Let’s Talk About Socialization 🐾

When most people hear “dog socialization,” they think their dog needs to be the life of the party—playing with every dog in sight.

But here’s the truth: that’s not what true socialization is about.

Real socialization is actually exposure training. Proper exposure, moving at the speed of the dog, helps your dog feel calm, confident, and neutral in all kinds of situations:

✔️ Around other dogs�✔️ Meeting new people�✔️ Navigating new environments

A well-socialized dog doesn’t need to be everyone's best friend. They just need to trust YOU, feel safe, and know how to behave appropriately in the world around them.

Want to learn more? 🎥 Check out our latest YouTube video featuring Co-Founders Ray & Bridget Murphy and Trainers Damian and Shane as they break it all down.

Real transformation takes more than quick fixes. It takes the right program—and the right guidance.

Zabar’s family enrolled her in our Total Transformation Program with Northern California dog trainer Marilyn, and the results are already unfolding.

This hybrid training model combines the structure of our immersive Board & Train with the hands-on support of private in-home sessions, making it ideal for addressing reactivity, anxiety, aggression, and everything in between.

Zabar’s customized transformation program includes:
✔️ 4-Week Board & Train
✔️ Go-Home Transition Session
✔️ 3 Follow-Up Sessions for Real-Life Success

This is how lasting change begins.

It’s not just about obedience—it’s about creating calm, building confidence, and restoring the bond between dog and human.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like your dog is slipping away from the life you imagined—don’t wait.
Let us help you build a stronger, more peaceful life with your dog.

From Chaos to Calm: Butters’ Transformation 🐾

Butters, a French Bulldog, just wrapped up our 3-Week Muttamorphosis Program with Bay Area trainer Irini Diaz—and the results speak for themselves.

**Before Koru K9:**

* Severe reactivity to strangers and other dogs
* Constant fixation on dogs during walks
* Resource guarding, especially around his male owner
* Inconsistent obedience

Butters’ family was exhausted and stressed—until they found the right help.

“We are beyond grateful for Irini and the incredible transformation she helped create. She didn’t just train Butters—she truly cared for him. When he was too stressed to continue training, she compassionately paused the program and gave him space to reset. That thoughtful decision made all the difference. Butters came back a different dog—with routine, boundaries, and clarity. We call her 'Auntie Irini' in our home, and despite his distrust of strangers, Butters absolutely adores her. That speaks volumes.”

With structure, consistency, and a training approach rooted in understanding, Butters is finally thriving.

If your dog is struggling with reactivity, behavioral issues, or just needs clear guidance—don't give up! We can help.

Mastering Dog Training: How the Right Tools Build Trust 🐾

Training tools aren't just gear—they're a way to speak your dog’s language.

Before your dog can confidently handle busy streets, loud parks, or new environments, they need a solid training foundation rooted in trust and communication.

Here’s how we help dogs succeed:

✅ Begin in calm, low-distraction
environments to build focus and trust

✅ Gradually add challenges to strengthen confidence and consistency

✅ Create a solid foundation so your dog feels secure and responsive anywhere—from trails to city streets

When used correctly, tools like the prong collar or E-Collar aren't about control—they’re about clarity. They help guide your dog, reduce confusion, and build a strong partnership based on communication—not force.

Join us in welcoming the newest member of the Koru K9 team — Alex McGovern! 🐶✨

Alex is an exceptional dog trainer and the latest addition to our Team Seattle In-Home Training crew! Her passion, skill, and dedication to helping dogs and their humans is exactly what Koru K9 is all about.

"Hi! My name is Alex McGovern, I’ve been training dogs professionally for about 5 years! I originally got into dog training when I rescued a reactive dog. I fell in love with the process and the science behind why dogs behave the way they do. I began fostering and training the dogs I had through rescues and shelters. Throughout the last five years I’ve worked with so many dogs who struggle with aggression, insecurity’s that lead to reactivity , and your classic basic manners. Ive also been heavily involved in dog sports over the last three years and I love having fun with my dogs! One important take I have from this journey is that dogs are always training , and we are always reinforcing behaviors. I love working with people and their dogs and creating a customized plan that makes their day to day life easier!"

Seattle-based Trainer Damian Blanton is working with sweet Gemma during her 6-Week Board & Train—focusing on prong collar introductions!

When introduced correctly, a prong collar isn’t about control—it’s about communication.

Used properly, it helps dogs like Gemma understand what’s being asked of them, especially in high-distraction environments.

It’s not about forcing behavior—it’s about creating clarity, consistency, and a dog who’s confident and responsive.

Let’s Talk Training Tools 🐾✨

They’re not the problem—misuse is.

Tools like prong collars, slip leads, and e-collars often get a bad rap. But the truth?

When used correctly, they’re just communication tools—not punishment.

At Koru K9, we do things differently:

✅ We build trust and engagement first��✅ We focus on low-level, fair communication your dog can actually understand

Dog training should never be about fear—it’s about clarity, trust, and respect. 💙
