About this program
What they say about themselves
The Royal K9 Boarding, Daycare, and Training Center operates from a sizable Yorba Linda facility featuring an 8,000 square foot real grass training field, agility equipment, and separate indoor and outdoor play areas for their daycare program. Owner Gina Brunick leads the Level 2 Obedience class, which focuses on off-leash and distance commands.
According to their website, the business describes its approach as drawing from multiple training techniques rather than relying on a single method, selecting tools and strategies based on what suits each dog and owner. They emphasize creating personalized plans with a focus on fairness, clarity, and consistency.
Their class structure runs from puppy foundations through advanced obedience, with a two-part puppy series for dogs 3-7 months covering socialization and confidence building, then Level 1 obedience for dogs 8 months and older working on heel, sit, stay, and recall. They also offer a socialization and leash manners class that covers reading dog body language, plus private sessions and board-and-train programs. The facility hosts workshops with outside trainers including Jay Jack and Brian Agnew. Their daycare program, called Camp Royal, includes structured group play with rest periods, and boarding options range from standard kennels to suites.
