Having a dog brings so much joy and companionship to a home, however it is not without its difficulties. Does your dog display undesirable behaviors that you’d like to address, but just don’t know how? We, at Citadel K9, are here to help! We have trained thousands of dogs in our obedience training program in Carrollton, Texas to be well-behaved, loyal companions.
We want to make sure your dog is everything you need him/her to be: Obedient. Reliable. Responsive. Calm.
We also want to make sure your dog is everything you want him/her to be: Fun. Friendly. Devoted and faithful.
Our program is unlike any other dog training program available in the United States because its foundation is built on the police and military K9 experience of our trainers. Master trainer, Josh Kirby, is a police officer who has trained hundreds of police K9 teams. This high level training has been adapted to work effectively for any dog breed!
We believe that every dog is capable of being a great dog! We offer multiple options to help facilitate each dog’s individual needs. We offer two-, three- and four-week courses. During that time, your dog will live with one of our certified trainers in their home with their family. Some key areas we focus on are several different obedience commands as well as any specific concerns or behaviors you would like us to address. We will also train your pet in crate, house, and car manners.
Each program is customized to your dog’s individual needs. The board & train program sets you and your dog up for success. All of our training carries a LIFETIME GUARANTEE; we also provide phone and email support after your dog comes home to help you and your dog reacclimate.
Our trainers will never have more than 3 dogs in their home at any given time so you can be confident that your pet is receiving plenty of attention, love and training. You will receive regular updates and photos of your dog while they are away at training as well as a go-home lesson to teach you all the new skills your furry friend has learned.
“…Citadel K-9 exceeded all expectations! My 4 year old [puppy] was as stubborn as she could be, but now has manners, has a willingness to follow directions that she has NEVER had before!…”

Let us know the types of activities you would enjoy participating in with your dog. Carrollton offers many beautiful hiking trails where you and your dog can enjoy some exercise. Both Mcinnish Dog Park and Rosemeade Dog Park are great places to allow your pup to socialize and play. After your training with Citadel K9, we guarantee that your dog will be well behaved and safe in these environments. You can even participate in the annual Run for Rover 5K that Carrollton hosts every year to raise funds for the Carrollton Animal Services and Adoption Center. What a great way to celebrate all that your dog has accomplished in training!
We believe quick obedience is important when taking a dog around town. After training, you can confidently enjoy running errands with your dog or taking them to pet-friendly patio restaurants in Carrollton such as Cane Rosso and Quinlan’s Bar and Grill.
