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.
