Behavior consultationProgram details
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.

Haleigh truly saved our German Shepherd from being re-homed. My parents had reached the last straw with our reactive and crate aggressive 3 year old Shepherd but after the 3 week board and train, she is a new dog. Haleigh’s communication consisted of frequent texts, report cards, video updates, and pictures so that we were involved in the day to day process. Now we are able to take our Shepherd for walks, bring company into the house, allow the cats to roam free, and generally be at peace with our now 4 year old. Haleigh still even checks in on our progress and offers her time for follow up sessions. My family and I cannot recommend her enough!

Our 90lb 1 yr German shepherd was paired with Makaela at K9aholics as well as did training with their other staff for the 2 week board and train. He had a tummy ache a few days in and they were very communicative about his symptoms and plan of action to help him feel better. They were all so friendly and I could tell Our dog Oakley was really taken care of! Highly recommend!!!

The K9aholics team is fantastic! I brought my 2 dogs to the day training and they learned so much. The team had great communication and were all very friendly.
We have been doing extended at home training and I can’t recommend Haleigh enough. She’s not only amazing with the dogs, but also wonderful with owners. She’s friendly, approachable, and truly invested in your success. She checks in regularly, makes sure you stay accountable, and explains the “why” behind everything so you feel confident continuing the training on your own.
The continued progress we’ve seen has been great, and it’s clear Haleigh genuinely cares about both the dogs and their families. If you’re looking someone who truly understands dog behavior and delivers real results, she’s the one.

Churro did amazing with his board and training here! Never knew he could listen so well 🤣 the communication between the trainers and I during churro’s stay gave me comfort knowing he was in good hands. The progress updates let me know how much he was learning and how well he was doing each week.

We did the board and train for 2 weeks with our 10 month golden retriever puppy and the results were amazing! She’s very hyper and had little training before. Afterwards, she is doing great! She is 100 times more behaved on leash and in house. The staff was very responsive and friendly, I definitely recommend!
