to start our next class! We were a little nervous taking Oakley, but it helped her tremendously!! We can’t wait to see the progress she continues to make while taking these classes!

Our dog Sailor is extremely spunky and rambunctious but with Ashton's help we've been able to communicate correctly with her. Sailor has become a better listener because of Ashton's classes. Highly recommend!

Great experience for both me and my dog. The instructors are passionate about dogs and great at teaching you how to trust your dog. Rosie is an older dog and she is learning new tricks. We just signed up for a 3rd session!
