WEST PALM BEACH, FL
Disciplined dogs.
Clear methods.
Hektor K9 applies Schutzhund/IPG and Nepopo methodology to produce dogs that are calm, focused, and reliable — in your home and in the world.
METHODOLOGY
Systems that produce results
We train using two proven European systems — not trends, not guesswork.
Schutzhund / IPG
The German system for developing tracking, obedience, and protection in working breeds. We adapt its structured progression and drive-building techniques for companion dogs — producing focus, impulse control, and reliable obedience under real-world distraction.
Nepopo Method
Developed by Bart Bellon, Nepopo uses three clear communication markers — positive, negative, and positive again — to create fast, low-stress learning. The dog always knows exactly where they stand, which builds confidence and accelerates progress.
AKC CGC Evaluator
We don't just train — we certify. As an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, we can both prepare your dog and administer the official CGC test. One program, verified results.
PROGRAMS

Every program is structured, goal-oriented, and priced transparently. No hidden fees. No upsells.
