Method K9, LLC

I attended Method K9’s train the trainer 1.0 program, and it was an incredible experience. It was my first seminar I’ve ever attended and I was definitely out of my comfort zone. But Stephanie and Hope were so kind and welcoming. Stephanie’s processes for rehabilitation and understanding of dogs is inspiring. She is loaded with knowledge and I am so happy I had to opportunity to learn from her! If you are a trainer or an owner who needs help or wants to learn, I highly recommend going through Method K9 and trying their many services. It was an experience I’ll never forget and I look forward to attending the train the trainer 2.0 program

What can you say about a team that does it right? Let me tell you. 1) Practical : anyone and everyone (old, young, country setting, 12th story apartment, wheelchair bound, blind, man, woman, child, 1st dog, 12th dog, etc) can do this. 2) Simple : Do not complicate this. It is not complicated. 3) FAIR, FUN, FIRM : Everything Stephanie and her team teaches is based on basic canine psychology. Dogs are dogs, treat them like dogs. If you learn to communicate in a way they understand, you will change your life and your dog’s life. You communicate with your dog in your home all of the time. From the time that you get up in the morning to the time that you go to bed at night. If you have any interaction with your dog, you are in essence training it. Stephanie and her team teach you how to make sure those interactions are clear to your canine companion. Every interaction is an opportunity to communicate with your dog. Stop missing those opportunities.

Method k9 Seminar in New Hampshire with Stefanie and Hope was one of the best seminars I’ve been to. They explained everything down to the how and why’s And made it simple enough for the average person to comprehend. For me as a trainer, a lot of a-ha moments of things that I’m doing, but giving it a better understanding of why it is important to continue doing what I’m doing. And added so much more!! Everything taught was shown real time with dogs that had some big issues. I look forward to continuing to learn from them and would highly recommend any regular dog owner and dog trainers to attend Any seminar they have

I began my career in 2018 by dog sitting out of my home, it didn't take me long to decide I wanted to do more. In 2019 I start my pup care business A Place FUR pups, providing a home away from home atmosphere. I also worked at a dental office and during the pandemic we were shut down, so I began watching more dogs during the day. I decide that I was ready to go part time and add doggie daycare to list of pup care services. I was watching between 3 and 5 dogs 3 days a week while continuing to work at the dentist office. As time went on I knew I needed more space so we added a room onto our home for doggie daycare and boarding (extended stays as I liked to call it.) I was providing an all off leash service unless dogs were crated for sleeping or when humans were away. I provided toddler beds for napping during daycare and sleeping for extended stays. As time went on I knew I wanted more, to provide training services. I began watching different dog trainer videos, online dog seminars, and went on a boarding expo in PA. Shortly after the expo I came across Method K9 and began watching Stephanie 2 years ago, I knew she was the trainer I could most relate too. Her methods and behavior based way of training made the most sense. I was looking forward to making my way to Idaho for her train the trainer 1.0 when life had other plans. My husband who recently died in December of 2023 never gave up on me and wouldn't allow me to give up on myself. He is the reason I am blessed to have my small business. Although things have certainly changed and business is taking a different direction I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for his encouragement. With that being said I was thrilled when Stephanie announced traveling seminars! I prayed she would bring her knowledge to the east coast. New Hampshire is where she decided to bring Method K9 and I was hesitate but knew after talking with a good friend that this would be a great opportunity to see Stephanie in person before investing any further. I am grateful my friend encouraged me to sign up and invest in myself. The 2 day seminar was amazing! Stephanie, and Hope shared so much information with us it was worth the travel, time and money to spend the weekend with them. Karrie is amazing as well she provided the handouts needed and organizing of the schedule to help keep things on track so Stephanie could give us as much information as possible in 2 short days. Karrie also took videos and pictures during those 2 days. I met a new community of people durong those 2 days. I am excited for my future career as a dog trainer and being able to study more under Merhod K9! Thank you Stephanie and the Method K9 Team for coming to New Hampshire!
