Personalized, door-to-door transportation by the team you trust with your dog's training.
For families traveling from outside Minnesota, getting your dog to and from Neuman K-9 Academy shouldn't be an obstacle. We offer private ground transportation throughout the continental United States, providing a safe, comfortable, and convenient alternative to commercial pet shipping services.
Unlike companies that transport multiple animals or rely on third-party drivers, your dog travels exclusively with a Neuman K-9 Academy team member in one of our company-owned vehicles. With more than 18 years of experience transporting dogs across the country, we understand how important it is to know your dog is receiving attentive, individualized care throughout the journey.

A More Personal Way to Travel
One dog. One dedicated driver. Individualized care.
Every transportation trip is arranged specifically for your dog. Your dog travels inside the fully climate-controlled passenger cabin, secured in an appropriately sized, airline-approved Petmate crate.
Our transportation service includes:
- Private transportation without other dogs sharing the vehicle.
- An experienced Neuman K-9 Academy employee handling the trip from pickup to delivery.
- Regular stops for walks, exercise, and bathroom breaks.
- Fresh water and twice-daily meals.
- Overnight accommodations when necessary for longer journeys.
- Direct coordination with your dog's training schedule.
From the moment we pick up your dog until arrival at the destination, the same trusted Academy team member oversees the journey.
Transportation to Training
Whether you're located a few hundred miles away or across the country, our team can coordinate transportation to bring your dog to Neuman K-9 Academy. Transportation is scheduled around our camp start dates, with dogs typically arriving a few days before their program begins. This allows time for your dog to settle in before training starts and ensures our team is available to welcome each incoming class.
Transportation Home After Graduation
We can also arrange transportation home following your dog's graduation. Return trips are generally scheduled for the Tuesday or Wednesday immediately following graduation, allowing our team to complete graduation activities and welcome the next incoming class before departing. Your dog remains in our care at the Academy until its scheduled departure.
Nationwide Coverage
We provide private ground transportation throughout the lower 48 United States. For families traveling from Canada, we can also coordinate pickup at an agreed-upon U.S. border crossing. We do not provide airport transportation or commercial airline shipping.
In 2026 alone, we've transported dogs for families in Tampa, Florida; Parsippany, New Jersey; Palm Springs, California; and other locations throughout the country.
Experienced, Insured & Dedicated to Your Dog
Our transportation service is operated by Neuman K-9 Academy employees using company-owned vehicles, and we maintain insurance for pet transportation services. For more than 18 years, we've helped families safely transport their dogs to and from training, maintaining a 100% successful delivery record.
We take the responsibility of transporting your dog seriously and strive to make the experience as comfortable, predictable, and convenient as possible.
Request Transportation
Because each trip is arranged individually, we'll review availability and confirm your fee after you send this request. Transportation reservations are subject to scheduling availability and the terms of our Interstate Pet Transportation Agreement, which will be provided for your review before booking and payment.
