K9 Kim’s Dog Training & Behavior Services is a professional dog training business led by Kim Guy, a CPDT-KA certified trainer, offering comprehensive behavior modification and obedience training for dogs of all ages and breeds. They specialize in resolving leash reactivity, frustration, and aggression, while also providing puppy training, basic manners, therapy dog preparation, and fun canine sports like nose work, rally, and fitness. Their unique advantage lies in offering multiple service formats—including private in-home and facility sessions, drop-off day training, and structured group classes—allowing owners to choose the best fit for their lifestyle. They also offer a proprietary “Home School” program where trainers come to the client’s home to train the dog without boarding. Their approach is positive, reward-based, and focused on building confidence and communication between dogs and their owners.

They provide structured drop-in puppy socialization and adolescent social hours, a Polite Puppy Bundle combining private, group, and day training, and specialized reactive dog programs. Their day training program is distinct from traditional daycare, offering supervised, behavior-focused enrichment with a maximum of 10 dogs per day. They also offer clinics and workshops for owners interested in trying new activities with their dogs.

Kim Guy is deeply committed to client support, as evidenced by testimonials highlighting her compassion, expertise, and personalized attention—even providing emotional support during pet end-of-life moments. Their services are available seven days a week by appointment, with flexible scheduling to accommodate busy families and working professionals.
