Simpatico K9 Training is a dog training service led by Simon, who focuses on improving the communication and bond between dog owners and their dogs. The training emphasizes understanding canine behavior and body language to bridge the gap between human and dog communication, rather than just teaching commands. Simon uses simple, effective methods grounded in years of hands-on experience and training with animal behavior experts. He offers customized curriculums tailored to each client’s goals, with sessions lasting 90 minutes and ongoing email or phone support included. His approach is rooted in the belief that dogs already love their owners and simply need to understand them better.

Simon provides in-home training services throughout Greater King County, WA, and begins every client relationship with a free 30-minute consultation to discuss the dog’s environment, challenges, and owner goals. He does not train dogs in a facility or offer boarding, day training, or group classes. His training philosophy is influenced by renowned experts like Patricia McConnell, Jean Donaldson, and Brenda Aloff, with an emphasis on reading canine signals and adjusting human behavior to improve mutual understanding.
