Sarasota and Charlotte Counties
Board and train dog training in Englewood, Florida
Englewood sits west of us on the coast, straddling the Sarasota and Charlotte county line.
Englewood is west of North Port, out toward Manasota Key and the beaches, and it is split between Sarasota and Charlotte counties.
Beach towns are a specific challenge for dog owners. Sand, surf, other people’s off-leash dogs, wildlife and heat all pull at a dog’s attention at once. An obedience foundation that only works in a back yard will not hold up out there — so we do not stop at the back yard.
Dogs from Englewood board with us in North Port, work every day for the length of their program, and come home with a hands-on handover so you know how to keep it going.

These are Google reviews, in our clients' own words.
From the first consultation, Kelly and Chad demonstrated deep insight into both dog psychology and owner communication. They tailored every session to my dog's personality, blending positive reinforcement with clear structure. The results were remarkable...
Picture a 75lb 6 month old puppy. That’s my Cooper and he was getting out of control. I’ve had dogs all my life but Cooper is a unique and powerful breed. I kinda gawked at the prices for training, all over the place. I knew Cooper needed special...
I honestly cannot say enough good things about K9 Walker Training, Chad, and Kelly. Before Tuna went to board and train, he was a handful. He jumped on me constantly, didn't listen, pulled me wherever he wanted to go, and was becoming aggressive with my...

Questions we get from owners
Will this training work for my small dog?
Regardless of size, dogs learn through the same core principles of focus and positive reinforcement.
Our training programs are designed to meet the unique needs of each dog, with progressions carefully adapted to ensure success—even for the smallest breeds.
Similar to learning a new language, consistency and immersion are key. With dedicated training over several weeks, you will build a stronger, more enjoyable relationship with your dog, supported by lasting results.
Can an old dog learn new "tricks" or behaviors?
Age is never a barrier to learning for dogs—we recommend training at any stage of life. Whether you have a young puppy or a more mature companion, starting training as early as possible is always beneficial.
Without proper guidance, dogs can develop unwanted habits that affect both them and their owners. Early training lays the foundation for long-term success, making it easier to instill positive behaviors from the start rather than correcting challenges later.
Is our boarding facility monitored 24/7?
Yes! Your dog will constantly be monitored during their stay with us.
Is my dog always required to wear his/her training collar?
During the first few months after training, it is important for your dog to wear the training collar while supervised. This ensures you have the tools necessary to reinforce good behavior and address any unwanted habits consistently.
For your dog’s comfort and safety, the collar should not be worn for more than 12–15 hours per day and may be removed during sleep or while crated.
If you have specific questions regarding collar use or best practices for your dog, we encourage you to consult directly with your trainer.
