Why Choose RSK for Dog Training?

Decades of Experience: Our instructors have over 25 years of hands-on work with dogs—from household companions to advanced working and protection dogs. We’ve seen (and solved!) nearly every dog behavior challenge.
Veteran & Law Enforcement Expertise: We draw on backgrounds in military and police K9, meaning you benefit from real-world, proven training—not internet fads.
Behavior-Based, Not Cookie-Cutter: Every training plan is personalized for your dog’s breed, age, temperament, and your lifestyle or goals.
Comprehensive Programs: From puppy basics and advanced obedience to aggression rehabilitation and tactical K9 work, we cover it all under one roof.
Commitment to You: Our relationship doesn’t end when your dog “graduates.” We’re here for ongoing support, advice, and refresher training as your dog grows.

Our Training Philosophy: Ethology & Relationship Building

Our approach is rooted in ethology—the scientific study of animal behavior—so your dog’s natural instincts and emotional needs are always respected. We teach you how to “speak dog,” so training isn’t just about commands, but about building lasting trust, respect, and harmony.

Positive reinforcement as a core principle—never fear-based techniques
Customized to each dog’s learning style and family environment
Owner education is part of every session—because a well-trained owner means a well-trained dog

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you use treats or corrections?

We primarily use positive reinforcement (treats, praise, toys), but also teach dogs to respond reliably to calm, clear guidance and boundaries—always tailored to your dog’s personality and needs.

Can you help aggressive dogs?

Yes! We specialize in aggression and “difficult” cases that other trainers often refuse. All cases start with a behavioral evaluation.

What’s the best age to start training?

As early as 8 weeks for puppies. It’s never too late—adult and even senior dogs can learn new skills!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about RSK! The staff is truly exceptional, and they have a special way of caring for dogs, especially those with special needs. My dog, Mr. B, absolutely loves it there! He has a favorite person who always takes such great care of him, and it warms my heart to see how much he enjoys his time at the kennel. The love and attention they provide are unmatched, and it’s evident that everyone at RSK adores him too. Thank you for always taking such good care of Mr. B when we’re away! Highly recommend!
