About Body and Mind K9

What they offer

Body and Mind K9 is a balanced dog training business that trains in the places owners actually take their dogs around Long Beach, from busy bike paths to farmers markets, rather than in a kennel or backyard. Its stated goal is a dog you can take anywhere.

How it works

New clients fill out a short application, then book a hands-on intro session where the trainer assesses the dog and builds a plan. The private Foundations Program is six weeks of one-on-one coaching across six sessions focused on heel, down, place and recall, with homework between sessions. The owner does the handling with a trainer coaching each step.

Training approach

The team says it chooses tools to fit the dog, typically starting with a slip collar and leash and adding prong or e-collars along with toys and food where needed.
