Unlock Your Dog's Full Potential.
Life with your dog shouldn't feel like a constant struggle. Whether you're dealing with frustrating behaviors or simply want a more obedient, reliable companion, professional training can make a difference.

-
Leash pulling and difficult walks

Jumping and overexcited greetings
-
Ignoring commands or not coming when called
-
Excessive energy and difficulty settling

Inconsistent obedience and poor manners

Reactivity toward people or other dogs

Puppy training and building a strong foundation
Our goal is simple: Give you the skills and confidence to communicate clearly with your dog and build reliable behaviors that carry over into everyday life.
WE TRAIN FOR REAL LIFE.
At Rise & Shine K9, training goes beyond teaching your dog to follow commands. We focus on building reliable behaviors, clear communication, and practical skills that make everyday life with your dog easier and more enjoyable.
Because good training isn't just about what your dog can do during a session. It's about what you can confidently do together in the real world.
Imagine being able to:
-
Enjoy your walks without constantly pulling on the leash.

Call your dog with confidence and know they'll respond.

-
Welcome guests without jumping, chaos, or unwanted excitement.
-
Take your dog places with better manners and greater control.
-
Handle everyday situations with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to guide your dog.
Our goal isn't just a better-trained dog. It's a more confident owner, a stronger relationship, and reliable behaviors that last beyond training.

WHY CHOOSE US?
BUILT ON EXPERIENCE. DRIVEN BY PURPOSE.
Over 10 years of experience. More than 1,000 dogs trained. One goal: Better lives for dogs and their owners.
We've spent more than a decade working with dogs of all breeds, backgrounds, and temperaments. From family companions and young puppies to working dogs and those with challenging behaviors, my experience goes far beyond basic obedience.
Training background includes:
-
Family dogs and puppies
-
Service and working dogs
-
Police and protection dogs
-
Shelter dogs and behavioral rehabilitation
-
Competitive obedience and protection sports
Colton Carroway, our trainer, has also competed in obedience trials and protection sports and have been featured in a UKC video series focused on obedience training. Experience only matters if it makes a difference for you and your dog.
We bring that knowledge into every training program, combining proven techniques with practical, real-world application to help owners overcome challenges, communicate more effectively, and build lasting results.
YOUR DOG. YOUR TRUST. OUR COMMITMENT.
Because they're more than just a dog, and what we do is more than just training.
At the end of the day, it's not just about teaching your dog to sit, stay, or heel.
It's about enjoying your walks again. Welcoming guests without the chaos. Having more freedom, less frustration, and the confidence to handle everyday situations. It's about building a better relationship with your dog and giving you the tools to maintain that progress long after training ends.
The real reward of training isn't just a better-behaved dog. It's the freedom, trust, and connection that allow you to truly enjoy the life you imagined sharing together.
