Your dog training questions, answered
How does Blue Line K-9 dog training work?
It starts with a free call where we get to know you and your dog. From there we build a plan that fits your goals and your daily life, then we coach you through it step by step. You can train in person at one of our locations or online from home, and we meet you and your dog exactly where you are. No judgment, just real results.
What do your dog training programs cost?
Pricing depends on the program you choose and your goals, so the best place to start is a free call. We will listen first, recommend the right fit, and give you clear numbers before you decide anything. Our online Puppy Jump Start starts at $97, and flexible payment plans are available for larger programs.
What ages and dogs do you train?
All of them. Puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs are all welcome, and it is never too late to start. We work with every breed, size, and personality, including shy, anxious, and high-energy dogs. We meet your dog where they are today and build from there.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Our online Puppy Jump Start comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Work through it, and if you are not happy within the first 30 days, we will refund you. We want you to feel confident saying yes.
Where is Blue Line K-9 located?
We have locations in JoCo (Garner, North Carolina), Katy, Texas, and Miami, Florida. Not near one of those? Our online training works anywhere, so you can join the family from home.
Should I choose online or in-person training?
Both work, and the right choice is the one that fits your life. In-person training is great if you are near one of our locations and want hands-on coaching. Online training lets you learn at your own pace from home and is perfect if you are outside our areas or have a busy schedule. Not sure? Ask us on a free call and we will help you pick.
Do you offer pet care?
Yes, in select areas. Drop-in visits are available at our JoCo, Katy, and Miami locations, and JoCo also offers overnight care. Visit our Pet Care page or ask us about availability near you.
What is your training method?
Fun, reward-based, and judgment-free. We make training enjoyable for both you and your dog because that is what makes it stick. No harsh corrections, no intimidation, just clear communication and lots of encouragement. Stronger obedience, happier life.
What is the difference between the Gold and Platinum programs?
Gold is six one-on-one lessons where you and your dog learn side by side. It is built for hands-on owners who want to do the training themselves. Platinum is seven drop-off day-training sessions: your dog learns with our team by day and comes home to you every night, so it fits busy families. Both come with lifetime family support. See Gold and Platinum.
What is Camp Blue Line K-9?
Camp Blue Line K-9 is our immersive stay. Your dog trains with our team day in and day out, then we finish with a hands-on exit lesson so you can pick up right where we left off. It is the path for the biggest, fastest transformation. Learn about Camp.
Do you offer group puppy classes?
Yes. Our Puppy Classes are small, friendly group classes that build calm manners, happy socializing, and confidence. Tell us your puppy's age and your nearest location, and we will let you know the next start date. See Puppy Classes.
When should I start training my puppy?
As soon as you can. Those first weeks shape who your puppy becomes, so starting early turns nipping, potty trips, and the zoomies into easy wins. Join a Puppy Class near you, or start tonight from home with our online Puppy Jump Start course.
Can you help with a reactive, anxious, or nervous dog?
Yes. We work with shy, anxious, and reactive dogs all the time, and we never judge you or your dog for where you are starting. The best first step is a free call so we can hear what is going on and recommend the right program.
Do I need to be involved in my dog's training?
A little, and that is what makes it last. With Gold you learn side by side in every lesson. With Platinum and Camp our team does the heavy lifting, then shows you the simple steps to keep the good habits going at home.
Do you offer payment plans or financing?
Yes. We offer flexible, low and no-interest payment plans so you can start training now and pay over time. You can apply in minutes on our Financing page.
What are Pack Walks?
Pack Walks are friendly, trainer-led group walks. You and your dog practice in the real world with a trainer right there to help in the moment. They are for dogs who have completed Blue Line K-9 training, and every walk doubles as a training refresher. See Pack Walks.
What areas do you serve?
JoCo serves Garner, Clayton, Smithfield, and all of Johnston County, North Carolina. Katy serves Katy, Cypress, and the greater Houston area. Miami serves South Florida. Anywhere else, our online training works from home.
What support do I get after training ends?
Lifetime family support. Every Gold, Platinum, and Camp family can reach out with questions long after the last session. Welcome to the family.
Is there a low-cost way to get started?
Yes. Michael J Soler's book, Puppy Training Made Easy, is $14.99. Our online Puppy Jump Start course is $97 and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
