Dog training built around Vernal, not a franchise script.

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.

Vernal & the Uintah Basin

You don't have to drive to Salt Lake for real experience.

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.”

— Lynne

Questions Vernal clients ask

The practical stuff

Do you actually come to my house in Vernal?

Yes — private lessons are in-home by default. Training your dog where they actually live and act out is usually more useful than a neutral training-center room.

Where exactly are group classes held?

Home base is Animal House Daycare in Vernal, but a lot of classes are field trips out around town instead. Winter months are usually Saturdays at noon; spring through early fall usually shifts to Wednesday evenings.

I'm just outside Vernal — do you still come out?

Usually, yes. Tell us where you're located on the consult call and we'll confirm.

Can I start with a group class instead of private lessons?

Every new student talks to Lynne first. Reactive or aggressive dogs typically need private lessons before joining a group class — we'll tell you honestly which path fits your dog.
