About Us

Carlisle K9 was built from experience, passion, and a mission—to help others avoid the same mistakes we made early on. As a family-owned and operated business, we bring heart and dedication into every training session.

At Carlisle K9, your dog’s development is overseen from start to finish by a Certified Master Dog Trainer and Behaviorist. This ensures every step of the process is approached with proven methods, expert insight, and the highest standards of care.

We believe in the four quadrants of dog training, which means we use a fair balance of rewards and corrections to guide your dog’s behavior. This approach creates clear communication, real understanding, and lasting results.

• Positive Reinforcement – Rewarding good behavior so your dog learns what to do.
  
  
• Negative Reinforcement – Removing pressure when your dog makes the right choice, teaching them how to succeed.
  
  
• Positive Punishment – Fair corrections to stop unwanted behaviors.
  
  
• Negative Punishment – Taking away something the dog wants (like attention or play) when they make a poor choice.
  
  

But what truly makes us different is the environment your dog learns in. We’re not a typical training facility—we live on-site, so your dog is part of a real home environment, not a kennel. Along with learning obedience, they practice home manners that translate directly to everyday life.

Your dog will enjoy 3 fully fenced acres to run and explore, a pond to splash in, and even a pool to swim in. Training becomes fun, natural, and enriching—helping your dog thrive both mentally and physically.

At Carlisle K9, we don’t just train dogs—we build confidence, trust, and harmony between dogs and their families. We give it our absolute best, every single day.
