What people have asked about this business.

What can I do to stop my dog from barking in my apartment when I leave for anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours? Have now gotten 2 complaints from other residents. Thanks.

You will need in home training, this will be the most effective method

We recently moved to St Paul and our small dog barks excessively when we leave. Have tried calming chews and today Gabapentin. We stayed away for 30 min and she was barking when we got back.

Hi Steve, I'd recommend scheduling an In-Home Training session to work on that behavior. Here is a link with info on the program and our sign up form: https://thek9coach.com/services.php Have a great day, Jess

Do your trainers have experience with high drive, herding breeds?

We sure do! It's the personal dog of choice for many of our trainers!

Hey Shelly. You might want to reach out to Canine Coach at their email address on their website if you need help. Sounds like you're trying a decent solution. Maybe try to limit afternoon naps?

I have a 70 pound boxer mix, high energy that needs some one on one training. 7 1/2 years old. Is this something that you might do?

5/5

We love the Canine Coach! Their Fit Dog program has been a lifesaver! Our dog Emmitt loves to go to his day program and is exhausted after each day. The staff are so kind, caring, and willing to explain what your pup did that day. We have tried other types of programs and this is by far the best.

All of the trainers at the Canine Coach are super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Their classes are punctual, each dog gets individual attention, and the classes are full of great activities!

The instructor really knows her dogs! Excellent puppy trainer.

5/5

Highly recommend to anyone looking for dog training! We’ve taken several classes and have seen so much improvement from our rescue dog. Definite focus on positive reinforcement, relationship building, and meeting your dog where they’re at. We especially recommend Coach Nick - he was always happy to help us adapt the training based on our dog’s specific challenges.
