The Ultimate Puppy Training Experience
"This isn’t just training—it’s a structured learning experience that sets your puppy up for a lifetime of success." -T.J V
The first few months of a puppy’s life are the most critical for learning and behavior development. Without proper training, many puppies develop bad habits, reactivity, fear, and obedience issues that can be difficult to fix later.

Client & K9 Stories
I cannot say enough great things about our experience with TJ and Zrodx K9 Dog Training. It has been absolutely life changing for our whole family. Our pup (Barkley) has the tools and confidence to be out in public and not be anxious and also crate trained at home. We are forever grateful for the love and patience TJ showed and often go back to videos. I highly recommend anyone of any breed work with him on having the best relationship with their dog.
