JPK9 Academy serves Davis dog owners from its Elk Grove facility, about 30 minutes via I-80. Juan personally trains every dog, from puppy foundations to aggression cases other Davis trainers turn away. Every program starts with a free phone consultation.
Fights the leash on walks around the Greenbelt or downtown, especially near bikes and joggers.
Barks, lunges, or freezes up when another dog gets close on a walk or trail.
Listens fine indoors but ignores you the moment there's a squirrel, a person, or open gate.
Barks at guests, delivery drivers, or anyone new who comes into the house.
Left alone in an apartment or rental and takes it out on furniture, doors, or the yard.
Has snapped, bitten, or been asked to leave a class or daycare because of it.
Biting, potty accidents, and no idea where to start with a young dog.
A class, an app, or a local trainer, and the behavior is still there.
Not sure where to start? Here's how Davis dog owners usually sort into a program.
| Your Situation | Best Program | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| New puppy, no structure yet | Puppy Training | Covers potty training, crate training, biting, and basic obedience from 8 weeks. Sessions happen at your Davis home or the Elk Grove facility. |
| Pulls or reacts around bikes, joggers, or other dogs on the Greenbelt | Private Lessons or Behavior Modification | Juan works with your dog where the reaction actually happens, then addresses what's driving it, not just the behavior on the surface. |
| Busy schedule, want it handled quickly | Board and Train | Dog stays at the Elk Grove facility 3 to 5 weeks. Juan trains daily and sends video updates along the way. |
| Aggression, a bite history, or another trainer said no | Aggression Training | Every dog is evaluated individually before Juan recommends anything. He takes on cases most Davis trainers won't. |
JPK9 Academy is based in Elk Grove, about 30 minutes from Davis. Here's exactly what happens at your home and what requires the drive.
| Service | Where It Happens | Drive Needed? |
|---|---|---|
| Behavior evaluation | Your home | No |
| Private lessons | Your home | No |
| Puppy training | Your home | No |
| Board and train (pickup & drop-off) | Juan handles both ways | No |
| Weekly group classes | Elk Grove facility | Yes |
The only thing that requires a drive is weekly group classes. Everything else, including board and train pickup and drop-off, happens right at your Davis home.
Six programs, one trainer. Juan handles every dog himself, from board and train to a single private lesson.
Your dog stays at the Elk Grove facility for 3 to 5 weeks. Juan trains daily and sends video updates. Pickup and drop-off both happen at your Davis home.
See Board and Train Programs
Starts at 8 weeks. Covers potty training, crate training, biting, and basic obedience before bad habits set in.
See Puppy Training
Weekly classes at the Elk Grove facility. Built for dogs that behave at home but fall apart around distractions like other dogs, people, or noise.
See Group Classes
One-on-one sessions at your house, built around your dog's actual environment and your daily routine. Best for owners who want to be part of every step.
See Private Lessons
For dogs with a bite history, growling, or reactivity other trainers won't touch. Juan evaluates every case individually before recommending anything.
See Aggression Training
For dogs that already know commands but still react out of fear, stress, or overstimulation. Works on what's driving the behavior, not just the surface..
See Behavior ModificationSimple, honest process. No surprises, no pressure. Here is what happens when Davis dog owners reach out to JPK9 Academy.
Call (916) 571-0157 and talk through your dog's situation with Juan directly. No pressure, no obligation. He tells you honestly if JPK9 is the right fit for your Davis dog.
Juan drives to your Davis home for the evaluation, so he sees the behavior where it actually happens. Evaluations start at $100. He recommends the right program based on what he sees, not a standard package.
Whichever program fits, owner coaching is built in from day one, so the training holds after Juan leaves. Most Davis owners start with private lessons at home or the board and train program at Elk Grove.
Founder and Head Trainer, JPK9 Academy
Davis dog owners who call JPK9 get Juan, not a front desk or a rotating staff of trainers. He answers the phone himself, drives out for the evaluation, runs every session, and stays on the case from the first call to the last transition lesson.
That's rare in this industry. Most dog training businesses scale by hiring trainers and handing off clients. Juan hasn't. Every dog he takes on in Davis, whether it's private lessons at home or board and train at the Elk Grove facility about 30 minutes away, is his responsibility alone.
He's trained dogs around Elk Grove and Sacramento for more than 15 years, including plenty of cases other trainers turned down. JPK9 Academy is family run alongside his wife Sarah.
Two real JPK9 sessions. Watch first, then decide between private lessons at home or the trip to Elk Grove.
Three reviews, three different starting points: a first-time puppy owner, two puppies trained together, and a dog other trainers had given up on.
"Best decision we made was starting our puppy raising and training journey with JPK9 Academy. Juan is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, confident and calm. His approach to teaching adults is super effective and positive, and it never makes you feel incapable or helpless."
"We adopted Coco and Cookie, two 12-week old Cocker Spaniel puppies, and some experts said training two at once would be too hard. Juan came to our house and worked with us one pup at a time. By 8 months, Coco and Cookie follow commands and even heel on a walk."
"I am the proud owner of the 'untrainable' Australian Cattle Shepherd who had nipped at children, the gardener, and us. My boy, Dingo, is a completely different dog now, well behaved and preparing to be a certified service flyer. Juan and his wife Sarah made that difference."
Call (916) 571-0157 or leave your number below. Tell Juan what your dog does, when it started, and what you've already tried. The consultation is free, and he'll tell you straight whether JPK9 can help. If it can, the evaluation happens at your Davis home.
