My dog Nala is a 2 y/o sweet husky mix. She has a lot of anxiety which turned into obsessive behaviors including barking, panting and guarding. She was always distracted and not easy to engage in obedience training. I have tried lots of collars and leashes. I even tried anti-anxiety meds from the vet and CBD. None of which worked and in my opinion just intensified her issues. I had to always be on alert to be sure she didn’t get out of the house or she would work herself into a frenzy barking and running in circles around the house. Her anxiety wasn’t just in the yard. She was not a good passenger in the car and unpredictable at the trail for walks. It was hard to watch her reach that level anxiety and feel powerless to help her. I decided to interview trainers to try a stay and train. Corey was responsive, knowledgeable and confident he could help her. Nala stayed for 2 weeks. I wish we had tried this sooner. She uses the place command and our meal time is much improved. She no longer guards the kitchen from our other dog. Walks in the neighborhood are more enjoyable because she stays at my side. With Corey’s coaching, I feel more confident in my ability to manage her on a leash so have taken her to places including dinner. Car rides are also better. She gets excited at first but with a verbal correction, she has been able to settle and lay down on the seat. We have a follow up session to work on her barking in the yard with the use of a new collar. I appreciate his expertise and helping Nala with her anxiety.

We adopted a 2 yr old husky lab mix named Jude. He is a sweet boy but has never been in a family before. Due to his size and spirit we were completely unable to gain any control of him. He jumped and took food out of our hands. He knocked us over, backed out of his leash and ran off in a parking lot and constantly went to the bathroom in the house. We were at our wits end. Modern k9 has literally saved our lives and sanity. After 2 weeks of board and train our lives are significantly improved. Using what we learned from Corey and implementing it in our home has changed our relationship with Jude. We are now able to eat dinner and have Jude sit patiently by. Walking him has become a pleasure, and I am finally able to take him hiking. He is now house trained and we are really enjoying having him as a well behaved family member. We can not thank Corey and Modern k9 enough. I would recommend their services to everyone.

Our Phoebe was a rescue as a puppy and it became apparent she required some behavioral guidance. We were referred by a family friend who has had not one but two great outcomes with Modern K9. We missed her during the immersion training but when we picked her up it was worth it. Her behavior had been rerouted and we received detailed instruction on how to continue working with her at home. It’s been a week since we brought her home and already I have expanded her training and continue to work with her. Definitely have better tools now for her to have a structured happy life!

Corey is great! He helped us with our 10 month old energetic puppy. The two week break itself is worth the money haha. Corey is great with responding to questions and inquiries you have while he’s training your dog. This is a great investment and if you stick with the program that Corey puts in place for your dog, your life will be much less stressful.

Words cannot describe how grateful we are for Corey and The Modern K9 dog training! Our Lola has deep rooted issues (fear, lack of confidence, uncertainty around new people and reactivity to other dogs) that led to an unfortunate, traumatic event involving our other dog and myself. Being life-long dog owners, we thought we could figure it out on our own, but truly wish we had contacted the Modern K9 sooner! After a 3-week board and train, Lola is a totally different dog! Corey not only worked extensively with Lola during her board and train, but most importantly gave us the tools and structure to work with Lola once she returned home to continue improving her leash behavior, reactivity to other dogs and build her confidence. Corey trained us (the owners) to set Lola up for success. Corey was very responsive and kept us apprised to her progress throughout her stay. I feel that his prices are reasonable and he will customize your program based on the needs of the dog and the owner. If your dog has major issues (like Lola) or simply needs some obedience basics, contact the Modern K9! You won't be disappointed.
