Behavior modification dog training is a type of positive reinforcement-based training that uses rewards to teach dogs new behaviors in order to promote good behavior. Dogs learn better when they are rewarded for correct actions, and this technique has been proven effective.

Sent our five month old boxer, Charlotte, for the two week puppy board and train. Got regular video updates showing her progress. At pick up, the trainer spent over an hour training my husband and I on how to transfer these skills to our home. The results have been great! Charlotte is more obedient and calm, walks beautifully and follows all commands promised with the program. Would highly recommend!

We brought our lab puppy to K9Aholics to participate in the puppy academy. She is much easier to handle on walks and around the house; she definitely is a quick learner! We also learned a lot from the trainers when we went to pick her up; and their program truly creates a genuine relationship between the trainers and the dog families.They have a great team of trainers who all care very much about each individual dog and it shows! We would absolutely recommend K9Aholics to our friends, family and anyone who has a puppy or dog that needs more training!

K9Aholics is absolutely amazing. We bought what we felt was a impossible situation to them and they exceeded our expectations! The team is patient and although our dog was a bred that is typically difficult to train they never gave up. Kat was kind, encouraging, and knowledgeable when often times I had lost hope. Her dedication to our fur baby was extraordinary, and though I knew they had other dogs in the program I always felt that we were priority. She took time to explain and "train" me as well. I will forever be grateful for this team, they gave us the tools to have a fulfilling life with our dog. I highly recommend this to anyone seeking assistance in training your dog, it is worth every penny!

We were really happy with the outcome of our bulldog Olaf and the training that’s been a game changer for us and being comfortable, taking them in public and going on walks. Thank you so much. Especially Haleigh because she’s communication and detailed walk-through of the training or second to none. Thank you.
