Loudoun K9 offers unique and customized in-home and board and train solutions for your dog in Loudoun County, Virginia. Our services include everything from basic obedience to extreme behavior such as aggression, fear, and anxiety.
I've been enamored with dogs since I was a young boy. The pictures on this page show many of the dogs I've rescued or raised since the age of 7. There is nothing more rewarding to me than taking a dog that has either been surrendered or abandoned, training it, and finding a forever home! I currently live in western Loudoun County, and have 2 children ages 10 and 9. People often ask how I got start

After doing Board & Train a few months ago, Doc is back for a quick refresher before service training in a few months.
He has come such a long way and we're so happy to be able to do some follow-up sessions with him to ensure success!
Say hello to Piper, a 10-month-old Golden Retriever! ☀️
Piper is very energetic, as most pups are, and struggles with common puppies behaviors, including:
🎾 Invading personal space
🎾 Climbing
🎾 Leash biting and pulling
🎾 Over-excitement around dogs and people
Plus, being able to open doors and play ball without worrying about Piper running off is very important to her owners, so we're working on developing a strong recall.
She's making great progress already! Stay tuned for updates.
Past experiences can play a big part in your dog's behavior — and Lloyd the Bull Terrier is no different.
Lloyd lives on a small, 10-acre farm where he's had a few (literal) run-ins with cows and horses.
This experience has left him with a bit of anxiety. He can get obsessed with things (wanting to play with a certain toy or trying to go outside), which leads to constant whining.
We're working with Lloyd to manage this behavior, as well as develop good recall, leash manners, and toy release.
We're so proud of his progress so far and can't wait to see him continue to learn and grow! 🌟
Maybe it’s just me… but I feel like our first staff meeting in our new office went EXTREMELY well?! 🤣 #niceboss #bestteamever #TheOGs #loudounk9dogtraining #kidnesswins

Not sure what we would do without Casey's Automotive to keep all our vehicles on road. Every vehicle has been in there shop in the last week with needed regular maintenance or other issues. We love their business model and HIGHLY recommend them!

Today is a day to honor and remember those who have lost their lives for our freedom. 🇺🇸
Thank you for your sacrifice.

Finally got all full time Loudoun K9 Dog Training employees an iPad and iPhone. Moved all of our lines from a personal account to a business account. I was not expecting this to be a multi day task full of headaches. Best Buy sold me an iPad that had been black listed ⬛️ 2 months before I actually bought and activated it. I don’t even understand how that is possible! I hope they will do the right thing and refund me the over $1K spent on a single device. Thank you AT&T 🤳for taking your customer service up a notch. They helped sort out the problem. One of the managers 👨🏻🔧 from Leesburg personally visited our new office to deliver new SIM cards and set up 6 iPads for us. I was super impressed. I will continue to do business with them. I “think” we might finally be on the other side of this ridiculous escapade. Love that we are growing so much but that process is always full of headaches🤕

