Private Dog Trainers Minneapolis, MN

Whether it’s breeding German Shepherds or training dogs, we are passionate about providing professional dog training services, and going the extra mile for you and your dog’s success.

When it comes to training, we’ve developed a learning method based initially on positive reinforcement (food, toys and praise). We establish a language between the dog and owner that gives the dog a clear understanding of the positive consequences associated with certain behaviors. At the appropriate stage of training, we use negative reinforcers to teach the dog consequences of unwanted behavior. In the end, it’s about creating a mutual understanding between dog and owner that will last a lifetime.We have multiple programs that fit a variety of training needs – anything from pet obedience, sport, military, personal protection and law enforcement. We welcome any and all breeds to our training program.

Testimonials

I cannot recommend this place enough! We sent our Golden Mountain Doodle to a 3-week train and board, she came back home a whole new puppy. Both Emily and Kenneth are extremely knowledgeable about dogs and training. They are very passionate about what they do and truly care about your dog.

Our 6mo Belgian Malinois just completed a 4 week board & train. He was a rescue who needed basic obedience and reactivity work. We knew we needed training that would get it right the first time for this dog and Kenneth and Emilie definitely were the right pick. We already have our maintenance board & train booked and look forward to continuing the work with these guys. Scent work next? We will keep coming back!

I have been bringing my eight month old mini Australian Shepard to have weekly lesson done with Kenneth over the past 4 months and recently just had a 2 week boarding and training! Unleashed K9 has exceeded our expectations in how well knowledgeable the trainers are to how detailed oriented the their techniques are. We got updates and videos to see how paisley was doing with her training every other day, which was fun to see! There was a night and day difference in her ability to stay focused and how much she was excited to learn! Kenneth and is staff are always cared for paisley like if she was their dog!  I would highly recommend Unleashed K9 to anybody!

We took our 9 month old Golden Retriever to Unleashed K9 for obedience training, socialization and aggression issues. We had the absolute best experience! Kenneth was good about updating us on our pup while he was away and sent several videos to show his progress. We brought our Ranger home and can already see a big difference in his behavior and we are so jazzed. Kenneth has a way with dogs and truly cares about them. We felt like our Ranger was in good hands the whole time he was gone!
