Introduction

Contact us today! We have two trainers in Jacksonville and one in Titusville. We take on board and train client dogs from all over Florida and south GA. We offer pick up and drop off options as well! At Better Obedience K9 Training, we treat every dog like our own. During the board and train programs, each dog stays in the home with us, gets walks and adventures and those that can socialize with dogs, are able to run and play daily. We make sure every owner gets their fill of updates on their dogs during this time and we document the process with videos and photos. Our private training packages are also customized based off the individual dog’s needs. We can do in home session, or meet elsewhere, or the owner can travel to the train. Each lesson is 1 hour long and we start progressing toward your goals on lesson one. Contact us through email, phone, or our website contact form.

I finally understand what the dog trainers mean when they say “your dogs newly learned skills are perishable unless you practice”. You honestly have to keep up with training. That is really what it comes down to. Rayna easily changed our dog from unruly and rude, to a very compliant and obedient dog. Bella now walks on the leash, she doesn’t jump on people, we have off leash Training as well, so we can take her to new places and have full control. We also have much more ability to manage her in the house and prevent her from counter surfing when we aren’t watching her, prevent her from jumping on people when they come in the door, and keep her out of the way when people are eating/trying to watch TV/ Playing with the kids. I am very grateful that she explained just how important it is to continue doing mini training sessions and progressing instead of just getting our dog back and expecting her to maintain perfect obedience without any effort on our part. Our neighbors did a board and train with a different trainer, their dog came back very well behaved. Not even a few weeks after their dog was returned, he went right back to being out of control. It was obvious that they weren’t utilizing any of the training their dog had received. Such a waste of time and money for the trainer and the owners. We have been progressing with Bella not only at home, but everywhere we go with her. It’s been so enjoyable having her home and getting to go on adventures with her for the first time! I highly recommend Rayna for training, but even more so I highly recommend that you follow her directions when your dog is Done with their program. She knows what she’s doing.

I had my dog go through the board and train program and I’m really happy with the results. Rayna is always giving updates and she really wants the best for the dogs. She is very observant of their behaviors and any time she had a concern about a certain behavior, she let us know and told us what she was working on to fix it. I highly recommend her.

We cannot recommend Rayna enough. We are beyond impressed with her training skills and although she is a balanced trainer… she really does use a lot of positive reinforcement. We like to spoil our dogs but we know that they need structure and boundaries too, so with Raynas help, we achieved that.

I wouldn’t trust anyone else to help me work the crazy malinois that runs my life. He is a handful and trained in protection so knowing Rayna’s background, she was an easy choice for a trainer. Not only did she help me gain control but she also continued to assist me and become my friend over the months. We now attend sport dog training club together and she still talks me through issues and points me in the right direction.

My dog Ali was struggling with kenneling. She had so much anxiety and I didn’t know how to help her. Rayna solved that problem and sent my dog back to me even happier and more compliant than when she left.
