“With mutual respect and understanding, synergy occurs, making the canine and handler team stronger”

Our philosophy at Taylor’d K9 Training is to enable handlers and dogs to communicate fluently with each other, allowing them to create synergy—a team that is better together than alone. We are balanced trainers who tailor the lessons to each individual dog and person. Over the years, we have worked with hundreds of dogs, interpreting body language, addressing problem behaviors such as human and dog aggression, and teaching basic obedience to owners. We have channeled our passion for educating both people and dogs into developing a program that equips handlers to be successful and communicate with their canine companions more clearly and effectively. A program that enhances canine and handler relationships in both public spaces and the home is essential to us. At Taylor’d K9 Training, we constantly strive to maintain the mindset that we can learn and improve our skills as teachers, trainers, and handlers every day.

Our Services

What our clients are saying

  • Taylor was so great with helping us train our dog, Kirby. She helped a very shy, fearful, and timid dog come out of her shell more. We are so happy with the progress Kirby made working with Taylor! She was great throughout the whole process and gave us a lot of practical things to work on both during training and afterwards. 10/10

  • Taylor assisted with Rar, my Belgian Malinois, for anxiety and just getting some basics down. She was extremely accommodating and efficient. Will be using her for more advanced training with him

    Kelly Martinez

  • Taylor and Kayla have provided us with caring and capable staff for our pup, Maya. Kayla’s training lessons helped all three of us (!) Maya now goes to daycare twice a week from 9-5 and we couldn’t be happier! We give them 5 stars and wish them continued success!

    -Bob Gaus

  • Highly recommend K9 Training for all your dogs training and personal needs. I have attended group classes and currently send my dog twice a week for day training. My dog absolutely loves going and socializing with the other dogs. She has learned basic commands and comes home exhausted from her day of play!

    The owners are professional and kind during our interactions. Clearly passionate and enjoy their business.

    -Megan Gardner

  • Taylor has the patience of a saint when it comes to dogs and truly speaks their language. We have worked with other trainers in the past, but her approach outshines them all. Our dogs love her, even our somewhat skidding female GSD- she loves her “Taylor time!” We have worked on introducing our girl to her new brother, general obedience, confidence building, and reactivity. We will also be working on a therapy certification for our male GSD. We see a night and day difference in our dogs and it’s all due to Taylor guiding us. We recommend Taylor’s K9 Training to ANYONE with a dog!)

    Monica Estrand

  • We used Taylor’s K9 Training for their boarding services, and it was a great experience! Taylor was so attentive to our dog’s needs and is very accommodating! Pictures were sent daily! And prices were just right Highly recommend.

    Michelle Coppola

  • Can’t say thank you enough! Taylor helped me get Brodie to focus on me when we walk and now he’s not pulling me all over. She also helped with him not jumping on people to greet them and so much more. It was such a pleasure to work with her! I definitely recommend her training

    Jennifer Leis

  • I use Taylor’s K9 Training for my 8 month Germaneese. We go to Day Trains and have started the obedience group class. I cannot recommend Taylor and Kayla enough. They are both very knowledgeable and their techniques work awesome. I have seen a huge difference in my puppy already, and so cannot wait to continue this training journey.

    -Kacey Keifer

  • Great new place for dogs! 2nd time I've brought Dante my corgi to them for grooming and today he was being fussy/ hyper and they took the time to play with him to have him relax. Thank you very much for taking care of my pup.

    -Jeremy Kendzierski

  • Kayla worked with our dog, Maya, on her listening skills and her reactions to people (which was a big area of concern for us). Kayla was wonderful to work with and learn from. I feel like Maya has come so far in a short time. If you think you need help, call or email Taylor’d K9 Training. You will be glad you did.

    Desiree Pacuk

  • We found Taylor through the community and we were so happy we did! She really gets to know you and your animal, their personalities and needs. She helped us with our active Husky/Shepherd mix after we adopted him and wanted to work on basic obedience. During training we found out that our boy had some medical needs with his hip that would benefit from learning to settle. Taylor was on top of it and helped us through his hyperactivity and how we can be consistent with him. After our first training round we asked her to continue on with us to address resource guarding. He has come really far and we now have the tools we need to continue to improve on these skills over time. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to gain more awareness and control over your dog so that way the possibilities are endless on what experiences you can have with them

    Reagan Juliana

  • My wife and I had our German shepherd Zoe for almost two years when an opportunity came up for us to accept a second (1 year old) GSD into our lives. We knew that Zoe had some reactivity issues that needed to be addressed, so obviously she had some trouble adjusting the new pup. I reached out to Taylor at the suggestion of our neighbor. Taylor broke it down into easy steps to help us bring Siggy into the family the right way. I look forward to doing some more advanced training with Taylor and both my dogs

    John Estrand

  • Taylor is truly a dog whisperer! My dogs love her and sense she is in control just by her energy. All positive reinforcement which I love. So glad we found the hike and trains! Perfect summer/fall activity with the dogs! Wish I could give more than five stars!

