How We Train at Parker's K9 Academy

At Parker’s K9 Academy, we use a balanced training approach to create a well-mannered, reliable, and confident dog—both at home and in public. One of our most effective tools is the E-Collar (electric collar), which provides low-level stimulation to enhance communication between you and your dog.

We know the term E-Collar might sound intimidating, but in reality, it’s a gentle, customizable tool that helps reinforce commands at very low levels. We train dogs to associate the stimulation with something positive, like performing a command and earning a reward. The result? A dog that listens off-leash, even in high-distraction environments.

What Your Dog Will LearnThrough our board and train program, your dog will master essential obedience and manners, including:

✔ Sit, Down, Stay, and Heel – Solid foundation commands for everyday control.

✔ Come (Off-Leash Reliability) – So your dog always returns when called.

✔ Place Command – Teaching your dog to settle calmly on a designated spot.

✔ Car Manners – Entering, exiting, and riding in the car without chaos.

✔ Door Manners – No rushing out the door or unwanted excitement.

✔ No Counter Surfing & No Jumping – Eliminating bad habits for a well-behaved dog.

✔ How to Stop Barking – Learning when it’s appropriate to bark and when to settle.

✔ A Calm & Confident Mindset – Building focus, impulse control, and trust.

✔ Command Proofing in High-Distraction Environments – Ensuring obedience anywhere, anytime—whether at home, the park, or in public spaces.
