Training Gives Your Dog More Opportunities, Not Less
From basic training in your home to advanced skill that can be used anywhere – we can make a training plan that suits your needs
From Frustration to Freedom
Training that solves problems and creates possibilities.
Does your dog pull so hard on the leash that walks feel impossible? Ignore you when you call? Bark or jump when guests arrive? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck.
At Blue County K9, we turn everyday struggles into everyday wins. Imagine a dog who walks politely through your neighborhood, settles calmly when company visits, and happily joins you on hikes, road trips, or even busy outings around town. That’s the freedom of living with a well-rounded dog.
Training That Fits Your Goals
From family manners to specialized skills, we’ve got you covered.

Meet Blue County K9
Helping dogs (and their humans) unlock what’s possible.
We know what it feels like to love your dog but struggle with their behavior. That’s why Blue County K9 is dedicated to creating versatile, capable dogs who can fit into everyday family life and rise to new challenges. With extensive experience in both companion and working dog training, we help dogs reach their potential—and help owners feel proud, confident, and in control.
More Than Obedience
Training that makes life together easier—and more fun.
Training isn’t just about “fixing” your dog—it’s about opening up opportunities. A trained dog isn’t limited; they’re free. Free to go on a hike, join you at a café, greet visitors politely, or focus on specialized work.
At Blue County K9, we use practical, proven methods that solve real problems like pulling, jumping, barking, and poor recall—while building the foundation for a lifetime of shared experiences.
Bluegrass Barkventures
Adventure Awaits
Off-leash freedom. Real-world enrichment. The happiest part of your dog’s week.
Bluegrass Barkventures gives dogs what every walk should—space to explore, stretch their legs, and just be dogs. It’s better than daycare, better than another lap around the block. This is adventure with purpose. We pick up your dog, take them on a safe, structured outing where they can run, sniff, and socialize, then drop them back off tired, happy, and satisfied.
Give your dog the joy of the trail and yourself the gift of a peaceful evening.
What Our Clients Are Saying
Real transformations, real relief.
Blue County K9 is truly the best. Super knowledgeable and patient with me. I never realized there was so much coordination involved in working with my dog. She has been very kind while I fumble with the leash and trip over my feet or my dog’s paws. She has taught me so much. My relationship with my dog has never been better. Thank you so much.
Living The Dream Homestead
Melissa’s services are highly recommended. As a first-time dog owner with a long-haired German Shepherd, Melissa was there from the very beginning when my dog Daisy was just a puppy helping me with all the puppy tricks and lessons. Later, I had Daisy boarded and trained with Melissa, and she returned as a well-behaved and knowledgeable dog. I highly recommend Blue County K9 to all my friends and family who have dogs.
