Why Ripon Dog Owners Trust K9 Courage

Real-World Training Not a Classroom Your dog doesn't act out in a quiet room. They act out at Carlson Bark Park, on walks through downtown Ripon, and when your neighbors come by. We train in real places with real distractions so the results hold up where it counts.

We Train Our Own Dogs the Same Way Daniel's German Shepherds Sage and Vader are trained with the same methods we use on your dog. If the method works on ours, it works on yours.

Your Dog Lives in Our Home No kennels. No cage rows. Your dog lives in our home during board & train. Real house, real routines. That's why the habits carry over when they get home.

Based in Manteca | Ripon's Neighbor on 99

K9 Courage is based in Manteca 10 minutes south of Ripon straight down Highway 99. If you've made the drive to Manteca for Costco or Big League Dreams, you've been to our neighborhood.
 

We work with Ripon dog owners from every part of town. Families near Mistlin Sports Park, the Acacia Park neighborhood, the homes along Jack Tone Road, and out by Caswell Memorial State Park on the Stanislaus River. Ripon is a small town about 16,000 people and in a community this tight, your dog's behavior is part of your reputation.
 

You want to take your dog to the Almond Blossom Festival without worrying. You want to walk Main Street and actually enjoy it. You want your neighbors to see your dog and say "that's a good dog" not cross the street.
 

That's what we train for. And the drive is shorter than a trip to Modesto.
