About Robin’s K9 Lifestyle

Behavior change for real life

Robin's K9 Lifestyle is a Gainesville behavior modification and dog training business focused on reactivity, anxiety, impulse control and puppy foundations. Trainer Robin cites over 15 years and hands-on work with more than 8,000 dogs, including managing a veterinarian boarding facility, shelter work, service dogs and two prison rehabilitation programs, Paws on Parole and Cuffs & Collars. She is a Certified Dog Trainer through Animal Behavior College and teaches workshops for other trainers.

Approach

Behavior modification here is about changing how a dog feels about the world: dogs that pull, bark, lunge or shut down are treated as overwhelmed rather than bad, and the work addresses the emotion behind the behavior.

Programs

Board & Train targets the issues owners actually live with, such as leash behavior, reactivity and overstimulation, in a quiet home setting with everyday environments, and ends with a private transition lesson. Private In-Home Training ("Train Where Life Happens") is customized in real time with hands-on coaching. Puppy Training covers crate comfort, potty routines, bite inhibition, frustration tolerance and calm behavior, plus basic obedience and tricks.

What owners say

"Robin is a solid dog trainer with years of experience and gift for understanding dogs," wrote a fellow trainer.
