Led by Brad, a Certified Master Dog Trainer and Behaviorist, Carlisle K9 offers more than just obedience training. With 3 beautiful acres to run and explore, a pond for enrichment, and an indoor training facility for year-round learning, every dog experiences a complete training package in a safe, engaging environment.
At Carlisle K9, we don’t just train dogs—we strengthen the bond between dogs and their families, creating confidence, trust, and harmony in the home.
Professional Dog Training Services
At Carlisle K9, dogs aren’t stuck in kennels or training all day. Our fully fenced 3-acre property gives them the freedom to run, explore, and enjoy life safely. Between training sessions, they get regular “recess” time to unwind, play, and just be dogs. And when the summer heat hits, they love cooling off in our on-site pool—it’s always a favorite.
We also live on-site, so your dog is never far from our care and supervision. In addition, we use cameras throughout the property to help monitor activity and ensure a safe, secure environment at all times.

Posted on Teri BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carlisle K9 is so much more than a training program — they are family. It was always going to take someone very special for me to trust with my only child, her breed, and my heart. Italian Greyhounds are gentle, fragile, and deeply sensitive dogs, and it became clear early on that Deluca was craving structure, routine, and thoughtful guidance. On top of that, she had her own physical health considerations, so finding trainers who would go the extra mile to ensure her safety and well-being was non-negotiable. Carlisle K9 delivered on every level. From the beginning, they didn’t just train Deluca — they understood her. Just as importantly, they understood me: a sensitive, protective dog mom who wanted to do everything right and not let her baby girl down at home or at school. That level of partnership mattered more than I can put into words. Deluca absolutely loves Carlisle K9. She adores her teachers, thrives on the structure, and gets to socialize in a safe, intentional environment. It was incredibly comforting knowing that Brad has personal experience owning an Italian Greyhound — that breed knowledge shows in every detail of how they care for her. She received the perfect balance of love, attention, training, treats, and accountability — and yes, mom was held accountable too. When we pull up to Carlisle, Deluca is bursting with excitement to see her favorite people. There is nothing more reassuring than seeing your dog genuinely happy to arrive somewhere — especially for sleepovers. While the weeks without her were emotional and hard for me, the transformation from where she started to where she is now made every moment worth it. There is truly no one else I would trust to not only train Deluca, but to love her and care for her when it can’t be me. The Carlisles aren’t just trainers — they are extended family, and we are forever grateful.Posted on Patrick KorhonenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brad and Helen at Carlisle K9 are truly one of a kind. From the very first conversation, you can tell they genuinely care—not just about training dogs, but about educating and supporting the owners too. They’re incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and honest, and they take the time to explain the why behind everything they do. Our dog made huge progress, but what impressed us just as much was how confident and informed we felt by the end of the process. Their facility is clean, their standards are high, and their passion for what they do really shows. If you’re looking for trainers you can fully trust with your dog, Brad and Helen are it.Posted on Aden KauffmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brad and Helen are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely cared about us and our dogs! Their knowledge is out of this world! They will teach you so much! They’re worth every penny we paid!

Thank you Brad and and Thank you Mrs. Helen!Posted on Cooper AlvaradoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The communication and general customer service i received is remarkable. I could not be happier with the result, price, trust and overall experience I’ve had with Carlisle training.

A million thanks y’all!Posted on Clara OkayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got Keira, my 7 month old Belgian Malinois from Carlisle K9! I could not be happier! Kiera is confident, social, and very centered for a Belgian Malinois. Brad and his team clearly really know these dogs!!Posted on Yuris Cutiño vargasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brad and Helen are amazing! They trained both of our dogs and we couldn't be happier. My dogs used to run out of the front door and would not come back. Now we leave the front door open and they dont break place. They're fantastic!Posted on Aaron MedinaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dog is night and day a completely different dog!

Love Doing business with people like them, Beautiful personalities… Amazing communication.. And they treat you like family!! Truly recommend them.Posted on Theasha SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough amazing things about this dog boarding and training experience. From the very first interaction it was clear that this was more than just boarding it was care, structure, and love. My dog came home calmer, more confident, and noticeably better behaved. The training was consistent, thoughtful, and tailored specifically to my dog's needs, not one size fits all approach. I received updates, photos, and reassurance throughout the stay, which gave me complete piece of mind. What truly set them apart is the balance of discipline and compassion. My dog was treated like family while still learning boundaries, obedience, and good habits. It's rare to find someone who understands dogs at this level. If you are looking for someone you can fully trust with your dog not just to watch them, but to genuinely improve their behavior and well-being this is the place. I would recommend them a thousand times over!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
