Dog Training Methodology

Equipment: 

  • Obstacle Courses

The Modern K9 offers specialized board and train programs as well as private lessons, custom-tailored to each dog’s needs. Dogs stay in the trainers’ home with their family, ensuring continuous, day-and-night training without the use of kennel facilities.

Their Puppy Program (8-15 weeks) is a 2-week board and train focusing on foundational skills like crate training, exposure, socialization, marker training, place, focus/engagement, sit/down/stay. It includes private lessons post-stay and a final training session at 7-8 months of age. The 2 Week On-Leash Program is for social, young adult or older dogs, teaching loose leash walking, place (with an included elevated dog bed), sit, down, stay (reliable with distractions), and addressing jumping, nipping, and nuisance barking.

The 4 Week Off-leash Program is their most advanced offering, designed for off-leash freedom and control in any environment. They also provide a Reactivity Program, lasting 3-6 weeks depending on evaluation, specifically for rehabbing dogs with leash reactivity.

Testimonials

“Our 10 month old Australian Labradoodle Rudy was ruling our house and causing a lot of tension for our family. After two weeks with Corey and Modern K9 we see such a difference in our dog and home life. We have the tools and knowledge to carry on what Rudy learned. No more leash pulling or biting, no more barking in our faces at night. It’s been a gamechanger.”
– Jennifer G.

“From a friendly, but undisciplined dog through Corey’s training sessions Axel has become a dream dog. I highly recommend utilizing his services. Corey is a professional and knowledgeable dog trainer who will always help you with your questions even after the training. I have already recommended him to a friend.”
– Marie B.

“We had a great experience. Our 8 month old Doberman was almost impossible to walk on a least. Last night I took her to my daughter’s soccer practice and she did great. It’s a night and day difference. Thank you.”
– April S.
