ICONK9 serves Centreville, Chantilly and western Fairfax County from the Nokesville campus, about 30 minutes south on VA-28. Fairfax County families come to us for the cases weekly classes do not solve: reactivity, aggression, full obedience resets, board & train and working dog programs.
ICONK9 is a professional dog trainer serving Centreville, Virginia from its Training Campus at 15001 Fleetwood Drive, Nokesville, VA — about 30 minutes from Centreville, south on VA-28 past Bull Run. Every program starts with an evaluation (testing fee $250–$2,000 by level); training is then built for the dog and starts from $1,000, confirmed before it begins. Family obedience, behavior modification, board & train, handler training and working dog development. Call or text +1 (571) 597-5959 or email info@iconk9.com.
Centreville dogs live at high density: townhouses and apartments, elevators and shared hallways, packed trails at Bull Run and Cub Run, and constant contact with strangers and other dogs. The bar for a reliable dog is higher here, which is why the evaluation looks at the home and the handler, not only the dog.
From Centreville, Chantilly and Clifton we most often see leash reactivity in dense neighborhoods, dogs that cannot settle in apartments, resource guarding around children, adult rescues with unknown histories, and families who want a second opinion after a training program that did not hold. None of these are solved from a menu. The evaluation tells us what is actually going on — temperament, drives, history, the home, the handler — and the program is built from that report. Read how the whole process works in The System.
Application and a free 15-minute intro call, then structured testing of the dog, the owner and their interaction at the campus. You get a detailed report and decide whether to proceed.
A custom program built from the evaluation — training sessions or residential board & train. The duration is set by the test result, not sold by the week.
The system is moved into real life in Centreville — home routines, walks, visitors — then handed over to you with owner control. Follow-ups keep it reliable. No dog is delivered without adaptation.
Every path below is placed after the evaluation. Testing fees are a guide: Level 1 puppies $250, Level 2 adolescent dogs $1,000, Level 3 mature dogs $2,000, Level 4 custom quote, Level 5 by application. Training starts from $1,000; consulting is $250 per hour.
Puppy foundations, crate and toilet training, socialization and neutrality, basic to advanced obedience, household control.
Family dog programs →Reactivity, fear, resource guarding, aggression and bite-risk cases through a safe, evaluation-based process.
Serious behavior problems →Residential training at the Nokesville campus with mandatory adaptation and owner handover before your dog comes home.
Board & train in Northern Virginia →Protection, detection, tracking, sport and dual-purpose K9 development with handler education; consulting for dog selection.
Working dog programs →Centreville is close enough for weekly sessions, so board & train here is a decision about the case, not the distance. Residential work is the right call when the behavior needs daily controlled repetitions — established reactivity, aggression and bite-risk cases, serious anxiety, or a dog that has already failed a class-based program.
There is no fixed length and no package: the evaluation sets the program and the program sets the duration. Training starts from $1,000 with the final price confirmed in writing before it begins; the testing fee depends on the level ($250 Level 1, $1,000 Level 2, $2,000 Level 3, custom quote Level 4, application for Level 5). Facility stay, food, transport, veterinary needs and taxes are calculated separately when required. Dogs must be at least 3 months old with complete, documented vaccinations.
The program is not finished when your dog leaves the kennel. Adaptation moves the system into your Centreville home — routines, walks, visitors — and the handover puts you in control, with follow-up afterwards. No dog is delivered before adaptation.

Most of what a Centreville dog will be at three years old is decided before twelve months. Puppies are accepted at the Nokesville campus from 3 months old with complete, documented vaccinations, and a Level 1 evaluation — $250, about 3 days and 6+ sessions — tells you what your puppy actually is: temperament, drives, and the two or three things worth prioritizing right now.
The early work is not tricks. It is crate and toilet routine, calm handling, the leash as a normal object, controlled socialization and neutrality while the window is still open, then recall and impulse control before adolescence arrives. In Centreville that usually means a puppy that can pass the neighbor's fence, the sidewalk traffic and the park without loading up.
See puppy training for the program itself, the puppy training timeline for what to build in each window, and the socialization window guide for the exposure list.

Yes. Board & train is residential training at the Nokesville campus: the evaluation sets the program, the program sets the duration, and your dog goes through adaptation and a structured handover before coming home. Dogs must be at least 3 months old and fully vaccinated.
Yes. Puppies are accepted at the Nokesville campus from 3 months old with complete, documented vaccinations. A Level 1 evaluation ($250, about 3 days and 6+ sessions) sets the priorities, and the program covers crate and toilet routine, controlled socialization and neutrality, leash foundations, recall and impulse control before adolescence.
Often, yes — after the evaluation. Aggression, reactivity, severe fear and bite-risk cases are assessed first, safely and in a structured process; the program is decided from that assessment, not from the visible complaint.
