Helping you and your dog find your rhythm together.
Most dogs aren't misbehaving. They're misunderstood. Kindred K9 bridges the gap between what you're saying and what your dog is hearing, so you can finally work together instead of against each other.
Training built around your dog
Every dog is different. Maybe you've got a wild puppy, or a stubborn four-year-old who's picked up some bad habits. Either way, there's a path forward, and we'll find it together.
Puppy Foundation Training
Give your new pup the best possible start: building confidence, good manners, and habits that actually stick.
Group Training Classes
Learn alongside other dog owners in a supportive setting, great for socialization and building real-world skills.
Private 1-on-1 Sessions
Manners, obedience, and life skills built through focused, one-on-one coaching in your home.
Behavioral Problem-Solving
Reactivity, aggression, fear, and anxiety. We'll find the root cause behind the behavior and build a real solution.
Training that strengthens your bond
A well-trained dog is great. But a dog who trusts you, and a you who truly understands them, is life-changing.
You learn too, not just your dog
I teach you to read your dog's signals so you're confident in any situation, long after our sessions end.
Built on trust, not fear
Results from pressure-based training fade fast. We build a relationship your dog actually wants to be part of.
Habits that hold at home
I train where real life happens: your kitchen, your front door, your leash. That way the results carry over everywhere.
Real results, real families
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what Davis County dog owners are saying.
"I wouldn't say our lab was a 'bad' dog before hiring Dan, but it has been a night and day difference after just 2 weeks. He's so much more responsive to commands — now he goes to his 'place' and stays until he's released. That relieves so much anxiety when you have kids or guests over. Every aspect of owning a dog has gotten so much easier. I wish we would've done this sooner!"
"One of my favorite parts of Dan's training style is that he works in your home, in your dog's natural environment. He didn't just learn to listen to Dan — he learned to listen to all of us. Training us was just as important as training our dog. It's set us up to keep improving and maintain the good habits. I highly recommend Dan — I promise you won't regret it!"
"Before working with Dan, our dog would jump on people, steal food off the counter, and had a bad habit of chewing things around the house. Dan took the time to work not only with our dog, but also with us, making sure we understood how to reinforce the training at home. The results have been incredible. Our dog rarely jumps on people anymore, has completely stopped counter surfing, and only chews on his toys. I highly recommend Kindred K9 to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and effective trainer. My only regret is not calling Dan when our dog was a puppy!"
"Awesome trainer that genuinely cares about the dog. Huge improvement in our german shepherd after a week of working with him. Highly recommend!"
