How It Works: Each step builds on the last, teaching you and your dog how to focus, trust, and stay calm — even under real-world distractions. This is a progressive,  results-driven system that creates lasting transformation, not a revolving door of obedience classes that fade once the lessons stop.

During This Program, You’ll Develop...

Dog walking calmly on leash with owner

Reliable Leash Work

No More Tug-of-War.

Your walks shouldn’t feel like a battle. You’ll learn how to create calm, focused leash communication so your dog follows your lead with respect and trust, turning daily walks into peaceful, enjoyable experiences for both of you.

Dog walking loosely on leash beside person on path

Loose-Leash Walking

Calm, Confident Movement at Your Side.

No more pulling, pacing, or dragging you down the street. We’ll teach you and your dog how to walk together in sync—relaxed, confident, and connected—with your dog calmly moving at your side no matter what distractions arise.

Calm dogs sitting together

An end to reactivity

No More Barking, Lunging, or Outbursts.

We address the cause, not just the symptom. Through leadership, timing, and calm correction, your dog will learn to stay composed and responsive instead of reacting to every noise, dog, or person that passes by.

Dog sitting calmly off leash outdoors

Off-leash reliability

Your Dog Listens, Even When Freedom’s on the Line.

True freedom comes from trust and control. You’ll develop communication and consistency that allow your dog to listen and respond to you, even off-leash—at home, on a trail, or in a busy public setting.

Calm dog resting on couch at home

Calmness at home

Balanced Energy, Structure, and Trust Where It Matters Most.

Peace starts at home. We’ll help you create a calm, structured environment built on trust and leadership, so your dog can relax, follow direction, and feel secure—turning your home into a place of balance for everyone in it.

🐾  K9 Intuition 5-Step Dog Training System — Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What makes the K9 Intuition 5-Step System different?

    Most trainers focus on commands. We focus on behavior, mindset, and leadership. Our 5-Step Dog Training System teaches you how to guide your dog with calm, confident energy — creating respect, trust, and lasting results that lasat long after training ends.

  • 2. How do I know if my dog is right for the program?

    If your dog pulls on leash, ignores commands, gets distracted, anxious, or reactive — this program is for you. We specialize in dogs of all temperaments, from stubborn and overexcited to fearful and shut down. If you’re ready to learn and lead, your dog is ready to change.

  • 3. But my dog isn’t aggressive — is this still the right program?

    Absolutely. Most of our clients’ dogs aren’t aggressive — they’re just unbalanced, overstimulated, or confused. This dog training system isn’t just for “problem dogs.” It’s for anyone who wants calm, reliable behavior and a stronger bond built on trust, structure, and clear communication.

  • 4. How long does the program take?

    The full program includes five private lessons over five weeks. Each session builds on the last, giving you and your dog time to absorb, practice, and master each step.



  • 5. What will my dog learn?

    You’ll see transformation across five key areas:


    • Reliable leash work — no more tug-of-war
    • Loose-leash walking — calm, confident movement at your side
    • An end to reactivity — no more barking, lunging, or outbursts
    • Off-leash reliability — your dog listens even when freedom’s on the line
    • Calmness at home — balance, structure, and trust where it matters most
  • 6. What will I learn as the owner?

    You’ll learn how to communicate, correct, and lead effectively — becoming the calm, capable pack leader your dog naturally follows. It’s not just about training your dog — it’s about transforming your relationship.

  • 7. When will I start seeing results?

    Most clients see measurable progress after the first lesson — and a completely new level of calm and control by lesson five.



  • 8. What does the program cost?

    • Weekday Program: 5-Week Course — Starting at $1,900
    • Weekend Program: 5-Week Course — Starting at $2,200
    • Includes a full behavioral evaluation, custom training plan, hands-on coaching, and lifetime trainer support.
  • 9. Do you offer payment plans or discounts?

    Yes. We offer:


    • Flexible payment plans for every budget
    • Active-duty military discounts
    • Evaluation discounts for clients who complete their initial assessment
    • Ask about current promotions when you schedule your evaluation.
  • 10. What’s included in the behavioral evaluation?

    Your 45-minute assessment at the K9 Intuition Ranch identifies the root causes of your dog’s behavior, explains how the 5-Step Dog Training System works, and gives you a clear, confident action plan.



  • 11. Do you work with aggressive dogs?

    Yes — in most cases.

    We specialize in behavior transformation and leadership training. Severe aggression cases are evaluated individually to ensure safety and fit.

  • 12. Do you train puppies?

    No — currently, we do not work with puppies.


    We currently work with dogs 10 months and older and weighing at least 18 lbs.

    Our focus is on lasting behavioral transformation, not early-stage puppy training.

  • 13. Is the program worth the investment?

    Absolutely.

    Most owners spend thousands on group classes or hourly lessons that often never address the real problem. Our 5-Step Dog Training System creates lifelong results because we aren't training your dog; we are teaching you to be your dog's trainer. You are learning a skill set designed to be applied to any dog you have. This isn't just an investment in your current dog but all your future dogs as well.

Tails From The Dog House

"For me, my greatest lessons came not from a book, but from sitting in a cage with a dangerous dog."
By Stefano Filippelli January 12, 2020
Great day with Billy overall, but we definitely have some issues we must address. We pray we can make him safe to be adopted.
By Stefano Filippelli January 12, 2020
We got called in by the rescue who saved Billy because he wasn’t doing well at the kennel he was at. Billy was showing a lot of aggression toward the owners there. He even bit and latched on to one of them. Let’s see if just a change in environment is all he needed. We were Billy’s last best chance at finding balance in his life. Here’s his story, Day 1. (Note: tennis racket is used as a mini shield if we had to enter the kennel)
