Welcome to Zen Canine Training, where we focus on developing confident, skilled dogs through personal protection training, canine sports, and obedience work. We believe in a balanced, holistic approach to canine training that enhances both the bond between handler and dog and the dog's overall well-being.
Our Sport Club Approach
Training Sessions & Membership
We train every Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM, offering structured and productive sessions for our members. Our monthly membership fee is $150, which includes access to all training sessions, instruction, and a supportive community of handlers.
Whether your dog is training for protection sports, agility, or just looking for improved manners at home, Zen Canine Training is dedicated to helping them reach their full potential.
Meet the Trainers
Amber has been working with dogs since she was a child but moved onto protection dogs in 2012, starting at K9 Solutions in Ohio before moving to Alabama in 2018 to train at Bite Ranch K9. Amber has since started her own business and collaborates with BRAGKK9ATL. She has gained significant experience in personal protection and competitive dog sports, and in 2022, Amber earned third place in The Throwdown with her dog Token, who also holds his PDC (Protection Dog Certification). Amber completed her Decoy Training in 2024 and will continue her education in 2025, bringing her passion for learning and growth to every dog she works with.
Michael joined the world of canine training in 2021 and has since developed a deep commitment to the craft. He completed Decoy Training in 2024 and is continuing his education in 2025, constantly refining his skills to provide the best possible experience for the dogs he works with.
Personalized Dog Training Programs
At Zen Canine Training, we take a unique approach to training that allows owners to be actively involved in their dog’s progress. We offer structured programs for both puppies and adult dogs, focusing on obedience, confidence building, and proper socialization.
Puppy Group Classes (8 Weeks – 5 Months Old)
Our group classes are designed to set a strong foundation for young puppies. We focus on:
✅ Socialization with other puppies and people
✅ Basic obedience (sit, stay, recall, and leash work)
✅ Confidence building in new environments
✅ Introduction to proper behavior in everyday situations
One-on-One Training for Dogs 6 Months & Older
For dogs over 6 months, we offer a hands-on training program that allows you to keep your dog at home while still receiving professional guidance.
📅 Schedule: Sessions are held Monday through Friday for 20 minutes each day over the course of six weeks.
💡 Why this method?
-
Your dog gets direct training from a professional without being boarded in a facility.
-
You actively participate in the training process, making it easier to reinforce skills at home.
-
Each session is one-on-one, allowing for personalized attention and immediate feedback.
