About this program

What they say about themselves

Evelyne, the trainer behind Lucky K9s Dog Obedience, started working with dogs at age 12 and went full-time as a professional trainer in 2008. According to her site, she now has over 30 years of experience, with a particular focus on behavior problems and obedience work. She also fosters and rehabilitates rescue German Shepherd mothers and litters—a detail that speaks to the depth of her involvement with dogs beyond client work.

The operation runs from a 1.5-acre ranch property near Acton in the Santa Clarita Valley. Their board-and-train program limits enrollment to four dogs at a time, with training happening in a home environment rather than a traditional kennel setup. The facility includes temperature-controlled boarding areas, individual outdoor play yards, and supervised group socialization after temperament evaluations.

Lucky K9s describes their training philosophy as "balanced"—emphasizing structure, clear communication, and building trust rather than relying on treats or constant leash corrections. They offer everything from single-session puppy consultations covering crate training and bite inhibition to intensive four-week board-and-train programs and behavior modification for issues like resource guarding or leash reactivity. For owners interested in off-leash reliability, they also provide e-collar training geared toward hiking and outdoor activities.

What does Lucky K9s Dog Obedience charge for board and train?

In-home puppy training starts at $200 per session for a two-session program beginning at 8 weeks old. Lucky K9s Dog Obedience also offers a four-week board and train at $3,000, behavior modification sessions at $200 each for issues like aggression and reactivity, and off-leash e-collar training that requires prior work with them or an evaluation. Boarding runs $50–60 per day and requires up-to-date vaccinations.

Sessions for puppy manners and behavior modification are $200 each, with the four-week board and train at $3,000 plus required equipment costs. Boarding is $50–60 daily. Pricing for the advanced e-collar program isn't published on the site.
