Thinking about adding another dog to your family? Let's make sure your current dog is prepared for this exciting change!

Before introducing a new dog into your home, it’s crucial to ensure that your existing dog is on the right track with their training. A well-trained dog not only adjusts better to changes but also helps in making the transition smoother for everyone involved. It is important to understand that adding a new dog into your home will not "fix" your existing dog's behavior. In fact, it may very well exacerbate the issues.

So, are you ready to make your pack the best it can be? Let’s ensure your current dog is set for success before bringing home a new buddy.

Please join us in welcoming the newest member of the Koru K9 team, Keith Olsen! 🐾

Keith is an exceptional dog trainer who will be one of our Team Seattle Board and Train trainers. We’re thrilled to have him as a part of our pack, and can’t wait for you to experience the incredible work he’s doing with dogs in the area!

Keith is a dedicated canine trainer and enthusiast with a diverse background. Growing up in Washington surrounded by dogs, he developed a passion for animal companionship early in life. After serving eight years in the Navy, stationed in Hawaii, Keith and his wife welcomed their first dog, a Chihuahua mix, into their family.

Upon returning to Washington, he transitioned to a career driving armored vehicles while pursuing his education in HVAC/R. During his eight years in the trade, Keith adopted a Malinois puppy and recognized the importance of proper training. He sought out online resources and engaged with a local trainer, where his exceptional bond with his dog was noticed, leading to a job offer.

Keith further honed his dog training skills by completing a six-month master trainer course at Tarheel K9. He is currently an active member of a local IGP and American Schutzhund club, training two of his dogs for competition, and continues to share his passion for canine training with the community.

Ever wondered why our training programs at Koru K9 are structured for a minimum of three weeks, and not less?

At Koru K9, we believe in establishing a strong and trustworthy relationship between our dog trainers and your dog. Mutual trust and respect are foundational for effective training, and these bonds do not happen overnight. It can take a week or more just for a dog to trust their trainer, and only from this point can the real training begin.

We don’t believe in shortcuts when it comes to dog training. Like building a house - training your dog starts with a solid foundation. Our commitment is to ensure that your dog receives the best care and training, setting them up for a lifetime of good behavior and companionship.

Are you tired of dealing with a pup that pulls on the leash, lunges, or shows signs of fear or aggression? Let’s turn those stressful walks into relaxing strolls!

Trainer Kenneth in Florida made remarkable progress with a board and train pup, alongside his personal dog working on Neutrality Training. They are the perfect examples of how effective resetting the hierarchy in your home can be. Under Kenneth's guidance, dogs learn to stay calm and look to their owners for direction instead of reacting impulsively.

Notice how both dogs, despite their instincts, remain composed and attentive to Kenneth. They aren’t just trained; they're transformed.

Transform your relationship with your dog and enjoy peace of mind today!

We are thrilled to introduce you to an integral part of our Koru K9 family, Trainer Natalie Lane, shining bright in Oregon! 🌲🐕

Alongside her talented partner Lee, Natalie excels in transforming canine lives through our In-Home and Board and Train programs. Their dedication is unmatched and their results speak volumes!

A little bit about Natalie and Lee Lane -
'Natalie and Lee Lane, a husband-and-wife team on the Oregon Coast. Originally a Northern California native, Natalie interned and eventually worked for a dog training facility in Chico as the Training Center Coordinator. In 2005, Natalie earned her certification as a Registered Veterinary Assistant. In 2011, she graduated from Sierra Nevada University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and a minor in Psychology. Her professional animal training career has included working with everything from tigers to tortoises, but dogs have always played a pivotal role in her life. Lee was born and raised in Northern Idaho and his family always had extra-large dogs such as St. Bernard’s and Brasileiro Filas. Lee pursued a career as a heavy-equipment mechanic, but a dog named Jack jump-started his venture into dog training. Through their experience training Jack, both Natalie and Lee acquired a devoted passion for Balanced Dog Training and the high quality of life it can bring even the most reactive dog. In 2016, Natalie and Lee began working as Dog Trainers for GET RATTLED which conducts rattlesnake, porcupine, and skunk aversion training clinics for dogs all over the country. Jack has since passed, but his legacy lives on in the work Natalie and Lee now do together. They both work for Koru, offering in-home and Board and Train for people looking to bring out the best in their dog. Natalie and Lee, their American Bully Valkyrie, cat, chickens, ducks, horses, goats, reptiles and 2 pet skunks live on the Oregon Coast in Lincoln County. They are thrilled to be able to represent Koru K9 and bring their experience to the area.'

Bay Area dog trainer Jenn is introducing one of her Board and Train pups to the E-Collar!

A quality E-Collar offers up to 100 levels of stimulation. The trainer starts at zero and gradually increases until they find the dog’s “working level,” which is the point where the dog shows a small, involuntary muscle reflex (like a knee-jerk). Once that level is found, the E-Collar becomes a powerful tool to reinforce positive behavior! 🔄

When introduced correctly and used with care, E-Collars can be a game-changer in a dog’s training journey. 💪

Interested in how E-Collars work?

Did you know your dog's nose holds the key to their happiness and mental energy?

Dogs have a massive part of their brain dedicated to scent detection, much larger than ours, which means they can enjoy and benefit immensely from smell-oriented activities!

Here’s a simple but fantastic way to keep your furry friend mentally stimulated:

* Hide treats or toys around your house
* Engage in find-the-owner’s-scent games
* Try scatter feeding or use a ball pit for meals

These activities are not just fun; they tap into your dog's natural abilities and provide great mental workouts.
