Five-star rated on Google, and the dogs to back it up.
Board and train, day training, puppy programs and behavior work across Salisbury, Ocean City, Easton, Cambridge and the Eastern Shore. Run by Rachel Martin, who trains the way she wishes someone had trained her own fearful shepherd: clearly, fairly, and with you doing the handling by the end.
Rachel came up through PSA sport and an internship with Stateline Canine, and she trains every dog here herself. No rotating staff, no handing your dog to an intern.
Photos, videos and notes while your dog is with us, so you see the progress as it happens rather than wondering.
Downtown Salisbury, parks, pet stores and the boardwalk. Obedience that holds up where you actually walk your dog on the Shore.
Go-home lessons and follow-up support, because the dog that comes home has to work for your family.
Your dog lives and learns with our trainers for two to four weeks and comes home ready for real life.
Drop off in the morning, pick up after work. Structured training all day, no overnight stay.
Build the foundation before the bad habits form: socialization, manners and early obedience.
Reactivity, fear, resource guarding and aggression. The cases other trainers turn away.
Yes. K9aholics Maryland covers Salisbury, Cambridge, Easton, Ocean City and the towns between, with board and train, day training, puppy programs and behavior work. Most people find us searching dog trainers near me or dog training in MD.
Balanced dog training means rewards and clear, fair consequences rather than treats alone. It is why the obedience holds outdoors, around other dogs and once the food is gone, which is where purely positive programs usually fall apart.
Training happens here and out in public where the distractions are real, then every program ends with a go-home lesson so it works in your house, on your walks and with your family. In-home sessions can be arranged, ask on the call.
Yes. Recall is the first thing owners ask for and the last thing a treat-only program delivers. We build it on a long line, then proof it around real distractions before anyone talks about off leash.
We do. Reactivity, fear, resource guarding and bite history are a large part of the work here, not an exception, and we will tell you honestly on the call what is realistic for your dog.
Most dogs do a two or four week board and train. Obedience is daily repetition, not an hour a week, which is why board and train changes dogs so much faster than a weekly class.
No. Puppies through senior dogs train here, and adult dogs with years of practised habits are often the most satisfying cases. Older dogs settle faster than puppies do.
We are on the Eastern Shore and work with families in Salisbury, Fruitland, Delmar, Cambridge, Easton, Ocean City and the towns between. If you are searching for dog trainers near you in Wicomico or Worcester County, you are in our area.
Rachel, every day. She came up through PSA sport and an internship with Stateline Canine, and keeps numbers small on purpose so every dog gets real handling instead of kennel time.
A two-week board and train is $2,000 and a four-week board and train is $3,500. Boarding on its own is $65 a night. The free phone consultation sorts out which program your dog actually needs, and we will say so if it is the cheaper one.
