Kodiak K9 Training LLC is a family-owned, NOVA-based board and train dog training business that offers immersive, in-home training for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Their program places dogs directly into the homes of certified trainers—never kennels—where they live as part of the family, learning real-world manners through daily routines like walks, meal times, and interactions with people and other animals. The founders, Brad and Corey, are former police K9 handlers with over a decade of experience each, and they only work with trainers who meet high standards of professionalism and care. Training emphasizes a balanced approach, combining positive reinforcement with timely corrections, and focuses on building confidence, impulse control, and reliable obedience both on and off leash. Clients receive daily photos and videos, personalized take-home lessons, and ongoing support after the program ends. The business also offers a holiday discount and accommodates urgent requests with flexible scheduling.

Dogs are trained in household manners including leash walking, recall, no jumping, no barking, counter-surfing, and reactivity management. They also address serious behavior issues like resource guarding, fearfulness, and aggression. Training integrates the whole family to ensure consistency at home, and dogs are treated with love, affection, and structure—allowed on furniture and beds just as they would be in their own homes.

Trainers include certified professionals with backgrounds in law enforcement K9 work, behavior modification, and family-centered training, many of whom have personal experience with rescue dogs or multiple pets at home. Kodiak K9 is committed to honoring the legacy of Brad’s retired police K9, Kodiak, by treating every dog as a valued family member.

Accomplishments

Founded by police K9 handlers with over 15 years of experience each. Trainers include former law enforcement K9 handlers, certified professionals, and individuals with backgrounds in behavior modification and family-centered training. The business is named in honor of Brad’s retired police K9 partner, Kodiak, who served for ten years.
