Expert Dog Training in New Hampshire

At Central New England K9 Academy, we help dogs and their owners build the bond, communication, and confidence they need to live their happiest lives together, no matter the breed, size, or background.

Built on 30 Years of Trust.

At Central New England K9 Academy, we proudly serve Grafton, New Hampshire, and dog owners throughout the state. Whether you are raising a new puppy, facing behavior issues, or seeking a reliable boarding facility while you are away, we are here to assist you at every step. 

 

With over 30 years of experience in dog behavior and training, our programs focus on one main idea: the strongest tool in dog training is the bond between dog and owner. Every lesson, session, and boarding program is led by a certified AKC Canine Good Citizen™ Evaluator and aims to strengthen that bond. This approach makes life with your dog more enjoyable, safe, and rewarding.

Simply the Dog Gone Best!
Matt provides dog training that fits your LIFESTYLE. His knowledge and understanding of you and your dog's behavior is mind boggling. He has a kind soul and ability to communicate simple and effective training techniques. Our lessons are tailored to fit the family's and our dog's needs.  He keeps it fun by exposing you to a variety of venues from your own backyard to Cabela's.  No location is off limits - we love it!  Today, he incorporated fetching sticks in the river, into an entire group lesson. It was fun and valuable to everyone involved!  I finish every lesson with" WOW that was great!" And to think the dog loves him even more than I do. 


Thanks to Matt, we are able to enjoy all aspects of our life, whether it's vacations, celebrations, or dinners out on the patios of restaurants - all with our 4 legged family member by our side!
