Science-backed training, made personal.

Training Philosophy

At MD K9 Training, we believe obedience is only part of the picture. Real success comes from building trust, structure, and clear communication between you and your dog.

Our methods blend science-backed techniques with a personal, supportive approach, giving you lasting results and a stronger bond with your dog.

Whether you are dealing with difficult behaviors such as jumping, pulling, aggression or destruction, or you want to advance what they already know, we can help! Our mission is to give every owner a better understanding of their dog, deepen their relationship, and provide the tools to work through any problem or achieve any goal.

Ways to Work Together
Get Started with a Free Eval
FANTASTIC trainer Kyle. He helped train me and my 2 Pomeranians They are so much  better behaved now, especially when we meet other dogs. I definitely learned a lot. My Pomeranians were mesmerized by him. They clung on to his every word and listened to his commands. I was amazed. Excellent sessions. Worth every penny!
Lydia
Working with Kyle enabled me to confidently develop a reliable recall with my dog, enabling us to have amazing off leash adventures and safely enjoy the places we travel and hike in. Knowing I can reach out for additional lessons and support as needed from a trainer whose approach is compassionate and effective has been so valuable and I am beyond grateful to have found such a resource.
Erika
Kyle has been an amazing trainer for our 11 month old golden retriever. At 5 months old, our dog had some of the worst food aggression any of us had seen as a puppy. Within 2 months of following Kyle’s plan our dog has been free from any food aggression and is very calm when it comes to feeding. Professional and safe training methods to help with obedience training as well.
