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.

K9aholics Dog Training - Bear (German Shorthaired Pointer)
We enrolled in the three-week training course with Haliegh as our main trainer. When we dropped Bear off, he was house trained but had no real control and was extremely high energy, even after I’d take him on 3-mile runs. Our household has four kids under 12, so his chaos was a lot to manage at home and outside. I was skeptical at first, but I was extremely surprised when we picked him up. The three hours we spent with Haliegh at pickup, reviewing all the new lessons, showed us Bear could do more than we thought—and not just Bear, but us as well. K9aholics, and Haliegh in particular, trained us to be solid working-dog parents, not just to train Bear. The care and skill of this program are far superior to anything I’ve seen and absolutely worth the investment. The follow-up trainings at our house were not only necessary but reassuring that we were moving in the right direction. When/if we get a second pup, we’ll definitely return to K9aholics; for now, they’re part of the family and we also use them to watch Bear when we travel. With our busy schedules and the kids, this program and company have been a true blessing.

We recently found K9aholics and have boarded our two adult pit bulls multiple times. We have tried multiple dog boarding/training facilities in Louisiana and Virginia and this is easily the best one! The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and the services provided are all top notch. K9aholics provides pictures and updates when you board the dogs and keep you informed on training progress and any issues that may arise. We will be back again and again and would recommend K9aholics to anyone looking for great daycare/boarding/training!

We would definitely recommend using K9Aholics for training. We dropped off our 5 month old boxer for the two week board and train. When we picked him up after the two weeks he is a new dog. What he learned in the two weeks is amazing. Every staff member we dealt with was extremely helpful. We are planning on continuing Ronan’s training with K9Aholics.