    Cris Sullivan

  • I have a white shepherd that I adopted from a rescue, and at the time had very little experience with shepherds. Before taking a class with Taylor, I was really at a loss with what to do with him. He was a bit unruly and stressed out everyone in our household. The class we took was about 6 weeks long and at the end of it I couldn't believe how much he improved. Another member of the class even said to me "it is hard to believe that is the same dog!" I can't overstate what this has meant for our family. He no longer stresses us out and is a great "brother" to my kids. I am so thankful that Taylor trained him (and me) and I look forward to continuing his training. Taylor's calm, knowledgeable, welcoming demeanor made the classes fun and low stress! I highly recommend!

    Rebecca Pinder

  • Taylor was super helpful when testing for our Canine Good Citizen. She was responsive and flexible, she met with me to administer the test helped me through the whole process and offered support and guidance. I will definitely be joining in a few of the hike and train sessions she offers. I am so glad we found Taylor’d k9 Training!

    Rebecca Konwerski-Minnitit

  • Highly recommend Taylor. She is one of the best and truly has a passion for this!

    Joey Bernesser

  • My family decided to rescue and adopt a 2 y.o. black lab/hound mix in 2020. When we did our meet and greet she was calm and mellow but once she got acclimated she started showing some challenging behaviors we were not expecting and we needed help. Taylor was recommended to us and she was a life savers! She would come about 2x a week to our house to train Lucy and show me how to address certain behaviors. Taylor even did a session with Lucy and my son who has ASD so he could give her simple commands like "sit" and be able to give her a treat without being trampled on. Taylor comes with years of knowledge and experience and was understanding and flexible. I always felt comfortable having her in my home to help our furbaby become more manageable. We did sessions in our home, in our backyard and front yard, and lessons walking in the neighborhood and wooded areas. I highly recommend Taylor!!

    Amber Leigh

  • Our girl is loving Day Trains at Taylor'd K9 with all her friends. She is always so excited when we get there. It has been great to keep her socialized. We also love it's not just rambunctious play like other doggy day cares but the pups are worked with. It's so good for dogs that need mental stimulation.

    -Steve Sill

  • These people are absolutely amazing with my Akita puppy, first I hired Taylor, when my puppy was eight weeks old, She worked one on one with me an hour a week at my house.. she taught me so much and set me up for success.. then when he was fully vaccinated i brought him to her doggy daycare.. I didn’t think it would last so I started out with a half a day now goes for a full day, 4 days a week. He cannot wait to go every morning. He has a social life lol.. I can’t thank them all enough for loving my puppy and taking good care of him!! I highly recommend all her services❤️

    -Serena Staats

  • 100% trust and recommend these gals!

    -Tracey Lane

  • Taylor and Kayla were great at helping us with our dachshund puppy Noodles who is endless stubborn and loved to turn his ears off for me at home. We did private lessons with Kayla which was amazing because Noodles was a bit reactive and barking constantly in public with people, kids and dogs. Kayla and Taylor brought other dogs into our training sessions so we could practice how to keep Noodles calm and learn how to redirect him to keep his focus on us to prevent the barking and having that over excited energy in seeing new people and dogs. Kayla even met us in a local park for a lesson to work in real life scenarios in real time. Noodles feels like a different dog and I feel more in control when we go out and about now thanks to Taylor’d K9 Training!

    -Julia Marie

  • Taylor’d K9 Training has been an incredible resource for us as first-time ACD parents. Their program not only helped our pup grow into a confident, competent boy, but also gave my partner and me the skills to be more confident handlers ourselves. They showed us how to take his natural energy and drive and channel it into effective, purposeful tasks that bring out the best in him. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, we now feel equipped and connected as a team. The transformation in our dog’s focus, behavior, and work ethic has been amazing, and the growth we’ve experienced together as a family is something we’re so grateful for.
