Training built around you and your dog.
Build reliability. Create freedom.
At MLK9, we help you understand your dog and communicate with clarity. We start with the relationship, teach practical skills, and build reliability in the real-world places you want to go together.
From puppy training and high-energy dogs to leash reactivity, recall, and off-leash skills, we build the control that makes more adventures possible. Every dog starts with an individual conversation about your goals.
Choose private coaching, focused Day Training, or hands-on Handler School. We’ll help you find the right starting point for your dog.
Private Coaching Deep Dive
$500
Your starting point.
A 2–4 hour private coaching session built around you and your dog. We'll evaluate where you are, identify what's missing, establish clear communication, and begin building the skills you need to move forward.
No contract. No required package. Tools not included.
Day Training
ONE WEEK — $1,500 | TWO WEEKS — $2,500
Training that fits your real life.
I pick up your dog at your home in the morning, spend the day training in real-world environments, and drop your dog back off in the evening. We work on leash skills, engagement, impulse control, public neutrality, and the behaviors that matter most to you.
One week is a focused jump-start for specific goals. Two weeks gives us more time to build the skills and practice them around real-world distractions. Both options include a handler session so you can carry the work forward together.
MLK9 Handler School
PRIVATE THREE-DAY HANDLER SCHOOL — $2,000
FIVE-DAY TRAINER SHADOW — $3,500
Learn to train the dog in front of you.
This private, hands-on school takes you into real training days with me.
For dog owners: Spend three days working with your own dog. When suitable dogs are available, you can also help train other dogs under my guidance. That experience sharpens your timing and handling, and helps you bring new skills home.
For aspiring and working trainers: Spend five days shadowing client sessions, outings, and training days. You’ll observe, ask questions, work appropriate dogs under supervision, and learn how I build and adjust each training plan.
Tell me about your dog, experience, and goals. We’ll shape the school around what you want to learn.
Online Coaching
Coming January 2027
Personalized owner coaching, wherever you’re located. I’m developing an eight-week program with practical training assignments, video feedback, and accountability to help you build a stronger relationship and more reliable everyday skills with your dog.
