Serving: the entire Bay Area: San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano & Sonoma Counties. And all of Northern California.
For dogs with big behaviors, and families who won’t give up.
Reactivity. Fear. Aggression. Obedience Issues. It might feel overwhelming, but the right dog training can change everything.
Rebuild trust. Create structure. Enjoy life with your dog again.
You’ve tried everything. The reward systems, the group classes, the boot camps.
But your dog is still pulling, ignoring commands, reacting on walks, jumping on guests, or making everyday life feel harder than it should.
That doesn’t mean your dog is broken. It just means you need a different approach.
Our program is different by design: slower, deeper, and built for real life.
Your dog lives and trains in a home setting with our highly experienced trainers who work with only a few dogs at a time. That means more structure, more consistency, more loving care, and more individual attention throughout the program.
Your trainer will address your dog’s problem behaviors while building the skills they need at home and in the real world — including crate training, leash manners, calm greetings, meal-time etiquette, place command, and everyday obedience.
Your trainer will address all problem behaviors and build essential skills, from crate and leash training to meal time etiquette.
Our Board & Train Programs provide:
Whether your dog needs better manners, more structure, or help with bigger behavior issues, you’re in the right place.
Koru K9 has helped thousands of San Francisco Bay Area dog owners bring peace, structure, and joy back into their homes. If your dog’s behavior is affecting your life, we can help you transform your dog & your life.
Training doesn’t end when the appointment does—and neither does your support. Every Koru K9 Board & Train program comes with 12 months FREE LunaDogAI, our trainer-built digital guidance system. You’ll have access to step-by-step help, video feedback, and real-time answers during the moments when behavior actually happens at home.
It’s like having your trainer in your pocket—so progress doesn’t stall, confusion doesn’t spiral into setbacks, and your investment is protected long after the final session.
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:
This means we:
The result is lasting behavior change rooted in connection, consistency, and communication your dog can trust and understand.
