Dog Training Built for Real Life
Most families don't just want a dog who can sit in the kitchen. They want a dog who listens on walks, settles around guests, comes when called, and is easier to live with every day.
That's what we train for. At Complete K-9, your dog learns practical skills that hold up in the real world, not just in a quiet training room. Whether your goal is better manners, more structure, or off-leash reliability, we build a plan that fits your dog and your lifestyle.
Why Families Choose Complete K-9
Choosing a trainer is a big decision. You're trusting someone with your dog, your goals, and your relationship with your pet. Here's what you get with us:
A Unique 6-Acre Training Campus
Our facility is set up like a summer camp, with multiple buildings, wide-open space, and even a mock home where dogs practice real household manners. Your dog trains around real distractions in a safe, controlled setting.
Day Training That Fits Your Life
Drop your dog off in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon. Our trainers do the heavy lifting during the day, and your dog comes home with you every night. That means no weeks apart like board-and-train, and no rearranging your schedule for in-home sessions.
People-First Training Approach
Real results don't happen when the trainer is the only one who knows what to do. You'll get videos of your dog's training sessions during the day, so you never have to wonder what they worked on, and you'll get a hands-on lesson at pickup so you can practice it yourself. We coach you through every step, so you know how to communicate, guide, and follow through long after training ends.
Support That Doesn't End at Graduation
Every program includes Social Club group classes, our CK9 app, your training tools, and lifetime phone support. You'll never be left wondering what to do next.
Our Training Programs
Foundations: 5 Weeks

We'll recommend the right program at your free evaluation. Some dogs need a specialized program, and we'll tell you if yours does.
How it Works
Step 1: Tell Us About Your Dog
Fill out a short form, then pick a time for a free phone consultation. We'll listen to your goals, answer your questions, and schedule your free in-person evaluation.
Step 2: Meet Your Trainer
At your evaluation, a trainer meets you and your dog in person, learns about your home and routine, and recommends the training path that makes the most sense.
Step 3: We Teach You to Lead
Throughout the program, we coach you on how to handle your dog at home, on walks, and in public, so the training works for you, not just for us.
Step 5: Support for the Long Haul
Social Club gives you ongoing chances to practice with other dogs and owners, with our trainers there to help. If questions come up down the road, you'll have lifetime phone support.

The Dog You Want Is Closer Than You Think
Every week without structure is another week of habits getting stronger: pulling, ignoring, jumping, and tuning you out. The sooner you start, the faster your dog learns, and the sooner life with your dog gets easier.
Your first step is a free phone call. There's no pressure and no commitment, just a clear plan for your dog.

All training takes place at our Simpsonville facility. But that doesn't mean we skip the "home" part. Our campus includes a mock home training center, which is an actual house where we work on everyday household behaviors like greeting guests at the door, settling on the couch, staying calm in the kitchen, and behaving around furniture. Your dog practices in a real home setting, and then we coach you on carrying those skills into your own house.

Boarding and daycare are available only to dogs who have gone through our training. That keeps our campus calm, safe, and consistent for every dog.
