I am passionate about helping people win when it comes to their dog.

You can also find Diamond K9 on YouTube.You can also listen to our podcast, Off Leash and Unfiltered. You can also find my podcast on Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer, Podchaser, and other platforms. These things are offered for free, and we appreciate it immensely when you subscribe to and share our content, enabling us to reach and help more people.
Dogs that have completed an e-collar training program with us (including board and train) are potentially eligible for future boarding! Your dog stays in Kati’s home each night and their stay includes practicing previously learned skills and daily exercise. Premium boarders are given more designated training time. Premium is generally only booked by people whose dogs are dealing with serious reactivity, fear, or severe anxiety. Dogs are approved on an individual basis. Training prerequisites must be met before boarding.
| Standard Boarding | $50/nt |
| Premium Boarding | $100/nt |
So, you got a dog. Things started out well enough, but maybe he’s developed some issues of concern. Over time, these things can escalate and become a real source of stress for the whole family. Things like reactivity, territorial behavior, nervousness, aggression, and resource guarding can lead to a smaller life for the dog and the humans.
This is the most common program for any dog exhibiting moderate to severe reactivity, anxiety, or any kind of aggression. It is also a suitable program for dogs without behavioral issues if you want a more thorough obedience foundation, including off leash heel.
To truly be effective, we can’t just focus on obedience sessions daily or weekly. Most likely, you will learn a whole new way to live with your dog and build a new relationship. That’s how you create real change. And that is what sets this program apart from others in the market. You’ll receive:
- Mini-Educator from E-Collar Technologies
- Properly fitted prong collar if needed
- Long line (20 feet)
- Raised cot
- Baskerville muzzle if needed
- Receive recaps (upon request) of our session via email for reference
- Text/email support in between our sessions If Needed
- Continued support for one year after the program if needed
- Free admission to drop-in group classes forever! (for as long as they are offered)
- Potential eligibility for future boarding

Does your dog look at you like you’re speaking a foreign language? You probably are! Is your dog easily overstimulated, and unable to focus or even notice you’re there sometimes? Does your dog understand what you want, but they only listen under the right conditions?
This is all very common. This program is geared mainly toward teaching obedience to a highly reliable level and is for dogs with no serious behavioral issues or reactivity. We show you how to teach your dog what you want, and gain compliance in distracting environments.

We primarily offer training in a board and train format. These programs are amazing as they immerse your dog in training all day, every day, but they stay in a normal home environment.
Board and train programs also allow for daily training with a professional who is skilled in the nuances of obedience training, behavior modification, and e-collar training. This means efficient and effective interactions that produce better results, faster.
At the end of your dog’s stay, we have an in-depth go-home session with you. Your training is every bit as important as the dog’s! Reach out today for a free phone consultation. Fill out the contact form now to get started!

| Do you feel overwhelmed by where to start training? Do you read a lot of conflicting information about what you should be doing and how to do it? Or maybe you simply want to get off on the best possible foot with your new puppy. If you want to reduce chaos, avoid common mistakes, and lay a great obedience foundation with post program support and guidance, this is a great program for you! We will teach your puppy ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘place’, ‘come’, and leash engagement skills!In addition to commands, we work on calmness in the crate, potty habits, name recognition, door manners, and eliminating jumping, nipping, inappropriate barking, and begin building impulse control. This is an amazing foundation for a young puppy to set the stage for a long life of freedom and family inclusion. The Puppy Scholar program is most suitable for puppies three to five months old. | |

| Goal Digger Package (6+ mos) | |
| 2 week Board and Train | |
| This is our number one program for anybody who just wants to get more reliability and engagement from their dog. This program is focused mainly on commands (sit,’down’,’place’,’come’) and polite leash walking. It produces off leash reliability, and helps you eliminate minor behavioral issues. Do you wish your dog would listen, even around distractions? Come back when called? Stop pulling on the leash? Imagine a dog that lies on their bed when guests arrive, and stays there! Fix common nuisance behaviors and get reliable compliance with obedience commands. You’ll receive an in-depth go home session at the end of the program and a follow-up session several weeks later (for a total of 3–5 hours with us). You also get free admission to our drop-in group classes for as long as they are offered! This program gives you an impressive combination of training, tools, and support. The two-week board and train program is intended for dogs with minimal behavioral issues. It is not suitable for dogs with severe anxiety, fearfulness, aggression, or severe reactivity. | |

| Serenity Now! (6+ mos) | |
| 3-4 week Board and Train | |
| Are you ready to really see your dog’s full potential? This program lays an obedience foundation (“sit”, “down”, “place”, “come”, ) and teaches the dog the language of the e-collar just like in the Goal Digger program. The additional one to two weeks enables us more time to solidify additional commands like e-collar “heel” and “out” (drop resources). It also allows us to dive deeper into state of mind training for dogs that have any serious behavioral issues.This program is highly tailored to the dog. Each day and the composition of each session is dictated by what this specific dog needs. The board and train format really enables us to get to know your dog on a deeper level and discover some smaller, more nuanced things about their behavior and how they respond to things, which we can then pass on to you for maximum success! | |
| Price | $2597 (3 weeks / 2 sessions with owner) |

A lot of folks get scared of the word e-collar. We’re here to tell you that you can relax. Our experience has been that most people are letting their imagination get the best of them. People have no idea what they are missing out on until they finally try one, and then their mind is blown at what their dog is really capable of and how much it improves their relationship.
Wouldn’t it be great to send your dog to their bed and know that they will settle down and stay there until you say it is okay to get up? Well you can! And you don’t have to worry about messing anything up because we make this easy!
In this course you will learn how to set up your e-collar, condition your dog to understand the e-collar on very low, gentle levels, and ultimately how to hold your dog accountable so you can successfully train your dog to get on ‘place’ and stay there for hours!
Benefit from Kati’s expert tips on collar management and conditioning, all while building a stronger bond and better life with your dog.
You will be so glad you tried this course! Courses are available for purchase in the courses section of the shop. Alternatively, if you already have a membership, you can log into Diamond K9 Academy here.
