  • D.C. & Northern Virginia: Dog Training

More than just dog training—it’s the start of a better life for you and your dog.

Whether you’re dealing with aggression, reactivity, fear, anxiety, or just need help with puppy or obedience training, Koru K9 provides professional dog training that delivers real results—at home and in the real world.

You’ve tried it all. Group dog training classes, positive-only methods, boot camps that promise quick fixes. But your dog is still out of control—and your home still feels like a battlefield.

That doesn’t mean your dog can’t be helped. It just means you need a different kind of dog training.

At Koru K9, we specialize in personalized dog training programs designed for lasting transformation. Our training builds trust, structure, and clarity—for both you and your dog.

Our certified dog trainers work with you one-on-one to stop unwanted behaviors and teach essential skills like crate training, loose-leash walking, calm greetings, and structured routines.

Why Our Dog Training Programs Work:

  • Experienced Dog Trainers for Serious Issues: We address everything from basic obedience to leash reactivity and aggression.

  • Customized Dog Training Plans: Every dog is different. We tailor our approach to your dog’s needs and your lifestyle.

  • Balanced, Real-World Methods: We combine structure, accountability, and relationship-based training to deliver reliable results.

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

Our dog training programs are slower by design, deeper in impact, and focused on helping dogs and owners succeed together—no matter what you’ve tried before.

We’ve helped thousands of families restore peace, structure, and joy to their homes through expert dog training. Let us help you do the same.

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.
