Struggling with your dog’s behavior? Don't give up. Real help starts here.

Your dog’s aggression, reactivity, fear or anxiety shouldn’t define your life.

You’ve tried it all. The reward systems, the group classes, the “quick fix” boot camps—and nothing has worked.

Our program is different by design: slower, deeper, and built for the real world.

We focus on more than just stopping bad behaviors. Our training creates calm, structure, and clarity for both you and your dog—building obedience, confidence, and trust through consistent routines and clear communication.

Your trainer will work with you to resolve problem behaviors while developing essential life skills—from leash walking and crate training to calm greetings and stress-free mealtimes.

At Koru K9, we specialize in real-world behavior change. Sometimes we’re the first call. More often, we’re the last.

Why our training works:

  • Experts in Complex Behaviors: We handle everything from reactivity and anxiety to serious aggression.

  • Tailored Training Plans: Built around your dog’s needs and your lifestyle.

  • Balanced, Relationship-First Methods: Structure, trust, and accountability go hand in hand.

  • Real-World Readiness: We prepare dogs for real-life success—not just commands in a classroom.

Training for Everyday Life: We don’t just teach commands—we train dogs to thrive in the real world.

Built-In Support With LunaDogAI: Every program includes access to LunaDogAI, our trainer-developed digital support system (1–12 months based on program). Get guidance between sessions, upload videos for feedback, and stay consistent when real-life moments happen. It’s like having a trainer in your pocket to protect your investment and keep training on track.

Our behavior training programs are designed to create lasting transformation at a pace that respects your dog’s learning style. We don’t rush results—we build them through clarity, consistency, and connection.

We address the real reasons dogs struggle—fear, anxiety, reactivity, aggression. And help owners build trusting relationships with their dog. 

We’ve helped thousands of dogs and owners rewrite their story. Let us help you write yours.

Koru K9 Dog Training Programs:
Transformation at the Speed of Dog

Ever wonder why quick-turn programs don’t work? It’s because they use forced compliance, creating unreliable behaviors that often lead to regression.

Our programs are different: we build trust, clarity and real-world readiness at a pace that respects your dog’s needs.

We use a balanced, relationship-first approach that blends:

  • Clear communication
  • Structure and accountability
  • The right mix of guidance, reinforcement, and tools

This means we:

  • Identify what your dog finds rewarding and meaningful
  • Establish strong foundational obedience
  • Use appropriate training methods to reinforce behavior in a way that builds trust

The result is lasting behavior change rooted in connection, consistency, and communication your dog can trust and understand.

This is where better behavior begins. Fill out the form to start your dog’s transformation.
