Goldendoodle
Rocky Mountain K9's most popular breed at all 5 locations
The Goldendoodle — a Golden Retriever and Poodle cross — is the most common breed across all five Rocky Mountain K9 locations. Their low-shedding, wavy-to-curly coats and eager-to-please personalities make them naturals for both professional grooming and structured training programs.
Utah's dry climate (average humidity 25–35%) causes Goldendoodle coats to mat significantly faster than in humid states. At higher elevations like Park City (7,000 ft), UV exposure can also subtly bleach darker coats over summer. Our groomers recommend a conditioning treatment at every appointment.
Goldendoodles respond exceptionally well to positive reinforcement. At RMK9, we see them master basic obedience in 2–4 sessions and move quickly into advanced commands. Their Golden Retriever side makes them people-pleasers; their Poodle side gives them the problem-solving ability to retain complex behaviors.
Golden Retriever
Gentle, devoted, and consistently one of RMK9's most requested grooming breeds
Golden Retrievers are the third most common breed at Rocky Mountain K9, particularly prominent at the Park City location. Their long feathered coats require regular professional grooming, and their famously gentle temperament makes them ideal for both group daycare and training programs.
Golden Retrievers love water — and Utah's rivers, reservoirs, and mountain lakes see heavy dog traffic in summer. After swimming, their dense coats take hours to fully dry and are prone to hot spots if not properly blown out. RMK9 groomers recommend a full bath and blow-out within 24 hours of any water activity.
Goldens are among the most rewarding breeds to train at RMK9. They genuinely want to please their handler, which makes correction unnecessary in most cases — redirection and positive reinforcement is all that's needed. They also retain commands exceptionally well between sessions, meaning owners see fast real-world results.
Yorkshire Terrier
Small but mighty — RMK9's most groomed toy breed
Yorkshire Terriers are the second most common small breed at Rocky Mountain K9, particularly prominent at Grantsville and Heber City. Their fine, silky coats grow continuously and require regular professional grooming — and their bold personalities make every training session an adventure.
Yorkie coats tangle easily in Utah's dry conditions. Our groomers see significantly more matting in winter months when indoor heating further reduces humidity. A light leave-in conditioning spray applied daily at home dramatically reduces mat formation between appointments.
Yorkies are sharper than their size suggests — they pick up commands quickly, especially for treats. The challenge at RMK9 is their terrier confidence: they're not naturally deferential. Short, fun sessions with high-value rewards work well. They bore quickly with repetition. Socialization with larger breeds is important early — Yorkies that haven't been socialized can develop 'big dog' bravado that creates problems in group settings.
