Our owner and lead instructor, Jim O’Brien, handled two police canines while he was a patrolman in the state of New Hampshire. Jim and his canine partners were a huge asset in central New Hampshire and were responsible for the capture and arrest of countless suspects and drug seizures. Jim developed both canines programs from the ground up and had much success with both programs.
Jim was the lead instructor at two kennels in the state of NC where he was tasked with instructing Law Enforcement and Military personnel. Jim has instructed canine teams from around the world and has instructed classes for Working Dog Magazine, K9 Cop Magazine, Bravo 3, and Blue Line K9 conferences. Jim enjoys learning new skills to enhance his abilities as a trainer and continually strives to increase the success rates of his canine teams in the field.
Jim has had many great human influences and dog trainers over the years that have assisted his growth as a trainer and his love for dog training. However, the one being that grew that passion more than any human was his last partner, Blek. Blek was a great patrol dog, but was the best instructor!

Why Our Clients Love Working With Us
I sent my Whippet, Daisy, to NC K9 as a 12 week-old puppy for thirty days of training. Daisy has always a great dog with a very spirited personality. However, her spirit and personal drive made it difficult for me to give her adequate training at home.
I am extremely pleased with the work Jim completed my pup. She still remains playful but has all needed commands learned, socializes well with other people and pets, and is a pleasure to walk and take to dog parks.
"Could not be more pleased with the outcome"

"Highly recommend"

Amazing training given to my dog by Jim & his team!! I felt comfortable, immediately, leaving him in Jim’s hands! Their team went above and beyond, by offering anything I may need to feel confident bringing my pup home. Jim is very educated, communicative, and excellent with the dogs (as well as their owners.) I was provided clear information to continue training in my home. My pup is impeccably trained and happy, thanks to Jim & his team!
Our boy Soldier went to the 6 week board and train program with N.C. K9 LLC.Throughout the training, they were great with updating us on his progress, letting us know which step they were at, and sending all the pictures. Jim also spent a lot of time with us at pickup to give us the guidance we needed to ensure his training continues. Today is our first day home with him and he has done a full 180! No more pulling on walks, no reaction to people or other dogs, and his correction time is instant.

"Results nothing short of miraculous"
Hayatt Ziboukh
Our 6-year-old dog, Achilles, struggled with severe behavioral and aggression issues. We decided to enroll him in NC K9’s 6-week behavioral modification program, and the results have been nothing short of miraculous. From the moment Achilles returned home, it was like we had a completely different dog. He has become more relaxed, well-behaved, and responsive to commands. We are so grateful for NC K9's expertise and dedication. If you're looking for a team that truly knows how to transform dogs and support their families, look no further than NC K9!
