Personalized Dog Training
What exactly do we mean?
No matter what you are looking for, we can help. Anything from basic social skills, advanced aggression rehabilitation, reactivity, behavioral modification to relationship improvement- and anything in between!
We do not believe in a one size fits all model of training. Our work together will range from weekly classes with homework for you and your dog to extensive rehabilitation programs. We take a big picture approach when we evaluate your dog then, we will build you a program that fully fits your goals and that will help you build your relationship.
Through Family Dog Mediation we take a step beyond just stopping behaviors. We look at and address the “why” before the “how.”
What can we help you with?
Leash reactivity, Inner home aggression (dogs fighting in the home) Dog and Human aggression, Resource guarding, Boundary training, Poor recall and more! But, most importantly, we are here to help you have a better relationship with your dog!
How do we achieve results?
Using a balanced approach we use positive reinforcements (treats, toys, praise, affection) to achieve the behaviors we want. For the behaviors we don’t want we use negative reinforcement and corrections in a manner that is fair to the dog. We set them up to learn in a way they understand so they can become the best versions of themselves. For our off leash training we use ecollars to communicate with our dogs at a distance ensuring they always understand what our expectations are.
We train every dog differently. We will meet to talk about why your dog does what they do and how their unique needs affect their behaviors. Then we create a plan tailored to you and your family to set you up for success. Most importantly, we offer ongoing support for as long as you need!
What does it mean to be a part of our Kinfolk family?

The most rewarding part of our work is being able to watch our clients and their relationships with their dogs grow! Check out our testimonials to see what our current Kinfolk has to say about that!
