I’m Byron, founder of K9 Training with Byron. With over 15 years of experience in dog behavior and training, I specialize in helping dog owners like you turn daily struggles into lasting success stories—through clear guidance, compassionate leadership, and proven training programs tailored to your dog’s needs.

 

Whether you’re dealing with reactivity, anxiety, leash pulling, or just want a dog who listens and respects boundaries, I’ll meet you where you are and guide you toward the balanced life you’ve been wanting with your dog.

​

My Philosophy: Mindset Over Mechanics

 

Most training focuses on obedience commands—but I go deeper. I work to change your dog’s state of mind, not just their behavior. I help you raise a stable, relaxed, and responsive dog you can trust in any environment—not a robot who only performs when it’s quiet and controlled.

 

My approach blends structure, positive reinforcement, and real-world practice. No one-size-fits-all formulas here—just thoughtful, personalized strategies that bring out the best in your dog and empower you as a confident leader.

​

My Story

​

In 2005, I left a career in corporate America to follow my true calling: helping dogs and their people. I started a dog walking business to better understand canine behavior hands-on, which naturally evolved into professional training. Over the years, I’ve developed a unique philosophy that blends proven methods with instinct, intuition, and deep respect for the dog-human relationship.

​

Programs That Meet You and Your Dog Where You Are:

​

Behavior Modification Program

For dogs struggling with anxiety, aggression, reactivity, or fear-based behaviors. We get to the root of the issue—not just the symptoms—and create meaningful change by reshaping your dog’s emotional responses and decision-making.

 

Home School Program

A hybrid option where I work directly with your dog in your home environment, while also coaching you. Ideal for busy families who want results but can’t commit to daily hands-on training.

 

​Stable Dog Program

Designed for dog owners who want the “go-anywhere, do-anything” companion. We focus on building a reliable dog who is calm, confident, and responsive in a wide range of environments and distractions.

​

Dog Walking Service

More than just a walk—it’s structured, purposeful time that reinforces training principles, keeps your dog mentally engaged, and supports long-term behavior goals.

​

Let’s Get Started

"A language is a tool for survival. Energy is the language of all organisms;
connect, communicate, create balance with your dog."
