Certified Master Trainers, lifelong dog people — and your neighbors in Martinsburg, WV.
Independent K-9 was built by trainers, not marketers. For almost a decade, our certified Master Dog Trainers have shaped canine behavior across obedience, search and rescue, scent detection and service-dog work — including nearly 100 service dogs placed with handlers who count on them every day.
We believe dog training is never one-size-fits-all. Every dog and every family gets an open mind and an open toolbox: many philosophies, many tools, one goal — your dog’s success. That means we keep learning, too. Continuing education is part of the job description here, because dogs never stop teaching us.
And because this is home, we give back to the community that trusts us with its dogs — from local events to a 10% discount for military, police and first responders.
Erin has spent nearly a decade training dogs across obedience, search and rescue, scent detection and service work. If a dog has a problem, she has a plan — and probably a story to go with it.
Jess specializes in building confidence in shy and reactive dogs and turning rowdy family pets into well-mannered companions. Ask her about your dog — she will happily talk your ear off.
Current clients can schedule daycare, boarding and class spots any time — day or night — through our Gingr client portal.
The best way to know if we are the right fit is to talk to us. The consultation is free, and the coffee is usually fresh.
