Trainer Tuesday- Trey LaCour
A little more about Trey:
'Trey grew up in a small rural town but that never stopped him from seeking a new adventure.
After realizing college wasn’t right for him his research into the dog training world began. Trey then attended the Fall 2019 Immersion Program at The Michael Ellis School for dog trainers with his American Bully, Shark, who had become reactive to most dogs and cats. It was there Trey learned to help his dogs live a more fulfilling life using a reliable communication method through balanced dog training.
Trey hopes to compete in bitesports one day and learn the art of decoying.'

Damian Short Duration Training Programs & Why They Aren't Great
One of the most common mistakes we see dog owners make is falling for the allure of the short duration training program. Promises and guarantees of 100% obedience in 2-weeks! It sounds amazing! But like everything in life...if it sounds too good to be true, it likely is. Listen as Damian and Bridget discuss why 2-week Board & Train programs aren't something we recommend, and why Koru K9 does not offer them. The answer might surprise you 😬 #dogtraining #dogtrainer #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #positivereinforcementdogtraining #positivedogtraining #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainingtips #dogsofinstagram
Why Dogs Need Strong Leadership
It’s Not Your Dog…It’s You
Could you be causing your dog’s behavior problems? I’m sorry to tell you - it’s highly likely things that you are doing are either causing, or adding to your dog’s unwanted or unsafe behaviors. Listen as Damian discusses why dogs need strong leadership (and why leadership is NOT being the alpha). ��Don’t miss this amazing episode of Koru K9’s Trainer Talk - comment ITS ME below to get the link sent to you.

'My name is Halle Tennison. I have been working with animals my whole life. I personally have rescued and rehabilitated two adult huskies and an adult pit bull.

I have successfully passed the Animal Behavior College of Santa Clarita’s internship and hands on externship program of positive reinforcement training. I am certified in Animal CPR and have worked with the Humane Society of Silicon Valley as an assistant for over half a year.

On this special Trainer Tuesday, we're beyond thrilled to shine the spotlight on one of our most dedicated and passionate trainers—Katy Abraham from Texas! 🐾
On this special Trainer Tuesday, we're beyond thrilled to shine the spotlight on one of our most dedicated and passionate trainers—Katy Abraham from Texas! 🐾
Katy is a magical blend of expertise, compassion, and commitment. Her dedication to guiding both our clients and their furry companions on their training journeys is truly inspiring.
A little bit about Katy -
'Ever since I was little I knew I would always be working with dogs, I grew up volunteering in shelters and worked as a veterinarian technician during and after college. Once I got my high drive Belgian Malinois, Church, I knew I had to get him into an activity that would fulfill his genetic needs. Together we became a certified explosive detection K9 team and have worked all over the country. I have trained many law enforcement dogs and independent teams in obedience and detection work. I now live with my two working dogs, a Malinois and a Working line Cocker Spaniel, and a pet pit bull.
My favorite part about dog training is seeing an anxious dog come out of its shell and gain the confidence it needs to live a happy and fulfilled life with its family, as well as teaching the owners how to better communicate with their pet. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new places and going on hikes with my pups.'
