K9 University

Train with expert dog psychologists today!

Our Method

K9 University is a Thousand Oaks-based dog training service that is dedicated to empowering dog-owners to lead their pack. Our trainers are experts in dog psychology and employ techniques that enable owners to build a foundation for trust, confidence, and leadership. However, creating harmony in a pack takes time and effort.

K9 University values its ability to train dogs as highly as its capacity for empathizing with owners and supporting them through the process.

Offering personalized in-home lessons, weekly group classes, and a platform of educational content, we look forward to building our community of resilient dog-owners.

Group Class

Looking to socialize your dog the right way?

Socialization plays a crucial role in having a happy and healthy dog, but places like dog parks and day care have little to no structure and are often off-limits for dogs with behavioral issues, so how can you safely socialize your dog?

Every Saturday, we offer a controlled and educational environment for high-level dog training. Choose from our three alternating group classes based on your dog’s needs!
