Dog Training is Our Passion

We are active dog competitors who love training and spending time with our dogs. We actively train and compete in different dog sports and activities. We have helped many people create a stronger bond through obedience training and our reward-based system. Our dog trainers have obtained their dog training skills by apprenticing under our Head Trainer, David Broderick,

and attending the Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers. David works closely with our trainers to ensure quality of training and efficiency. David also makes sure that each dog gets the best training possible and achieves the highest level of obedience we demand. We are continuously keeping our education and skills up to date by attending seminars, training clubs, competitions, the Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers, and our daily training with our customers! We believe there is no better way to be the best than to continue with education and training through helping our customers with their dogs’ daily problems. David Broderick – Head Dog Trainer

Dog TrainingI have had dogs my entire life growing up. She was a beautiful German Shepherd. Sadly, after about 2 years she had gotten extremely aggressive to the point that she had attacked numerous dogs, killed many chickens and was a nightmare to take anywhere. I decided I wanted to train her and get rid of her aggression. I found a great dog trainer and started training with him. After a few sessions I saw great improvements and I was hooked! I continued working with my trainer and soon started training other dogs for him. I continued working with him until I was 17. During that time I showed dogs in AKC Obedience and Confirmation. I continued training my own personal dogs along with anyone else that asked. In 2009, I found Michael Ellis and started studying his system. It was the best training I had ever seen. I loved how happy the dogs were, how well they obeyed and how fast they learned. Shortly after I graduated from his school, the Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers. I am an active dog trainer and competitor in numerous dog sports. In 2015 I represented USA at the World Championships for Mondioring. I also actively compete in trials and competitions all around the country. In 2014, I took 4th place at the National Championship with a High in Obedience. I have achieved High-in-Trial, High-in-Obedience and High-in-Protection awards. I am a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals. I am a Board of Director member and decoy for the United States Mondioring Association. I am Evaluator for the AKC Good Canine Citizen. Our Dogs

Idole is our main demo dog here at Innovative K9 Academy. She is trained fully in our training system and can be handled by just about anyone. She loves food and toys and will train for either. She is our resident puppy socializer and is also great for adults that need socialization skills. Idole is the best all-around dog I have ever seen. She is great with new people, dogs, other animals and kids. She is obedient almost to a fault and always wants to do right. She is trained in a protection sport called Mondioring, which encompasses obedience, scent work, jumping and bite work. Click here to check her out in our videos!! Quick du Loups du Soleil
Quick is one of David’s upcoming competition dogs. He is still a young puppy but is showing great potential. He is a very social and stable young male with lots of confidence in everything. He is painfully food motivated and can’t ever get enough food. He is great with new people, kids, dogs and other animals. He will be trained in IPO. We can’t wait to see him start competing, as he is very flashy in his obedience and fun to watch.
