If you’ve been searching for a dog behaviorist in Seattle or a dog trainer for anxiety near you, you’re in the right place.
A calmer, more confident dog is closer than you think.
Training doesn’t end when the appointment does—and neither does your support. Every Koru K9 program includes 1–12 months of 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.
We take a safety-first, comprehensive approach to dog anxiety training.
Koru K9 often works alongside your veterinarian to support a complete behavior plan. While we do not prescribe or manage medication, our training focuses on building real-world skills and emotional stability.

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