About K9 Packleader

In-home training from St. Louis

K-9 Pack Leader calls itself the St. Louis home of "That Makes Sense" dog training. The stated goal is to simplify training so owners understand why their dog behaves as it does, and the trainer describes a specialty in rescue dogs and difficult behavior cases.

Services

The main service is a one-on-one session in your home, which the site recommends in most cases; the first two hours focus on the owner and the behavior issues at hand, explaining what the dog is communicating and how to set consistent rules, boundaries and limits. Red-Zone Rehabilitation is a separate service for severe cases, carried out at the trainer's own property with the owner taking part in each step. Short- and long-term boarding is offered in a home-like setting on three acres.

Approach

The training is framed around leadership: owners are taught to become their dog's pack leader. Follow-up guidance is offered at no extra charge, and the site says the phone is answered around the clock.

Contact

Call or text the number on the site; payment is by cash, check or Venmo.

What to ask

Ask how long an in-home session runs, what Red-Zone Rehabilitation involves day to day, and how follow-up support works.
