Private, in-home lessons at your place in Vernal, plus weekly group classes right here in town. 40 years of experience, run by someone who actually lives in the Basin.
Blazing Trails K9 Academy is based right here in the Uintah Basin — one of only two NADOI-certified trainers in the state of Utah, with 40 years of hands-on experience behind it. Private lessons come to you, in your home in Vernal, with your dog in the environment they actually live in.
Local doesn't mean smaller options — it means a trainer who knows your town, your parks, and what your dog is actually up against.
“I don't train out of a corporate playbook. I train the dog in front of me, in the town I live in.”
