Our Story

      TRAINING:

Welcome to North Mountain K9 & Kennels, where we specialize in personalized one-on-one board and train programs tailored to meet your pet’s specific needs and your individual requirements. Our approach is centered on providing private lessons with you, the owner, ensuring a collaborative journey towards achieving your training goals. At North Mountain K9 & Kennels, we are committed to TRAINING BOTH ENDS OF THE LEASH®.

Determined to stay at the forefront of the field, we immersed ourselves in various courses, ultimately earning acceptance, certification, and accreditation from renowned institutions such as Foundation Dog® and The Balanced Dog training school, notably Top Tier K9. This dedication culminated in the establishment of North Mountain K9 & Kennels, LLC, nestled on our expansive 65-acre ranch in the heart of the Idaho mountains.

At North Mountain K9 & Kennels, LLC, we specialize in an array of training disciplines, including Working Dogs and Medical Service Dogs. Our commitment to advancing animal behavioral science is unwavering, and our training principles are rooted in Classical Conditioning, supplemented by elements of Operant Conditioning, through the acclaimed “The Foundation Dog®” method. This approach not only yields exceptional results but is also endorsed by veterinarians nationwide.

From pupping imprinting to adult impulse control, obedience, behavior modification, and complex commands, our comprehensive programs cater to dogs of all ages and temperaments. We firmly believe that no dog is untrainable, and at North Mountain K9 & Kennels, YOUR dog is our #1 priority.
