About K9 Conditioning

K9 Conditioning is a family-owned small business located in Auburn, California, founded in 2019. Their approach to dog training emphasizes the importance of obedience, exercise, and nutrition, which are the fundamental pillars of their training curriculum. Their location at the base of Sierra Nevada mountains in Auburn makes it an ideal place for dogs to enjoy the great outdoors while improving their physical and mental health.

Founders Stephen and Tracy have honed their training skills through mentorship from David Demarco, a three-time IPO World Championship qualifier. This experience allowed them to earn their obedience title under the USCA for their personal dog, Comanche.

K9 Conditioning is passionate about dog training, and they are actively involved in various aspects of the dog world. They have helped hundreds of owners address challenging behaviors while also enhancing their dogs’ diets, resulting in improved behavior and overall health. With a strong emphasis on general obedience and managing reactive behaviors, they have established themselves as Auburn’s top-rated dog training program. Often, dog owners turn to K9 Conditioning as a last resort after struggling to find effective training elsewhere that meets their dog’s specific needs.

Their love for dogs inspires everything they do, with a mission to help as many as possible. Each week, they volunteer at the Placer County Animal Shelter, using non-motorized dog treadmills to help high-energy dogs and those with challenging behaviors find calmness as they await their forever homes. Their devotion to canine well-being and effective training is unwavering.
