About Coexist Dog Training & Services

<h2>Board and train, private lessons, boarding and walking</h2>

<p>Coexist Dog Training &amp; Services states its mission as teaching "owners and dogs to not only coexist, but to thrive and experience life with the freedom that comes with a well-trained dog." The site says the business was "founded by Rachiim &lsquo;Rocky&rsquo; Johnson" and describes its approach as balance: "the key to a harmonious relationship between dogs and their owners lies in balance," with "results-based techniques" and "customized dog training services for all breeds and sizes."</p>

<h3>Programs</h3>

<p>The services page lists two board and train programs. The 3-Week Basic Obedience program is described as "perfect for owners looking to train their dogs who have poor manners or simply need to learn basic obedience skills&hellip; ideal for dogs with no behavioral issues," covering sit, down, recall, go to bed (climb), stay, loose-leash walking and crate manners. The 5-Week Advanced Obedience / Behavior Modification program is "best for owners looking to take their training to the next level with some advanced off-leash obedience or for owners with dogs who have mild-to-severe behavioral problems," adding off-leash training, socialization outside the home and "behavior modification protocols for issues, like aggression, separation anxiety, and reactivity." Private one-on-one lessons cover the same basic obedience list with the owner involved in the work.</p>
