At Ivy League Canine Academy, we offer a variety of packages to provide you and your dog with quality training. We serve dogs and their owners with comprehensive educational experience—we’re the experts in balanced dog training and dog behavior modifications in San Antonio, Von Ormy, Bulverde, and Schertz, TX. Explore our packages to get an idea on how we can help you and your dog achieve your goals together. We also offer financing through Lending USA to ensure every customer can get the service that best suits them.
Our team is comprised of dog training experts that will help your dog achieve a level of performance you never thought possible. However, none of those results matter if we can’t find a way to transfer the skills our trainers use back to every member of your family. Since 2021, we have developed and continually refined our owner education and curriculum that comes with every single training program we offer. While your dog is in our renowned board and train program your family will receive daily training through our virtual curriculum. This curriculum consists of 15-30 minutes of daily video sent directly to your devices where you can learn the behavioral concepts for that day and see unedited training video of your dog’s daily training so your family feels like they were present at the training. The daily videos compliment our weekly IN PERSON training where our experts will spend 1-2 hours per week with your family ensuring you get all the development needed to become your dog’s leader. As if that wasn’t enough, the final of our training program consists of an AT HOME DROP OFF where we will bring your dog back to you (local residents of San Antonio) and conduct a 1-2 hour lesson in your home environment. Our owner training curriculum is unrivaled and sets the entire family up for long term success!
Our board and train programs are the primary solution for your dog’s obedience training and behavioral issues at Ivy League Canine Academy. ILK9 Academy offers several different packages to ensure we can find the right fit for your family based on your dog’s age, issues, and your goals. We do not offer cookie cutter programs that are seen throughout the industry. Every package we offer has been designed and refined to ensure the highest quality training for your dog and the highest quality education for the owner.
During your dog’s stay they are with their trainer 24 hours a day for the duration of their board and train. Your dog sleeps, eats, and trains in a household environment with the trainer’s family. There is no kennel facility where your dog is left alone with a kennel technician. We train to replicate real life situations and scenarios. After your dog graduates, we will bring the dog HOME TO YOU to facilitate a successful reunion with your family. This is a unique service that ILK9 Academy offers to avoid your dog attempting to revert back to previous, undesired behavior once they return home. We will help you with the reintroduction of your new dog into their old environment. You will feel like the dog trainer after our 1 on 1 lessons teach you all of the communication and training concepts your family will need for a successful life with your dog.
Our training packages are all inclusive, for the best value in San Antonio and central Texas. ILK9 Academy trainers use proven conditioning techniques with you and your dog, and provide the absolute highest quality canine equipment for you to continue training after your dog returns home. Each dog and owner that enrolls in an ILK9 Academy Board and Train program will receive an Ecollar Technologies Ecollar system, a Hermsprenger training collar, two biothane training leashes, and an ILK9 Academy training bed. Your trainer will teach you how to use this new equipment to give your communication and training unlimited potential.

Your young puppy will conduct a three-week board and train between the age of 3-6 months. At the completion of the first three weeks and three 1 on 1 training sessions, your dog will return home to you. We will train you how to continue improving with your dog until they return for their fourth and final week of off leash and environmental training sometime after they turn 10 months old.
