The K9ology Center is owned and operated by certified dog trainer and behaviorist Charlotte Wagner, BSc (Hons) and husband Joshua Harvey. We are conveniently located on the corner of Route 211W and Old Hollow Rd at 12167 Lee Hwy, in Sperryville 22740. We are just under half an hour from Madison, Warrenton, Luray, Front Royal, and surrounding areas.

 

At the K9ology Center, we specialize in a variety of group classes and private dog training programs, specialty boarding options,  educational seminars, events, and more! 

 

We use only the scientifically-proven, force-free methods and use a variety of tools based on your dog's age, development, breed, and skill level. We are big fans of clicker training, but will use verbal markers and praise as well. At K9ology we take a holistic approach to training incorporating elements of psychology, ethology, biology and animal husbandry to get the most out of your relationship with your dog. We have a gigantic toolbox and a vast application of learning theory to suit your dog's needs! 

 

We are firm believers in the use of positive reinforcement, motivation, clear communication, and purposeful handling to achieve lasting results! Our team of pet professionals are here to focus on the human end of the leash!
