About Kota K9 Dog Training

Overview

Kota K9 Dog Training is a family-owned and operated business in Jefferson, Ohio, branded "where trust meets training." It offers a broad menu: private lessons, puppy programs, day trains, board & trains, behavior modification, group classes, doggie day stays, and boarding.

Method and credentials

The site says it uses "training methods that match their lifestyle" without naming a single philosophy, but its tool set and badges point to a balanced approach: it is an authorized e-collar dealer (ecollar.com), an AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Evaluator, and an ABCDT trainer member. The mix of e-collar dealership alongside CGC evaluation and a full facility-plus-board-and-train model defines its positioning; a named lead trainer and tenure are the main missing details.

Thank you Kota K9 for working with our newfypoo Charlie. Charlie did the 3 week day training, Brittany and Dakota were so flexible with our work schedule.
Before her training there were days it was difficult to live with her, basically she had us trained. Dakota did a great job with not only training her, but teaching us as well! She finished her training a few months ago and she is so much easier to handle. One of my main priorities was getting her to walk without her walking me and Dakota nailed it! I love taking her for walks and we can now take her on adventures with us.

Dakota and Brittany are AMAZING! They were incredibly patient and kind with my 2 dogs. I wanted a trainer that used more compassion and patience with dogs instead of yelling and military style training.

My dogs (and my wife and I) learned an incredible amount during the 3 week day training package. My boys are now more calm and confident in themselves which makes our friendship that much stronger.

I recommend Kota K9 to anyone that has a dog that needs some help learning their manners!

Dakota did a great job with both of my boys, he’s helped “train me” on how to properly use rewards and commands. He not only showed immense patience for both dogs, but with me as well. He customized each training session based on their personalities, motivators, age, and knowledge level. I can’t recommend Dakota and Kota K9 Services enough for your training needs. You won’t find anyone more passionate for your dogs training and your needs from a training program.

Awesome!! Dakota has done such a great job with our Australian Shepherd, Whiskey. Whiskey started obedience training when he was about 9 months old. Since then his good behavior, at home and in public, has become very reliable. Dakota emphasized how important it is for us as owners to understand the how's and why's of the training because consistency is key. Whiskey and I both have 100% trust in Dakota's fair and positive approach to training!
