We had a wild dog, now we have a perfectly obedient angel. Seriously talented dog trainer!

Far exceeded expectations. Joshua is a gifted trainer with a real knack for understanding and adjusting both my own and my dog's behavior. Will return.
King K9 was a great investment for my family. Our dog Joy is doing great with the skills we learned. This program has allowed us more freedom...

About Your Trainer
My name is Joshua Antell
I've been training dogs professionally for over 20 years. I've studied animal behavior and learning theory at Harvard University, trained under world-champion protection dog trainers, and been mentored by leaders in the International Association of Canine Professionals.
But what matters most is this: I train every dog myself. I've built a small operation on purpose — because better training happens with fewer dogs, more attention, and an environment that actually challenges them.
Where Your Dog Trains
Your dog doesn't train in a parking lot or a spare bedroom. They train on 15 acres of working farmland in Richmond, Maine — with sheep, chickens, ducks, open fields, wooded trails, and a soon to be completed confidence course. When they're ready, they go on field trips to towns and stores along the midcoast.
It's the real world. And that's the point.
Q: Do you offer private lessons?
A: Private lessons are included in our board & train programs! At this time, King K9 Academy focuses exclusively on board & train programs to ensure the highest quality results and individualized attention for each dog.
Ready to Talk?
Every engagement starts with a free, no-commitment phone consultation. We'll discuss your dog, your goals, and which program is the right fit.
