SCHOLARSHIP

Your Dog’s Best Life Is Within Reach:
Apply for Our Scholarship Program

At Good Woofer K9, we know how overwhelming and frustrating it can be when your dog’s behavior feels out of control, leaving you feeling stressed and unsure of where to turn. We also understand that high-quality, professional dog training can come with a hefty price tag, making it out of reach for many. That’s why we’re excited to continue the Good Woofer K9 Scholarship Program.​

 

In 2025, we awarded one family with a full scholarship to our board-and-train program. And, we are excited to do it all again this year. This program is designed to give both you and your dog the tools for success. Our programs go beyond basic commands. They focus on building trust, improving communication, and creating a lasting, positive bond between you and your dog. We’re here to remove the financial barrier, so you can focus on what truly matters: building a happier, more balanced life together.

 

This is the first step toward transforming your relationship with your dog!
