About K9 State of Mind LLC

One trainer, four ways to work with her

K9 State of Mind is based in New Glarus, Wisconsin, and the home page introduces the trainer in her own voice: "Hi there, I'm Amy Robinson, your certified master dog trainer. I offer in-person dog behavior modification, dog group classes and board & train." Private training happens at a personal location in New Glarus.

The four services

Board & Train is described as "The most sophisticated 2-4 week program where your dog stays with Amy & her master trained dogs to work on behaviors like fear or agression" – so it is aimed at behavior cases rather than polish. Dog Behavior Modification is defined as the private track: "Also known as, dog individual training – Works specifically on any behavioral issues that are occurring." Group Classes span a wide age and temperament range: "Amy offers a range of classes from Puppy Pre-school, adult basic obedience, advanced obedience, tricks, shy dogs & senior dogs." Dog Walking & Running is offered as a supplement rather than a standalone: "Now offering additional exercise sessions that are conducted in a way that supports your obedience training goals." Basic Agility and an online evaluation also appear in the site's own services menu.

Class program

The home page announces an expansion: "We have a new, larger training area and new classes to introduce including AKC Advanced Canine Good Citizen prep and testing, senior dog classes and more!"

Method

The stated approach is motivational and two-way: "The K9 State of Mind approach is figuring out how to motivate & communicate with our dogs so we can understand each other." The line the business closes on is "Dogs are easy . . . humans are the hard part." A client account quoted on the site describes a dog earning Canine Good Citizen certification and taking agility classes there, and credits "her positive methods" with helping rescue dogs overcome fears.
