I'm Blake Wyatt, founder of K9 Actual. I learned dog training as a military working dog handler in the US Army. Now I bring that same discipline to families across Dearborn County and Greater Cincinnati. My approach is simple: I teach you to lead your dog, so the results last long after our sessions end.

Every dog can learn. Every owner can lead.

Won't come when called

Nervous or reactive
We fix these by teaching YOU how to lead - so the results last.

03
Real-World Results
Practice at home, on walks and in public until calm, reliable behavior is just how your dog lives.
A Different Way to Train
Many trainers use rewards like treats or corrections like leash pops, and those methods have helped plenty of dogs. My approach takes a different path. I focus on clear communication and calm leadership, so your dog follows you because of the relationship you've built together. That's why we put so much into teaching you. When you lead well, your dog follows.
STOP COMMANDING. START TEACHING.
The Foundation:
MIT
How you move tells your dog where to go and what to do. Your body becomes the guide.
Movement
Every moment with your dog is communication. How you engage builds focus, trust, and respect.
Interaction
Purposeful touch shows your dog what you're asking and helps them relax and connect with you.
Touch
What my clients are saying
"Blake and his team are a top notch organization. Our puppy has learned so much from his time with Blake and Caleb and we're glad we picked them to teach us (and Ernie) how to understand each other better. This process takes some time and effort but we've been rewarded by a much more well behaved dog and the tools to keep working on his behavior for the long haul. Thanks Blake!"
Mike D.
"I highly recommend Blake to help train your loved pet. We own a very high energy dog we used to struggle with leash walking and taking out into public due to jumping. K9 actual training has help so much with not only teaching Dex but as well as teaching us along the way. We couldn't be more happier with K9 actual Training!"
Emily B.
"Before training, my Lab was nearly impossible to walk due to constant leash pulling. Now, I can walk her with ease and confidently take her out in public... What truly sets Blake apart is his commitment to the owners as well. He openly shares his training tips and techniques and emphasizes the importance of owners becoming 'trainers' themselves."
Meghan L.
"Blake is fantastic with training. Very patient and understanding. I have an Australian Shepherd and within a month, Blake had him behaving."
Sue S.
"Blake spent some time training our Golden Retriever, Ruby, and she took to him right away. His training methods are straightforward and really effective. He also makes sure to spend time with the owner so you feel confident in continuing the training on your own."
Morgan B.
"I was deployed with the founder of K9 actual training Co. I have never met a better dog handler than Blake. His temperament and love for training dogs is perfect for getting the results you want in your dog. Can't recommend him enough!"
JW P.
"K9 Actual Training Co. was able to give me the tools and knowledge I needed to help our girl learn to live in harmony with our cat... Blake Wyatt, owner of K9 Actual is a Veteran military dog handler. The man knows his stuff and he is a natural leader for both the human and canine variety. His passion and knowledge show in every interaction."
Katie V.
"Knew Blake while he was still in the military and can't think of anyone who I personally would rather take my dog to! Nothing but good things to say about the owner!"
