K9 Intuition Dog Training specializes in behavioral modification for dogs, particularly those with severe issues that other trainers might refuse to work with. They focus on healing dogs that are animal reactive, human aggressive, former fighting dogs, fearful dogs, and those needing balance. The head trainer and owner, Stefano Filippelli, uses a technique of building trust, respect, and a gentle hand to rebuild a dog’s faith in humanity and trust in other dogs with the help of his pack.

In addition to training, K9 Intuition offers boutique-style dog boarding at “Astro’s Place” in Acton, CA. This facility provides climate-controlled indoor kennels with private outdoor runs, 24/7 on-site supervision by professional dog trainers, and personalized care.
