What people have asked about this business.

What can I do to stop my dog from barking in my apartment when I leave for anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours? Have now gotten 2 complaints from other residents. Thanks.

You will need in home training, this will be the most effective method

We recently moved to St Paul and our small dog barks excessively when we leave. Have tried calming chews and today Gabapentin. We stayed away for 30 min and she was barking when we got back.

Hi Steve, I'd recommend scheduling an In-Home Training session to work on that behavior. Here is a link with info on the program and our sign up form: https://thek9coach.com/services.php Have a great day, Jess

Do your trainers have experience with high drive, herding breeds?

We sure do! It's the personal dog of choice for many of our trainers!

Hey Shelly. You might want to reach out to Canine Coach at their email address on their website if you need help. Sounds like you're trying a decent solution. Maybe try to limit afternoon naps?

I have a 70 pound boxer mix, high energy that needs some one on one training. 7 1/2 years old. Is this something that you might do?

Elias is such a thoughtful and insightful trainer. We did in home and puppy agility. It really got us started right with our new family member.

We sent Ruger there for training due to some behavior issues. We were initially pleased. We recently sent him back for a short boarding and some refresher training. Never again! We sent him with 45 cups of food, if they had fed him according to our instructions there would have been 8 cups left. They brought him back with 37 cups of food. His weight is down, clumps of hair coming off him. Hes on a special diet due to EPI, so he either didn't eat or they fed him food he can't have. They knew about his health issues. They also gave him a bath, didn't even rinse the soap out, so he was scratching like crazy from his skin being irritated by the soap. Be very careful using their services

I’ve taken puppy and obedience classes here with 4 different dogs. Now our youngest is doing FIT dogs class. I’ve never had a bad experience. The FIT dogs class is really the star though- my 8 month old Lab LOVES it and I love the help running through his endless energy! He has learned the word “class” and goes bananas when it’s time to go. Waits by the door hopefully on other days hoping I’ll take him. Bonus- his obedience skills are improving. One day I dropped off a naughty leash puller who almost drug me down the stairs and that afternoon picked up a gentleman who would never pull on a leash. That was a month ago and he has remained a good leash walker. Not sure what they are doing, but it’s working! It does take some planning ahead to get in- they book out about a month for FIT dogs.

We've been training with Canine Coach for about six months, and this is our favorite facility we've been to so far!
