About Cooperative K9 Chattanooga

Cooperative K9 Chattanooga is a Chattanooga-based trainer whose published mission is "to help families build lifelong, unbreakable bonds with their dogs".

How the work is structured

Two routes are published. Boarding and training leaves the dog with the trainers full time to build "the most important obedience, leash and crate training skills" while behavioral issues are worked on through socializing with dogs and people. Private training is described as meeting "one-on-one with Karla" to work on the client's own goals and to learn how to maintain the training at home. The site says training includes lifetime access for follow-up questions: "your relationship with your dog is a journey and we want to be there to support you all along the way."

What they publish working on

Basic and advanced obedience, behavior therapy, support dog training, housebreaking, crate training, distraction training, socialization with people and dogs, and on- and off-leash work, plus named problems including separation anxiety, nervousness, barking, biting, chewing and jumping.

Who runs it

The site is written in the first person by Karla, the owner, who says the business uses "the most effective, humane and up to date training methods".

Where they work

The published service area crosses the state line: Hamilton, Bradley, Marion and Sequatchie counties in Tennessee, and Catoosa, Walker and Whitfield counties in Georgia.
