What sets us apart..
Our expert coaching services are designed to empower you with the skills and knowledge needed to build a stronger, trusting bond with your dog. Our personalized dog training programs go beyond behavior correction—they help you develop the confidence to lead, communicate, and manage your dog in any situation.
Set in the tranquil mountains, our unique board-and-train program provides a stress-free environment where dogs can reset, learn, and grow. A key part of this process is Natalia’s pack—a balanced group of dogs that play an essential role in rehabilitation, teaching, and guiding others through social and behavioral learning. By immersing dogs in a calm, structured setting and using positive reinforcement, relationship-building, and expert coaching, we help them develop the skills needed for lasting success.
With 1800K9Coach, you’ll receive hands-on coaching, practical tools, and continuous support to ensure both you and your dog thrive. Whether you're working through behavior challenges or simply want a better relationship, we’re here to coach you through it all.
