About Taylor’d K9 Training and Dog Supplies

Who they are

Taylor'd K9 Training and Dog Supplies is on Mansion Street in Coxsackie, run by Taylor with a second trainer, Kayla, named throughout the client reviews. Its stated philosophy is about fluency between handler and dog — the site's phrase is that mutual respect and understanding create "synergy, a team that is better together than alone." It describes itself plainly as a balanced practice that tailors lessons to each individual dog and person, and says the team has worked with hundreds of dogs interpreting body language, addressing problem behaviors and teaching basic obedience.

What they offer

Five services are published: private lessons, day trains, board and trains, group classes and grooming. That range matters in this part of Greene County, because it means one business can take a dog from a weekly class through to a residential program without the owner starting over somewhere new. Hike-and-train sessions appear in the client accounts as a seasonal outdoor option.

The harder cases

The site names human and dog aggression directly as work it does, which is unusual among trainers on this side of the river. The published client accounts back that up with specifics rather than adjectives: resource guarding worked through with an adopted husky-shepherd mix, a reactive German Shepherd introduced to a second GSD in the same household, a shy and fearful dog brought out of her shell, and an anxious Belgian Malinois. Several accounts describe sessions held in the client's own home, backyard, front yard and neighborhood streets rather than at the facility.

Testing and titles

One client describes Taylor administering a Canine Good Citizen test for them, meeting them to run it and guiding them through the process. Another describes working toward a therapy certification for their male German Shepherd. If a title or a test is your goal, that is a published capability rather than an inference.

Day trains and group classes

Day training comes up repeatedly in the client accounts as the routine option — dogs attending once or twice a week. One owner draws the distinction the site would probably make itself: it is "not just rambunctious play like other doggy day cares, but the pups are worked with." Group obedience classes run in multi-week blocks; one account describes a roughly six-week course.
