Services Offered

Rhodes K9 Academy offers the following services:

  • Free Evaluation — a one-hour diagnostic session conducted via phone call or on-site visit to assess your dog’s behavior and training needs. This evaluation is provided at no cost and carries no obligation to purchase.
  • Private Training Sessions — one-on-one sessions with Nicholas Rhodes conducted at a mutually agreed location.

  • Board and Train — a program in which your dog stays with or trains intensively with Nicholas Rhodes for an agreed period.

Specific terms, schedules, and pricing for paid services will be discussed and agreed upon prior to the start of any program.

The Free Evaluation

The free evaluation is a diagnostic tool only. It is designed to assess your dog’s current behavior and help determine the most appropriate training path forward. Submitting a form to request a free evaluation does not guarantee an appointment and is subject to availability.

Rhodes K9 Academy reserves the right to decline service to any client or dog at its discretion.
