Robin’s K9 Lifestyle

Robin offers private lessons (1–4 sessions), each including behavior assessment and ongoing phone/text support. The 4-session program includes e-collar training if the dog is ready. Board-and-train programs are offered in 2-, 3-, or 4-week durations, covering obedience, behavior modification, real-world exposure, and public access. Each includes daily structure, how-to videos, and a final take-home lesson. Programs are customized for puppies, adults, seniors, and dogs with reactivity, fear, or aggression. Training is conducted in the dog’s home environment for maximum transferability.

Robin’s K9 Lifestyle is a personalized dog training business run by Robin Myers, a certified dog trainer with over 10 years of experience. She offers in-home private lessons, board-and-train programs where she lives in the client’s home with the dog, and off-leash freedom training using e-collars ethically and conditionally. Her approach is tailored to each dog and owner’s unique needs, with no pressure to buy packages—most clients find one session sufficient. She emphasizes building trust, understanding canine behavior, and empowering owners with ongoing support via phone and text. Robin also provides pet care for horses, birds, and exotic animals, and offers educational videos to help owners continue training at home.

She specializes in behavior modification, puppy foundations, leash reactivity, separation anxiety, and resource guarding, using positive reinforcement, clicker training, and conditioned relaxation. Her board-and-train programs are low-stress, with only one or two dogs at a time, and include daily structure, real-world exposure, and follow-up lessons. Robin travels throughout Florida and serves Berryville, VA.

Her services are designed for busy families, working owners, and those seeking lasting results without prolonged training cycles. She avoids large kennels and generic obedience drills, focusing instead on individualized, relationship-based training that translates into real-life freedom for dogs and peace of mind for owners.

How to Get Started!

Client engagement begins with a free phone evaluation to assess the dog’s needs and determine the best program. After the consultation, clients can schedule a private lesson or board-and-train program. Robin conducts behavior assessments during the first session and creates a customized plan. Videos and updates are provided during board-and-train stays to keep owners informed.
