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?

My dog, Teddy, and I have been through 4 classes at Canine Coach. We’ve worked with some great instructors. Teddy is on his way to becoming a therapy dog because of what we have learned.

We’re so glad we found Canine Coach! Between our two puppies, we’ve taken about six classes over the last seven months, and each one has been a delight. It’s often a highlight of the week for both us and our dogs. The locations are convenient, the prices are very reasonable, and the class selection is excellent. Class sizes are small enough to still feel personal, with individualized pointers and support. Every trainer we’ve worked with has been knowledgeable, helpful, and encouraging without being too intense or judgmental. With so many locations and trainers, it’s also been really easy to find classes and make-up classes that work with our schedule. Lacey has been especially fantastic. She really meets both dogs and humans where they’re at and makes training feel approachable, practical, and fun. The Foundations classes gave us such a strong base to build on, and we’ve also really enjoyed Tricks and now Sports Sampler. We’ve honestly learned more in the last seven months than we did in 12 years with our previous dogs. Our puppies genuinely love going to class, and I’ve learned so much about how to communicate more clearly and effectively with them. Canine Coach has absolutely been worth every penny, and we’d recommend them in a heartbeat.

Love Canine coach!! I took obedience levels 1 and 1.5 for my black lab. Super helpful. The instructor was great: knowledgeable and entertaining—enough that even during a snowstorm we didn’t want to miss class. I got way more out of the classes than I expected.
