Pulling on Leash
Walks around Elk Grove Regional Park, Bartholomew-Collins Park, or neighborhood streets become stressful. Your dog lunges, pulls, and drags you everywhere.
Excessive Barking
Barking at neighbors, the door, other dogs on the street. Nothing you have tried has made it stop consistently.
Anxiety and Fear
Fearful around strangers, other dogs, or new environments. Struggles to settle at home or panics when left alone.
Aggression or Reactivity
Growling, snapping, or lunging at other dogs or people. Other trainers in the area have turned your dog away.
Ignoring Commands
Listens at home but completely ignores you around other dogs, people, or distractions in public.
Jumping on People
Jumps on guests, family members, anyone who walks through the door. Hard to manage and embarrassing.
Destructive Behavior
Chewing furniture, destroying things, never settling. Gets worse when left alone at home.
New Puppy Challenges
Biting, potty accidents, not listening. You want to start building good habits before bad ones take hold.

What Elk Grove Dog Owners Say About JPK9 Academy
"The 4 week board and train was well worth it. Milo is no longer jumping when we come home, he is more calm, more well-behaved, and waits for his commands. We can not wait for what the future has for us through our weekly group training class."
"Best decision we made was starting our puppy training journey with JPK9 Academy. Juan is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and calm. Results are practically immediate. His approach to teaching owners is super effective without making you feel incapable."
"Juan has helped me tremendously with my Golden Retriever from puppyhood to two years old. My dog is much calmer, more responsive, and so much better on a leash. Juan is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about both the dogs and their owners."
