Align K9

Virtual sessions are 30 minutes via WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. Puppy packages include three in-home sessions for dogs under 6 months. Severe behavior cases require a 2.5-hour intensive session. Play-n-Train offers 45-minute dog park training. Rescue dog training is a dedicated one-hour session.

Align K9 is a canine behavior consulting service based in Southwest Florida, offering in-home dog training and behavior modification for dog owners in Naples, Bonita, Estero, Fort Myers, and Cape Coral. Founded by Rayfield Baisley, a certified Canine Behavior Consultant with 12 years of specialized experience in rehabilitating rescued dogs, Align K9 focuses on force-free, science-based training that emphasizes understanding canine cognition and improving the human-dog relationship. Unlike traditional dog trainers, Align K9 treats training as “dog teaching,” helping owners understand the why behind their dog’s behavior rather than just applying quick fixes. Services include in-home consultations, virtual training, puppy packages, severe behavior management, and rescue dog support. Rayfield’s approach is centered on benevolent leadership, positive reinforcement, and building trust, with a strong emphasis on educating owners to become effective, compassionate leaders for their dogs.

In addition to training, Align K9 offers phone and virtual consultations for remote clients and provides specialized support for dogs with fear, aggression, reactivity, and separation anxiety. The business also supports local animal rescue organizations and has developed the B.A.R.K. program for therapy dog teams. Training is tailored to each dog’s individual needs and the owner’s lifestyle, with no one-size-fits-all solutions.

Align K9 also offers related services including dog walking and dog park training (Play-n-Train), and works with dogs of all ages—from puppies to seniors—with a focus on behavior modification over basic obedience alone.
