Dog Boarding & Training Minneapolis, MN
Our most popular and most effective service! Your dog stays with us on-site learning new skills or brushing up on past behaviors. Staying with us at Unleashed K9 allows your dog to receive the adequate repetition needed to instill good behaviors. Throughout your dog’s program, dogs in our board and train programs return to our head trainers house “Kenneth” to instill good household behaviors and receive training in a home environment that the dog will be going back to after their 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.
– Grace N.
Our golden retriever completed a 4 week board & train. Two days after completing training we’re able to take her out on a busy patio for dinner! She was calm, relaxed, & an angel! This is amazing! We’ve NEVER been able to bring her to any public environment w/o her being extremely anxious, nervous panting, & leash pulling. This is all thanks to the dedicated trainers who invested so much time & energy with her. Upon completing training, they gave us a 2hr go home training w/all the tools we need to be successful at home. She now has a calm & relaxed demeanor & impulse control.They go above & beyond to make your dog as successful as possible.

I brought my dog here to address some reactivity through a board and train. My dog is a tough case because she’s incredibly shy and untrusting of new people. Despite this, Emily was able to gain her trust and work with her on the reactivity. When I picked her up, Emily walked me through everything thoroughly and set me up with the knowledge to continue her training at home. I was truly amazed and grateful to be able to walk her past other dogs without any reaction. I’m grateful as well for the follow up sessions included with the program so that we can brush up on skills and work on things we have difficulty with in the future. I feel that myself and my dog are both set up for success after completing the board and train.

I picked up my one-year-old German Shepherd husky mix from his three week board and train program, and I can confidently say that Unleashed K9 is the perfect place to trust with your dog. I appreciated that Kenneth took the time to answer my many questions prior to enrolling my dog in his program. I ultimately decided to work with them based off of their stellar reviews, and their proven ethical philosophies for training. My pup left with an incredible level of obedience in all commands that he learned. As his owners, we left feeling confident in our ability to continue his training at home with the 2 hour go-home sessions that’s included in the package.
