Peak K-9 Dog Training

Give your dog the best chance at a full life

About Us

Peak K-9 began with the idea that every dog deserves the best chance to live a full life. We believe that every dog is different and that we will shift our training style to fit each individual dog. We believe in the science behind dog training; using motivation to increase behaviors and discipline to decrease the undesirable behaviors while showing your dog what is clearly expected of them. We believe that the clear communication and relationship between you and your dog is the key to living a long and happy life together.

Testimonies

  • Melanie is a wonderful trainer.. so patient with both the dogs and their humans! The facility is very nice... each dog has plenty of space to work without being on top of another dog. Class size is small. Our Sadie (and her mom and dad) came a long way in the beginner class! Looking forward to the intermediate class.

  • Melanie has been wonderful! I took the Basic Manners class, with my 1.5 year old dog, and it has truly made a big difference. highly recommend it. Thank you so much!

  • Melanie did an amazing job helping us direct our hyper and out of control golden puppy into a calm, but still joyful, family dog!

  • Melanie truly has a gift. She takes the time to get to know your dog and their personality and is able to work with them in a way that works for them. Additionally she has been a huge help in teaching me as to how best to help my dog with anxiety and obedience. After doing private lessons we decided it would be best to do the board and train to help my dog with anxiety and being reactionary in public places. The kindness and knowledge that Melanie brings has transformed my dog. I could not recommend Melanie & Peak K-9 more highly!!

  • After adopting an adolescent resuce with a rocky start to life, we found ourselves needing lots of training and coaching! We were fortunate to find Melanie who was able to see that our girl was a diamond in the rough! Melanie's training (for both dog and the humans!) made all the difference in the world. She balanced a commitment to our success with patience and compassion. Her extensive knowledge helped us learn how to redirect our dog's energy, manage new situations, and build new skills. We could not be more thankful for how Melanie helped our girl become confident and successful, and our house more peaceful! We recommend Melanie and Peak K-9 hands down!

  • Absolutely LOVE Peak K-9!!! Melanie is stellar with our dogs. I have 2 very stubborn 7 year old huskies who are runners. She was able to show us how to hone in that energy and focus on the boys on us and not everything else. We learned so much from Melanie and so look forward to our next sessions with her. I highly recommend her for any breed and age, such a gentle touch and so patient!!!
