The gold standard for off-leash obedience, manners, and real-world proofing in Everett and PNW trails.
We don't teach robotic obedience in an artificial environment. We build a system of communication, trust, and rock-solid reliability that holds up with any level of distraction.
No cookie-cutter formulas. We assess your dog's temperament, drive, genetics, and relationship dynamics to create a completely individualized training plan.
Anyone can make a dog sit in a sterile environment. We take dogs out on daily adventuresโPNW trails, rivers, fields, and busy town centers.
Training only sticks if you understand how to speak your dog's language. Every program includes comprehensive one-on-one owner handover sessions and videos.
Your journey doesn't end when your dog comes home. All Board & Train and Day Training graduates receive lifelong support, check-ins, and boarding priority.
"We don't just teach your dog commands in one environment. We build behavior that works everywhere you go."

Read genuine reviews from Everett and Seattle dog owners who experienced the K9 Reform transformation.
"Mari is simply amazing. She helped train our dog reactive, high prey drive rescue pup Cooper five years ago, and he's been going back for board and trains ever since. She equipped us with tools and we're now able to do things with him we couldn't have imaginedโhiking, camping, and behaving at home. He adores her and his whole body wiggles with excitement when she comes to pick him up!"
"The progress I've seen with my German Shepherd Mila has been unbelievable. Mari followed Mila's pace throughout the board and train. Mila absolutely LOVES Mari! I would recommend K9 Reform to anyone looking to improve their relationship with their dogโwhether you're working through reactivity, confidence issues, or building a solid foundation."
"I sent my headstrong puppy to Mari's for a board and train. Mari kept in touch with me throughout the whole experience, sending videos of Leo learning and improving. He came home significantly improvedโhe no longer pulls at his leash and is responsive and obedient. Coworkers at my office are always impressed by how quiet and well-behaved he is!"
"My boy Zeppolli was high anxiety, always moving and overwhelmed with everything. Before training, he was days away from having to be returned to the shelter. Reaching out was the BEST decision! After his board and train, Zeppolli came home with skills and manners. I am much more confident with his needs. A lifelong bond!"
"Millie was super reactive and did not walk well on leash. Working with Mari changed our life. We were so overwhelmed and Mari reassured us that she just needed consistent training. Mari trained US on dog training. She is the perfect mix of compassionate and loving but firm. Our absolute favorite trainer!"
"She's been working with my Doberman Tooka, who struggled with aggression toward people and other dogs. Her patience, skill, and dedication have made a huge difference. Tooka is now so much more manageableโwe can actually go out in public without her going crazy. She truly knows what she's doing!"
"An absolute blessing for our sweet German Shepherd Winston. She was an invaluable part of his professional training and the results keep paying off long after he graduated. We board him every time we go on vacation and he adores her. Total peace of mind knowing he's in the best care!"
"My dog was 2 and uncontrollable for most including myself. We set up a plan for my pup to attend training. In the 6 months since, I've seen tremendous improvement! He even boards every other weekend and feels so safe. I can take him somewhere without stressing even with his prior anxiety."
