Tru Mission K9 is different because we take the dogs other trainers turn away. Many local trainers handle basic obedience and milder cases. Reactivity, aggression, bite history and powerful guardian breeds need structure, experience and a trainer who will not flinch. Our balanced, practical work builds results you can maintain at home.
You've tried the videos, the classes, the advice from friends. Nothing sticks. Most dogs don't need more commands — they need clear, calm leadership.
Guests barely make it through the door before paws hit their chest. You spend every visit apologizing and holding your dog back.
Every walk is a tug-of-war. You brace before the door opens — and you've started skipping walks altogether.
The front door opens and your dog is gone. Bringing in groceries shouldn't mean choosing between the bags and a chase down the street.
Dinner disappears the moment you turn your back. Nothing on the kitchen counter feels safe, and you're tired of guarding every plate.
Howling, pacing, accidents, destruction. Leaving means guilt; coming home means damage.
Lunging, growling, snapping. You cross the street, avoid visitors and quietly worry about what could happen next.
Every plan starts with a free phone consultation. Training happens at the farm in Loris, in your home and out in public. Training program pricing is by custom quote.
Immersive board and train programs that build lasting obedience.
Full-immersion training at our farm in Loris, typically 2–4+ weeks. We start with an honest evaluation and a straight conversation about your dog. Daily structured sessions build lasting obedience; the program ends with Don handing the training back to you so the results go home with your dog.
Structured day training that builds real skills while you work.
One on one training in your home where the problems actually happen.
Proven rehab for reactive and aggressive dogs that others turn away.
Start your puppy right with calm, confident foundations for life.
Specialized training built for powerful guardian breed dogs.
Targeted work on the habits that make everyday life harder.
Also available: foundation work for service dog training, including personal protection foundations. Discuss suitability with Don at your consultation.
Training should hold up in everyday life — not just in a training session. We build balanced, practical programs around your dog's real needs, with clear communication and owner coaching. Work happens in your home, out in public and at our farm in Loris.
Tell us about your dog, what you're dealing with and what you've tried.
No cost and no obligation. From there Don will recommend the right next step — an evaluation at the farm in Loris, which is also free, or an in-home evaluation at $150, credited toward your program when you enroll.
Board and train or day training at the farm, or private work at home and around your neighborhood — with practice in public where it matters.
