About Kristys K9 Training LLC
Positive-reinforcement, relationship-focused
Kristy's K9 Training LLC, based in Mogadore and also operating inside Arlington Ridge Pet Supplies Plus, uses positive reinforcement techniques delivered through skilled professional instruction. The stated focus is building strong dog-and-owner relationships and skills. The site notes the trainer graduated with honors from one of the top-ranked dog training instructor colleges and applies that training in every class.
AKC programs and class range
The class lineup is notably AKC-oriented. Offerings include Private Beginner Puppy classes for dogs not yet fully vaccinated (covering house training, nipping, chewing, crate training and jumping), Basic and Advanced Obedience, and a Distraction Training class aimed at reactive or newly adopted dogs working through issues in real-world settings. The business is an AKC Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator and prepares dogs for AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy, Canine Good Citizen, Trick Dog titles, AKC FitDog, Home Manners, and Therapy Dog work. This emphasis on AKC titling and evaluation, combined with private and group formats, distinguishes it from basic obedience-only trainers. Pricing is not detailed on the page reviewed.

Not the best tbh. Maybe for obedience (even that’s a ehh imo..).. Definitely not behavioral modification. She’s afraid of getting “bit”, despite my dog showing NO aggressive behavior. (He has anxiety). Everything she “taught” my dog he already knew. When we realized he knew everything she was teaching, we left her voicemails being like “hey we’re gonna wait and not have anymore sessions”, despite this, she did not reply to them and says “we owe her money” (we do not, we paid for our lesson, and decided not to do another week). She also never worked on his dog reactivity with us. He saw one dog during the entire time, and that was only due to it being in Lowe's. Anyway, my dog is doing better (thanks to myself). Maybe I’ll eventually get another trainer for my boy if I ever have to, but it will NOT be this one.

My dog and I just finished our 12th private class with Ms. Kristy – I couldn’t be happier with our work together and we hope to continue with monthly sessions to keep learning!
Ms. Kristy is patient and kind, extremely knowledgeable and genuinely invested in our progress and success. We are testing for therapy this weekend and feeling confident!
We have participated in other training sessions and classes with other trainers and facilities but we’ve never gotten the individualized training like Ms. Kristy offered – sessions are flexible and always tailored to what we wanted/needed!

Kristy is helping me train my pup to be a service dog. Kristy has done an excellent job with Judah and me 😊. I, as the owner, need trained on what to do and not do as much as the pup needs trained. She will advise you and tell you the “why” behind her advice, but will tell you, it’s your dog and ultimately your decision. (Example: Should I let strangers pet my service dog). Judah loves his private training sessions with Kristy!! Kristy is very knowledgeable about dog behavior. Kristy is upfront and honest about pricing and expectations.

We started our 8 week puppy in the one-on-one training to get him a good start. The training is excellent and progresses at the right pace for him. Excited to graduate and move into the more advanced distraction training. We’re on our way to have a well behaved pup thanks to Kristy!

Kristy is the best! She took the time to understand what we wanted to accomplish and set us on a path for success with our 2 year old Cavapoo, Penny. She has a lot of knowledge and experience that she is willing to share. We were comfortable asking questions and Kristy would demonstrate a skill if that was what we needed. The benefits of individualized training with Kristy are far superior to the group training we attended with a previous pet. We learned the skills we need to continue to work with Penny and would not hesitate to work with Kristy again.
