Divine K-9 is a dog training business led by trainer Jorge that specializes in positive reinforcement-based training using scientific principles of learning theory. They offer group classes, private in-home sessions, and behavior modification services to help dog owners build trust, mutual respect, and clear communication with their dogs. Their approach focuses on rewarding desired behaviors rather than using intimidation or force, helping dogs develop confidence and good manners in everyday situations. They also provide specialized services such as Baby Makes Four (preparing dogs for new babies), Dog Finder (helping families choose the right dog), and Dog Run Etiquette (teaching proper behavior at dog parks). Their training programs are designed to be practical, fun, and effective, with an emphasis on helping dogs thrive in real-life environments.

They operate out of a private facility and travel to clients’ homes for private sessions, serving a local area with flexibility for scheduling. Divine K-9 also runs a playgroup called “Wanna Go Outside?” for socialization and exercise, and sells positive reinforcement-themed merchandise through their online shop, Shop R+.

The business is known for helping dogs with fear, anxiety, aggression, leash reactivity, and separation issues, and has received numerous testimonials praising Jorge’s ability to connect with both dogs and owners, resulting in lasting behavioral improvements and stronger human-canine bonds.
