Joint Forces K9 Group in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, says it has trained 1,000 dogs at its state-of-the-art training and boarding facility and offers professional services aimed at improving behavior and owner–dog bonds. The owner, Robert Shewmake, described the operation as a safe and comfortable environment where dogs can thrive and receive individualized attention.

The facility combines training and boarding under one roof. The organization emphasizes that common behavioral issues leading to dog surrenders include non-aggressive problems like house-soiling, chewing, barking, and separation-related behaviors, which often prompt owners to relinquish their pets. Programs are intended to address these behavioral challenges and help dogs integrate more smoothly into family life.

Robert Shewmake, Owner of Joint Forces K9 Group, said, “Our trainers are highly skilled and have real-world experience working with all types of dogs, from family pets to working canines.” He noted that well-trained dogs are more likely to respond reliably to their owners’ commands, thereby increasing community safety by reducing aggressive or uncontrolled behaviors in public spaces. Professional dog training services impact community safety.

Staff at the Siloam Springs site provide individualized attention and structured sessions, the group says, using the dedicated facility to offer continuity of care while animals are boarded. The company describes the space as a state-of-the-art training and boarding facility that prioritizes a safe and comfortable environment where dogs can thrive.

Shewmake framed the work as part of a broader effort to reduce behavior-related relinquishments—studies show that roughly 30–40% of dogs surrendered to shelters do so, at least in part, due to behavioral problems—and to improve public safety by addressing problematic behaviors before they escalate. “We’re proud to have helped so many dogs and families in Northwest Arkansas,” he added, linking the facility’s work to outcomes for owners and communities.

The training programs are presented as a full-service suite, from basic obedience and behavioral modification to more specialized forms of work, all delivered by trainers Shewmake says have hands-on experience with both companion animals and working canines. He added, “We’ve trained dogs from all walks of life, and we’re committed to continuing our work to help dogs become the best versions of themselves.”

The announcement about the Siloam Springs operation and its services was circulated through trade and local news channels; the organization positions the combined training-and-boarding model as a way to give owners consistent instruction and dogs uninterrupted, supervised training time.

Owners who bring animals to the facility can expect individualized plans aimed at particular behavioral goals. That approach, the group argues, supports stronger bonds between owners and their dogs and reduces pressure on local shelters by addressing issues that sometimes lead to surrender.

Robert Shewmake is named as the owner and spokesperson for Joint Forces K9 Group and provided the statements included here. The facility and its staff are presented as professionals with experience across family and working-dog contexts, operating from a single, dedicated location in Siloam Springs.

Where things stand now: Joint Forces K9 Group continues to operate its training and boarding services from the Siloam Springs facility with the stated goal of improving dog behavior, strengthening owner relationships, and supporting community safety.