Happy Friday from Deidra and Alice, as well as the entire Loudoun K9 team! ☀️
We hope you enjoy the long weekend ahead and get to spend some time outside with your family, friends and, of course, your pup!
At Loudoun K9, we believe in putting each pup in real-life situations (complete with distractions and potential stressors) to help solidify their training.
We recently took Scooter on a little field trip to Lowe's and he passed with flying colors!
We're currently renovating a space on our kennel property to accommodate our growth!
This is the space where it all began. Daniel launched Loudoun K9 from this tiny 2-bedroom apartment in 2014.
We are now renovating it to help our employees have a comfortable place to take breaks, eat meals, update clients, and do indoor training in a home-like environment.
Through this space, we'll be able to recreate more of the home scenarios many of our clients struggle with.
We can't wait to show you the transformation and serve you at the next level! Stay tuned.
Dolce and Lenox are starting the week off with VERY good hair days! 😆
These poodles came from separate households, but recently moved together to a 10-acre farm.
To prepare for their new environment, we're working with them on impulse control, leash manners/reactivity, no jumping, and recall — all things that will help them lead a carefree and fun life on the farm!
We’re bringing back our Hound Hike — and we want you to join us! 😊
🦮 Loudoun K9 Hound Hike 🦮
Saturday, May 7th from 9–11am
W&OD Trail in Purcellville
👉 What is a Hound Hike?
Hound Hikes are people and their dogs coming together to walk side by side as a greater unit.
This helps dogs with environmental neutrality, socialization, obedience, and it grows confidence and bonding for both dogs and owners.
👉 Who is the Hound Hike for?
This activity is for clients who are currently active with us or have completed our In-Home Training or Board & Train program.
👉 What should I bring?
Normal length leash (no retractable leashes), your dog’s training collar, E-collar, dog food or treats, and water for you and your dog.
We're so excited to provide this opportunity for our clients to come together, continue practicing their skills, and get to know other Loudoun K9 families and their dogs!
It sounds so simple, but one of our biggest goals for our clients is for them to be able to just "do life" with their dog.
You know, the little things like taking a walk around the neighborhood, enjoying the company of other people, and the occasional field trip. 😊
Lacie’s owner loves to go to the farmers market and to ensure she's able to that, Daniel and his wife Alison accompanied her. (Plus, they brought their Malinois, Athena, along for the trip!)
Lacie did fantastic and so did her owner. Sometimes just a little extra confidence boost can go a LONG way!
At Loudoun K9, we understand that having a reactive dog can be extremely stressful and embarrassing.
And, to be honest, it's not always an easy issue to cure.
That's why we're here to help you through it with expert training and zero judgement for the life of your dog.
We make it a point to stay in touch with our clients, so that we can help you both now and in the future.
All we ask is that you are open to all possible solutions and a healthy dose of hard work on your end. (It's true that sometimes training requires more from the owner than the dog. 😉)
No matter what you need, we're here for you. So, if you're struggling, please reach out at any time.

Loudoun K9 offers unique and customized in-home and board and train solutions for your dog in Loudoun County, Virginia.
Loudoun K9's training philosophy was born from the belief that there is no "one size fits all" approach to learning in terms of human or K9. This core belief is what sets Loudoun K9 apart in both efforts and results.
We build on trust. Through a combination of positive reinforcement and humane correction we start outlining boundaries for your dog. Within days we can see dogs start to willingly focus on their owners instead of distractions, happily obey, and start dropping the bad habits.
We add difficulty. Getting your dog to listen can happen quickly. But getting it to stick in all situations is more difficult. In this phase we start showing your dog that the new manners they are learning apply everywhere.
We create systems for maintenance. We provide a system that takes just minutes a day to maintain your dog’s training for life.
Our Services include: Obedience Training, Loose Leash Walking, Off Leash Training, Door Bolting, Behavior Modification, Fear and Aggression, Potty Training, Crate Training, Submissive Urination and Jumping.
Please send us a PM or email us at [email protected] to schedule your free assessment!
Murphy’s first day back from dog university at Loudoun K9. He looks like he completed his bachelors degree
Love the intense look on Athena's face as she chases her favorite toy! Loudoun K9 Dog Training
How beautiful is the aptly named Athena, an 11-month-old Belgian Malinois pup?! Her dad is a good friend of mine, talented dog trainer and owner of Loudoun K9 Dog Training.
It looks like Athena is making a wish for her dad's birthday! Something for him or something for her...?? Please join the two of us in wishing her dad and my good friend Daniel (and excellent dog trainer, owner of Loudoun K9 Dog Training) a very happy birthday!
Athena's parents, my friends Daniel (owner of Loudoun K9 Dog Training) and Alison, are getting married today. I'm hoping she's the flower girl but not counting on it. Looking forward to seeing them get married and being a part of their day!
It's Bring Your Dog to Work Day, but our two pups are in the board and train program at Loudoun K9 Dog Training this week. Thank you, Daniel! So, show us YOUR pups at work today!
