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.

Wonderful experience. Exceptionally communicative throughout the training, before during and after. Highly recommend. Micah was terrific about explaining the process and coordinating the training, kept in daily comms with us throughout sending picture and movie updates, and bringing our dog back to our home to go over all the recommendations and suggestions on how to have continued success. Just exceptional all the way around.

We had an amazing experience working with Megan at Kodiak K9 for our dachshund puppy, Jub Jub. In a short amount of time, she helped him completely stop his chewing habits, master basic commands, and learn how to play much more gently with our other dogs. One of the biggest transformations has been his leash manners—he now walks calmly and confidently, making daily walks so much more enjoyable. Megan’s approach was patient, effective, and clearly tailored to Jub Jub’s personality. We couldn’t be happier with the progress he’s made and would highly recommend her and Kodiak K9 to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring trainer. Thank you Megan!

We had a great experience with Micah! We did a two week live-in training for our five year old, 100lb. Bernedoodle and the results are fantastic so far. We received daily updates throughout and at the end Micah spent time with us going over everything we need to keep Henry on the right track. Would highly recommend.

We had an incredible experience with Kodiak K9. Starting with Corey (owner) when our puppy was 8 weeks old and we were panicked new-puppy-owners having no clue what we were doing all the way to Vann (trainer) who took our now 9 month puppy in for a 2 week board and train — we can’t speak highly enough!
Corey has always (even when our puppy was too young for a training program) been extremely helpful offering training tips and guidance. He matched us with Vann, who did an outstanding job training. Our puppy has so much more confidence and understanding of boundaries. Vann sent constant updates, pictures, videos — and when it came time for drop off, he spent over an hour demonstrating our puppy’s new skills both in our home and out in the neighborhood around real stimuli.
We are SO grateful and happy with this training program!
