Weekend Warrior

$500.00

Is it time for a tune up in the manners department? This is a great option instead of boarding your dog at the vet or with a sitter, you can board them for a weekend crash course with a trainer at Good K9 Institute! We will layer 1-on-1 training into the daily routine of boarding for a full experience that will work your dog's brain and body while you are away. Your dog must be kennel trained to participate in a sleepover crash course or boarding program. This means your dog is quiet and calm in the crate. Please reach out for a session prior if you need help getting kennel training started.

What We Cover:

Greater focus on problem behaviors
Pushing through feeling “stuck” in your training
Tailored strategies for faster results

Thursday night drop-off - Sunday evening pick-up.

About Good K9

Hey there, I am Amanda. Nice to meet you!

I’d describe myself as someone with a heart full of kindness and a toolkit full of grit. With a background in nursing and a gift for reading both people and pups, I bring a uniquely empathetic, no-nonsense approach to every training session.
I’m known for being:

Innovative when the standard just won’t cut it (picture MacGyver energy)
Loyal like a Lab with a job (IYKYK!)
And refreshingly real (think honesty with a wink and a side of donut)

Whether I’m helping a sweet but sassy pup find focus or supporting a family through the growing pains of dog ownership, my goal is to create a space where everyone feels safe, supported, and seen.

Before launching my canine career, I spent years as a registered nurse in high-pressure environments. That experience taught me how to stay calm in chaos, communicate under stress, and show up with compassion — skills I now apply to four-legged learners and their families.

I don’t just train obedience— I build trust. My work is rooted in the belief that kindness isn’t weakness, boundaries aren’t cruel, and progress matters more than perfection. From leash manners to lifestyle transformations, I guide dogs and their humans with my personal blend of science, soul, and steady encouragement.

I deeply understands the realities of everyday life — babies on nap schedules, unexpected guests, work-from-home chaos, and the desire for a little peace and quiet. Through clear communication and solid foundational training, I will help your dog learn respectful boundaries so you can relax, knowing they won’t disrupt the calm. Once those foundations are in place, adding new boundaries becomes simple and stress-free — creating a home environment where your dog adapts to your rhythm, not the other way around.
