Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Other
Extreme K-9 offers a “Whole Dog Training” approach, which focuses on understanding how a dog thinks and working with their natural instincts to achieve lasting results. They provide various classes and private sessions to address both general obedience and specific problem behaviors. Their training aims to help dogs make sense of the world around them, rather than turning them into “robots.”

About the Trainer
Extreme K-9 is a dog training business dedicated to helping dog owners understand their pets and improve their lives through training. They believe that dogs do an amazing job navigating our world, and by teaching owners to speak their dog’s language, they can resolve issues and deepen relationships.
They offer training for both fun and to fix problems. For fun, they help deepen the bond with your dog, teaching advanced skills like off-leash hiking, hide-and-seek, rolling over, high-fives, and fetching.
For problem behaviors, they address a wide range of issues including dog-to-dog aggression, dog-to-human aggression, food aggression, fearfulness, shyness, sound and touch sensitivity, fear biting, housebreaking problems, separation anxiety, destructiveness, excessive barking, chewing, digging, jumping, and car chasing.
Their unique approach, called “Whole Dog Training,” focuses on understanding how your dog thinks, what matters to them, and working with their natural instincts to achieve lasting results. They also provide dog boarding services.
