About this program

What they say about themselves

Confident K9 Training is led by Trina Carr, who describes her path into dog training as personal: she adopted a reactive, aggressive black lab named Gordo and worked with him until he passed the Canine Good Citizen evaluation and became a certified therapy dog. According to her site, that experience with a difficult dog shaped her approach and led her to formal study through seminars and mentorship with other trainers. She holds membership in the International Association of Canine Professionals.

The business operates out of Carr's home in Bella Vista, where dogs in the board and train programs stay in a residential setting rather than a commercial kennel. Their site suggests this home-based approach helps behaviors transfer more easily when dogs return to their owners. Programs typically run two to three weeks and are followed by lessons designed to teach owners how to maintain results. They advertise what they call a lifetime guarantee on continued support and refresher sessions, though the specific terms aren't detailed.

Carr emphasizes that her work focuses as much on coaching owners as on training dogs. She frames the goal as building what she calls "leadership skills" in the humans, so training sticks beyond the program itself. She also participated in volunteer therapy visits through Furry Friends Pet Assisted Therapy Services, bringing Gordo to convalescent homes and a college stress-relief program.
