King K9 Academy of Lewiston is a Dog Training business in Lewiston, ME. It offers board‑and‑train programs and small‑group classes on a 15‑acre working farm, with specific options such as Puppy Head Start for 3‑ to 6‑month‑old puppies, the Complete Program for dogs six months and older, and the Cornerstone Program focused on solid on‑leash obedience. The academy serves owners from Portland to Waterville and beyond, drawing on more than 20 years of professional experience and a 5.00‑star rating supported by over fifty five‑star reviews.
The academy’s approach centers on a single trainer, Joshua Antell, who personally works with each dog and limits enrollment to four board‑and‑train dogs at a time. Training takes place on a 15‑acre farm that includes livestock, woodland, a training barn, and a confidence course, providing real‑world distractions that many facilities cannot replicate. Dogs also participate in field trips to towns, stores, and public spaces so that learned behaviors transfer to everyday environments. Antell’s background includes studying learning theory at Harvard and training under world‑champion protection dog trainers; the business celebrated its tenth year while having worked with hundreds of dogs on the farm. The academy emphasizes personal attention rather than a production line, and it also offers small‑group classes limited to three dogs per session.
By combining a farm setting with individualized instruction from an experienced trainer, King K9 Academy delivers focused dog training that reflects the needs of Lewiston pet owners.
