K9 Coach

K9 Coach offers comprehensive training through Private Training Packages, Group Classes, and Online Courses.

Private Training includes two main programs: the Puppy Training Program, designed for puppies aged 8 weeks to 6 months, covers essential skills such as socialization, crate training, potty training, clicker training, sit-stay, down-stay, recall, and loose leash walking. The Perfect Obedience Program is for dogs over 6 months and focuses on clicker training, sit-stay, down-stay, recall, loose leash walking, place, leave it, and drop it. Both programs consist of 6 private, 1.5-hour in-home sessions spanning 3 months. Additionally, custom-built training programs are available to address specific training goals.

Group Classes, known as “K9 Tune-Up,” are open to current or past K9 Coach clients. These 60-minute classes are held monthly in local parks or dog-friendly stores. They aim to advance a dog’s obedience, loose leash walking, socialization, and engagement around distractions. These classes are co-hosted with The Kinetic K9: Dog Training & Rehabilitation and Paw It Forward Dog Training, LLC.

Online Courses provide self-guided training systems. The “Puppy Training System” is an extensive course with over 50 coaching videos across three chapters, covering puppy preparedness (equipment, home set-up, acclimation, feeding, crate training, potty training), relationship and manners (clicker training, loose leash walking, socialization, relationship building, puppy biting, jumping, handling), and obedience (sit-stay, down-stay, place, recall, drop it, advanced loose leash walking). It includes step-by-step plans, guides, and access to a private Facebook group with additional support from K9 Coach Dana. The “Crate Training Course” is a micro-course featuring 3 training chapters and 4 coaching videos, offering two crate training methods and daily games to build positive associations. Both online courses provide lifetime access and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

K9 Coach is a dog training business founded by Dana, who is dedicated to providing owners with the skills and knowledge to achieve their ideal lifestyle with their dogs. Her core philosophy centers on empowering dogs to make good decisions and building a strong, trusting relationship between the owner and their dog. Dana aims to set the stage for dogs to succeed with minimal input, focusing on clarity, confidence, and trust.

The business believes that the ultimate purpose of dog training is to set dogs free, enabling them to make better choices and navigate challenging situations independently. This approach allows owners to relax and offer their dogs the freedom they deserve. K9 Coach emphasizes communication, structure, boundaries, rules, consistency, clarity, and play to foster a mutually respected and trusting bond.

K9 Coach offers a variety of training options including private in-home training packages, group classes, and self-guided online courses. Dana’s personal journey, overcoming struggles with her own puppy, Koda, drives her commitment to helping other dog owners succeed. She has developed a proven puppy raising and training system based on her extensive learning and experience.

Accomplishments
