About this program
What they say about themselves
Juan runs JPK9 Academy with his wife Sarah, handling cases that range from basic obedience to aggression and reactivity. According to their site, the business has over 15 years of hands-on experience and operates out of Elk Grove, California, also training in local parks and outdoor community settings.
The business describes its approach as individualized rather than standardized—building training plans around each dog's temperament and the owner's lifestyle. They say they use science-based methods aimed at addressing root causes of behavior problems, not just managing symptoms. Their tagline "from management to command" suggests a focus on building reliable responses rather than relying on treats or avoidance strategies.
JPK9 Academy offers board-and-train programs (described as a four-week intensive), private lessons, group obedience classes, and puppy training covering socialization and confidence-building. They position behavior modification work—particularly for leash reactivity, fear, anxiety, and aggression—as a specialty. Client reviews consistently mention Juan as the trainer working directly with owners throughout the process.
