K9SF Dog Training provides professional, private dog training tailored to each dog's obedience and behavioral needs using positive, balanced techniques. They can train any dog, breed, or temperament at various locations, including your home, public parks, their Minneapolis office, or local training facilities. For busy schedules, they offer flexible Board & Train options lasting from one day to three weeks.
Many clients report significant improvements after training with K9SF. One customer praised trainer Milo, noting that her dog went through a two-week Board & Train plus at-home sessions, which greatly reduced her dog’s reactivity to other dogs and decreased her dog’s anxiety. The dog now walks calmly and has made doggie friends, with owners receiving compliments on her peaceful nature. Another client with a highly energetic and leash-reactive dog experienced more progress in three months with Milo than in two years of previous training efforts, even helping the dog pass the Canine Good Citizen test.
K9SF specializes in helping dogs with fear aggression, anxiety, and reactivity. Clients share that Milo and the team are very knowledgeable, understanding, and communicative, providing daily updates and guiding owners through desensitization exercises. One owner, whose dog had worsening fear aggression, was initially told by other trainers that her dog would never improve. After working with K9SF, her dog showed remarkable progress, becoming more trusting and obedient, even in public spaces. The trainers’ attention to detail, encouragement, and non-judgmental approach have truly transformed the lives of many dogs and their owners.
Overall, K9SF Dog Training is highly recommended for anyone seeking effective, personalized training that fosters better behavior, trust, and a stronger bond between dogs and their owners.
I’ve seen so much improvement from my dog since taking her to the 3 week training here. I appreciate all the work that the trainers put into their time with my girl. (I’d also like to give a big shout out to Syd!)

We brought Dobby to North Star K-9 to help with his reactivity. Syd and the crew did a wonderful job training and taking care of Dobby. The report cards were extremely helpful as a dog owner because I knew exactly what Syd and Dobby had been working on each day. You can tell that Dobby learned a lot in his 3 week board... read full comment
