Welcome to Maya K9 Training

Congratulations, you’ve just taken the first step toward a better-behaved, more connected, and happier dog.

Get ready for a clear, practical training approach that delivers real-world results — and sticks.

Dog pulling on leash

Does your dog...

  • Embarrass you in public?
  • Drag you down the street on walks?
  • Ignore you when called?
  • Jump up on people, furniture, or countertops?
  • Bark nonstop and drive everyone nuts?
  • Bolt through open doors?
  • Lose all focus when something exciting happens?

And we can help with that and so much more.

Whether your dog feels “totally out of control” or is doing okay but could be more reliable, Maya K9 Training is here to help you build the dog you’ve always wanted.

Building the foundation for a better dog

Whether you’re just starting out or planning to advance later on, Maya K9 Training offers a solid foundation in real-world obedience. Our Novice Program is designed to teach your dog the essentials—like leash manners, focus, and calmness—so you can build toward more advanced skills and, eventually, full off-leash reliability.
