HOW OUR BOARD AND TRAIN WORKS

Personalized Training in a Clean, Secure Home Environment

Your dog stays onsite and lives in Taylor’s home. This allows your dog to receive personalized attention and structured training throughout each day.

Individualized Training - The training plan and program length are based on your dog’s learning pace, temperament and the severity of any behavioral challenges.
Foundation Style Training - Commands are first taught through positive reinforcement in a controlled environment before accountability and advanced training tools are introduced.
Real-World Proofing - Your dog’s obedience is practiced around high-level distractions and generalized to the places and situations they are likely to encounter.
Training Transfers Back to You - Multiple in-home lessons and built-in return-home weekends give you the opportunity to practice and learn how to confidently handle your dog.

OUR TRAINING APPROACH

Foundation Style Training

Reality K9 practices Foundation Style Dog Training - a systematic method in which each concept builds upon the previous one to create a comprehensive training plan for the entire dog.

New commands are first taught through positive reinforcement
Rewards and praise help your dog understand the correct behavior
Corrections are introduced only after your dog understands the command
Advanced training tools are introduced during later phases
Obedience is ultimately proofed around real-world distractions

Meet Taylor

2+ Years of Hands-On Dog Training Experience

Reality K9 is led by Taylor Lenburg, a San Antonio dog trainer with a life long passion for helping misunderstood dogs. Before becoming a trainer, Taylor fostered dogs, volunteered in shelters, and helped rescue and trap strays.

After becoming frustrated with training approaches that did not create reliable results or happy dogs, Taylor found Foundation Style Dog Training. Taylor completed a two-year apprenticeship and certification through K9-1 Specialized Dog Training before founding Reality K9 with her husband in San Antonio.

Reality K9's purpose is to improve the human-dog relationship through training rooted in reality. Every dog is approached with patience, empathy, fairness, and respect.
