A man and a woman with a dog in front of a house. The woman is crouched, petting the dog lying on the grass, while the man stands holding the dog's leash. The house has a symmetrical design with multiple windows and a black front door, surrounded by trees and bushes with autumn leaves scattered on the lawn.

Putting the leash back in your hands!

Empowering owners. Elevating dogs. Creating harmony at home.

WHO WE HELP

I work with dogs who struggle with:

  • Over-arousal, reactivity, or inconsistency

  • Big feelings and poor off-switches

  • Confusion about boundaries

And owners who are:

  • Tired of guessing

  • Over quick fixes

  • Ready for calm structure

WHAT MAKES GOOD K9 DIFFERENT

-Kindness without permissiveness

-Boundaries without force

-Foundations that hold up in real life

Two happy dogs sitting outdoors behind a sign that says 'Tail Waggin' Barks and Brews Bash' and 'Good K9 Institute'. One dog is tan and black, and the other is brown and white, both with their tongues out.

“Because for me, it’s never just about obedience —
it’s about connection, confidence,
and finally feeling like your dog fits into your life, not runs it.”
- Amanda, Good K9 Institute

Two dogs, one black and one white with brown patches, sitting on a concrete and wooden bench by a lake in a park. The black dog is on the upper part of the bench, and the white and brown dog is in front. The background shows a calm lake with trees and houses on the opposite shore, under a clear blue sky.
