Training sessions are held at the Pasadena Pet Motel, which holds an active kennel license issued by Pinellas County Animal Control. This license ensures that all proper procedures and protocols are strictly followed in accordance with animal control guidelines.
-
We limit our students to a minimal number at all times. This allows us to provide each dog with the individual attention and focus that they need. With fewer dogs in training, we can maintain the highest level of quality and ensure that each dog's progress is closely monitored and supported.

day train PROGRAMS
With our day train programs, you can drop off your dog Monday through Friday for a day of intensive obedience training and doggy daycare. We offer a variety of programs tailored to your dogs needs. All programs include necessary equipment, a one-on-one lesson, documentation on how to reinforce behaviors, and an obedience video of your dog. All programs can become a board and train program for an additional boarding fee.
enrichment OPPORTUNITIES
While kids are boarding or in doggy daycare with our sister company, the Pasadena Pet Motel, we offer options for some extra enrichment and mental stimulation. Our favorite enrichment opportunity is nose work games, which work on a dog's instinctual independent hunting and problem solving skills. This is great for mental stimulation, social enrichment and confidence building.
Protection Sport training
Our trainers are experts in PSA (Protection Sports Association) and can assist newcomers and those looking to advance in the sport. You can trust our experienced trainers to guide and support you on your PSA journey. Training takes place at our Dade City location.
Our trainers have extensive experience in training personal protection dogs. We can provide information on where to purchase a trained dog or offer one-on-one lessons at our Dade City location using your own dog. Lessons are priced at $100, and the duration will depend on your specific training goals for your dog.
refresher training
We offer a "refresher" program to help maintain your dog's training and behaviors. This program is designed to keep your dog's behaviors in top shape and provide mental stimulation. Just like practicing a sport, training requires consistent practice to maintain skills. Our refresher program ensures that behaviors are efficiently maintained.
​
Here's how it works:
-
If your dog plans to do doggy daycare at the Pasadena Pet Motel, you can pay an additional $50 to STK9 for refresher training.
-
We provide training sessions throughout the day to effectively reinforce desired behaviors.
-
For an additional $100, we offer refresher lessons with clients at our facility.
-
We also provide the option of in-home lessons for an extra fee.
Contact us via email at stk9trainingcompany@gmail.com to schedule refresher training.
Board and train options
Any of our day train programs can be turned into a board and train program. You would pay an additional boarding fee. Please email us at stk9trainingcompany@gmail.com for a quote on boarding. If you are not local during the time of training, we require a local emergency contact.
