Co-Op K9 Training is a dog training business based in Greensboro, NC, led by Megan, a passionate and experienced trainer with a focus on balanced, pressure-and-reward-based methods. They help dog owners build a cooperative, calm, and confident relationship with their pets through personalized training programs tailored to each family’s needs. Their unique offering includes Greensboro’s only in-home board and train program, where dogs stay in Megan’s personal home with 24/7 video surveillance and structured daily training. They also provide private in-home lessons, daily training sessions (Monday–Thursday), puppy training, and boarding services exclusively for current or past training clients. Megan emphasizes owner involvement, providing a 50-page Balanced Owner Guide and follow-up lessons for up to one year after board and train programs to ensure long-term success.

They specialize in behavior modification for reactive, anxious, or challenging dogs, with strong focus on leash etiquette, potty training, bite inhibition, and confidence building. Their services are designed for owners who want hands-on guidance and sustainable results without sending their dog away for extended periods. Boarding is available at discounted rates for training clients, and all programs are structured to empower owners with clear communication tools and consistent leadership techniques.

Megan trained under Solid K9 Training and spent five years working with other training companies before founding Co-Op K9. She has successfully trained numerous rescue and high-needs dogs, including working-line German Shepherds and reactive Rhodesian Ridgebacks, with documented client success stories and ongoing support.

How to Get Started!

Prospective clients must first schedule a 30-minute phone consultation for $50 to discuss their dog’s needs and determine the best training program. After the consultation, clients can book private lessons, daily training, or board and train programs based on availability.
