🐾 Jerry stayed a few nights for training! 🐾

During his stay, we focused on neutrality around exciting distractions and building confidence. One of Jerry’s challenges is that chrome bowls make him uncomfortable, so we spent time helping him work through that fear at his own pace.

Day Training is a great option for busy families who want professional training support without committing to a full Board & Train program. Your dog spends the day learning with me and returns home at night, allowing them to stay in their normal routine while still making progress. Day Training can also be added to overnight boarding for dogs who are staying with me.

A brief lesson and training overview are included with Day Training, but for the best long-term results, I highly recommend pairing it with private lessons. Private lessons allow us to dive deeper into the “why” behind the training, troubleshoot challenges, and ensure you have the skills and confidence to continue the work at home 🐾

Obsidian 🧡

Obsidian’s owners wasted no time and signed up for training the first chance they got — and that early commitment makes such a difference.

Starting training early helps build clear communication, confidence, engagement, and good habits before unwanted behaviors have a chance to become routine. Puppies and young dogs are constantly learning from the world around them, whether we mean to teach them or not. Setting them up with structure, guidance, and positive experiences from the beginning creates a much smoother path for both the dog and owner.

Obsidian has already been working on building focus, learning how to engage around distractions, and developing the foundations that will help him succeed as he grows. Training isn’t just about obedience — it’s about creating a dog that can confidently navigate everyday life while strengthening the relationship between dog and owner.

Very proud of the progress they have made and I am excited to watch this team continue to grow together! 🧡

‼️We have moved and are now accepting new clients in Howard City and surrounding areas!!

Why choose Ubora K9?

At UK9, training is about more than obedience. It’s about building clarity, confidence, communication, and a better relationship between you and your dog. Every dog is different, which is why training should be adaptable, fair, and individualized!

We utilize a balanced, reward-based approach focused on motivation, engagement, emotional regulation, and clear communication. All proven by science! Dogs learn best when training is understandable, rewarding, and consistent — NOT through fear or intimidation! Our goal is to create reliable, confident dogs while giving owners the tools needed for long-term success.

Working with a trainer experienced in dog sports and advanced training benefits pet owners immensely. Sport training develops a deeper understanding of behavior, drive, timing, and communication — skills that translate directly into better manners, reliability, and real-world obedience for every dog 🐕

🐾 In-Home Lessons:

Training where behavior matters most — your everyday environment. In-home lessons help address household manners, reactivity, routines, and real-life challenges while teaching owners how to maintain results.

🐾 Day Training:

Do you like the idea of a Board & Train, but want your pet home every night? Day training is perfect for busy owners wanting faster progress! Your dog receives professional training during the day while you learn how to continue and maintain the work at home.

🐾 Board & Train Programs:

An immersive training experience that builds strong foundations, structure, and reliability. Ideal for obedience, behavior modification, confidence building, and off-leash goals. Every B&T comes with 2 lessons — the first is 2-3 hours long when you pick your pup up and another 1 hour lesson to schedule in your home or in public within a month of your furry friend returning home! We provide take-home worksheets, training tools, and lifetime support.

Ubora K9’s goal is not just a trained dog — it’s dogs and handlers that can confidently and successfully navigate the real world! 🧡
