Badger K9 Training, LLC is a Sun Prairie, Wisconsin dog training business built around one focus: Board & Train programs that produce real, livable obedience — not just tricks for a training room.
Your dog boards with us Monday through Friday for daily structured training, then comes home to you every weekend to practice in real family life. Every program includes private lessons and a go-home plan so you're set up to keep the training going.
We use a balanced training approach that combines reward-based training with e-collar training when appropriate. Every dog is different, so we don't take a one-size-fits-all approach — we'll work directly with you to figure out what training style fits your dog's temperament and your goals as an owner.
Positive reinforcement and marker training build drive, engagement, and a strong relationship with your dog. This is the foundation every program is built on, no exceptions.
Introduced properly and humanely, e-collar training gives us a reliable way to generalize commands off-leash and in high-distraction environments. It's never the starting point, and it's not used with every dog.
Daily, focused training builds obedience faster than once-a-week lessons.
Dogs thrive on routine — every day follows a structured training rhythm.
No cookie-cutter approach. Training is built around your dog and your goals.
Go-home lesson plus follow-up sessions so training sticks at home.
A look at real dogs, real training, and real progress.
“He is great with my dogs! They listen so much better, and I'm able to keep up the training at home on my own with his training tips. He is also flexible which is PERFECT if you're a nurse or in a field with a crazy schedule like me. My dogs also love him — thank you Derek!”
“Our Belgian Malinois made huge improvements during training — solid obedience including sit, down, heel, and more. One of the biggest changes was her confidence around strangers, going from barking at people to staying calm and focused. Derek was knowledgeable, patient, and great to work with.”
“Derek always takes amazing care of my Malinois. He prioritizes reinforcing appropriate behaviors, allows for structured play time, and can handle any routine you'd prefer for your dog. Whiskey comes home refreshed and on his best behavior. Above all, Derek is a dog lover who genuinely likes working with them.”

Your dog boards with us Monday through Friday for training, then goes home with you every weekend. This gives them a chance to practice their new skills in real family life, and we pick back up Monday.
We use a balanced approach. Every dog starts with reward-based training — positive reinforcement and marker training — to build engagement, drive, and a strong foundation. For dogs that are ready, we also incorporate e-collar training to reinforce reliability and off-leash control in real-world, high-distraction environments. There's no one-size-fits-all method — we'll talk through your goals and your dog's temperament during your free consultation to determine the right approach together.
We'll walk you through everything during your free consultation, including what to bring (food, medications, leash/collar) and current vaccination requirements.
Every dog learns at their own pace. If we recommend extending your program, we'll discuss it with you before making any changes.
That's exactly what the free consultation is for. We'll talk through your dog's behavior and goals and recommend the program that fits best — no upselling.
We like to support other small, local businesses that make life easier for dog owners in the area.
