K9 Behavior College

Specialty classes, board & train programs and private sessions. Trainers for Cesar Millan & Pawsitiv

We are a dog rehabilitation team, specializing in aggressive / fearful / anxious dogs. Here at K9 Behavior College we believe that natures way is best and we try to honor dogs for who they are. We practice dog psychology before we teach dog training, which means we believe that the mental state of the dog ultimately controls their behavior. Dogs can be well trained or "good dogs" but still have an

xiety, aggression, insecurity and other unhealthy issues that lead to many "bad behaviors". When your dog trusts you and sees you as a provider and protector, all the unhealthy behaviors fall away. Then training and teaching your dog becomes fun and successful!

Caitlin Lebel and I have been working together for about a year now and I couldn’t ask for a better training partner. 💓🐕 I’m excited to announce that we will be teaching a weekend workshop together in Portland, Maine this August 26 and 27th! This workshop will be very hands-on, covering the essentials of dog training and behavior, as well as building a strong foundation for both dogs owners and dog trainers. Whether you are looking to help your own dog, or expand your knowledge as a dog trainer/professional, this event is for you. You can register here: https://www.canineclubhouseme.com/summer-workshop
We really hope to see you there!

So many have asked how Pep came to be in our lives, so I thought I would tell the story. If you know me, you know I’ve always been happy with two dogs. Plus Sonar and Bear have such a great relationship that I never wanted to mess up that dynamic by bringing in a third. However, Sonar will be 12 this year and has slowed down quite a bit, so in the back of my mind, I knew Bear would probably needed a companion soon. Bear can be picky about who he chooses to be friends with though, so any dog that I kept would be based on his compatibility with them and not really about me.

Right around Thanksgiving I got a call from a really nice man who had found a husky in Oildale about a year ago. She was micro chipped, but the owners refused to claim her. He did not have space or time for a husky but decided to keep her and try to find her a good home. Pep proved to be way more than he could handle! As a young husky she was very spirited 😅 she would steal anything she could find, bullied their senior pug, took off any chance she could get and just generally would choose naughtiness at any opportunity.

She started her three weeks of board & train and once she was here, I saw a dog who was joyful, confident, super social and very sweet. I also saw that my boys had fallen in love with her, and she and Bear became best buddies. We worked on all her specific issues, and by the time she was ready to go home she was basically perfect. No more stealing or running away. She was still very confident with other dogs, but no longer pushy. Her recall was amazing and most importantly, she had learned to be calm. Her owner was super happy with her progress, but mentioned in passing that this would make it easier for him to find her a good home. As we talked, I realized she might be the perfect dog for us—not only did my boys love her, and she fit into our lives seamlessly, but she was also a huge help in the work that I do. Having a joyful, social, confident dog is priceless as a dog trainer and I told him then and there that she could live with us and I would give her the best possible home. He was so happy that he cried, and I knew it was all meant to be!

that one time I walked in my bedroom and found a Hershey bear tucked in my bed with his head on the pillow, like he had always slept like that…🥹💖
