Is Your Dog Struggling with Leash Reactivity?
Is Your Dog Struggling with Leash Reactivity?
Leash reactivity happens when your dog reacts to outward stimuli like other dogs, cats, skateboards—basically, anything that catches their attention. This could mean barking, lunging, growling, or even an overly excited doodle pulling you all over the place!
If this sounds familiar, we’ve got you covered. 🐾
Join Koru K9 co-founders, Bridget and Ray, alongside expert Bay Area trainer Jeremy, as they break it all down for you in our latest YouTube episode. Whether you’re curious about why this happens or looking for real solutions, this is one conversation you won’t want to miss!

Did you know that one of the ways to show your dog how valuable you are is through existential feeding? 🤔
Here’s the trick: Instead of just pouring their meal into a bowl, turn those daily meals into an opportunity to strengthen your connection. Grab a treat bag, fill it with their food, and use it during training sessions. Every bite becomes a reward for good behavior, making YOU the source of all the good things in their world. 🐶✨
But that’s not all! There are so many ways to teach your dog that you’re their favorite thing:
* Food 🥩
* Toys 🎾
* Affection ❤️
* Access to places they love 🌳
You have all the tools to build your dog's trust—let us show you how to use them! 🐶✨ We're here to guide you every step of the way. https://hubs.la/Q037Ryql0

🐶 Are You Speaking Your Dog’s Language? 🐶
Did you know that communication with your dog isn’t just about talking—it’s about making sure they understand you?
You might say “No” or “Come” all the time, but unless your dog has been trained to recognize those words, they’re probably just confused. Imagine someone speaking to you in a language you don’t understand—frustrating, right? That’s exactly how your dog feels without clear communication!
Remember, dogs do not understand language. Dogs thrive when we communicate clearly, consistently and effectively, and that’s where Koru K9 comes in!

Ray and Bridget team up with Seattle-based dog trainer Ashley Nunez for a must-listen discussion on navigating the tricky relationship of dogs, babies, and kids.
Ray and Bridget team up with Seattle-based dog trainer Ashley Nunez for a must-listen discussion on navigating the tricky relationship of dogs, babies, and kids. From prepping your dog for a new family member to avoiding common mistakes, here’s a sneak peek at what they cover:
1. Thinking About Starting a Family? Start Training Now
Even if your dog isn’t a troublemaker, early training is key. Teaching boundaries and building routines before a baby arrives makes the transition smoother for everyone—especially your dog.
2. The Tough Truth: Dogs & Babies Don't Need to Interact
We get it—those baby-and-dog moments seem adorable! But safety comes first. Even with supervision, accidents happen in a blink. Here’s why:
Dogs may see a baby as a toy or prey, especially when the baby starts moving.
Babies are unpredictable—loud cries and sudden movements can spook even the calmest dog.

Just like us, dogs can experience anxiety too. And just like how health professionals often recommend lifestyle and diet changes for us, the same applies to our furry friends! 🐾
Just like us, dogs can experience anxiety too. And just like how health professionals often recommend lifestyle and diet changes for us, the same applies to our furry friends! 🐾
If your pup is showing signs of anxiety, the first step is to focus on mental and physical stimulation. A more engaged dog is often a happier, calmer dog. 💡
At Koru K9 Dog Training, we always start with training to assess your dog’s needs. Training lays the foundation to better understand their behavior—and often, it’s all they need to thrive! In rare cases, medication might be necessary, but that’s not where we begin.
Let’s work together to help your dog feel calm, happy, and balanced.

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.

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 experien

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. 💪
