Professional Dog Trainers in Burnsville, Minnesota
When it comes to training, Unleashed K9 has 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 programs.

Testimonials
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!
