Embark on a journey toward comprehensive obedience with our specialized lessons. Beyond teaching standard commands like recall, sit, and heel, we prioritize instilling essential manners.
Pet training isn’t just about your pet. In fact, the most integral part of the training process is you. We work towards building your pet’s confidence with their commands which in turn provides you the confidence to trust them no matter the time or place.
That’s why we work with you to make sure your training package fits your lifestyle and is tailored to what you need. With practical and flexible programs, we will be your premier choice for basic and advanced obedience and your path to a fun and fulfilling life with your pet!
Jeff, a military veteran and former government contractor finds his new passion with working along side our furry friends. Jeff was stationed at Fort Bragg (now known as Fort Liberty), North Carolina at the beginning of 2006.
At Headstrong K9 Training, our approach to dog training transcends standard obedience commands. We believe in cultivating a holistic understanding of your pet’s behavior, focusing on their mental well-being and emotional fulfillment. Our methodology revolves around positive reinforcement and patience, creating an environment where dogs thrive in learning and owners find confidence in their pets’ abilities.
We go beyond the traditional scope of training by integrating essential manners into our programs. Beyond basic commands like sit or recall, we emphasize teaching dogs fundamental manners such as appropriate door behavior, polite interaction during mealtimes, managing excessive barking, and curbing the tendency to jump on people. This holistic approach not only improves your dog’s behavior but also enhances the overall harmony within your household.
Jeff was so patient and so good with Sandy! He took the time to explain everything to me so I could understand the science behind his training. Within the first 1-2 lessons, we were able to tell a difference with Sandy’s behavior and we were able to continue working with her at home to reinforce his teaching. Jeff is very responsive to questions and I never felt rushed during a lesson. Highly recommend!!
Jeff was amazing with our energetic 8-month old chocolate lab. We did a two-week board and train and he came back with all the necessary tools to make a great dog for life. The best part is that he was still the energetic puppy we dropped off, but with outstanding obedience. Jeff was extremely communicative and patient throughout the process. We would highly recommend him. We just got back from a three day backpacking trip with our dog, and he was completely off leash the entire time. It was incredible!!
We had a fabulous experience with Jeff! He took our 3 year old Bernese Mountain dog and turned him into an absolute gentleman. Our Berner could be stubborn and had a mind of his own. He used to race me up or down the stairs practically knocking me over on the way up or down. I never thought this habit could be broken. My Berner now listens to the commands and is so happy to please us! Jeff taught him all the commands that you need as a dog owner and now our Berner is a perfect gentleman. The training is worth every cent!! Thank you Jeff & Allison for this wonderful training!!
Jeff did a two week board and train with our 1 year old GSD/Aussie mix months ago and I’m still shocked by the difference! While she loves my husband, she went to Jeff weary of men and not only gave him hugs and kisses when we picked her up, she has been much better with strangers since! She’s still full of personality, but the training gave us all the confidence to take her new places and give her the freedom she deserves, knowing we can stop/recall her from getting into most dangerous situations! A little crazy runs in both her breeds and I can’t stress enough how wonderful the foundation Jeff laid with her has been! She is going back to Jeff for a week to board while we are on vacation, and we won’t take her anywhere else!
