O4K9 is a professional dog training business founded by Blake Marretta, a United States Marine Corps Veteran with eight years of service and training experience since 2015. Blake specializes in obedience, behavior modification, and puppy training using his proprietary “Molding Method,” which combines discipline and consistency with positive reinforcement to create lasting results. The business offers customized training plans ranging from 5 to 12+ weeks, including board and train options, video call coaching, and one-hour consultations. O4K9 also provides dog boarding services at $50/night for the first dog, with discounts for additional dogs and veterans. Training equipment is included in all packages, and Blake recommends trusted products like Kuranda Dog Cots. The business serves dog owners in Moscow, Idaho and Latah County, focusing on building a strong bond between dogs and their owners through structured, repeatable techniques.

Blake emphasizes that training doesn’t end when the program does—he continues supporting clients until they can confidently manage their dog’s behavior independently. O4K9’s approach is not purely positive reinforcement; it incorporates corrections and structure to ensure dogs learn obedience in all environments, including off-leash settings and public places. Clients report dramatic improvements in leash pulling, jumping, barking, separation anxiety, and recall behaviors.

In addition to training, O4K9 offers a shop with recommended dog products, gift cards, and referral partnerships, reinforcing their commitment to providing reliable tools for dog owners.
