If you’re frustrated by daily challenges like your canine ignoring commands, pulling on the leash, or acting reactive in public, you're not alone. Many dog owners in Raleigh, NC seek help with these common behavior issues, and our board and train program is designed to solve them at the root.
Our immersive board and train experience is more than a quick obedience tune-up. Dogs live with an experienced trainer for several weeks and receive structured training, behavior modification, and real-world socialization that goes far beyond group lessons or private training.
From puppies in need of a strong start to adult dogs struggling with aggression or anxiety, RP K9 Academy helps transform your dog into a confident, well-behaved companion all under the direct supervision of North Carolina’s top-rated dog trainers.
Your dog boards with a certified trainer and lives in a structured environment where obedience is practiced around the clock. Unlike kennel-based programs, our dogs train where they live with exposure to everyday situations like public parks, stores, car rides, and home settings.
We teach and reinforce all the foundational skills your dog needs to thrive, including:
Sit, Down, Stay
Recall (Come when called)
Loose-leash walking
Place command
Out & Leave It
Off-leash reliability
Basic commands with distractions
In our K9 training, we use a behavior-first approach. Whether your dog suffers from separation anxiety, fearfulness, crate resistance, or reactivity, we tailor our dog training sessions to target and modify those behaviors through a mix of structure, socialization, and positive reinforcement.
We empower the dog owner to continue their success at home. Your package includes:
Sit, Down, Stay
Recall (Come when called)
Loose-leash walking
Place command
Out & Leave It
Off-leash reliability
Basic commands with distractions
Led by B’Angelo White, who holds a B.S. in Animal Sciences and Business, our academy is built on years of experience in dog behavior, obedience, and rehabilitation. We’ve saved hundreds of dogs from euthanasia and trained thousands more with lasting success.
From basic obedience training to complex behavior modification, we train dogs in real-world settings not sterile classrooms. Dogs learn to listen through distractions and respond off-leash in everyday situations.
You’re never on your own. Every program comes with lifetime support so that if challenges come up months or even years later, we’ll be there to help.
Clients include busy families, first-time dog owners, and professionals seeking advanced training. Many come from surrounding areas like Garner, Morrisville, Clayton, and beyond.
When you trust us with your pup, we treat them like family. Our trainers provide hands-on supervision, daily enrichment, and consistent leadership that fosters clarity, calmness, and confidence in your companion.
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions. Your dog’s personality, breed, age, and needs all factor into how we build your board and train experience. Whether your goals include basic obedience, leash manners, or stopping aggressive behavior, we tailor every step of the journey to ensure results.
And we don’t disappear after the training ends. With lifetime trainer support and real-world follow-ups, RP K9 Academy ensures you’re supported long after your dog goes home.
