What Makes Our In-Home Training Different
Our in-home Training is centered around creating calm, reliable where it matters most - in your home, neighborhood, and everyday surroundings
Training happens where behavior matters
Most dogs don’t struggle because they lack commands — they struggle because those commands don’t hold up in real life.
By training in your home and surrounding neighborhood, we’re able to address real distractions, real routines, and real behavior challenges — not simulated ones.
Structure that creates lasting results
Our in-home training provides clear structure for both dog and owner, ensuring communication stays consistent long after sessions end.
The result is calm, reliable obedience that transfers beyond training sessions and into everyday life.
Different dogs need different solutions
Compare our training programs to find the right fit for your dog’s needs, temperament, and goals
The proof is in our reviews
Real results from dog owners who started exactly where you are now

We finished bootcamp with David a little over a year ago and I can not express how much that experience made not only Peter’s life better but mine as well. Before training, Peter couldn’t go on walks, he had aggressive tendances towards most people and other dogs, and rarely got to go on outings with our other dogs. In the year following the training, Peter gets to go on walks everyday and regularly goes out for either just car rides or trips to the mountains to hike. If you are considering training your dog, this is the place. Don’t be fooled, it is a lot of hard work and a bit of a lifestyle change but it is beyond worth it to be able to provide your dog with the life they deserve.

I contacted Calm K9 training for help with my 9 month hound mix. I had seen 1 trainer beforehand but she wasn’t much help. I wanted to give it another shot with Calm K9 because of the reviews. My dog’s separation anxiety was getting worse and I wanted him to be safe and happy. Carl was great throughout the whole process. He was communicative, supportive, and encouraging. We did the basic training program and I saw a huge difference in my dog’s behavior and basic obedience right away. I am very thankful for Carl and for teaching ME how to train my dog. Highly recommend!

We just finished our last training session and as soon as we left, we said “that was money very well spent”. After 4 weeks of bootcamp training our dog no longer barks at us in the house and we have all the tools we need to continue to ensure he gets better and better about his leash reactivity. I thought there was no way he’d be this good after such a short amount of time but he is! It takes a good amount of work on your end (the pet parent) but we expected that up front and it allows you to be able to continue the training and obedience forever. I highly recommend working with David to ensure you have a calm k9. We did a lot of research before hiring him and are so glad we ultimately chose to work with David!
