About Kodiak K9 Training
Kodiak K9 is a Northern Virginia based dog training company specializing in board and train programs for dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavior levels. Serving the DMV area, we help dog owners build reliable on-leash obedience and a confident off-leash lifestyle. Our balanced, structured training approach focuses on clear communication, consistency, and real-world reliability. Dogs in our board and train programs live in a supervised home environment, allowing us to reinforce good behavior and address unwanted behavior as it happens. As a small, family-run dog training business, we prioritize long-term results over quick fixes and work closely with owners to create lasting change.

Luis has been an amazing trainer for our Belgian Malinois-German Shepherd, Athena! He’s helped her learn important commands like heel, break, sit, down, and place, and he’s given us a ton of guidance on how to work through her issues with other dogs. She’s still a work in progress, but thanks to Luis, we feel much more confident in how to handle and improve her behavior. He’s super knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to answer questions or offer advice when we need it. This whole journey has been so much easier with his help. If you’re looking for a great trainer who truly cares, I can’t recommend Luis enough!
Luis is great! My energetic shepherd now does a great job following commands and frequently gets compliments for his good behavior in stores.
It was excellent working with the team. They did a great job with my Red Heeler, and I love how they stay in touch afterwards to provide tips and help with the transition back home.
