Chester’s Transformation: From Fearful and Reactive to Calm and Confident

Just two short months ago, Chester’s family reached out to us at Koru K9 for help with his challenging behaviors. Chester was struggling with fear and anxiety, including leash reactivity toward other dogs and unfamiliar people. When left alone, he would often destroy household items or break out of his crate—clear signs of separation anxiety.

We’re proud to say that Chester recently completed his training and graduated with flying colors. His transformation has been incredible, and it’s a testament to the power of the right training, consistency, and a committed family.

From Reactivity to Off-Leash Obedience

Chester participated in one of our customized Board and Train programs. These immersive, real-world programs are designed to help dogs overcome complex behavioral challenges in a structured, home-based training environment. Chester’s training plan included strategies to reduce his anxiety, improve his obedience, and help him build trust with his handlers.

Several weeks ago, we focused on recall training, teaching him to reliably come when called. On his graduation day, Chester was confidently heeling off-leash—calm, engaged, and happily focused on his handler. From a dog who once panicked and pulled on walks, he now moves with purpose and peace.

A True Team Effort

This transformation didn’t happen overnight. Chester’s family worked closely with our trainers throughout the process, learning how to apply structure, leadership, and clear communication at home. These principles are at the core of our balanced dog training philosophy, which helps build a relationship based on mutual trust and respect.

Their dedication to following through with the program was crucial—and it shows in the results.
