Learn MoreWe offer private in-home dog training, as well as board and train and hybrid programs for behavior modification and rehabilitation in real-world settings. Our programs are tailored to the individual dog and all behavioral issues. Any dog. Any breed. Any problem.
For owners who want to be fully immersed in the process and those whose dogs have lower-level behaviors and/or obedience issues, we teach you how to be a better handler for your dog by training you and your dog in your home and providing you.
Our trainers train your dog in their homes and real-world locations. This is a true “reset” and an excellent option for clients with less time to commit to a behavior modification training program or have a dog(s) with moderate to severe behaviors.
The best of both worlds! With a combination of both our In-Home and Board & Train programs, this fits any training goal or behavior with a foundational reset, then in-home sessions to incorporate what we have taught your dog into your life.

Our dog Molly, an English springer spaniel, recently returned from a 3-week board and train with Sparky Davis and Koru K9. She is a different dog! Before she left, she pulled at the leash, charged at cars, and barked at people and other dogs. My mom, who is in her 70s, couldn’t walk her, and she pulled the leash out of the hands of my 9-year-old daughter and ran down the street. She is very well mannered now – she heels (absolutely no pulling at the leash or charging at cars), sits, stays in the down position, returns at the come command, and rarely barks. She will even sit in place on her dog bed while I wash dishes in the kitchen. And no more jumping on counters or on people. She was a nervous scaredy cat in new situations and now she is more confident because she knows what her job is. Sparky took great care of her while she was away. She was bathed regularly, well fed, and he even remembered to administer her flea medication. Sparky was communicative, sending us regular emails and texts with photos and videos, and helped us apply the training once she returned home. We are thrilled with the training and care our dog received with Sparky and would recommend him to anyone.
I am SO happy we invested in Koru K9. We got matched with Natalie and Lee as our trainers and they have been INCREDIBLE. Our Pitsky was having so many behavior issues and he came back with so many new skills. They set such a strong foundation with him for us to continue and the changes have been so relieving. Even after his board & train they continue to be there for us with any questions & we are so grateful!
I can’t recommend Halley A. enough! I worked with Halley many years ago before Koru and was so excited to cross paths again. Walks used to be stressful, with constant pulling and lack of focus—but now, our dogs are walking calmly by our side and actually engaging with us. She is professional- on time, great communicator, and has high availability for our schedule.
Halley didn’t just train our dogs—she taught my husband and I how to step into a confident leadership role in a kind, respectful way. Their clear guidance and supportive approach made everything feel doable, even when we were feeling overwhelmed. We saw real results after just a few sessions.
If you’re looking for a trainer who understands both dogs and people, and can help build calm, confident behavior on walks and at home, look no further. Truly a game-changer!
