Testimonials
“I am so grateful for the work 513 did with my 2 Golden Doodles. Oakley had been through 2 other trainers and this was my last resort! Oakley now goes in his crate to settle on his own. I am able to now walk 2 big dogs safely in public areas. No pulling! Love it! Thank you Mike, Kayla and Amy!”

“Mike and Amy to the rescue again! We sent our Duke their a year ago to be trained after we were ready to throw in the towel from his horrible behavior. He came back a new dog! We have had a great year until the last few weeks Duke has appeared a little more aggressive and has been nipping people. We sent an sos text last night and they immediately came over today to assess Duke and give us some advice on stopping this behavior. If u need ur dog trained i highly recommend them. We will always send our dogs there.”
– Angie J
“We had our Burnese Mountain dog trained with Mike—Rocky was just a little over a year old and it was AMAZING the difference—still a playful ‘little’ pup (lol) but knew when to behave when told! The experience was super and I’m taking my daughters dogs there now to be trained!!”

About the Trainer
513K9 is a family-owned dog training business that helps dog owners build calm, confident dogs through personalized training programs. They offer three main training options: a 3-week board and train program where dogs stay in their home, a 5-session one-on-one training program for motivated owners, and pay-as-you-go sessions for flexible, goal-specific training. Their approach focuses on educating owners to continue training at home, using tools like prong collars and e-collars alongside positive reinforcement. They emphasize instilling calmness, confidence, and good decision-making in dogs, and provide ongoing support including mid-way and go-home training sessions, access to a private online group, and seasonal pack walks with free refresher training. They welcome dogs of all sizes and ages, with particular experience working with large, strong, and behaviorally challenging dogs.
Their board and train program includes all necessary equipment, two follow-up private sessions, and lifelong access to support. Owners are coached through both successes and setbacks, with an emphasis on building a strong human-dog bond through clear communication and structure.
They also offer emergency support, as evidenced by clients who received immediate help after behavioral regressions, showing their commitment beyond the initial training period.
Accomplishments
Over a decade of experience training dogs. Successfully trained dogs with severe behavioral issues, including those previously failed by other trainers. Clients report dramatic improvements in leash walking, crate settling, and aggression reduction.
