About the Trainer
Northbound K9 LLC is a dog training business led by Stevie Klaven, offering individualized and in-home lessons designed to help dogs and owners succeed. They provide training for puppy development, basic and advanced obedience, and behavior modification.
A key advantage is their flexible scheduling, with appointments available on weekdays, weekends, and evenings. They also offer follow-up support via text, call, or email between lessons.
