Does this sound like your dog?

Dragging you down the street like you’re the one on the leash?
Climbing your guests like a tree while you yell “he’s friendly!”?
Listening at home, but forgetting every command the second you leave the house?
Losing his mind at every dog, jogger, and bicycle while the whole street watches?

That’s just a fraction of what we fix.

Here’s what you get with us: Lifetime Support. One investment gets you unlimited support after training, so you have the knowledge to keep your dog’s professional-grade training sharp for good. NO EXTRA CHARGE, EVER.

TRAINING & BOARDING

Training that holds up in the real world.

Every program is built around your dog, not a class schedule. Open to all breeds.

Basic On-Leash Obedience

The foundation for a calm, well-mannered dog. Say goodbye to the dragging, the jumping on guests, the lack of self-control, and the ignored commands. Walks and vet visits go from a battle to a breeze.

Elite Off-Leash Obedience

Our highest level of civilian training. Say goodbye to your dog bolting out the door, you chasing your runaway dog down the street, and being scared to drop the leash. Your dog listens from far away, even around distractions, and you get real off-leash freedom.

Boarding

Your dog stays in my home, with my family. Real attention, no rotating strangers. Your dog lives with me and is treated like my own, from drop-off to pickup.

DAY CARE

Safe. Clean. Loved.

Your dog stays with people who treat them like family, on a private 5-acre property in New Orleans. Structured play, supervision, and daily exercise while you’re at work.

Founder & Certified Professional Dog Trainer

Born and raised in New Orleans, Walter is a law enforcement officer, SWAT operator, former Police K9 handler, and Certified Professional Dog Trainer. He founded Fleur De Lis K9 Academy to bring the highest standard of dog training to local families.

His career taught him one rule: when someone trusts you with their problem, you treat it as your own. He brings that same discipline, patience, and care to every dog he works with.

Whether it’s an unruly puppy or a serious behavior problem, there’s a family behind every dog looking for answers and peace of mind. Walter is here to give them both.
