When not training, the dogs live in a family environment where couch naps are encouraged.
FAMILY ENVIRONMENT
Kodiak K9’s Board & Train program is not a kennel-based system—it’s a fully immersive, in-home training experience. Over two weeks, most dogs make incredible progress as they live and train inside a real home under the guidance of professional trainers. For dogs with more challenging behaviors or those needing additional reinforcement, an optional third week provides extra time to solidify training and ensure long-term success.
Unlike traditional programs, where dogs are confined to kennels between sessions, our trainers work with your dog 24/7 in a home environment. This hands-on, real-time approach ensures that training is practical, consistent, and seamlessly integrated into everyday life, creating habits that truly stick.

Very highly recommend Kodiak K9! Reese trained with Brad for 2 weeks, absolutely loving meeting the other dogs and cuddling with kids and neighbors. He went from constantly pulling on the leash to comfortably walking on loose lead and off leash entirely. He’s still very much our puppy, but he is so much better about all the bad habits we had been seeing.
Cannot say enough about this team. From the first call onwards, they listened, answered all the questions and truly cared. Megan was my dogs trainer and she was fabulous and worked wonders with him. Will forever be grateful to Kodiak K9.

I can’t thank Megan and the entire family enough for their exceptional care and training of my dog, Ocean. Megan consistently sent me pictures and videos, answering all my questions, especially during the two weeks I was away from my dog. If you're considering this service, definitely ask for MEGAN—she treats every dog as if they were her own. Thank you, Kodiak K9!

Brad and his family were a God-send. We signed Charlotte up for the 3 week board/training, and we are so grateful we did. Brad would send videos of the training nearly daily, so we saw the progress and knew that she was in the best hands. It felt as though we had left Charlotte with a family member, as Brad and his family took amazing care of her.

HUNDREDS OF DOGS TRAINED
Brad has been a K9 handler and head trainer in a large metropolitan police department since 2009, training patrol and detection teams across multiple agencies. At Kodiak K9, he applies that expertise to train dogs of all breeds in a real-home environment, ensuring they feel comfortable and engaged. With his family actively involved, training includes real-world scenarios, helping dogs build confidence and impulse control; always with plenty of love and a well-earned couch nap.
Corey has been training dogs since 2007, specializing in behavior modification and obedience. As a former police K9 handler, he worked with patrol and narcotics dogs while mentoring other handlers. Training at his home is a family effort, creating a supportive environment where dogs thrive through trust, structure, and hands-on care.
