The K9 Reform Philosophy

Training That Unlocks True Freedom

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.

Every Dog is Unique

No cookie-cutter formulas. We assess your dog's temperament, drive, genetics, and relationship dynamics to create a completely individualized training plan.

Real-World Environmental Proofing

Anyone can make a dog sit in a sterile environment. We take dogs out on daily adventuresโ€”PNW trails, rivers, fields, and busy town centers.

We Train You, Too

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.

Lifelong Partnership & Support

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.

Proofed Outside The Classroom

Built for the Real World

"We don't just teach your dog commands in one environment. We build behavior that works everywhere you go."

Compassionate & Realistic Rehabilitation

Reactivity & Aggression Management

Living with a reactive or aggressive dog is stressful, isolating, and overwhelming. At K9 Reform, we provide a structured, non-judgmental environment to help both dog and owner regain control.

Our Stance on Aggression:
True aggression is about ongoing management, clear boundaries, and reliable tools. We don't make false claims to "cure" dogsโ€”instead, we equip you with the practical skills, neutrality, and confidence to live safely together.
โœ“Dog & Human Neutrality: Eliminating reactive explosions and building calm focus.
โœ“Muzzle Conditioning: Safe, positive introduction so your dog is relaxed and comfortable.
โœ“Threshold Management: Understanding your dog's triggers before they escalate.
โœ“Private Client Video Hub (YouTube Channel Access): Step-by-step training video library covering all graduation and maintenance steps.
โœ“2+ Dedicated Handover Lessons + Lifelong Follow-Up Support: Unmatched post-training coaching and lifetime direct trainer messaging.

Real Owner Stories

Reformed Dogs. Confident Owners.

Read genuine reviews from Everett and Seattle dog owners who experienced the K9 Reform transformation.

C
Cooper Board & Train / Boarding
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"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 imaginedโ€”hiking, camping, and behaving at home. He adores her and his whole body wiggles with excitement when she comes to pick him up!"

Mila German Shepherd โ€ข Board & Train
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"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 dogโ€”whether you're working through reactivity, confidence issues, or building a solid foundation."

L
Leo Board & Train
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"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 improvedโ€”he 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!"

Z
Zeppolli Board & Train
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"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!"

โ€” Shellie Tedrick
M
Millie Rescue Pup โ€ข Private Lessons
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"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!"

Tooka Doberman โ€ข Behavior Mod
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"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 manageableโ€”we can actually go out in public without her going crazy. She truly knows what she's doing!"

Winston German Shepherd โ€ข Boarding & Training
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"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!"

O
Oso Board & Train
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"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."

Everything You Need to Know

Dogs follow a structured rhythm: morning potty and physical exercise (fenced yard time or slatmill runs), multiple focused training sessions throughout the day, structured rest in individual crates to build settling skills, real-world field trips (trails, parks, pet-friendly retail stores), and evening downtime with personalized care.
Dogs stay on private property in Everett, WA, approximately 10 feet from our back door. The dedicated facility is 500 sq ft, fully climate-controlled (heating & air conditioning), monitored by 24/7 HD security cameras, and features 3 large fully fenced play yards.
Because our facility is located at our private residence, we do not host in-person public tours to respect household privacy and maintain a calm, secure environment for our boarding dogs. We provide comprehensive photo/video updates and transparent walkthroughs over our free phone consultation.
For the health and safety of all dogs, we strictly require proof of up-to-date vaccinations including: Rabies, Parvo / Distemper (DHPP), and Bordetella.
We use a balanced, relationship-based approach tailored to each individual dog. We build clear communication and engagement using food, toys, slip leads, place cots, andโ€”for off-leash and advanced reliabilityโ€”modern, low-level E-collar conditioning. Every tool is introduced with clarity, fairness, and compassion.
Every training program at K9 Reform includes comprehensive 1-on-1 owner handover sessions and lifelong training support. Furthermore, clients in our Day Training, Board & Train, and Behavior Modification programs receive full access to our private client video training hub (YouTube channel) with step-by-step guidance.
Yes! We specialize in reactive, high-drive, and selective dogs. Because we have multiple separate fenced yards and structured individual rotations, dogs that aren't social with other dogs can exercise, play, and board safely with zero risk.
